PUT YOURSELF IN HIS PLACE Suddenly, unexpectedly, elevated to the Presidency, as was Mr. Coolidge, test his course of conduct by asking yourself, what you would have done in his place—how differently would you have acted? This is the question asked by Mary L. Requa, chairman of the Republican Presidential Campaign Committee of California. "Coolidge in effect declared that as a Vice President who by Act of God had been elevated to the Presidency, would retain the Cabinet and further the policies of his predecessor," said Requa. "Roosevelt said and did exactly the same thing. Would you have done otherwise? "When the storm of scandal broke over the heads of some of Harding's (not Coolidge's) Cabinet officers; when Congress by resolution expressed its lack of confidence in one of them and called upon the President to dismiss him President Coolidge in effect said such a resolution is an arrogant and illegal effort of the law making body to coerce the executive and usurp its powers, an encroachment upon the powers reserved by the Constitution to the Executive. As fittingly might I derlate my lack of confidence in some Senator and demand his expulsion. "Would you have acted differently? "Dismissal of these Cabinet officials was demanded. Coolidge in effect said: They are not my appointees. No consideration of party expediency would ever atone to my conscience if I yielded to popular clamor, dismissed these officers and subjected them to eternal disgrace, when the outsome may prove them to be upright men. I shall wait until there is produced legal evidence justifying such action." Would you have reasoned differently? would establish a plant in their town. Purdy and Marsh contended they made the representations in good faith and in accordance with instructions from the securities company, which was handling the products company stock. No decision was ever made by the products company to establish a plant at Mountain View, according to testimony at the hearings. The evidence also showed the brokerage house had knowledge that its agents were making representations to the contrary. Among the principal witnesses at the hearings were B. W. Holman and Frank Everton, who said they bought Kings Food stock in the belief that the company would establish a plant at Mountain View, their home town. LA FOLLETTE'S IDEAS If the people of the United States were fully aware of the La Follette conception of economy and efficiency in state government, he would be given short shift indeed by the public mind in consideration for the office of chief executive of the national government. This is the word that comes out of Wisconsin; the cry of over burdened tax payers, who for 22 years have existed under the La Follette theories of good government, and who are thoroughly weary of these theories And this crp is raised by many who were his ardent supporters in the days when he was bidding for the office of Governor, on a platform which it pleased him to call the "reform" ticket. The people of Wisconsin, under the administration of La Follette, and under the succeeding administrations dominated by the La Follette machine have experienced "reform" but not of the type which they expected which, if La Follette promised anything at all, they were eased. Indeed the figures supplied interested sources as to the cost of state governmen consin, since La Follette and of reformers gained control are nothing short of amassed statistics are used reading, but they are illuminated difficult to controvert. Twenty two years of La Follette in Wisconsin have produced lowing results for the states by a survey recently completed National Industrial Conference the tax burden in Wisconsin cent larger than that of most as much larger than that 40 per cent larger than that gan and 33 per cent larger of Indiana—all neighbors where practically the same as climate and resources.

"Damnissal of these Cabinet officials was demanded. Coolidge in effect said: 'They are not my appointees. No consideration of party expediency would ever atone to my conscience if I yielded to popular clamor, dismissed these officers and subjected them to eternal disgrace, when the outcome may prove them to be upright men. I shall wait until there is produced legal evidence justifying such action.' Would you have reasoned differently? The American principle is that a man is innocent until proven guilty. Would you have acted differently and would you not have been cowardly had you done so? "The wildest howling deverishes, such as Wheeler, do not assert that the fraudulent character of any of the oil leases was known to or discussed by the cabinet. Coolidge sat without a portfolio, without representing any Department of Government, in the Cabinet. It is pure assumption that Coolidge did know all or anything about the oil leases or that they were discussed in Cabinet meetings. "The Navy and the Interior Departments had agreed upon the wisdom of making certain changes in control of the public lands and contemplated the leasing of certain oil lands, as has been done by Secretary Josephus Daniels. Assume that Coolidge voiced no protest. Would you have done differently? "The legality or illegality of these leases is now up for judicial consideration. President Coolidge has set afoot civil and criminal judicial inquiries under the charge of eminent and disinterested lawyers. Would you have done otherwise? "Scan the Coolidge record. In the main, would you have acted differently and are you not justly proud that so calm, so just, so upright and so fearless a man is the Chief Executive of our Nation?" RESCINDS LICENSE Climaxing proceedings that covered hearings in April, May and June of this year, Edwin M. Daugherty, state corporation commissioner, has signed an order revoking the license of the National Commercial Securities Company, a brokerage firm operating many branches in California and Oregon. Featuring the proceedings testimony was heard relative to the operations of the Kings Food Products company for which the securities company was Climaxing proceedings that covered hearings in April, May and June of this year, Edwin M. Daugherty, state corporation commissioner, has signed an order revoking the license of the National Commercial Securities Company, a brokerage firm operating many branches in California and Oregon. Featuring the proceedings testimony was heard relative to the operations of the Kings Food Products company for which the securities company was fiscal agent and the stock of which was spread among investors in nearly all sections of the Pacific Coast. Following the close of the hearings on June 12, 1924, the securities company ceased business and the corporation department made a close study of the voluminous testimony before preparing the findings, approval of which, by the Commissioner, was announced today. The department found the officers of the securities company were not conducting its business properly. The evidence also showed, the department believes, that local agents of the brokerage house were more guilty in misrepresenting facts than the company itself. It was also suggested at the department that any persons who believed that they had lost money thru these misrepresentations should take the matter up with the prosecuting officers of their counties to determine if a crime had been committed. The chief complainants against the securities company were two of its own agents, H. E. Purdy and A. F. Marsh whose stock-selling activities covered the community of Mountain View and the surrounding territory in Northern California. Residents on Mountain View, it was testified, bought stock of the Kings Food Products company on representations that this company The type which they expected, or to which, if La Follette promises mean anything at all, they were entitled. Indeed the figures supplied by disinterested sources as to the increase of the cost of state governent in Wisconsin, since La Follette and his crew of reformers gained control, in 1901, are nothing short of amazing. Unadorned statistics are usually dull reading, but they are illuminating and difficult to controvert. Twenty two years of La Folletteism in Wisconsin have produced the following results for the state, as shown by a survey recently completed by the National Industrial Conference Board: the tax burden in Wisconsin is 60 per cent larger than that of Illinois, almost as much larger than that of Ohio 40 per cent larger than that of Michigan and 33 per cent larger than that of Indiana—all neighboring states, where practically the same conditions exist to climate and resources obtain. The population of the state has increased 28 per cent in the last 22 years but the expense of state government has increased more than 40 per cent—a brilliant example of the La Follette type of reform. Appropriations to commissions before the La Follette era were reckoned in terms of thousands of dollars annually; now they are reckoned in terms of hundreds of thousands of dollars, in most instances such is the La Follette conception of reform. These are exceptions, of course. Exponents of the State Tax Commission, which was, naturally, an important department under the La Follette regime, increased 20 times; expenses of the oil inspection department increased 26 fold, but the appropriations for the Veterans' Home less than doubled in the 22 year period. Perhaps, when it came to making appropriations for the veterans, the administration was in the throes of one of its apparently rare fits of economy, although, after the war, the number of veterans needing state aid must have increased enormously. Perhaps, on the other hand, the La Follette machine could not see its way clear to give aid and comfort to theoes of the country which La Follette so earnestly defended during the war. Or, perhaps, and this is not unlikely the veterans themselves refused to appeal for aid frof an administration which had overlooked no opportunity to hamper their efforts to assist in bringing the war to a successful conclusion for the country which they faithfully served, the United States. Whatever the reason, largesse has been distributed with free hand to the stantey sundry "reform" commissions, but in a manner verging on the niggardly to the war veterans. Such are the principles of reform as conceived by Robert M. La Follette. DOBLE MUST APPEAR Even if Abner Doble, son of a wealthy San Francisco steam automobile manufacturer, is detained in Superior Court at the Bay City, he must appear in person in Justice Jack Landell's court to answer to a complaint based on his non-appearance on a speeding charge. Justice Landell and Traffic Officer Henry Meyers, who made the arrest, made this decision after they received a telegram from Doble at Berkeley, explaining his absence and adding he hoped he would hear from the court. Service of summons in the cast had been delayed three days after officials of an Auto Club received word from Doble that he would return to Santa Ana unsolicited. Doble's case caused comment when Officer Meyers, who booked him at fifty one miles an hour, said Doble protested he was not being given full credit, that his speed on the San Diego highway in reality was seventy eight miles.
