PRESIDENT BEGINS
WEEK OF HARD WORK
Tax Reduction Bill and Campaign
Problems in Pile on Execu-
tive's Desk.
RIVER CRUISE BENEFICIAL
Mrs. Coolidge Goes to Mercersburg,
Pa, for Sons Graduation.

When President Coolidge opened
mp his office for business today he
faced what many of those close to
him consider will be one of the hard
est and busiest weeks he has had
year ago.
Most important Of the problems be-
fore the Executive is the tax reduc-
tion bill, which is far removed from
the administrations tax reduction
plan, but which he must act upon one
way or another before midnight Fri
day next. Besides this he is facing a
piling-up of eleventh-hour legisla-
view toward an adjournment Satur-
day. The endeavor on the part of
leaders in the House and Senate to
end its session in time for the mem
bers to attend the. Cleveland conven-
ton will naturally call for an in
creased number of congressional call
ers and conferences at the White
House during the week.
Faces Campaign Problems.
The Presidents task this week, how
ever, is not going to end that easily.
He must make several important de-
cisionS relating to his campaign and
the fortunes of the party and he must
also confer with Secretary of State
Hughes regarding the nature of the
reply to the note from the Japanese
government protesting against the
immigration law excluding Japanese.
Mr.. Coolidge is physically very At
for the weeks rush. His week end
cruise on the presidential yacht May
hover proved not only enjoyable, but
furnished a rest and change Of air
that seem to have greatly benefited
the Executive. He was accompanies
