governor of Massachusetts, he urged
the passage OF such law.
The record of the two great
parties, in state legislation for the
protection of womanhood shows
that the rule in the regularly
Democratic states is long hours,
while the rule in the normally
Republican states Is liberal hours
OF labor. 1t shows that twelve
states compel one days rest in
seven and that of these twelve,
eleven are normally Republican
states. 1t shows that of fifteen
states which have laws regulating
the work of women at night, four
teen are Republican. It shows that
laws for women, eleven
are Republican. 1t shows that only
six states in the Union do not pro-
vide mothers pensions and that
five of these are regularly Dem
ocratic.
Laws for safeguarding women
in industry are vital to the home
life of this country, yet no women,
even the poorest of women toilers,
place such laws first. Laws for
safeguarding children rank inf1n-
itely higher in the hearts Of Amer
lean women. And in such laws the
party has been q
pioneer. The first national con-
on child welfare was called
by President Roosevelt In 1909,
and acting upon the recommends
tions of that conference. the Re-
publican Congress under President
Tafts administration established
the Children's Bureau. The DEM
ocrats opposed its creation. Later
the Republicans in Congress saved
the Bureaus life by making a
fight for appropriations adequate
to keep 1t alive. The Republican
party was the pioneer in the work
FOR the enactment OF a federal
child labor law and it is now lead
ing the fight for the ratification OF
an amendment to the United States
Constitution which will give Con-
gress the power to Iegislate on
child labor.
President Coolidge has said.
The welfare Of the weakest and
the strongest are inseparable." The
party has led the fight
to make America safe for children.
It has led the fight to protect
SO that mothers may
be able to give the best of them-
selves to their children.

school examinations of which he
spoke. In the eyes of the boys
shone hope Of good home cookery
after months of absence. Recalling
the chef in the White House kitchen
| felt throb of pity for the expect
ant lads.
But my sympathy was wasted.
The main dish Of the dinner was a
thick, juicy beefsteak, perfectly
broiled and entirely surrounded by
French fried potatoes. And for
dessert we had custard pie-none Of
your thin, French pastry pies, but
one whose golden custard was near
ly two inches thick and smooth as
cream.
'All four Of the Coolidges dis
played frank interest in this pie,
not because they come from New
England, but because the White
House cook used the recipe supplied
by "Aurora,"s housekeeper f o r
Grandfather Coolidge on his Yer
mont farm.
1t is not yet as good as Aurora
makes, explained Mrs. Coolidge,
but each time it is better. We have
hopes
Then, with each member of the
family contributing an anecdote or
a scrap of description, l heard the
story of Aurora who after years Of
service on the Coolidge farm had
been persuaded by widower-broth-
er to join him ina distant town. He
was a busy physician and his home
needed a mistress.
''At the end of year Aurora an
nounced her desire to resume farm
life. On her arrival at the Plymouth
farm, she offered this simple ex-
planation.

in industry in this country to-day.
The majority of these women are
actual bread-winners. In a study
made of one factory town by the
Women's Bureau of the Depart
ment of Labor it was found that
72 per cent of the bread winning
women had children and that
three-fourths of these women had
children who were less than six
years old. A home study of 500
of these wage-earning mothers
showed that about one-f1fth were
toiling at night and looking after
their children during the day.
Studies of the Women's Bureau
have revealed that some types Of
married women in industry gain
far more than they lose by going
into industry while others, par
ticularly the night working mothers
and mothers of little children
whose tired mothers cannot give
them the proper care, lose i'm
measurably more.
The Republican party took this
vital fact into consideration in its
national platform. According to
this platform, there Is no success

conditions which will impair their

splendid unselfish offer is turned
down by our people, government Of
ficials will come to the conclusion we
are utterably unreasonable and un-
worthy of further effort on their part
to assist US.
We can't help but ask our folks
again: "Shall we pass up an offer of
government aid to the extent of from
100000 to $500,000 to be spent in the
county, for our own prosperity and
advancement, or should we cut off
our own noses to assist in a small
batch of political spite work ?" 1t
isn't good citizenship, good politics or
good finance.
Superintendent Eakin in his presen-
tation of the proposition to the board
and others present helped in clearing
up many points which have evidently
not been clear to some.
The sale of the trail will not affect
the rights of Ne county, except as to
charging of tolls. The trail will be
free.
1t will not affect taxation; the
county will go ahead as usual in en-
forcing the laws and collecting taxes.
That the Bright Angel trail netted
she county for the past four years an
average of S2500.
The Grand Canyon national park
charges no fees to tourists.
Superintendent Eakin made it plain
chat the government had no wish or
thought of holding a club over Coco
nino county.
In this article you have the facts.
Summarized, the proposition means:
The government offers to build and
maintain an improved highway from
the National Old Trails to Grand Can
yon national park-the route to be
left to the selection of the people of
this county. The road will cost the
government it would the county if
we had to build it 0urselyes-at least
$50O,O0O to build and thereafter ap-
proximately $4,000 a year to main
tain.
In exchange we trade trail that
nets us $500 year.
This $500 year is less than one
seventh of what this county has spent
during this current year on roads to
Grand Canyon. And what have we?
When you vote on November A, vote
YES on proposition No. 30S and in so
doing get nearly 20 miles of govern
ment built and maintained road and
cut from our taxes the cost of build
ing such a road and an annual ex-
penditure of $4,000 a year to main
tain it.
Vote for the best interests of this
county and not to crafty the petty
spite of United States senator!
Vote YES by making a X in the
square after the word YES on prOpO-
sition 308 at the bottom of the eIec-
tiOn ballot.

By
MRS. ALVIN T. HERT,
Vice Chairman. Republican National
Committee


"The most beautiful house in
America is the White House" This
was the comment of woman who
recently paid her first visit to the
house in which the Chief Executive
of this country lives-and it was a
real visit.
When the messenger boy brought
her an invitation to dine informally
with President and Mrs. Coolidge,
there came to her mind the same
picture which would come to any
woman who had read stories of Off
cial life in Washington. The bril-
liant state dining room, glittering
chandeliers, military aides in smart
uniforms, the trappery OF the White
House, the Marine band playing in
the distance
But let her tell her own story.
Simplicity Everywhere
Tremendously thrilled, took the
arm which President Coolidge Of
fered, with the quick, angular move
mcnt SO characteristic of the man.
We entered the quiet, softly lighted
dining room. The table was perfect
ly set with linen and crystal, set off
with low bowls OF late spring
flowers, hut it was simple and uniin-
posing. A Elack-oated butler was
in ATTENDANCE, but a son of the house
drew OUT Els mothers chair.
Six of us sat down4together, four
of the name of Coolidge. And in
stead OF. martial strains, floating in
from the portico, the first sound to
meet my ear was the quiet voice of
the nations Chief Executive: Mr..
S., will you say graeea'
"The two Coolidge boys had just

pallor of his approaching illness. but

each year. The increase in automobile
traffic which is bound to follow the
construction Of the approach road will
be of immense benefit and in time
will make Williams and Flagstaff two
of the best tourist towns in America.
The sale of the Bright Angel trail
can In no manner change the right of
Coconino county to tax private prop
erty within the national park, nor
affect in any way the political status
Of citizens residing within its limits.
Neither will it in any way add to the
right of the federal government to
administer the park in accordance with
existing law. The legal rights of
both the county and the United States
will remain exactly as they now are
and cannot be affected by the trans
fer of title to this piece of property
which the county now owns and which
the United States desires to acquire.
"The sale of the Bright Angel trail
means the immediate construction of
the approach road to the national
park. Failure to sell it means the in
definite postponement Of this much
needed highway improvement. | am
for prompt action and therefor favor
the sale of the trail. Congress has
done its part and stands ready to
carry, out the federal governments
share of the bargain. | hope that the
people of Coconino county will con-
clude that the trade is so much to
their advantage that they will approve
of the transfer"
Finally, here is the specific propo-
sition made by the government to this
county-an exact copy of such propo-
sition, as it was made by Superin-
tendent Eakin of Grand Canyon ma
tional park with full authority Of the
U. S. department of the interior on
August this year:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
NATIONAL PARK SERVICE
Grand Canyon National Park
Grand Canyon, Arizona
August 1, 1924.
Board of Supervisors,
Coconino County,
Flagstaff, Arizona.
Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the following
item contained in the Interior Depart
nent appropriation bill for the cur
rent fiscal year, approved June 5th,
1924 Public No. 1897:
"For the construction Of trails with
in the Grand Canyon National Park,
100000, to be Immediately available
and to remain available until expend-
ed: PROVIDED, that said sum may
be used by the Secretary of the Inter
ior for the purchase from the County
Of Coconino, Arizona, of the Bright
Angel toll road and trail within said
park under such terms and conditions
as he may deem proper and the Sec
retary of the Interior is authorized
to construct an approach road from
the National Old Trails Highway to
the south boundary of said park"

Yours very truly,
j. r. EAKIN
Superintendent

1t will be noted that the first $780,
600 will be placed in the county treas
ury to be checked out as the new road
is built, that even before this amount
can be spent in construction work and
not later than July /, 1925, a second
100000 will be made available for
this road.
Then the department of the interior
pledges itself to make every possible
effort to secure an annual appropria-
tion of at least 100000 until this
road is completed. This would amount
to between 100000 and $500,0O0. The
government has gone on record with
such appropriations for the Trans
Mountain road at Glacier national
park and the interior department has
every reason to believe that congress-
viii approve the appropriations SUBJ
mitted by the department for this
highway.
1t is not difficult to believe, if thd
The Coconino sun., 1924-10-24

said park. Naturally, the Depart
ment of the Interior cannot guaran-
tee exactly what action Congress will
take, but it is significant that despite
the rigid economy in the past few
years, Congress had made four an
nual appropriations for the construc-
tion of the Trans Mountain Road in
Glacier National Park Evidently,
the first annual appropriation of
100000, for this purpose committed
Congress to its completion, and three
additional annual appropriations have
been made for that purpose.
(5) In the event the Bright Angel
Trail is sold to the Government and
the purchase price of 100000 is
used for commencing the construction
of an approach road from the Nation
al Old Trails Highway, the Depart
ment of the Interior pledges itself to
make every possible effort to secure
at least 100000 each year thereafter,
until the highway from the National
Old Trails Highway to Grand Canyon
National Park is complete.
(6) In the wording Of the appropria-
noted that no specific location for the
approach road to Grand Canyon Nat
ional Park has been mentioned. In
other words, it does not state at what
point it shall leave the National Ole
Trails Highway. If title to the
Bright Angel Trail passes to the
United States, thus making it possible
to immediately commence conSt11lc-
ton of an approach road, the Depart
ment of the Interior pledges itself to
construct this approch road from any
point on the National Old Trails High
way most suitable TO the County.
(D In the event the Government
purchases the Bright Angel Trail and
the purchase price is used for the
commencing of an approach road to
Grand Canyon National Park, the De-
partment of the Interior will main
tain this approach road.
Yours very truly.
