Preparations for the Nile Journey
Cunninghame was not going to
accompany Roosevelt on this trip
into the Uasin Guisho country.
things had not been working out
smoothly in connection with the
Nile section OF the great journey
through Africa. and there was still
very great deal to be arranged.
So 1t had been decided that Gun.
ninghame should return to Nairobi.
after the expeditions departure
from Londiani and take with him
the ColoEers horse, zebra shape, "
which had gone very sick and could
scarcely walk. He was then to pro-
coed to Entebbe and Kampala in
Uganda to complete the plans for
the trip into the Congo and down
the Nile.
Roosevelt was due back in Lon
DIAM In about five weeks time from
the Uasin Guisho. and would then
make a few special hunting trips to
complete his East African collection,
and start for Uganda at the end of
December.
Meanwhile / had written to my
employers in New York to explain
the details of the plans for Roose-
velt's hunting trip down the Nile,
and to ask II they desired me to
follow him.
In reply they had written me
that
when the question of following
Mr.. Roosevelt from Uganda on the
long trek northward to Khartoum
came up for consideration, it was
realized that while the trip probably
would be made in safety by the mem
bers of the Roosevelt party, still
there was always the danger of a
grave accident or an encounter with
some wild beast, the result of which
might be fatal to the hunter instead
of to the hunted.
consequently, 1t has been decided
to cover the Roosevelt party for
something like 1900 miles through
the African wilderness. This is prob
ably the first time such an expedi-
ton ever has been undertaken for
the purpose of what might be called

family originally came from Eng
land. In that country one finds the
name mentioned from time to time
since 1895.
It seems one John Coolidge. born
in oxford, England, in 1904, came to
America with his wife and small son
about the year 1880. He settled in
WATERFOWL. Mass.
The WATERFOWL records show him
as first mentioned in 1886 The town
| granted him land and he was ad-
mitted as a freeman. Not satisfied,
he bought more property. His name
| appears rather frequently after that
and shows he was elected a select
man or councilman many times.
| His descendants appear frequently.
! One was a farmer Another tried his
hand at carpentry. Others were sol
/ diers. one serving, il is believed, in
| King Philips War. At least one
/ 6onned the vestments of his church.
The grandfather of the President
was named Calvin Galusha Coolidge.
There is also mention Of a Carlos
/ Coolidge, who was Governor of Yer
mont in 1S49.
The Presidents immediate forbears
were decidedly inconspicuous. as
measured in present day terms
They were a quiet lot. They were
/ for the most part storekeepers or
farmers. In fact, there appears to
be a distinct gap socially between
several groups of the family. One
branch became rather wealthy and
| some. say looked down" on the
other branch. It is probable, too,
that the less wealthy group, from
which the President came, was just
as Independent as the other.
Grandfather Was Farmer
Galusha, the grandfather, was a
farmer. He lived literally from crop
4 to crop His son, the Presidents IA
ther. became a storekeeper. but at
various times served as deputy sher-
/ if, constable and State assessor. He
also served in the Legislature. both
branches, and takes his title of
Colonel by virtue Of being on the
staff Of Governor W. W. Suckney.
Coolidge's mother, who died when
he was a boy Of u, was Victoria
Joseph Moor. His father married
again, the second time to Carrie G.
Brown. who died in 1920.
In his boyhood, Coolidge was al
ways girl-shy. He never danced, It
is related and seldom talked. They
tell a story about his son John. His
mother wanted him to go to dancing
school.
Did father go to dancing school
when he was young?" asked the lad.
No" replied his mother, but that
is no reason why you shouldn't"
We'll" John said, father seemed
to do pretty well without learning to
dance, so I guess 1 won't learn,
either"
The first touch Of sadness, so often
associated with his serious face with
dropping mouth, crept into the life
of the President just after his grad
uation from the academy. He had
delivered the class Grafton and was
homeward bound with happy
thoughts. He was met with the
| news that his beautiful sister, Abb
gail, had died. The father had been
devoted to the girl, who gave much
promise. She taught school when
but u years of age.
Now that she had been taken
away, Colonel Coolidge seemed to
draw closer to Calvin. He had dedi-
Gated his life to the boy. for in him
rested all the hopes of the Coolidge
family.

TAXATION

In a recent issue of The Cheyenne Tribune Leader was
published an account OF a meeting OF the Young Mems Liter
airy Club of Cheyenne at which Gov. VIM. B.. Ross was the
principal speaker.
Governor Ross took as his subject ''Taxation'' and in
dealing with this question His Excellency advanced his usual
arguments favoring the payment of all taxes by those non
residents of Wyoming who may be doing business in the state.
Governor Ross has always shown woeful lack of knowledge
regarding taxation matters and has taken for his chief hobby
the compelling of outside companies to pay an unjust amount
of the taxes of Wyoming.
Wyoming nee1s and must have outside capital in order to
dents of the state to eXpend the money necessary to even
scratch our natural resources the states development would
be retarded. Capital will not come into Wyoming if our tax
alton laws are such that they are compelled to pay all taxes
necessary to keep the government machinery running.
Under the present taxation laws all taxes are uniform
and equal. No class Of tax payers is compelled to pay a higher
levy than another. Oil companies under our present laws
are paying their just share of taxes and in additional are pay
ing millions OF dollars in royalty which goes to the support
of the schools, to the construction and maintenance of high
ways and to the State University.
Even while Governor Ross is complaining that our natural
resources are being drained the geologist department of the
state government is issuing bulletins showing that Wyoming's
development has scarcely started.
That Wyoming needs and must have outside capital in
order to develop our natural resources is shown right now in
She Centennial country-a country rich in natural resources.
However, all admit that an immense amount of money must be
expended there before results can be accomplished.
Governor Ross would be doing much for the state of which
he is governor if he would encourage development Of our re-
sources instead of harping upon special taxation which would
make non-residents pay considerably more taxes than resi-
dents.
It would indeed be an ideal condition if the residents of
Wyoming could escape tax free by making non residents pay
all our taxes. However, the main reason that this course isn't
possible is because confiscatory taxes against outside capital
would keep such capital from Wyoming and cause it to go to
other states where fair treatment was accorded to all.
The Republican hoped that the reception given to the Gov
ernor's taxation views at the Democratic State Convention
held at Casper recently would have caused him to be more fair
in his views. The leaders of the Democratic party of Wyoming
in meeting at Casper realized the danger of Governor Ross
taxation views and absolutely refused to endorse them. De-
spite this rundown by his own party the governor is still in
slshng that his views should prevail.

AND GIRLS
CLUB CHAMPIONS
GUEST OF UNI,

The University OF Wyoming is en-
pertaining Al champions in Boys and
Girls Club Work representing 18
Wyoming counties during the week
of June 1929. These champions
have won a trip to the University by
excelling in Pig clubs, Sheep clubs,
Calf, Poultry, Potato, Corn Cloth
ing, Canning and Bread clubs. Each
champion has won the trip by doing
the best work in the county in the
club in which he is enrolled. The
champions will arrive in Laramie on
Sunday, June % and from then on
until the following Saturday they
will have a round of work and play.
These boys and girls will visit every
department in the University and
hear the work explained by the heads
of the departments. DIR. Grace Ray
mond Hebard will spend an hour
with the club members telling them
about the early history of Wyoming
in the days of Jim Bridger. The
Physical Education Department will
conduct Setting up" exercises every
morning at seven O'Clock. DR.. Vass

growing better potatoes. Professor
Hultz and d. j. Robertson will show
the boys something about stock

two hours in the Engineering Depart
ment where they will see a demon
stration of the machinery in motion.

according to the Superintendent of Schools. and at that time
added facilities will be needed. The Board of Education has
recently acquired one-half block at the northwest corner of
Second and Buffalo and unless plans are changed will place
the $25o,00o High School building there. But this building
in seven years will be impossible. 1t is not likely that adj
5acenmt, ground ground can be acquired reasonably.
The Board OF Education is the servant of the people, and
is constantly giving evidence of its sincere desire to serve that
people well; but in expressing its wishes in the matter of a
location for this most important school the public has been
woefully remiss. Within the luncheon clubs, however, action
has been taken, and a plan will soon be submitted to the school
citizen in school district number 3, including the Board of Edu-
cation itself.
This plan would combine the city and county administra-
tive and judicial branches in one building worthy of its tenants
and located upon the City Hall property at Buffalo and Fifth;
release the court house block by such combination for use of
the school district in its present building program; and dis
pose of the half-block now owned by the district and held pend
ing a better plan. Advantages of such a stroke are at once
apparent; for by it RawLins and the community included in
district No. 3 will be forced, over a period of seven to ten years
to build but two public buildings rather than four, and a very
desirable property, namely the court house block, will be re
leased. The present City Hall, while adequate when built, is
unworthy today. And the court house, serving
nobly through forty two years, is in like state. Both city and
county, then, need more efficient, more appropriate, and GER
tainly more economical houses for administration. If a High
School is built upon a small plot prohibiting expansion in
seven years another school building will have to be erected
at that time: This means four public buildings at usual cost
Under the program to be submitted to the Board of Edu
cation by the luncheon club there will be one city-county build
ing, and one High School building readily extended to meet
school growth. 1t must not be thought that this program is
the child of dreamers and a scheme impossible of result. The
plan calls for no dealing between parties, each seeking adj.
vantage and therefore boosting price; for city, county. and
school district are one and the same, counting the same persons
on their rolls. Rawins offers its site, thus greatly reducing
its share of the citycounty building cost; Carbon county APP
plies the funds derived from sale of it's court house block upon
its share of this building; and the school district merely buys
an excellent High School site from itself under another name
alton.
Rawins, Carbon County, and School District No. 3 can
thus have two public buildings WORTHY of these entities which
will do effectively and economically the work of four, and the
value of the court house block will be split three ways in the

HOT IRONS AND EDUCATION

Half measures in the quest of water made Rawlins taxes
an embarrassing burden in the past; will half measures in quest
of adequate educational facilities increase that burden in like
measure and manner?
Last Monday night a paltry handful of qualified voters
placed $275,000OO. in the hands of six men in as many minutes
and a High School building will be erected to care for growth
in school population during the last few years. This building
will relieve congestion in Rawlins schools for seven years only,

MOTHERING THAT PAYS
DIVIDENDS

The profession of motherhood is not
supposed TO be a well-paid occupation.
And foster mothers-who do for pay
what real mothers gladly give from
affection-are generally not highly
regarded. Yet out in Phoenix lives a
woman who mothers all the children
In the state of Arizona, gets paid for
doing 1t, and has been honored by
nearly every organization In the state.
When Mrs. H. A. Guild was a girl
she loved her younger brothers and
sisters. When she grew up and
taught, she loved her pupils-even in
the huge machinelike system of the
Chicago schools. And when marriage
brought no babies of her own, she be-
gan to love and foster public move
ments for lettering humanity. Out of
this last love grew her present moth
ering job. She was the first woman
In Arizona to be appointed head Of
department Of state. Secretary Of the
Arizona child welfare board, she now
has supervision of all child welfare
measures, working through IS county
child welfare board members. And In
addition she is a foster mother to a
child for every day in the year, for
there are S65 orphan children who
live In foster homes or with widowed
mothers, as wards of Arizona

been turned from a sagebrush and cac-
tus desert TO a producer of roses and
"long staple" cotton. The ranch own
er organized the rural women of the
state and brought them into assocla.
ton with their city sisters through
district declarations. Naturally the
Federation of Womens Clubs made
her state president.
Then Mrs. Guild decided that wom-
en- who had the vote ought to use 1t
politically. Not unnaturally she was
the first Arizona woman sent to the
national Republican convention in
1920. In 1922 she was nominated for
representative TO congress, and was
defeated only because her whole party
ticket was showed under.
Knowing big city, small city, town
and country intimately, Mrs. Guild
declares that If a girl has ability
