IN COLORADO RADIO ADDRESS
PRESIDENT PAYS FINE TRIBUTE
; TO STRENGTH OF STATEHOOD.
| S
PAUL SMITHS, N. Y., Aug. 3.—The
sovereignty of the states which go
to make up the nation, was held up
as a source of great strength to the
federal government by President
Coolidge today in an address by radio
to exercises at Denver celebrating the
semi-centennial of Colorado’s admis
sion to statehood.
Speaking into a telephone at his
vacation office, Mr. Coolidge had his
words carried by long distance wires
to Denver for broadcasting through‘
the ether, the address being the first_‘
of any kind he has made since he
came to the Adirondacks nearly fourl
weeks ago. .
Mr. Coolidge hailed Colorado as a
state that “always has been progress
ive”; declared that “she stands out
like a beacon in the history of woman
suffrage,” and praised “the majesty
of her scenery” and ‘“the wonderful
balm of her climate,” yet he asserted
her *™¢hief treasure st(tlie principle
of local self government.”
“This celebration is exceedingly ap
propriate at this time,” he added.
“The nation is inclined to disregard
altogether too much both the func
tions and the duties of the states.
They are much more than sub-divi
sions of the federal government,
They are also endowed with sover
eignty in their own right. Of course,
one of their chief glories, lies in the
fact that they are all partakers of
the American spirit, all a part of the
American nation, but a great deal of
the strength of the federal govern
ment lies in the fact that the states
have the power to function locally and
independently, subject only to the re
strictions which they themselves have
invoked by adopting the national con
stitution,
“This fifteenth anniversary is in
celebration of that principle. It was
fifty years ago that Colorado put off
the garb o a territory almost exclus
ively under the dominion of the na
itionul government and put on the
}ruhes of a sovereign American state.
The great progress that it hag made
’in these years has been in no small
part. due to the application of the
’primzipln of local gelf government, Of
all the wealth and eminence that this
state has achieved, this is its chief
treasure., It ought to be maintained
undiminished and guarded with jeal
ous care through all the years to
come,
