. "The city council has called for
a vote on July 8. to determine the
will of the people regarding the
construction of this proposed new
bridge across Deer Creek," Mayor
Houck declared today. "This ac

tfAPID CITY, S. D.v July 2.
President Coolidge' is receiving the
first soundings on popular reaction
to his veto of the McNary-Haugen
bill from his friends who are com
ing into- the Black Hills to visit
him. '
Those who have mentioned tho
veto to him so far have declared
thBjt while the" loss-of the farm
bill was deplored at first in some
sections, it -Is no longer looked up
on with so much regret, but Mr.
Coolidge has yet to hear from re
mote sections of the country
where sentiment for the McNary
Haugen bill was strongest.
Compromise Expected
Two of the president's recent
callers who supported the McNary-
Haugen bill, but .who otherwise
generally support the administra
tion, declared that resentment over
the veto is passing because the
farmers expect Mr. Coolidge to ad
vocate some compromise legisla
tion next fall. One of these. Rep
resentative Timberlake, republican,
Colorado, who partook of a state
game lodge dlnnor with Mr., and
Mrs. Coolidge last night, said he
had come to find out what Mr.
Coolldge's Ideas on farm relief are,
nnd to give him, as a supporter of
the McNary-Haugen bill, a review
of his findings on. the veto during
recent travels in the Middle West
The farmers, the Coloradoan
Bald, are thinking of the next
congresB and a new farm relief
hill, haping that Mr. Coolidge will
take a personal Interest In seeing
that one is passed which will give
them what they thing they need.
Tills reputed trend toward a com
promise also wns pointed out by
Representative Winter, republican,
Wyoming, who also voted for the
McNary-Haugen bill and was a re
cent summer White iiouse guest.
Tax Cut Predicted
Aside from the view on the agri
cultural situation the president has
received the next most information
on taxation. Like Representative
Tllson. Mr. Timberlake, who Is a
member of the ways and means
committee, predicted a reduction of
Income taxes, the latter advocating
a cut In the corporation tax from
13 to as low as 10 per cent and
nlso a cut in the personal Income
tax in the higher brackets.
The lower brackets, he held, need
no further reduction at present,
but he believed that the "nuisance
tax" would be abolished entirely.
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Knauss and
family and Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Car
Mens and family will go to the
Bubar camp on the Curry Estate
over the week-end to enjoy an
outing. , .

There was much wrangling. In

had been added.

those Congressmen who wanted to
speak, but the flies were too much
for them. Passage was urged to
escape the files and passage was
had. The delegates went home
and left the historic hall to the
flies.
Preceded Jefferson
The real father of the Declara
tion of Independence was a man
few school youngsters today hear
of. This was Richard Henry Lee,
of Virginia, who might have writ
ten the Declaration itself had it
not happened that his wife was
taken suddenly III and that he
went home to be at her bedside,
leaving to Jefferson the honor of
composition.
Lee wrote what was really the
first declaration, a short resolution
which was put before Congress on
June 7, 1776. On that day Lee
moved "that these United Colonies
are and of right ought to be free
and Independent states; that they
are absolved from alt allegiance
to tho British crown; and that all
connection between, tlmm and tho
states of Great Hrllnin Is and
ought to be dissolved."
There, in one short paragraph,
Is the whole Declaration of Inde
pendence.. You can even find this
very wording In tho closing sen
tences of the Jefferson draft.
Lee's resolution was debated
June 8 and 9, and It was the Lee
resolution which came before Con

passed before Jefferson's expanded
declaration was taken up.
One other Continental Congress
man who stepped aside to give Jef
ferson the honor of writing the
famous document was John Adams.
Jefferson wanted Adams to write
it. Adams' wanted Jefferson to
write it, for, wrote Adams later,
"I had been so unpopular and ob
noxious for my early and contin
ental zeal In promoting the meas
ure that any draft of mine would
undergo more criticism and scru
tiny in Congress than one of hlH
composition. "
Adam's Speech Lost
It was Adams, however, whose
eloquence persuaded the Congress
to paHs Lee's resolution nnd so
paved the way for Jefferson's. Ills
famous spi'ech on that occasion Is
lost, although Daniel Webster later
tried to reproduce surh parts as he
could remember in the ."Supposed
Speech of John Adams."
These are only a few of the
many little known facts about the
history of tho Declaration of In
dependence and the history of
July 4.
For Instance, on July 4, the
Declaration was adopted by only
twelve of the colonies, New York
holding hack tilt July 0. And on
July 4 the document was signed
by only two people, John Hancock,
president of the Congress, and
Charles Thomson, Its secretary.
