President Covers a Wide
Field in Outlining Policy
for Next Four Years.
•V
i
Washington.— Président Cooildge ad
vised congress in his annual message
that perhaps the most important work
it could do at its present session would
he to practice such economy as to
makfe possible a redaction of taxes for
v. the next fiscal year.
**The government can do more to
remedy the economic tils of the peo
ple by a system of rigid economy In
*' public expenditures," he said, "than
«can be accomplished through any other
action."
The President renewed bis pie» for
American adherence to the Permanent
* Court of international Justice; de
clared the United States would not
;i join the League of Nations; appealed
tor support for the European repara
* t'oos settlement plan, and repeated his
declaration of opposition to caBCella
i on by the United States of the debts
owed the counri*y by foreign nations.
The text of the President's message,
which was read to congress. In part
follows :
The nation bolds a position unsur
passed in all former human experi
ence. This does not mean that we
do not have any problems.
Our domestic problems are for the
most part economic We have our
enormous debt to pay, and we ere
paying It. We have the high coat of
government to diminish, and we are
diminishing It
We still owe over »21,000,000.000,
the cost of the national government
is still about »as 00 . 00 d. 000 . and the
national taxes still amount to about
»27 for eacb one of our inhabitants.
There yet exists this enormous field
for the application of economy. [■"
In my opinion the government can
(
i
>»
do more to remedy the economic Ills
of the people by a system of rigid
economy in public expenditure than
can be accomplished through any
other action.
For Repeat of Publicity AcL
~ Combining discussion of tax revision
with bis statement on economy, the
Executive declared publication of In
come tax payments to be "detrimental
to the public welfare and bound to de
crease public revenues," and urged the
repeal of that section of the revenue
f
J
act
If at tbe close of the present ses
sion the congre«« has kept within the
budget which I propose to present it
will then be posribie to have a mod
erate amount of tax reduction and ail
tbe tax reform that tbe congress may
wish for daring the next fiscal year.
There is every prospect of an era
of prosperity of unprecedented pro
portions.
Our country has a well-defined pol
icy of reclamation established under
This policy
statutory authority,
should be continued.
For Relief of Agriculture.
No more important development has
taken place to the teat year than the
beginning of a restoration of agricul
ture to a prosperous condition.
The government cannot ancceaafully
Insure prosperity or fix prices by leg
islative flat. Every business bas its
risk and Its times of depression.
Tbe government has been constantly
increasing its effort* for the relief
and permanent establishment of agri
culture on s sound and equal basla
with other business.
* Every effort most be made, both by
government activity and by private
agencies, to restore and maintain agri
culture to a complete normal relation
■■
ship with other Industrie».
It la my opinion that the support of
agriculture is tbs chief problem to
consider to connection with this prop
erty.
I should favor a sale of this prop
'erty, or long-time lease.
\ The railways daring tbe last year
have made still further progress in
recuperation from the war, with large
gains in efficiency and ability expe
ditiously to handle tiie traffic of the
country.
In my message test year I empha
sized th* necessity for farther légis
lation with a view to expediting tbe
consolidation of our railways into
-*:^k
A.
larger systems.
Simplify Labor Ruto*.
Another matter before coagree» I»

be adopted which, while retaining the

During the test session of the con
gress legislation was introduced look
ing to the payment of the remaining
claims generally referred to as the
French spoliation claims
The United States ought to pay Its
debts. 1 recommend action by the
congress which will permit of the pay
ment of these remaining claims.
Wag* Earner AM*».
Two very important policies have
been adopted by this country which,
while extending their benefits also in
other directions, have been of the
utmost Importance to the wage earn
ers. One of these is the protective
tariff. The other Is a policy of more
recent origin and seeks to shield our
wage earners from the disastrous com
petition of a great influx of foreign
peoples
This has been done by the restric
tive Immigration law. Tbte saves the
American Job for the American work
men.
The merit system has long been rec
ognised as the correct baste for em
ployment in our civil service. 1 be
lieve that first, second god third-class
postmasters and without covering in
the present membership the flfld force
of prohibition enforcement should be
brought within the classified service
by statute law.
One way to save public money would
be to pass the pending bill for the re
organization of the various depart
ments
Army and Navy.
Little has developed in relation te
oar national defense which needs spe
cial attention. Progreas la constantly
being made in air navigation and re
quires encouragement and develop
ment. ~
Under the limitation of armaments
treaty a large saving in outlay and
* considerable decrease in mainte
nance of tbe navy hue been accom
plished. ~
We ahoald maintain the policy of
constantly working toward the full
treaty strength of the navy.
A special commission also to Inves
tigating the problem of petroleum oil

I believe thoroughly in tbe army and
navy, in adequate defense and prep
aration. But I am opposed to any
policy of competition In building and
