What Could Be Easier?

President Coolidge insists he will seek the cooperation
of all republican leaders. He viii invite all the bloc lead
ers to the White House and with their assistance prepare
a program for congress.
1t is an easy task Mr.. Coolidge should be successful
Thru his effort he may readily gain the support of the
republicans of all shades and very easily become the
next republican candidate.
For instance the following recipe could not but win the
support Of the progressives:
Call Senator La Toilette and him the president
will demand investigation of the sugar gouge and the
punishment of those who robbed Of $250000
900 thru excessive prices.
Assure the progressves the president will force In
vesgation of the Teapot Dome scandal and demand the
Indictment of any who may be guilty Of fraud in
connection with the deal in oil leases.
Assure the progressives the profiteers tariff bill will
be repealed and honest tariff substituted
Assure the progressves that the income tax will be
amended to halt the taxdodgers that the surtax rates
will be increased for the great incomes and the
lessened for the small incomes and that heavy inherit
ance tax will be levied
Assure the progressves that the EschCunmns trans
portaton act will be repealed that effort will be made
Immediately to fix what prudently and honestly in
vested" in the railroads and that railroad rates will be
lowered to give the roads fair return this investment
With these promises made and faithfully complied with

progressives.
