Harding Memorial
Plans For Upkeep
Compared With Others

Washington, ID. c., Feb. Slow
the Board of Trustees of the Hard
ing Memorial Association, headed by
Calvin Coolidge, has carefully plan
ned TO avoid any future appeals for
funds after the current campaign
was explained here today in a state
ment dealing with the cost and up
keen OF the memorials to Presidents
Grant, Garfield, Mckinley ana Roose-
Welt.
Probably Cne- fourth of the two
millions sought by the late Presi-
dents associate and friends will be
invested in Government bonds, the
interest of which will maintain in
perpctuity the mausoleum and shrine
at Marion, OHIO.
OF Grants Tomb the trustees OF
the Harding Memorial say: NO en-
dowment for upkeep was provided.
For several Years the tomb was
maintained by popular subscription.
After ten years the New York
Legislatu was asked to care FOL II.
In 1908. the Park Commissioners of
the City of New York were author
lied to appropriate for upkeep and
expenses the sum of $1,000. This
amount was sufficient Tor only a

Unless some further provision is
made maintenance fund campaign
will have to be started.
The statement continues: mo

tenance of the Garfield Memorial.
For many years it was necessary to
charge small entrance fee for the
purpose of paying current expenses.
annual cost of maintenance and
creation of 4 permanent fund for
maintenance. Recently this fund
reached such an amount as to per-
init the discontinuance of any fee.
The Memorial is now in charge of
the Lal;eview (Ohio) Cemetery AS
ISOLATION in a suburb of Cleveland.
In 1907 the Mckinley Memorial
vas dedicated at Canton. Ohio. Five
years later Myron T. Herrick. then
secretary of the Memorial Associa-
ton. voiced the wish to raise the
endowment of S6S.O00 to 100000 so
that no encroachment on the princi-
pal would be necessary. The addi-
tional endowment was raised in an
intensive campaign.
In October, 1919, the Roosevelt
Memorial Association collected ST.
100000. Until plans for the cree
ton of the Roosevelt Monument in
Washington are completed and it
IS known just how much is needed
no further effort will be made to IN
crease this fund. Since the assotia-
ton is really only. in it's pre-
liIninary stage there is no way 10
estimate upkeep, and so ii is i'm
possible to make any comparison be-
tween tho maintenance cost of the
Roosevelt Memorial and that of
ether existing memorials.
I'VE conclude. first. that the
amount of money raised for memoir
ializing other Presidents has been
greater in proportion, considering
the purchasing power of the dollar.

PARK PROPOSAL
GAINS FRIENDS
Committee Reporting to Lions
Club Sees Satisfactory
Progress Made

Reports were presented to the Ii
ons club, at noon luncheon today,
that progress was being made in the
effort to have Congress set aside the
pctrified forest and other famous
places Of the North Dakota Bad
Lands as Roosevelt National Park.
The report was made by the civic
committee composed Of o. A. Olson,
S. G. Severtson and Thomas : Hall.
Letters from North Dakota senat ors
and representatives were read
A letter from Congressman J. II.
Sinclair to Fred Peterson said in
part,
II am in receipt of yours of the
18th with which you enclose rcsolu-
tions passed by the Lions club in
favor of the bill to establish the
Roosevelt National Park at Mcdora.
/ have been trying for sometime to
have an inspection of the site made
by the National Park Service, as it
is necessary to get their approval
before the bill will be considered at
all by the Public Lands Committee.
However, during and since the war,
the funds for the Park Service have
been SO curtailed and the force re-
duced that they have been able only
to keep up the parks already estab
lished, and have not felt that they
could entertain any new proposals.
am going to make another effort in
the spring to see if the director or
his assistant will not visit North Da-
kota this summer with a view to rec
ommending the establishment of the
park, and | will see that the res lu-
tons are brought to Mr.. Mather's
attention.
Congressman o. y. Burtness said:
Il am very much interested in the
proposition. Last summer Mrs Burt
ness and | had the pleasure of visit
ing the tract in question, and Mr..
Olson, Of the Peaceful Valley Ranch,
took US through the portions where
the petrfied forests are found. You
may be assured that l will exert
every possible influence on behalf of
the bill
Senator +. +. Ladd said: II shall
be glad to support this measure"
Senator Lynn j. Frazier said: Il
assure you that agree fully with
what you have said in regard to
the proposed Roosevelt National
Park in the Bad Lands. / will be
glad to do everything | can to bring
about the passage of this measure.
A bill has been introduced in
Congress providing for national
park in the Bad Lands by Congress
man Sinclair, in whose district the
tract is located.
