Coolidge Is Confident Nation Faces
Another Twelve Months of Un
broken Prosperity.
By Robert Fuller
Special to The Chronicle.
President Coolidge believes 1927
will be a banner year and that busi
ness of the country is fundamentally
sound.
His information, coming from gov
ernment sources, leads him to see con
tinued prosperity durnig the coming
year. All the signs, as he reads them,
are favorable.
Among the things leading him to
this viewpoint are the increase in em
ployment recently reported in New
York, Pennsylvania and some of the
I industrial states, the plentiful supply
of capital for manufacturing enter
prises and the low surplus of manufac
tured articles.
At present prosperity exists in all
parts of the country except the wheat(f
and cotton sections, the President
finds, and he believes the South will
be able to emerge from the present
students. Dog Tax $1.25, which must
be paid not later than January 31,
1927.
Proper attention wiU be given those
who wish to pay their taxes through
the mail by check, money order, etc.
The tax levy is as follows:

' Other good news for all Americans
is this: “The lake cities will be con
nected with the Mississippi, the Gulf
and all ports of the world by navigable
waterways through legislation that
should pass this winter. And a canal
from the lakes to the Atlantic also
seems probable if an agreement can
be made with Canada for joint use of
ithe St. Lawrence.
1926 were never realized and points
to this as proof that predictions do
not always materialize. But the signs,
as he sees them, point to continued
good business in 1927.

seems to be arranging an agreement

of the power and irrigation would be
