RECOMMENDATIONS
Treatment of the World Court
and the Mellon Tax Plan Was j
as Brief as the Many Other j
Subjects. ,
Washington, Dee. 6 (/P )—President
Coolidge addressed the congress to
ilay for the first time since he be¬
came chief executive, thus breaking
the studied silence ho has maintained
oil public questions since he entered
the white house.
gallery Mrs. Coolidge saj^n the executive
and was given an ovation by
the floor and galleries. Senators, rep- |
He endorsed President Harding's I
proposal for A meric.: n membership |
with reservations in the world court; |
iihqualifieilly approved Secretary Mel- 1
Ion's >ii tax opposition reduction plan, and announc- sol- j j
<*u to enactment of
dicr bonus legislation.
He also went on record as favoring ,
stimulated consolidation of railroads, |
reorganization of the railroad freight
structure as applied to farm pro¬
ducts; ami government assistance in
the disposition of exportable wheat.
He declared against price-fixing for
farm products; against repeal of the
rate section of the Transportation
Act; and revision of the tariff law.
Making his pronouncement on imany !
pu ... die questions the ..resident ., pro- ;
sented a series of succinct rccommen -1
dations I without attempt at argument.
He used exactly nine words in dis- i
posing of the bonus question. After
urging adequate care for disabled for¬
mer service men and generosity in
providing such care, he said: “1 do
not favor the .granting of a bonus.”
The treatment of the world court
and the Mellon tax plan was almost
as brief. In approaching the court
problem he note I that American for¬
eign policy always had been guided by j
the principles of avoidance of perinu- j
nent political alliances sacrificing in¬
dependence ar^t- of peaceful settle¬
ment of international controversies.
He called attention that the United
States acting on those principles had
for nearly twenty-five years been a
member of The Hague Tribunal and
added that the proposed world court
was “a new and somewhat different
plan.”
“This is not a partisan question,”
The added. “It should not assume an
artificial importance. As 1 wish to
see a court established, and as the
propo a! presents the only practical
plan on which many nations have ever
agreed, though it may not meet every
desire, 1 therefore commend it to the
favorable consideration of the Senate,
with the proposed reservations clearly
indicating our refusal to adhere to
the League of Nations.”
The endorsement of the Mellon plan
•was presented in the course of dis¬
..the cussion nation, of the during physical which condition the presi¬ of j
dent called attention that through the
budget system end economy in expen¬
ditures, the necessities of the govern¬
ment, exclusive of the post office de¬
partment, had been brought down to
$3,000,000,000.
“It. is possible, in consequence, to
make a large reduction in the taxes
of the people," lie continued. “A pro¬
posed plan has been presented in de¬
tail in a statement by flic secretary
of the treasury which has my unqual¬
ified approval. ... A very great ser¬
vice could be rendered through im
"M'diate enactment of legislation re
lbm'-.ip: the people of some of the bur¬
dens of taxation. ... Of all services !
which the congress can render to the
country, 1 have no hesitation in de-;
claring this one to bo paramount.” i
The president prefaced his message j
with a tribute to President Harding, j
declaring "the world knew his
mss and his humanity, his greatness
nnd- his character,” and that “he ha*
made justice more certain and peace
more secure.”
“He is gone,” Mr. Cooldige said.
"We remain. It is our dutv under the
iaspiration of his example to take up
thr buidens ‘which he was permitted
to lay down, and Lo develop and sup
port the wise principles of

TOURISTS RETURNING
HOME FROM FLORIDA
Moultrie, Ga., Dec. G t/P)—Tourists
apparently are not all finding the lo

youth in the land of flowers or at
least many are returning back over
the routes which they traversed re¬
cently with high expectations, ac¬
cording to the reports of filing sta¬
tion managers on the highway.
The reason given by the disappoint¬
ed travellers is that they were lured
to the balmy clime of Florida by re¬
ports that high wages were obtaina¬
ble there in the winter months and
now they are returning, disillusioned,
over the trail that leads home, declar¬
ing their intention of remaining there
according to the filling station em¬
ployees. About half as many are
coming out of Florida at this time of

"His vast fund of accumulated ex¬

j | Weeks’ letter to the comlmittee, “find
his virile interest in our military and
tin questions affecting the national de¬

me that a great mistake will be made
if the present ltuw on the subject of

by him.” .
General Pershing will celebrate his
sixty-fourth birthday Sept. 13,
and under the law will pass automat

is spectial action by congress.
The change in the law proposed by
'Secretary Weeks would permit Gen

Should he so desire, and should P 1 ^ 51 :

P.etw(>en forty and fifty bungalows

i and by the opening of the next sum¬
mer season, according to a statement
mule today by Dr. J. H. Walton,
! wealthy Atlantian, who is spending
j several days in the city
Dr. Walton recently purchased the
I Village tract, containing three hun¬
dred arid eighty acres, from Mrs. An-
1 ua Dodge and has disposed of
; prox’/nafelt (iffy or more building
lots to Atlantian-, who have agreed to
| improve them as soon as the St. Si
i iron’s Highway is completed, which
will, it is now estimate/!, be during
| the first part of .\p> - il. Dr. Walton
t purchased the property for improve¬
ment purposes only, selling the lots
, at the same figure he paid for them.
! with tlu- definite understanding, t ow
j ever, that they were to he improved,
i Ml of the purchasers have stated
/that they (would erect attractive bun
j gain,vs on their lots, among the num¬
ber being Judge Andrew Calhoun, of
! Atlanta, who has long been an ad
j mirer of the island.
This morning Dr. Walton was taken
lover the St. Simon’s Highway as far
j a- it could he. traversed by automo¬
bile—the Back river. “This is one of
11 he most wonderful projects ever un¬
dertaken in Georgia,” stated Dr. Wal¬
ij,'.',. ton. as lie looked with amazement on
has been done in the past few
i months. “There are few people in
I this state that would have ever
! thought for a moment , that ,, , one could >,
i,,• motor from any section of ,. the ,, coun¬
try to St. Simon’s Island by highway
end bridges. The undertaking w:h a
stupendous one and reflects much cre
/lit on the enterprise of the citizens of
Brunswick and Glynn county.
It; is understood that the property
acquired by Dr. Walton will be dis¬
posed) of to Atlantians exclusively

the highway io the island will develop
it into one of the greatest resorts in
the entire country." said I)r. Walton.
“The people can now own their own
homes there and reach them by auto¬
mobile, making them as accessible as
if they were on the mainland, it will
not be a great while before St. Si
i.non’s will be dotted with homes from
one end to the other, for i^ is attract¬
ing more attention just now than any
other section of Georgia."
In addition to the buildings to be
constructed by Atlantians, there are
a number of Brunswiekians who have
bought lots on both St. Simon’s and
Long Islands and will begin the erec
tion of island homes at once. It is
understood _____ that ______ many _______.. Way cross _...... cit- ...
