Washington, March 8—Conviction that the American people look to the executive, judicial and legislative branches of the government to abide by the fundamental purposes for whcih each was created, was express-- ed by President Coolidge in an ad dress tonight at the annual dinner at the White House Correspondents’ as sociation. Speaking informally to the men who daily report events at the White House, the president said: . “I suppose thgt the American peo ple are conscious that we have a con stitution of the United States, and I know that they are attached to the defense and maintenance of that great institution. They know that we have a governmen tthat it is made up of three branches; the executive, whose duty it is to enforce and maintain the laws; the judiciary that interprets the law and administers justice be tween man and man, and the congress TrUe legiflflkll^ bUHIU lil»l III mp posed under the constitution to be engaged in legislation. “I think the American people ap prove heartily of that kind of consti tutional government and that they want it maintained in its fundamen tals.” Attorney General Daughtery also was a guest at the dinner and in an address made reference to the move to compel his retirement from the •abinet.

It was partly from *hat and partly from inheritance that I secured my party affiliations, for the Boston Journal was the strongest Republican newspaper, I think that there was in those days in New En gland.” . The president reminded newspaper men that he had “ mutual responsi bilities,” and said that he felt he was under very great obligations to the newspapers “for the success that I have had through them in informing the American people of what I have tried to adopt and put into effect as policies.” “I think everyone knows that I be- continued. “Not that I can see a real virtue merely in cutting down ex pense,but a real virtue in a construc tive economy that undertakes to mea sure the resources of our country, comparing them with the demands that are made for the expenditure of money, and as wisely as possible making a fair adjustment between those two conflicting forces. “I had occasion to suggest to you that reason that at the present time we are undertaking to make a reduc tion in taxation. I think the effect on the country has been very marked. The reaction has been greater than that in favor of any other proposal that ever came under observation, and I have every reason to believe that the result will be successful and that we shall have here a tax bill that will fairly meet the requirements of the situation.” Here’s What aited For Reed Defeated In Home State 6-PIECE FULL VANITY SUITE the other day that there are many or- “It isn’t much to give up an office,” | ganizations just at the present time Mr. Daughtery declared. “It isn’t much when you live the span of life men ought to live to give up your life, but to give up your honor is another question. “When I came here as attorney gen eral, having to do more than any oth er enforcing officer in the cabinet with the enforcement of the law, answer ed all the questions of all the corre that are very vigorous, very active, in undertaking to secure appropriations from the federal treasury.
