simple and systematic method Of
handling road funds should replace
the present confusing lack of system,
the highway department should be
empowered to prescribe forms and
methods for keeping account of high
way receipts and expenditures, and
the law should compel local officials
to follow such methods and use such
forms as the highway department pre-

cate such a system Of highway i'm

the Improvement Of such system
the state should contribute annually
in such proportion as seems most
equitable after a careful study of
conditions. Such work
should, of course, be under the direct
OF the state. All auto
mobile revenues should go into the

Place In Picture World.

Florence Turner Entitled to High
Place In Picture World.
When the history of the silent
drama shall have been written there
is one name which will stand high
in the list of actresses who have
striven to perfect the art of screen
acting. That name is Florence Turn
er, who will be seen at the Orpheum
Theatre today only in the Mutual
Star production "Doorsteps," a film
version of the famous drama of the
same title No other person in the
annals of the motion picture industry
has done more to uplift the quality
of photoplays and to improve the art
of film acting than Miss Turner.
Miss Turner was the first of the
motion picture stars. She holds the
distinction of being the first person
to be featured in moving picture
play. During the early years of the
infant industry she was the only one
1onored by having her name used in
connection with the advertising of
a picture production. She was the
first to head an organized motion pic.
ture stock company, and many of the
film stars whose names are now
household words received their first
instruction from her. She was the
first real actress to appreciate the
power and appeal Of the screen, and
even in the chaotic days of produc-
ing she foresaw the popularity that
befell her chosen profession.
Although she has played more lead
ing roles than any women in the pic
ture field, she has never had such
an exacting role as she portrays in

to employ highly efficient engineers
and road superintendent, and it is
manifestly the part of wisdom and
economy for the counties to obtain
jointly, through the agency Of the
state, this very necessary factor in
the solution Of their road problems
In this connection it should be borne
in mind that a century and a quarter
of local road management has result
ed in a lack Of progress which has
been most striking, and this in spite
of the fact that during the past ten
years the average annual iexpendi-
ture has probably exceeded $150,O00,-
600.
Improve State System.
"A secondary object of very great
importance in the establishment of
a state highway department is to OBJ
tain a correlation of highway work
throughout the state. County and
township boundary lines are arbitrary
and are not established with refer
ence to the trend of traffic. It fol-
lows, therefore, that number of
acting independently may, in
spite of a large expenditure of en-
energy and money provide patch
work of highway improvement rad
ically unfit for traffic needs. A cen
traliZing influence such as would be
obtained through a state highway de-
)artment would tend to work out i'm
in all parts of the state
n accordance with some general
)Ian and system.
"Another important advantage OBJ
aimed through the granting of state
lid to highway improvement by means

the equitable distribution of cost bur
dens for such improvement The
country road is not mere local con.
venience, for the product of the farm
is necessary to the existence of the
city population and the prosperity of
the country is reflected largely in the
prosperity of the city and of all in
dustries throughout the state. Fur
thermore, the rapid development of
the motor vehicle has enormously in
creased the radius of travel, SO that
owners Of automobiles frequently ira
verse roads that are hundreds of miles
away from the point where the auto
mobile owner pays taxes. 1t is evil
dent, therefore, that to place the en-
tire burden of constructing and main
tanning the highways upon the coun-
ties and townships is to relieve to a
large extent the cities and the great
industries of the state from the pay
ment OF their just proportion of this
burden. Only through the establish
ment of state highway department
and the appropriation of state funds
can this situation be met. AutomO-
bile revenues obtained from registra-
ton fees should be collected by the
state and expended on the highways
through the agency of the state. An
other form of state aid which, in |
some cases, is proving quite efficient, |
is convict labor. Whatever measure
of aid the state grants it plainly tends
to equalize burdens and accelerate
progress in highway improvement.
Eliminates Local Politics.
"A further advantage of state SUI
pervision, where the supervision is
sufficiently extensive and pronounced,
is tendency to eliminate local poll
tics and selfish private interests in
the distribution Of Improvement I'm
fortunately it is true that even in
state highway management political
considerations have. in some Of the
states, hampered the work, but it must
be apparent that in highway work
throughout the state the
absence OF petty local control would
prove beneficial State officers can
not be swayed in the same manner
as township or county officers, and
their decision is much
more likely to be unbiased and for
the best interests of the county.
THAT state participation is effective
is proven by the fact that only in
those states which have adopted this
policy has there been real marked
in highway construction.
There are now between $4,000 and
10000 miles of state highways and
it is distinct evidence of the
strength OF this policy that not a
single state having once adopted it
has permanently reverted to the old
plan Of local management.
Bridges Should Be Approved.
LAS to the most effective lines
llong which state participation should
BE developed, it should be borne in
mind that as a primary object is skill
I'd supervision it follows that state
should extend over any
md all highway work in the state in

warrant the obtainment of engineer
