PRESIDENT IN MOVIES
TO AID GOOD ROADS
Ford Film Includes Coolidge and
White House

Ford Film Includes Coolidge and
White House
The President Of the United States
is so much interested in good roads
that he has appeared in movie film,
which is good road propaganda, spon,
sored by Henry Ford. The hero of
the little two-reeler is country boy,
who is presented by the President
with scholarship for prize essay.
Later the boy becomes a civil engi-
neer, devoting his life to the build.
ing of better roads in order to make
his section Of the country a better
place in which to live.
President Coolidge is so familiar
with farms and farm life that he has
an intimate and tirsthand acquaint-
ance with what good roads mean to
the farmer, and coming, as he does,
from one of the pioneer good road
states of the Union, knows personal
ly what hard surface highways do
for those who live along them.

Paying Cost Of government

The cost Of government in the Uni
ted States is approximately eight and
one-half billion dollars year. This
cost is paid by the 40 per cent Of the
population who are engaged in gainful
occupations. 1t amounts to 5000 a
year for each of such citizens. APP
proximately one out Of every ten per-
sons is an employe of the govern
ment The ratio is increasing. AS
the number of tax consumers In
creases the number of taxpayers
grows smaller 1t follows that with
the increase in cost of government
and in number Of people supported by
the government either by wages or
tax exemptions the tax burden on
those not SO included will increase.

out to collect the 5 GIL signatures neceS-
sary to get their ticket a place on the

elect congressman. Conditions are total
ly unlike those of 1912, when Roosevelt
carried the State, although there are
reports the State managers of the Wis
consin Senator's campaign are adopting
the tactics of that strenuous year by
approving congressional candidates sub
scribing to some of their ideas.
A number of congressional candidates
elected on Democratic tickets in indus

getting into touch with the La Toilette
people and anticipate Endorsements
Owing to jam in which the people
claiming right to use of the name of
through failure to exercise right of
nomination at the April primary, there
are possibilities no National or State
ticket may be on the ballot under that
name. If this condition should prevail
it would mean a new party name but
that was tried successfully in the Roose-
welt campaign and would not mean
much.
Both Republican and Democratic
State organizations are preparing for
congressional battles, which will open
unusually early.

be opened here within a week, being

indorsed Senator Robert NJ La Fol-

pointed a committee to attend a con-
vention Of the Peoples party and
mass meeting here on August in
the interest Of La F'ollettes candidacy.
This is the first time in history that
the local federation his indorsed a
candidate for political Office, and as
the unions affiliated with the fedora
tion have a membership of more than
$4,000 in Baltimore alone, politicians
generally are beginning to note with
alarm the rapid growth OF La Fol-
lette clubs throughout the state.
The resolution indorsing the Wis
consin senator was passed unani-
mously and an invitation has been
extended to Senator La Toilette to
speak here on Labor day. Should he
accept arrangements will be made to
broadcast his speech.

are hearing more talk of La Toilette
than they like and while it is rather
early to say how much of a factor
the Wisconsin Progressive will prove
in this conservative state. 1t is gen.
orally recognized his candidacy has
aroused much interest.
Leaders of the La Toilette party
here say that a vigorous campaign
to carry Maryland will be made, and
that the mass meeting on August 3
will be attended by representatives
of every labor, farm. socialist and
other progressive political orSanfza-
