federal government thrusting its thumb
into every pie.
The 5000 System" is used merely
as symbol suggesting the whole prop
osition. Congress gave it the name.
1t simply means that congress ap-
proprtAteS SO many millions in aid Of
good roads or maternity and infant
hygiene or some other thing most eX-
cellent in itself and says to the states
Match it, dollar for dollar, and it's
yours-oR condition that Uncle Sam
has look-in to see that it is properly
spent"
President Coolidge had something to
say on this subject in a recent mes
sage to congress. He said in part:
For federal aid to states the esti-
mates provide in excess of $109, 100000.
These subsidies are prescribed by law.
L am convinced that the broadening of
this field of activity is detrimental
both to federal and state governments
Efficiency of federal operations is i'm
paired as their scope is unduly en-
larged. Efficiency of state govern
ments is impaired as they relinquish
and turn over to the federal govern
ment responsibilities which are right
fully theirs. l am opposed to any ex-
pansion of these subsidies My con-
VictiOn is they can be curtailed with
benefit to both the federal and state
governments.
Reading between the lines it is plain
ly seen that Il President sees in the
$3.50 System" much more than the
system itself. Some of the statesmen
in cOnprocc oro loco or1,ordo5 =, 81, ,o;,
speech. Senator William c. Bruce of
Maryland said in the Muscle Shoals
debate that in his opinion things had
come to such pass that the Statue
of Liberty should be taken down from
the capitol and pap-bottle set up in
its stead. In later debate he said:
So take this occasion once more to
blow the trumpet to sound the tocsin.
and to beg my Democratic comrades
at least to stand shoulder to shoulder
for the purpose of resisting any fur
ther usurpations of authority by the
federal government, or any further
and even more deadly violations of
the fundamental principles upon which
the free institutions of America were
originally based.
So we may consider Senator Bruce
as fairly representing those who see
the 5000 System" as an outward and
visible sign Of Capitalization in the
federal government, invasion of state
rights, destruction of individualism.
ETC., etc., and would begin a decentral-
ization Of the federal government.
Now the purpose of this article is
not to argue pro or con on the general
proposition or on any of It's phases
but merely to set forth some of the in
teresting aspects of subject that has
attained national Importance
Everybody knows of course that the
Constitution contains no mention of
good roads or Of maternity and infant
hygiene And everybody knows that by
the Tenth amendment 1.-THE powers not
delegated to the United States by the
Constitution nor prohibited by it to
the states are preserved to the states
respectively or to the people"

die good roads and maternity and hy-
g1ene or that congress is the peoples
agent and the people can go as far as
they like with the "50-5O System?
Then there's the Preamble to the
Constitution, which reads:
We, the people of the United States,
IN order to form a more perfect union,
establish justice, insure domestic tran
qullllty provide for the common de-
Tense, promote the general welfare and
secure the blessings of liberty to our
selves and our posterity, do ordain and
establish this Constitution for the
United States of America
Here, you see, one of the main pur-
poses of the Constitution is to pro
mote the general welfare" And sure
ly no one will undertake to hold that
good roads and maternity and infant
hygiene do not promote the general
welfare
Let's look at some figures. The
total Of payments made by the federal
government to or on behalf of the
states in the fiscal year 1924 was ap-
proximately $145.OOO,OOO. The pur-
poses and amounts of the principal
subsidies are shown in the following
table:
Agricultural colleges ......$ 2,550,000
Experiment stations ........ 100000
Cooperative agricultural ex-
tension work ......... $3.50 600
Vocational education ..... 5,1SS952
Industrial reha habilitation -. 551.265
Highway construction ...... 63,375,O 600
Forest roads and trails -. $4,000, 900
Forest fire prevention 49,. 1,743,2O2
Maternity and infant hy-
giene observation-disclosures. S47,536
Prevention and control of
venereal diseases ... 93.627
National Guard ......... l9466889
Wide discrepancies between amounts
contributed by the various states in
taxes to the federal treasury and the
prOportionate amounts returned to the
states in the form of federal aid are
frequently pointed out as showing the
injustice of the subsidy system to the
large taxpayer states. The state of
New York, for example, paid taxes
in 1924 to the amount of S69O,415, 1926
1t received as state aid the sum of
$4,02O,445. 1t therefore got back only

The rapid expansion of the federal
subsidy system, and the increasing su-
pervision and control Of state activi-
ties by the national government has
been due principally to six important
pieces of legislation enacted during the
last ten years These acts were:
The Smith-Lever act, May s, 1914.

TT is not often, even in these days
of high photoplay finance. that a
star comes along with story that was
currently quoted at $250,000! Such,
however, is the story of Cobra, Ru-

Cobra" will be recalled as the Mar
tin Brown play that l.. Lawrence
Weber produced in New York with
sensational box office results. At the
height of its stage success, Mr.. Weber
announced that the screen rights were
for sale at the trifiing figure of $780,
900, and that no allowances for good
behavior on the part of prospective
purchasers would be made.
Failing to obtain the $3.50, 900 for the
screen rights to the play, Mr.. Weber
announced that his next step would be
to make a screen version of it himself,
but before he could put that threat
into effect, along came j. d. Williams,

Trick Photography.

TRICK photography. considered by
Paramount the most marvellous
ever conceived for the screen, is dis
played in "A Kiss for Cinderella" the
company's 1925 Christmas Offering.
In one sequence, and for just a mo-
ment upon the screen, it Is as if a
dream had come true. 1t is doubtful
if James NJ. Barrie, when he wrote
this fantasy, realized that some day
human ingenuity would make posi-
BILE vivid portrayal upon the screen
of his imaginative and colorful writ
ings.
The scene in "A Kiss for Cintler-
ella" which Paramount holds has
eclipsed anything done heretofore in
the way of trick photography is the
transformation of "a cage Of white
mice into Il gilded coach and four
white horses. j. Roy Hunt was the
