Prophecy Made 100 Years Ago Fulfilled
 At Plymouth Jubilee
IRepubIlcan A. P. Leased Wlre1


 PLYMOUTH, Mass, Dec. 21.-A prophecy made by Daniel Webster 100 years ago was fulfilled today when Governor Coolidge, sitting in the an- cient rush. -bottomed chair of the Pill grim governor, Carver, talked by tele- phone across the continent with a rep resentative of Governor Stephens of California. The incident was a fea- ture of the Pilgrim tercentenary cele- bration.
 Tn the speech of Webster delivered here on December %, 1920, at the ob- servance of the 200th anniversary of the Forefathers' landing, he pictured to the minds of his hearers at the as semblage that 100 years later again would honor the memory of the Pil- grims and survey the progress of the century,
 We would anticipate and partake the pleasure with which they will then recount the steps of New Englands advancement" he said. ''On the morn ing of that day although 1t will not disturb us in our repose. the voice of exclamation and gratitude commence ing on the rock of Plymouth shall be transmitted through millions of the sons of the Pilgrims until it loses it. self in the murmurs of the Pacific seas"
 The quotation from Webster was embodied in the address of Senator Lodge. the orator at today's exercises and the telephone call from Governor Coolidge to Governor Stephens office In Sacramento was timed to coincide with delivering of that portion of the senator's speech. The long distance connection was made at 1245, Senator Lodge and Governor Coolidge speak Ing into the telephone said
 T wish you to say to Governor stephens that Massachusetts and Plymouth Rock greet California and l the Golden Gate and that the sons of the Pilgrims according to the pro phesy send to you the voice that is to be lost In the roar of the Pacific. Considering all expenses, it costs an undergraduate at oxford at least $500 year to carry on his studies.

Legion Commander Says Disabled Men
 Must Be Assisted

PRESCOTT. Ariz., Dec. 21-DecIar- ing that in 1921 the American Legion's $ task should be to assist the disabled veteran, Edwin J. Winslett, national vice commander of the American Le- zion, tonight recommended in a tele- gram to r. w Galbraith. commander of the national organization. that the legion administration bring influence to bear to cause enlargement of Whipple Barracks, a public health service hos pital here. After two days of confer ences with patients and medical off cers, Vice Commander Winslett drafted a recommendation for an increase in the capacity of the institution from 500, as at present, to 1000, and the per- manent transfer to Whipple Barracks from the war department to the public health service. His visit here was in connection with nation wide tour of inspection of institutions caring for ex- service men.
 Winslett also declared that condi- tions throughout the nation among the invalided former service men were de- plorable and that lack of facilities for treatment was the reason why 30,00o veterans afflicted with tuberculosis were without disqualification. in addi- tion to 70,000 mental cases.
 He declared the object of the na- tional organization of the American legion was to bring conditions to the attention of the government and build up public opinion so as to force re- medal legislation. This would include q proposal to consolidate the war risk insurance bureau, the public health service and the federal board for vo- cational education under a cabinet min ister, probably known as the minister of public welfare.
 Tn connection with this project, Wins lett asserted, the legion is prepared to devote the major portion of it's activi- ties during the coming year.

 The witness said he was not pre- pared to say a sales tax would be a success. He said. however. at that he believed 1t would work successfully, but because it was in the nature of an Experiment. he would propose a low tax rate for the initial test. He sug- gested rate of Is of one per cent. estimating that snch levy would produce approximately S650 100000 a year. This yield. Mr. Kahn said, was based on the assumption that condi- tons would be normal when the tax Nould become effective.

 AIr. Kahn also proposed tax or IS per cent on net profits of corpora tons. tax which he said he was confident would produce at least ST. 100000. o00
 The tariff revision which he pro- posed the witness said, ought to add Approximately S350. 000,000 10 the i'm port revenues. making that source yield nearly 7000o,000 annually.
 Under the revised income sur tax schedule proposed, Mir.

 AIr. Kahn told the committee he saw no economic objection to a tax on un- distributed corporation profits.
