THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

rs the reduction of inheritance taxes,
paid by the same, receive particular
praise. There is going TO be lot of
stump-speaking about this tax measure
if it gets by the senate or If is does not
Is il the rich mans bill or the poor
mans? Coolidge seems TO anticipate the
suspicion that Mr. Mellon was thinking
chiefly of his own class when he pre-
pared his schedules for. speaking of the
tax bill. he says:
"All these economic results are being
sought not to benefit the rich, but TO
benefit the people. They are for the pur-
pose of encouraging industry in order
that employment may be plentiful. They
seek to make business good in order that
wages may be good
Which brings us TO the real Coolidge
philosophy of life and government, one
from which he does not depart no mat
ter how carefully you examine this speech
or his record as public official This
philosophy is part of his being and he
adheres 10 it. He has uttered IL in the
paragraph just quoted, but not so clearly
as in the aforementioned speech made
to the Massachusetts senate, January z,
1914 This is it,
'As the little red schoolhouse is builded
in the college it may be that the fostering
and protection of large aggregations of
wealth are the only foundation on which
to build the prosperity of the whole
people"
Perhaps this newspaper seems, to some
readers. unduly inclined to criticise the
present occupant of the White House,
But, actually, there is no purpose to with
hold from him credit for any accomplish
ments that serve the people With his
fundamental theory, which directs most
of his policies, on the other hand, ii Is
impossible 70 agree We simply cannot
accept the idea that the only way to pro-
vide prosperity for all the people is to
make limited number very rich and
then trust to luck and their good nature
to see that some of their riches seep down
to the rest.

TRY THIS, INSTEAD

A Nd now they're trying at Olympia to
n stop dentists from advertising.
The dentists might put the shoe on the
other foot, and urge adoption of bill to
make the senate and house advertise
what goes on in some of their back-door
sessions Twoud be mighty interesting,
no doubt.
The old DOGGY about advertising not
being ethical has blown up. Everybody
advertises these days. Competition
makes it necessary.

"TN our country the people are SOW
L ereign and independent and must
accept the resulting responsibilities. Ii
is their duty 10 support themselves and
support the government"
That is offered by President Coolidge
as the keynote of his address To congress.
Glowing with the expressed sentiment,
he proceeds 10 apply it pretty literally to
the farmers.
at has appeared from all the inveSti-
cations that have been able to make"
he says, that the farmers as a whole are
determined TO maintain the independence
of their business. They do not wish to
have meddlng on the part of the govern
ment or TO be placed under the inevitable
restrictions involved, in any system OF
direct or indirect price-fiNing, which
would permit the government 10 operate
in the agricultural markets,
So much for the farmers, who in many
sections of the country are having one
heck of a time keeping their heads above
water and in some sections are going
bankrupt too rapidly TO be counted.

siSts that Muscle Shoals be sold TO the

not, of course, expected TO pay the full
value of that great government project,

And the merchant marine. He reiter-
ates his belief that the governments
ships should be sold The price obtain

build ships that the private shipping in
terests which buy will receive thereby

The tariff. He is silent this time The
tariff is pretty satisfactory to the manu-
featuring interests benefiting under II

lower the protective wall.
Finally, taxes. He praises the tax bill

be that a few tears may be spilled

Fish and Game
Association Met
on Wednesday 18th

The members Of the Carbon Coun-
y Fish and Game Protective Associa-
ion met in the City Hall on Wednes-
lay evening Of last week for the
purpose of discussing several matters
Connected with game legislation that
will be proposed to the 18th Legis-
allure. Kleber Hadsell left Rawlins
or Cheyenne on Thursday last in the
egislation which will be recommend
ed to the Legislature.
At the meeting 10 deputy game
wardens were chosen and the names
Of these men were recommended to
State Game Warden Frank Smith. 1t
IS expected that the men chosen will
1e appointed in the very near future.
Also within a short time ten more
county deputy game wardens will be
chosen and recommended for appoint
ment. The association is bending all
Of its efforts to have the game laws
of the county enforced and to do this
it needs the cooperation of all of the
citizens and especially all the sports
men.
In the matter of the "Bookhart
Game Refuge Bill' the following in
formation will be Of interest as we'll
as the resolutions passed by the Car
bon County Fish and Game Pro-
tective Association:
1t having been brought to the at
tention of the Carbon County Fish
and Game Protective Association,
that a so-called THE Bookhart Game
Refuge Bill' is to be presented to
Congress and to our Legislature for
action and whereas it is the intent
of this bill to restrict Game Hunt
ing and Shooting to certain restrict
ed areas or districts. said areas or
districts to be under Federal selec-
ton, supervision and control. and
whereas we believe all laws govern
ing the protection and propagation OF
game within the boundaries of the
State of Wyoming should be under
the control and supervision Of the
Wyoming State Legislature.
Now therefore, be 1t resolved, that
we THE Carbon County Fish and
Game Protective Association" In reg
ular meeting assembled this 14th day
Of January, 1925, go on record as
being opposed to any Measure or Bill
taking the control of said Game Pro-
lection and Propagation out Of the
hands of the said Wyoming State
Legislature.
Be it further resolved, that the
be instructed to furnish a
copy of this resolution to all Il
State Representatives and to any
other parties. to whom in his dis
erection 1t may seem advisable.
