President Coolidge urges sane Congress in annual message
President Coolidge asked Congress to avoid spending sprees and stay within the budget to cut taxes next year. He proposed abolishing publicity in tax law, modestly reducing top brackets, and delaying major tax revision until the next Congress. He endorsed strong military strength, outside participation in the world court with limits, and various administrative reforms. The agricultural outlook improved as production fell and consumption rose, with a tax and policy program to follow.
