In the matter of tax reduction, the Presi- dent expressed the thought that it might be pos- sible to further reduce the income taxes for 1925. This result, he makes clear, can be accomplished by the saving of the people's money, through careful stewardship on the part of the govern- ment officials. The President made it known that he stands as firmly to-day as he ever has in favor of a tariff that would protect the citizens of the coun- try, no matter what section is involved. Presi- dent Coolidge said his desire Was that labor in all its branches should receive full return for its efforts. He does not believe that any kind of human acitvities should receive something for nothing, but he is strong in his belief that labor should be paid a just Wage. President Coolidge said in his address that he believes that the work- ing Woman, as Well as the working man, should have, at all times, equitable treatment, contend- ing that good Wages, and supplied households, make for a contented citizen. The President said that he thought the Workman should be given such protection as will enable him to receive wages that will provide ample comforts for him and his family. He is for the protection of the American wage scale and the American standard of living, which is the highest in the World. -------T H E A U R o R A--------------------- ------------ In discussing the World Court, the President expressed the hope that the nations of the world might arrive at a lasting peace. World peace, he says, must come from the heart and while World courts, parliaments, and other gatherings may be of advantage in securing the desired result, the prime factor is the attitude of the people of the world themselves. President Coolidge is not in favor of any entangling alliance nor of our surrendering, in the slightest manner, the rights that We have enjoyed for years. Speaking about the matter of foreign rela- tions, the President expressed the desirability of the United States, not only maintaining, but ex- tending relations with the people of the rest of the World. There is not doubt that friendly com- mercial relations Will do much to bring about better political feelings between the countries of the World. Calvin Coolidge desires that every alien ad- mitted to our shores receive just and fair treat- ment, and that the thought may be brought home to the new citizen that the United States is the land of opportunity, not only for himself, but for his children. The inaugural address of President Coolidge was delivered with characteristic earnestness. It was the kind of message that the people of the United States expected him to deliver. 1mm-uinxuxulxlnrvnui-uxoia-ll1Ir1Iu-luxluxlulrrllill-nll11l-lull:-vlltvll-ull-ull-an-5111:-nn-nina-gl-un-min-.np-.n.1gl-cuxqu-:min-u1u1u1ls:n0li Page S1

The editorial staff of the Aurora changed the policy of this department slightly in having an essay contest on the inauguration of Presi- dent Coolidge rather than a short story contest. The staff felt that there was much more educational value derived from this subject, be- cause the inauguration was discussed from one viewpoint or another in almost every depart- ment in the school. The Writing of the essay was made compul- sory and the respective English instructors se- lected the three best papers in their divisions. After this process of elimination, there were twelve papers and from these Miss Ellen Con- nell, the judge of the contest, selected the paper of Miss Mary Space, a member of the Class of 1928. The judge was instructed to consider sub- ject-matter, technique, rhetoric, style and in- dividuality. The under classes were given pref- erence over the other classes in the final analysis. This was deemed advisable because a Senior paper would naturally be expected to be better than a Freshman composition. The Aurora presented Miss Space with a gold piece in recognition of her attainments and the editor thanks the students of the school for the apparent interest in the contest. THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS. The inaugural address of Calvin Coolidge was delivered on Wednesday, March 4th, 1925. The speech was clear and so worded that every- body could understand just what the President meant. In his address, President Coolidge said that he wished that the United States might continue to prosper, that the lot of each man, woman and child might be a happy one. His speech was from his heart, and it was the speech of a man who loves his country. Calvin Coolidge drove home the importance of the saving of the taxpayer's money. There is no doubt that in the President's mind, the na- tion's debt may be materially reduced. This, he believes, because it will be one of the causes of lessening the burdens now borne by the people in the form of taxes. His views on this subject, if acted upon by state government, would further reduce the burden of taxes borne by our people. There is a determination on the part of the President to prevent the waste of a single dollar of the people's money. Coolidge believes that every dollar saved in the matter of taxes will add .-gl1qg1n....14.11:11n-.qu1.--ql1.n1,,1,n1n-.1n1-sa-.I-qp1..1..1..1..1..1...-.ltlliul-..ll1qp1l l.1...1...-.,1..-...1,.1.,1.-il:-..1..1u1uu-.q In lliliv 30 l1nn1nluclln-.lu-n1np-xl!-1:01 lx:
