Reclamation.
The national government Is commit-
ted to a policy of reclamation and ir-
rigation which it desires to establish
on a sound basis and continue in the
Interest of the localities concerned.
Shipping.
The maintenance of a merchant ma-
rine is of the utmost importance for
national defense and the service of
our commerce. We have a large num-
ber of ships engaged in that service.
We also have a surplus supply, costly
to care for, which ought to be sold.
Coal.
The perennial conflict in the coal in-
dustry Is still going on to the great
detriment of the wrage earners, the
owners, and especially to the public.
The industry could serve the public
much better and become subject to a
much more effective method of control
if regional consolidations and more
freedom In the formation of market-
ing associations, under the supervision
of the Department of Commerce, were
permitted.
The problem of Muscle Shoals seems
to me to have assumed a place all
out of proportion with its real impor-
tance. This property ought to be
transferred to private management un-
der conditions which will dedicate it
to the public purpose for which it was
conceived.

Prohibition.
Under the orderly processes of our
fundamental institutions the Consti-
tution was mteiy "amenaea providing
for national prohibition. The congress
passed an act for its enforcement, and
similar acts have been provided by
most of the states. It is the law of
the land. It is the duty of all who
come under Its jurisdiction to observe
the spirit of that law, and- it is the
cfuty of the Department of Justice and
the Treasury department to enforce it.
Waterway Development.
For many years our country has
been employed in plans and opera-
tions Lor the development of our In-
tracoastal and inland waterways. This
work along our coast Is an important
adjunct to our commerce. It will be
carried on, together with the further
opening up of our harbors, as our
resources permit.
Along with the development of navi-
gation should go every possible en-
couragement for the development of
our water power.
Railroads.
The railroads throughout the coun-
try are in a fair state of prosperity.
Their service is good and their supply
of cars is abundant. Their condition
would be improved and the public bet-
ter served by a system of consolida-
tions. I recommend that the congress
authorize such consolidations.
Civil Service.
In 1883 the congress passed the
civil service act, which from a modest
beginning of 14,000 employees has
grown until there are now 425,000 in
the classified service. This has re-
moved the clerical force of the nation
from the wasteful effects of the
spoils system and made it more stable
and efficient. The time has come to
consider classifying all postmasters,
collectors of customs, collectors of in-
ternal revenue and prohibition agents
by an act covering those at present
in office, except when otherwise pro-
vided by executive order.
It is apparent that we are reaching
into an era of great general prosper-
ity. It will continue only so long as
we shall use it properly. If the people
will continue industrious and thrifty,
contented with fair wages and mod-
erate profits, and the returns which
accrue from the development of our
natural resources, our prosperity will
extend itself Indefinitely.

trained, well equipped, and high in

Aviation is of great importance both
for national defense and commercial
development. We ought to proceed in
its improvement by the necessary ex-
periment and investigation. Our coun-
try is not behind in this art.
Veterans.
If anyone desires to estimate the
esteem in which the veterans of
America are held by their fellow citi-
zens, it is but necessary to remember
that the current budget calls for an
expenditure of about $650,000,000 in
their behalf.
Agriculture.
No doubt the position of agriculture
as a whole has very much improved
since the depression of three and four
years ago. But there are many local-
ities and many groups of individuals,
apparently through no fault of_thelr
own, sometimes due to climatic con-
ditions and sometimes to the prevail-
ing price of a certain crop, still in a
distressing condition. This is prob-
ably temporary, but it is none the less • How did you become such a wonderful
acute. National government agencies,
the Departments of Agriculture and
Commerce, the farm loan board, the
Intermediate credit banks, and the
federal reserve board are all co-oper-
ating to be of assistance and relief.
On the other hand, there are locali-
ties and individuals who have had one
of their most prosperous years.

COOLIDGE MESSAGE
Condition of Country Is One
of Progress and Prosperity
—Approves Revenue Bill.
CONGRESS GIVEN
Washington.—In his message to the
Sixty-ninth congress, President Cool-
idge said that the general condition
of the nation is one of progress and
prosperity. The President stated that
he approved of the new revenue bill
as framed by the house ways and
means committee. The President’s
message In part is as follows:
Members of the Congress:
In meeting the constitutional re-
quirements of Informing the congress
upon the state of the Union, it is ex-
ceedingly gratifying to report that the
general condition is one of progress
and prosperity.
For Government Economy.
It is a fundamental principle of our
country, that the people are sovereign.
They hold inviolate in their own hands
the jurisdiction over their own i'ree-
dom and the ownership of their own
property. The wealth of our country
is not public wealth, but private
wealth. It does not belong to the gov-
ernment, it belongs to the people. It
is always necessary to keep these
principles in mind in the laying of
taxes and in the making of appro-
priations. All proposals for assuming
new obligations ought to be postponed,
unless they are reproductive capital in-
vestments or are such as are abso-
lutely necessary at this time.
It has always been our policy to
retire our debts.
The taxpayer will be required to
produce nearly twice the amount of
commodities to pay his debt if the dol-
lar returns to the 1913 value. The
more we pay while prices are high,
the easier it will be.
There is room for further economy
in the cost of the federal government,
but a comparison of current expendi-
tures with pre-war expenditures is not
unfavorable to the efficiency with
which government business is now be-
ing done.
I believe that present federal ex-
penses are not far out of line with
pre-war expenses. We have nearly
accomplished the deflation.
Budget.
The congress has wisely set up the
bureau of budget.
This gives a centralized authority
where a general and comprehensive
understanding can be reached of the
sources of income and the most equi-
table distribution of expenditures. How
well it has worked is indicated by the
fact that the departmental ^estimates
for 1922, before) the budget jaw, were
wnne the bu'dget esti-
mates for 1927 are $3,156,000,000. This
latter figure shows the reductions in
departmental estimates for the com-
ing year made possible by the opera-
tion of the budget system that the
congress has provided.
Taxation.
The purpose of reducing expendi-
tures is to secure a reduction in
taxes. That purpose is about to be
realized. With commendable prompt-
ness the ways and means committee
of the house has undertaken in ad-
vance of the meeting of the congress
to frame a revenue, act. In its present
form it should provide sufficient rev-
enue for the government. I approve of
the bill in principle.
I am advised that the bill will be
through the house by Christmas. The
bill should reach me prior to March
15.
Foreign Relations.
The policy of our foreign relations,
casting aside any suggestion of force,
rests solely on the foundation of
peace, good will, and good works.
It seems clear that it is the reduc-
tion of armies rather than of navies
that is of the first importance to the
world at the present time.
Court of International Justice.
Pending before the senate for near-
ly three years is the proposal1 to ad-
here to the protocol establishing the
Permanent Court of International
Justice. A well-established line of
precedents mark America’s effort to
effect the establishment of a court of
this nature.
i Foreign Debts.
Gradually, settlements have been
made which provide for the liquidation
of debts due to our government from
foreign governments.
Immigration.
While not enough time has elapsed
to afford a conclusive demonstration,
such results as have been secured in-
dicate that our immigration law is on
the whole beneficial.' It is undoubted-
ly a protection to the wage earners of
this country.
National Defense. i
Never before in time of peace has
our country maintained so large and
effective a military force as it now
has. The army, navy, marine corps,
National Guard, and organized re-.

Charles Lamb’s Salary
by No Means Inadequate
Charles Lamb, whose release from
the India house on Marcli 29, 1825,
was celebrated by a centenary dinner,
was not badly treated there. For some
time before his retirement’ at the age
of fifty his salary was £750—equal to
about £2,000 ($10,000) in those days,
when the purchasing power of money
was much greater. Moreover, the India
house clerks had breakfast provided
for them at the office and were given
free supplies of tea to take home;
while the East India company paid
the postage on all letters addressed
to them at Leadenhall street.
When he retired, the company
granted Lamb a pension of £450, ($2,-
650) which was continued on a small-
er scale to Mary Lamb after his death.

Archdeacon Kept Tab
on “Strokes” of Bell
Christ Church gives the signal for
locking-up time to the other Oxford
colleges by the ringing of the big bell
in “Tom Tower” which formerly be-
longed to Oseney abbey. Whatever
may be the case today, “Tom” was
formerly not rung, but banged with a
sledge hammer 101 times, the number
of the members of the house who were
on the foundation. During the mid-
VTctorian era each stroke was care-
fully counted every night by one of
the canons—Archdeacon Clarke—a lit-
tle man with a sepulchral voice, who
preached for seven years on the par-
able of the “Unjust Steward.” One
night the scout who banged “Tom”
either from indolence or negligence
made only 92 strokes. But he had
reckoned without the meticulous arch-
deacon, who detected the omission, and
next morning he was sent for and
dismissed.
Eruption of Mount Pelee
Mt. Pelee is an active volcano on
the northwestern side of Martinique,
an island in the West Indies belong-
ing to France. Notable eruptions of
Mt. Pelee occurred in 1762, 1851,
1902 and 1906. During the eruption
of May 8, 1902, a giant rock 1,000 feet
high was forced out through the cra-
teral dome. The town of St. Pierre
was completely destroyed and between
25,000 and 30,000 people were killed.
In the fall of the same year another
eruption partly destroyed Morne
Rouge and killed about 2,000 people.
—Pathfinder Magazine.
No Give at All
Secretary A. D. Call of the Ameri-
can Peace society said in an eloquent
and optimistic address:
“The road to world peace looks long,
but there is an end to it, after all’
and a speedier end, maybe, than we
think.
“Let us hope. Don’t let us Imitate
the discouraged pacifist, who growled
“ ‘Oh, yes, we pacifists will never
give in; but, then, you know the mili-
tarists will never give out.’ ”
