NONE AT ALL, President Addresses Heads of Departments and Bureaus at Semi-Annual Business Meeting. | { | ‘Washington, Jan. 31 W—I’Jmpha-1 sizing anew the need for maintaining | a well balanced federal budget and of reducing the national debt, Presi- dent Coolldge told the hecads of de- partments and bureaus at the semi- annual government business meeting last night that it is far better to have no tax reduction than to have too much, While he atressed the importance of adhering to a constructive econo- my program, the president declared it would be a mistake to stint activi- | ties vital to the safety and well-be- iing of the nation. In this connection, he mentioned national defense, call- ing attention particularly to the ad-| ministration's naval building pro- gram. “It considers our own require- ments alone and carries no thought of entry into eompetitive construc- tion with any other nation.” he said. “The plan I have endorsed does not contemplate any limitation of time a3 to the beginning or the comple-| tion of this tentative progrom. Bat| it does contemplate the building of the ships as fast as possible.” | Indirect Tax Reduction the policy of keeping governmental expenditures within receipts, Mr. Coolidge pointed out that any sur- plus always could be applied to the public debt, the reduction of which, he said, is in itself indirect tax re-| duetion. “I have expressed myself in favor of turther moderate tax reduction, the president said. “T have indicat ed the maximum reduction we can | now afford. There was no partisan thought in that recommendation. 1| *hope thers will be nona in its final - consideration by the congress. “We must not depart from the wise policy established and thus far rigldly followed of keeping our ex-| . penditures within our receipts. That -1 had in mind in making my recom- mendation. 1t has made a rich con- tribution to the present splendid fi- | nancial status of the country. Tt hes enabled us to hire money at 3 lower rate than any other business in the world. Tt has becn effective in the maintenance of prosperity. 1t | has the hearty endorsement of the ‘taxpayers. *“That policy of a balanced budget | e—expenditures within receipts— | i must not be molested. Tt must not | be endangered. The great good | which has come to this country from | a balanced budget Is'too measure- | lesn, too far-reaching, even to sug-| gest any other course. This nation is neither too weak nor too improvi- dent to meet its obligations as they roceur. ““The budget for 1929 which fore cast & surplus of $2525.540.000 fs | .now befors the Congress. The action #o far taken by the Con-| gress on that budget indicates no tention of diminishing the expectted | sorplus. With & continuation of the efforts for economy in federal operations we can have a moderate reduction in taxes and at the mame | time sdequately meet the urgent| national problems which are now ‘ eonfronting us. Result of Past Eoonomy . *Past economy has given us the ‘means for internal improvements .end dovelopments and more ade- quate natlonal defense. But we cannot stand the cost of the things which we should and must have, if we adopt excessive tax reduction ‘Tt 19 far better to have no tax re- | dyction than to have too much. We have the publie debt to which to * apply every dollar of whatever sur- . plus may sccrue. That, indirectly, +1s tax reduction. Every dollar ap- plied to the debt saves perpetnally the interest on that dollar. It is a , contribution to the welfare of the . people, & logical step nearer ade- quate tax reduction.” | 2 no slackening in the effort | minignum COOLIDGE ASSERTS source of expense, he asserted, is for national defense. “The cost of this for next year is estimated at approximately $650,- 000,000, the president continued. “That means an average expendi- ture of $1,233 for every minute or $20.550 for every second of the year. The army program contemplates an expenditure in excess of $100,000,- 000 and a construction program for the navy is now receiving the con- sideration of the Congress. “The authorizatioin of 1916 was the last complete navy program and that has been practically completed. The recommendation now before the ‘ongress to replace obsolete naval vessels and moderately increase our naval strength contemplates an or- derly construction procedure; noth- ing more”, President Coolidge closed his re- marks with a tribute to Director Lord, of the Rudget Bureau, who, \e said, had the “judgment to say ves when the facts warranted and the courage to say no when the facts warranted”. Following the president, Director Lord declared that while there will for economy, there is an irreducibble of expenditure before which the government cannot go. “We may possibly have reached that terminal”, the director added. “The country grows and develops. The bigger the country the bigger the operating costs.

MILLIONS USED ADVISING COUNTRY New York, Jan. 31 UP—American industries are spending more than $30,000,000 & year to teach their buying public what to buy. As & matter of fact this business of edu- cation is an industry itself, employ- ing about 5,000 persons and nation- wide in ita extent. Education of the public is not the sole purpose of the 280 trade asso- ciations organizad in this country, however, While it is important, the exchange of trade, technical and market information, collection of ac- counts, research work of every aore, standardization, preparation of ac- counting systems and other work i» done for the various industries. Financial support for the trade associations comes eventually from the educated buyer, of course, but diretcly it is obtained either througn levies on the individual units of in- dustry, such as 1 per cent of the total of factory sales, or through contributions. The $30,000,000 expenditure does not include all advertising in news- papers and magazines, both for in- dustries and for units thereof. It does, however, include a portion of the cost of placing publicity favor- able to the interested industries, READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS FOR YOUR WANTS Use New Franklin No-Knock Gasoline A Wonderful Winter Gas High Test—for Quick Starting—No Pop- ping.

Chicago, Jan. 31 (M—Second place in the big ten basketball race today ‘was occupled by Northwestern uni- versity with four victories and one defeat. ‘The purple cagers took undisputed possession of the runner-up position last night by winning a hard, rough game with Minnesota, 25 to 22, at Evanston. Wisconsin had been tied with Northwestern for the position with three wins and one loss, was idle and dropped into third place. Failure of the Gophers to find the basket in the first 15 minutes of play caused their defeat. During that period, they were able to sink only three free throws while Northwes- tern scored <15 points. In the second half, however, the Gophers rallied, overcame their opponents and the result was in doubt until the last minute of play. The defeat gave Minnesota a zero average for its first voad trip of the season, having lost Saturday night at Chicago. 8o far, Minnestota dus won one and lost three contests. Jowa defested Creighton univer- sity, 30 to 36, in & non-conference game last night at Iowa City. Other big ten teams were idle.
