GET GOVERNORS TO WORK
Tree Planting at Lake Tahoe Their First Labor, Says Rogers.
TRUCKEE, Cal., July 23.—Well, last
night at midnight we met all the governors at the line. Fired a 19-gun salute (governor's salute used to be 17,
but Mr. Roosevelt on
account of being a
governor himself
raised 'em 2 guns).
Took quite a while
because we only had one cannon. We were
able to wake everybody up but Governor Parks of Missouri.
Today they all
planted a tree at Lake Tahoe,
so we at least got 'em working for the first
time since they been in office. It's
the first reforestation camp for governors.
It will just about be the democrats'
luck to plant trees all over the country, and about the time they are big
enough to harvest the republicans will
be back in, or is that too early? Yours, WILL ROGERS.
