Erumper Wants School
Finance System Change

Havre. July 29,-Miss Mey Trump
er.. state superintendent of schools
addressed the assembly at the Hay
re regional normal school on finance
for maintenance of schools, which
comes from three sources. state
county and district.
She said the largest percentage
comes from the district but it should
come from the state and county.
AS school taxes are now based on
school census. which is not always
accurate, a. children attending pri-
vate schools are also included, Miss
Trumper explained. School taxes
should be founded upon actual at
tendance and the number of teach
ers employed in the district. she
declared, thereby dividing the mon
ey more evenly.
Miss Trumper is a member Of the
equalization board which has put
forth much effort to have an equal
ization fund set aside to aid fnan-
cially stricken school districts. This
fund is made up of taxes which
were formerly distributed in part to
all districts in county according
to the school census brt which will
now be set aside for school districts
which need financial aid. 1t is ex-
pected this will permit school for
children in these districts.
Miss Trumper met with several
superintendents from neiehb0rine
counties. She expressed her will
insness to and the counties.

Announcement Made
To NeWspapermen Was
Complete Surprise

Rapid City. Aug. 2,-On the
fourth anniversary of his becoming
president of the United States, Cal
vim Coolidge today issued a terse
statement declaring Il do not choose
to run for president IN 1928"
One year and seven months re-
main of the four-year term to which
he was elected in the fall of 1924
a little more than a year after he
took the oath of office to complete
the term of Warren G. Harding who
died four years oeo tonight in San
Francisco.
The statement comes as the first
rumblings of the 1923 campaign are
getting under way. 1t took by COM
plete surprise those close TO the
president.
Mr.. Coolidge with the trace of a
smile about his lips made the an
nouncement without comment
merely handing some folded slips
on which the message was type
written to a group of newspapermen
whom he had summoned earlier in
the day.
Newspapermen stopped to ask if
there was any comment and Mr..
Coolidge rep'iee. No." A dash for
telephone and telegraph wires was
begun by the newspapermen.
Besides the newspspermen there
were in the room at the time Sena-
tor Capper, house guest of the
president: Everett Sanders and Ed
ward I. Clark, his secretaries; Colo
mel Blanton Winship. bis military
aide. and DR. James F. Coupal, his
physician.
No word was spoken outside of
Mr.. Coolidge asking if everyone is
present and inquiry OF newspaper
men If there was ANYTHING more to
say.
1t is safe to say that the presi-
dent counselled with no one in pre-
pairing his startling announcement.
Those closest to him in his official
family had taken occossion on this
day-the fourth anniversary of Mr..
Coolidge taking the oath of office
TO express the private view that he
would not make any statement of
his plans for another term and
would accept the nomination if Civ
en- to him without expressing him.
self.
1t was pointed out later by these
same staunch supporters of the
president that the door to the nomi.
nation had not vet been closed by
the statement in the event OF his
selection by the convention.
