WASHINGTON, Oct. 24. Having summed up his views on government admin- istration and campaign. ‘is- +sues in his address before ‘the United States Chamber ‘ot Commerce, President Coolidge to- day had few other engagements on his calendar prior to the election and. none calling for an extended speech. In the statement of his ‘position fon government problems last night, Mr. Coolidge said furher ‘tax reduc- tion is possible, and asserted. that the administration is' prepared | to } continue: co-operation ‘in internation- ‘al affairs in the interests of peace, ts , ready to investigate agricultural con- ditions to place farming on a profit- ‘able basis, and is’ determined to maintain a protective tariff. He also “reiterated his opposition to propos- “als for public ownership of trans- portation and ‘for lmitatton of the “powers of the supreme court whith She assailed ax “revolutionary.” bag the ~ intimately dy east an. with policy of - "detacea \government,”.

That. nation. .which.. demonstrates that it ‘has ‘sufficient self-control to adopt this course will immediately become ‘the leader in the financial world. That leadership is easily within American grasp. But to se- cure it requires prompt action and constant vigilance. “Recent complications . disclose that tho present yéarly cost of na- tional. and local governments has reached the staggering sum of over $10,000,000,000. . The national gov- ernment -pays out oné-third, the lo- cal government two-thirds of this amount. This-is about the sum that all the American” farmers ‘receive for all their output for a year. It is 93 per cent of all wages and sal- ‘aries of” industrial plants in the cen- ‘sus of menufactures. “The present poleey of the govern- mént has been to ‘pay off the na- tional debt and reduce the -national expenditures.,« Since’ Jurie 30,1921, the national government has ‘reduc: ‘edits yearly expefiditures about $2, 000,000,000. It has paid off abo two and three-quarter billions of dol- lars of its debt and reduced its an- nual interest by over $130,000,000. It is anticipated. that in spite of some new items of cost the budget of next year can be. considerably less than the appropriations of the present year. In 1920,;the percap- ita. tax. was nearly $54, in 1924 it wags under $30 and by 1926 it has been under $27.

The claim can scarcely be made that the poor are obliged to pay direct taxes to, the national. government: All talk then about taking direct taxes off’ the rich and leaving them on the poor is simply misleading. But every student is well aware that the public in general, which is mostly made up of people of moderate ‘means, do and must indirectly pay tile expenses of the government. “The ‘great corporations, the banks, the railroads—all the great incomes—do and must collect their money from the people. All our food, clothes and fuel pays a tax to ‘the government and the’ people who earn the wages of the ration do and must pay the taxes when they buy these necessities. This simple fact determines what may be a sound policy of taXation. It should be at a rate which will produce the pth amount _ of peeaiy from most to ford the wage earners am- ple. employment with -good pay, in order-that they’ may bear the*bur- dent of indirect: taxation. “A-very material part-of our. rev- ‘enue comes from the tariff, which is now ‘running at the rate of ‘about $550,000,000 ‘per: year. This is’.not withstanding: the fact that we have the lowest tariff which the Repub- lican party has enacted since 1890. and that ft is even lower than the Democratic tariff of 1894. Nearly 57 per cent of our imports are on the free list, while the average duty on all imports is less than 15 per cent.. Under it, in spite of prophe- sies. to the contrasy our foreign trade has greatly increased. . It has been constantly asserted that what the farmer buys is protected and what he sells is not protected. Al- most everything that is used in the business of farming as a matter of fact is on the free 11 while almost everything that the farmer raises is protected, from the nuts and citrus fruits of the Pacific coast through the sugar, grain and animal pro- ducts of the central “west to the dairy and tobacco products of the east. Without such protection many of these farm products woukl be de- stroyed by foreign competion. When we turn to our industrial life, we find that the wages both In rate and buying power of the American work- man are more than twice that of the best paid foreign labor. Compared to 1913 the advance in the wages of union labor is 99 per cent, while in the ordinary lving costs it.is only ‘about 69 per cont... American indus- try can not exist, among wages cannot be paid, the American stand- ard of living cannot be maintained without a protective tariff. “It 1s impossible to escape the conclusion that the general econo: ig condition of the country is good. While business and agriculture ha not fully recovered the losses caused by the world war depression which always follows war, they are now ona fairly profitable basis. It would be natural to suppose that every well-wisher of the country would be anxious to maintain the present established order of things, which has given to the peofle of America, a position superior to that ever held by any people. But in spite of the extraordinary fesults which have been accomplished, there Is not only a large amount of criticism, but proposals to make at Teast two of the most revolutionary changes, “Tt has always been the theory of our institutions that the people should own the government and not _the government should own the Deo: » » 000,000, the property of the nation mu ple. This policy can not be main- tained unless the people continue to own and control their own prop- erty. The most important’ property of the country is transportation and water power. It is not only very large in amount but Is of the great- est strategic value. It could be used in such a way as to assume virtual control of all other business of any fmportance. It is proposed that these properties,.should be brought under public ownership. “Responsible public commissions have valued these at about $35,000,- Such a cost would more than double all our public debts. And be made up of taxes. We did that deficit in earnings would have to during the war at a cost of $1,- 600,000,000. With the government in possession of such a great engine, with two and three quarter millions of employes, spending $9,000,000,000 or $10,000,000,000 each year holding virtually the power of life and death, what chance would the rest of the people of .this country have?
