An. d- ings was the placing of a number of mportant documents, including the iddresses of presentation and accept nce, in a receptacle formed in the onyx foundation, to form a permanent sealed record of the event President Coolidge drew a line of ‘lose comparison between the strug- gles for emancipation of the United tes and her neighbors in South America. It was in the great scheme of things, he said, that the colonies set up in North and South Americ were to establish themselves as in- dependent states, and he announced ,his pride in the fact that the Ameri- can colonies were the first to initiate the movement for independence in the New World. It was not among the human po: bilities,” the President asserted, that the communities of these new found continents should permanent be maintained as dependencics of the mother states of Burope. We can see now that their destiny to establish themselves independent: just as certain as that a patriarchal system government must ultimately be placed by more progressive Ambas- dent Cool d by Right npares Two Leaders. Expressing appreciation of the com- pliment paid the American patriot, Henry Clay, by the Argentine Am: bassador, in recounting Clay’s defense | of the Argentine move for independ ence, President Coolidge took the op- portunity of pointing out that Amba | sador Pueyrredon is himself the gran. | nephew of “the wise and courageous | statesman, Don Juan Martin Pueyrre- don, whom Mr, Clay so appropriately eulogized.” i Pointing to the futility, on such an occasion, of attempting to recount the services, in arms and in counsel, of | such a man as Gen. San Martin, the President confined himself to a com. | parison of the careers of George | Washington and the Argentine leader in his count fight for independ- ! ence. “It is not my purpose today,” Mr. | Coolidge stated, “to attempt to analyze the military genius of San Martin. ! For that I refer you to the writings of men truly capable of giving it an | adequate estimate. He was, like our | Washington, one of those seemingly inspired military chieftains who are | capable of thinking at the same mo- | ment in terms of war and of politic: of the battlefield and the great human | forum.™ 1 | Mr. Coolidge remarked that the ' world has learned by experience that the Americas are to be carefully reck- | oned with in any movement of inter- national importance. Recalling “that the sophisticated statesmanship of an older world entertained profound mis- | | givings as to the ultimate fate of i these America republics,” he said the | | world has had its test, and the trial | “has quite definitely answered the | questionings of pessimism.” 1 | " “This trlal” he added, | vided us with much specific tion by which we may informa- judge for nts have the tradition that sev- : Ourselves whether the institutions of | pas acted on n New World or of a republ & N ed on Page 2, Column 4.

Extension of the jurisdiction of the Board of Tax Appeals to include all issues arising from administration of Il revenue laws now and heretofore in effect was proposed in a petition prepared for presentation today by Edward E.

Representative Bacharach, Repub- lican, New Jersey, asked Mr. Klein's view of the feasibility of eliminating the surtax rates and having instead a graduated scale of normal rates. Tt would make no great dif- ference In the rate schedules, he sald, except to replace the present two systems of normal and surtaxes with one. Other committee members agreed it might simplify the income tax computations.

HESSE TIGHTENS RUM BOND RULES vears -Would Cut Forfeitures in Lig- uor Arrest Cases With Heavy Bail. An order fixing more stringent rules for the release of persons ar sted for vielations of the prohibition law and for certain other serfous of: fenses was Issued to police stations today by Maj. Edwin L. Hesse, super intendent, The purpose of the order, Hesse declared. is to require collateral or bond in such amounts as will re- duce the number of instances in which those arrested forfeit. The effect of the rules, he believed, will be to get more of these cases into court The superintendent explained that even if a persen forfeits collateral at the present time the court can issue an attachment and have the de- fendant brought in, ing up on the amounts of col eral and bond to be accepted will tend to eliminate the necessity for obtaining attachments. Maj. Maj. He: Membe lice for cognizance of and carry the following order: (1) For the release of all persons arrested and charged with operating motor vehicle while under the in- fluence of intoxicants or drugs, leav- ing the scene of an accident where persons have been injured, and third, offenses of violation of the speed law, you will require a bond. (2) Those charzed with selling liquor, manufacturing liquor for sale, illegal possession of liquor, trans- porting the same illegally, and drink- ing in public, shall be required to deposit_collateral equal to the max- imum fine for the several offenses.

At the present time there is no gen- eral rule which all stations follow in such cases.
