Coolidge Advises Sensible Economy Before Congress
Message
Continuation of Presen Policies Recommended in President's
--protection under the laws of the land. The President's farm relief and Muscle Shoals proposals were chiefly for members of the old farm bloc and by the insurgents. The world court statement met approval from Democrats and some Republicans. It found that the shoals group," which is fighting the court.
Washington, Dec. 8. —The nation is reaching into an era of great prosperity and needs only extension of present policies, rather than any experiments with united congress, President Obama's congress today in his annual message.
Preserve economy, he said, but do not cut out the bond. Enact a business-like tax bill, but keep reduction within the bounds of propriety. Join the world court and promote American good will abroad. Expand the air demand for workers to meet the present system. Help the farmer, but do not try to fix his prices.
Present prosperous economic conditions will continue only so long as they are properly treated, he warned. "The age of perfection is still somewhat in the distant future, but it is more in danger of being retarded by mistaken government activity than it is in respect of legislation." Mr. Coady wrote.
"We are by far the most likely to accomplish permanent good if we proceed with moderation."
In crisp and emphatic phrases, the President took up 26 questions confronting his administration and analogy with foreign words. It was by far the longest message of a President to Congress in recent years and it dealt more with details than occupants of the White House to do since the time of Cleveland.
Departing from the custom established by President Wilson of delivering annual messages in person, Mr. Coolidge sent the document to Capitol Hill by the White House messenger and it was read by the clerks of the House and Senate, to each body sitting separately.
Appointe a joint House and Senate committee to receive bids for sale of the government's big power project at Muscle Shoals.
Briefly here is what he would have the new congress do:
Give authority to the President to act forcefully in a coal strike emergency or fuel shortage.
Ascertam if the present restrictive immigration law is unfairly preventing relatives of American citizens from entering this country.
Authorize consolidation of railroads under supervision of the Interstate commerce commission.
Grant authority for mobilization of persons and materials for national defense in times of peril.
Ratify the recent debt settlements with Belgium, Italy, Czecho-Slovakia, Latvia and Estonia.
Refrain from acting in the allen property dispute until present negotiations of interested parties are concluded.
Seek help from the states to en courage irrigation development.
Improve and complete the veterans hospitalization program.
Shear the Shipping board of its assumed authority and let one executive in the Emergency Fleet corporation serve as commander marine like a business organization.
Assist in waterway developments. Seek aid from states in prohibition enforcement.
Investigate thoroughly whether vast government expenditures in Alaska are justified.
Extend facilities for super-power systems.
Assertify if the governor general of tha Philippines should not be granted more authority.
Enact a motherhood aid law for the District of Columbia.
Make Federal Trade Commission reforms permanent.
Perfect the civil service law,reservedly.
Adopt the old plan for reorganization of government departments.
Give the Narozo his legal right of
Give the Negro his legal right of protection under the law, of the land.
The most sarcastic criticism of the message was made by Senator Jim Reed, Democrat of Missouri, who said: "It is probably the most misleading and illogical statement over issued by the White house."

"In 1926 we Republicans have everything to lose and nothing to gain We must therefore fight desperately for the nomination, which is the struggle for the Republican senatorial nomination the voters should make certain the man they back in the primary is a Coolidge Republic." Those are the words of Senator Pop
