-, *••. f IT 600 U 06 E 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*.

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.
