President Coolridge/now feels that he car? initiate policies of his own, and will take command of his party, which requires leadership j and .discipline in order to end the bloc system, which threatens to obtain control of the national Legislature. i "President Cohlidge will give his chief attention to the three problems of reduction of taxation, modification of • the, tariff in certain respects where glaring inequalities exist, end putting the farmer upon an equality with ’ other producers. Tt is expected that the restrictive immigration law will continue for some years, .although a conmiission will he appointed to study the. question iscientifically.
