EDITORIAL

BY comparing the number OF auto
mobiles registered in a State with the
population Of the State, the number
OF persons Per automobile is deter
mined. According to statistics issued
by tn National Automobile Chamber
OF Commerce for 1928 California
leads the country with 3.S persons per
motor can while Alabama has only
one car to every 261 persons.
The e4even states which follow Ala
bar.a up the column are Mississippi,
(23D; Arkansas (204); Georgia
(2OO; South Carolina (17.O; Loui-
siana (17.6); Tennessee Q72); Ken
lucky Q5.D; New Mexico (14D; N
Carolina 90; Virginia $3.50; and
West Virginia (129D
The South is a prosperous section,
1t has money. 1t likes luxury as we'll
as the North 1t needs transuorta-
ton There is only one reason why
the South doesn't have as many motor
cars as the West, the Northwest or the
North. 1t hasn't the roads.
A road is of no value without a We
hic!e, and a vehicle is of no value
without a road The two are a whole,
Il uillt. lue, tltIe are NenlClSe run
ming over poor roads, shaking them
selves to pieces and costing more
money to their owners in the long run
than good road would cost But, as
a rule, highways and cars go together;
where the one is, the other comes.
The automobile cuts he cost of
hauling, increases education, adds to
the JOY of living, makes for health,
saves time, and promotes happiness.
But as the automobile cannot work its
wonders without roads over which to
run, it is obvious that the step for
ward which will put the States in this
country who have but one car to five,
six and seven families, into the COL
umn where are States with a car to
every one or two families, is the step
which leads to better roads and more
of them!

LORNA DOONE" MATERIAL
CALLED FOR MUCH
ACTIVE RESEARCH

1t took over five months of active re-
search work to establish costume and
custom details of the seventeenth CEN
fury, the period in which the story of
Lorna Doone," to be shown at the
Grand Theater Mondh yand Tuesday, is
laid.
Great sheaves of notes on dress and
etiquette; on court manners and pro-
cedure; on architecture and furniture
were gathered together and collated in
to ready reference volumes which we're
used constantly while the big scenes of
the picture were being made.
Tourneur is a stickler not merely
for realism but also for correctness of
detail. AS result of the research work
which has been done on his various
productions of classical books and
plays such as the "Bluebird," Treasure
Island" and the Last of the Mohi-
cans" he now has one of the finest re-
ference libraries of any motion pic
ture producer.
In Lorna Doone" he has exceeded
all his previous efforts and has pro-
duced mangificent spectacle which
is faithful reproduction of the spirit
OF the novel from which it has been
adapted.

HIGHWAY BUILDING TO
BE GREATEST INDUSTRY
Trend Shown By Farmers Need For
Increased Hauling

There are more than sir and quar-
ter million farms in the United States,
worth in excess of seventy billions of
dollars, a sum in ercesS of that in
vested in any other three industries of
the country. Any up-to-date farmer
tilling more than 80 acres knows that,
given a road over which he can travel,
he must have truck or lose money to
his competitor who has one. Assum-
ing for the purposes of argument that
one-third the farms in America are 80
acres or more, it is obvious that more
than two million trucks are needed on
farms alone.
The present yearly production of
trucks is a quarter of million. The
existing number of trucks serving
farms is probably not in excess of half
a million The reason why use lags
so far behind necessity is the fact that
the trucks should travel over two and
half million miles of road and actu-
ually do travel over less than three
hundred thousand miles of road for the
good and sufficient reason that only
that number of miles are sufficiently
improved to make truck hauling eco
nomlcal.
Statistics gathered by the govern
ment show that, given reasonably
good road, it costs, per ton mile, IS
cents to haul wheat. IS cents to haul
corn, and 18 cents to haul cotton by
truck, whereas by wagon the rates are
80, 80 and 48 cents. respectfully.
The American farmer is not stu
pid person eLt him once realize how
much he can save by a truck and he
won't ask for good roads. he will de-
mand at the polls that the United
States government give him good
roads. He already is asking in no I'M
certain voice, which is why it can con-
identity be predicted that the industry
of the future which will be the biggest
in the United States is neither rail
roads nor automobile building (the
two present leaders, except farming),
but road making. When the farmers
of the nation insist on having their
two and a half million miles of mud
tracks made into roads, highway build
ing will become the nations premier
industry.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR
HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS
RESTS ON GOVERNMENT
Absence of Supervision and National
Legislation Partly to Blame

An appalling number of people are
killed and injured every year on the
highways of this country. Sporadic
efforts are made in cities, and occa-
sionally by States, to cure the evil by
legislation and regulation of traffic,
notably in speed ordinances and head
light laws, but without much effect.
The reason is that speed and glazing
headlights are not the primary cause
of highway accidents.
Examination as to the causes of &C
cidents shows that the principal fac
tors are sharp curves, impaired vision
due to fences, overhanging trees, EN-
bankments, ETC., excessive grades, too
narrow bridges, slippery road, sur
faces, dangerous detours, defective
road surfaces, weak bridges, and too
narrow roads.
If the National or State govern
ment permitted railroad to kill and
MAIN its passengers because of too
sharp curves, too steep grades, defect
i've rails, improper signals, or too weak
bridges, the people would speedily
change the government!
Roads have grown almost impercep-

highways. The automobile traffic
was born almost overnight and is in
creasing by leaps and bounds. Gov.
eminent is used to highways as safe
ribbons of traffic 1t has yet taken
little cognizance of the dangers which
the road, safe for horse and buggy,
provides for a car.
u IS inevitable that the United
States construct a system of trunk
ne highways nortsh and south, east
and west. throughout the country.
Such highways will not have danger
Gus surfaces, curves, bridges, embank-
ments or crossings. AS soon as state,
county and town road builders see the
difference in the death and injury rate
on properly built and maintained high
ways, their own standards of road
construction will inevitably respond.
Until that day comes, it is impossible
entirely to absolve governmental in
difference from completely in high
way accidents.

TAX PAYER" NOT
WELL INFORMED

Taxpayer" simply don't know the
possibilities of these organizations and
misjudges their purposes. They are a
great auxiliary force to the Chamber
Of Commerce and can be of incalcu-
liable service in a constructive pro
gram for city and county.

What can awaken the business men
of Fitzgerald to the starting fact that
people are leaving the city for en-
ployment? If these business men
would put forth the same united eff
fort and go to the same expense to
bring factories, mills, etc, to- give
the people work that they are doing
to entertain themselves in their differ
ent clubs-they might save Fitzgerald
Instead of spending their money, time
and effort trying to relieve this alarm
ing condition, they seem to be hiding
themselves from it by having a good
time For this published show of pros
perity is not deceiving anyone but
themselves, as is evident, for it is Meth
err attracting people here, or keeping
them from leaving. Now let them give
"the saving of Fitzgerald" their most
profound and serious thought, putting
aside their pleasure plans until they
have mastered the situation and plan
to act quickly, create a fund to pur
chase desirable location, employ one
of their capable and energetic business
tmen who will receive the last half of
his pay after he has landed the factory
on this desirable location which
Fitzgerald makes present of taxfrec
to any company to come give the peo-
pie employment and help save Fitz-
