THE ROAD QUESTION TO DATE


Unless some man or group OF men
can devise a sounder and more eco
nomic scheme than that proposed In
the Adams bill for state refunding OF
county road bonds to be taken over
by the state, the legislature will do
we'll to lose no unnecessary time In
adopting that plan of taking care of
these unacceptable obligations. The
bonds can be refunded at lower in
terest rates than they now carry. The
saving thus made possible would be
an Important item in state thrift.
With the Adams plan in operation
to take care of interest and sinking
fund on the bond obligation, with mo-
tor vehicle taxes retained as they are,
with a 2-cent gasoline tax in addition,
and with the $2,100,OOO OF yearly
federal aid made available there would
be a comedy total at the disposal OF
the state highway department for
new construction, over and above the
heavy expenditures required for main
tenance of existing work.
1t cannot be said that the Adams
bill is contrary to the wish of Gov
|ernor Christianson, as expressed In
his inaugural address, that the state
should not be committed at this time
to,new obligations of any kind. Rath-
err, the refundment proposed serves
the demand of the governor for the
utmost economy. The county bonds
fall due within decade. State re-
fundment contemplates a maturity
period twice as long at lower interest
rates.
While Governor Christianson has
not specifically Endorsed the Adams
refundment program, he is apparent,
| ly for the principle that underlies it
Commissioner Babcock accepts the
refundment process in lieu of the
bond issue for new road construction
which he originally asked for. In
this he bows to what apparently L
the will of the legislature that add
tional state obligations should not be
undertaken at this time. Any qulb

the Adams plan involves additional
commitment may well be resolved II

IN THE MOVIE WORLD =:

Between Friends" which will he
shown at the Caughren Theatre to-
night and Friday with Lou Tellegen,
Norman Kerry, Alice Calhoun and
Anna @. Nilsson in the principal
roles, comes from the pen of Rober;
w. Chambers, who is one of Amer
ica's most admired and prolific writ
ers of fiction and has contributed
much to its literary standing in all
it's phases-novels, short stories and
the screen.
In Between Friends" Mr.. Cham
bers has written a story of unusual
interest in which suspense rules to
the final scene. His leading charac-
ter, played by Lou Tellegen, turned
bitter against all women through the
unfaithfulness of one, is made by
Chambers to find his revenge plan
too terrible to carry to conclusion,
and the means of accomplishing this
furnishes a theme such as might be
expected of one so versatile as
Chambers.
"Thundergate," a First National
picture coming to the Caughren
Theatre Saturday, is an adoption of
Sidney Herschel Small's absorbing
story, 'tThe Lord of Thundergate =
It is based on the striking resemb-
lance of an American, part played
by Owen Moore, to the son of a
Chinese lord, the head of the forces
who use every means at hand to
hinder the erection of roads and
bridges by a construction firm which
the American represents.
Circumstances force the American
to masquerade as the son of the
Chinese lord and in this way he dis
covers that not only some of his
American associates are in the pay
of the dictionaries, but also that the
girl to whom he was engaged to
marry was plotting his downfall !.
How he meets romance while so dis
guised and how he defeats the enc

the plot of this highly dramatic play
of American and Chinese life.

Would License Auto Drivers.


Legislation providing state license
for all drivers Of automobiles. now
pending in Minnesota, has the in
dorsement Of Secretary Herbert Hoov-
er and was Endorsed by the National
Conference on Street and Highway
Safety.
Strong opposition has developed in
the Minnesota legislature, especially
among members from rural districts,
to the proposal for a universal driv-
ers' license. The bill, however, has
been recommended to pass by the
house committee on motor vehicles
and is on general orders.
The main argument for the bill Is
that 1t would give law enforcement an
effective club. The most suitable
punishment for reckless drivers. it is
asserted, would be to forbid them to
touch a steering wheel, and likewise
would protect the public.
The pending bill is H. F. 376, by e.

Two States Hear Reports on
Farmers Gains

Fully s1,000,OOO was saved to the
dairy farmers of Minnesota in 1924
by the Minnesota Cooperative
Creameries Association, speakers es
timated at the association annua
meeting at the Ryan hotel, st. Paul
Tuesday. Some 800 members of the
boards of directors of the 465 loca
cooperative creameries of Minnesota
and Wisconsin making up the associa
ton were present.
John Brandt, president of the asso
citation; A. J. Mcclure, general man
ager, and H. F. Meyer, sales manag
er, reported.
The biggest accomplishment
was the finding of new markets
for some 100000 pounds of
the 100000 pounds handled,
giving buoyancy to the New
York market that probably dur
ing certain months made cents
pound difference in the price
at which all fine butter in the
country was sold.
Raising quality of butter OF
the creameries so that whereas
25 per cent sold at the New York
extras grade in 1922, IA per
cent so sold in 1924 and so per
cent at grade above New York
extras. This gain in grade &C
companied by stimulus of the
demand for good butter added
some 100000 to the income OF
the member farmers in 1924.
Saving to creameries of $780,
900 in carload shipping.
Refunded 100000 to cream

highest grade of butter and
reputation for it from Florida to

"The biggest thing the association
has done is the regulation of the tlo'
of butter" Mr.. Meyer said. "Befor

eve have relieved the New Yor
market and it has made differenc
of 5 cents pounds on all butte
from Minnesota during sewers
months.
"Our second great duty in whic
we have made a start is the educs
ton of the public in appreciation

sumption now so that we have sol
all the 90 butter we have in sigh
but we should create even a create

"Our third job is to improve OF
merchandising. This includes pr
duction of quality product fro
the barn of the dairymen to the hon
of the consumer. The money is

duct still further to make the most
it,"
Other speakers emphasized tt

"Rawlins''
Rawlins is the largest city in
south central Wyoming, having a
population of over $500. 1t is locat-
ed in the very center of where the
west begins and where 1t ends. Wy
oming is perhaps the most typically
Western of all the Western states
and we are proud that Rawlins has
that spirit of progressiveness which
is characteristic of cities in this new
and growing section of the United
States. 1t is located almost midway
between Denver on the east, and
Salt Lake City on the west. is
a division point on the U. P. Rail
road. The Lincoln Highway, the
greatest of our national thorough
fares, passes directly through this
growing city, and is crossed at Raw
Inns by the Rocky Mountain High
way. which stretches from Laramie
through the beautiful Medicine Bow
National Forest and continues to
the south entrance of Yellowstone
National Park. Rawlins is also an
important point on the U. S. Airmail
Route. The landing field is illumin-
ated as an aid to night flying. We
greatly respect this important branch
of the post office department. The
courage and heroism of the mail nj
lots are realized at the passing of
every plane. Out of the dark night
they come and disappear again
into the inky blackness of the farther
sky. There Is a peculiar majesty
in the swift fight of these birds of
service, ships that pass in the night
to carry on the great commercial
activities and to expedite the bust
ness of the country.
But let us come down from the
air and get acquainted with the city
of Rawlins and the county seat of
Carbon County. The climate is de-
lightful in the summer, cool and
bracing in the winter. The air is
very healthful because 1t is con-
stantly changing, but 1t never reaches

nado insurance is necessary. Living
conditions are ideal in this thriving
city of Wyoming. A water system

dant supply of pure spring water in

of the town. Natural gas is used
for heating and cooking purposes and
furnishes an attractive source of
fuel for the prospective industry of
