Will Rogers: Man
built 646 days ago
For a man who claimed to only know what he read in the papers, Will Rogers sure knew his real estate. A wide grassy expanse slopes down the hillside in front of Rogers' unassuming 31-room, split-level ranch house. Ringed by eucalyptus and lush with clover, it's a fine spot for a picnic, a game of Frisbee or lollygagging in the sun. Main attractions include the spring and summer polo matches, a paddock, stables, roping arena and several horse-friendly trails.

After six weeks Congress finally acted, but what this body enacted seemed ludicrous to Rogers. "Now here is something you mustn't get wrong. The government Saturday passed a bill to appropriate 20 millions as a loan to farmers in the drought area, but it was to be loaned on security. Now the man and his family that are hungry down there has no security. If he had any security he wouldn't be hungry. He would have already put it up" (DT, Vol. 2, 272).

The most popular man in America during the 1920’s and early 1930’s was undoubtedly Will Rogers. The glib mouthed cowboy and trick rope performer was a spokesman and supporter of the common man and his monologues made them laugh as well as think.
