MASS. GOVERNORS INAUGURAL TALK
Fuller Recommends Numerous
 State Improvements

Boston. Jan. 6.-tP(-A plea for continued governmental economy, strict and impartial law enforcement, amendment in judicial procedure to speed administration of justice, dis patch in transaction of legislative business, and recommendation that the system of pensioning employees of the commonwealth be considered with view to possible total abolition were highlights in today's inaugural of Gov. Alvan T. Fuller.
 He was starting his second two year term as chief executive of Mas sachusetts.
 Other recommendation included biennial legislative sessions. stricter scrutiny of admission to practice of law and medicine, regulation Of fire arms, extinguishing of obsolete and confusing statutes, closer attention to service rates of electric and gas utilities, cetter protection for the public against investment swindles and tax on gasoline.
 
 abolition of the nautical training school, revision of laws and govern ing fire hazards, lessening of the taxation burden on industries and rigid control of the eradication of bovine tuberculosis.
 The pension system has grown like a prairie fire" from a total cost in 1910 of s56,O00 to s717,0O0 in 1925. ITO my mind there is a very serious question whether pensions as q whole should not be abolished com pletely,' the governor declared in accounting efforts being made to in- crease the list of beneficiaries
 In many instances pensioners. after being retired, are competing in various industries with the very men who as taxpayers are helping to pay their pensions"
 In calling attention to excessive" returns in dividends by gas and elec- tric companies. the governor recom- mended that the public utilities com mission be empowered to proceed to reduce rates upon its own initiative.
 On the question of finances, pos sible surplus of s1,20o,oo0 two years hence was seen provided expenses could be kept down.
 Taking cognizance of the indus trial shift that has led many manu- lecturers to turn to the south and lower tax rates he warned the legis- lature that mo additional burdens should be placed upon industry" but, he added, we do not care to lower our labor standards to meet

HIGHWAY TRAFFIC

u. of M. Engineering Dean
! Collects Data on Washing
! ton.BaItimore Boulevard.

An intensive study of traffic con.
fiitions on the Washington Baltimore
Roulevard is to be made, based on
airplane photographs and a series or
car counts made on July 4, Dean "A.
N. Johnson of the engineering school
of the University Of Maryland told the
Highway Research Board. meeting
here< today.
! Although no definite conclusions
haye yet been drawn from the data
obtained, DR.. Johnson said, the photo
graphs reveal clearly that even in the
a1ours of densest traffic on holiday
there are wide open spaces. sometimes
ia quarter of a mile in length.
/ Notwithstanding the speed limit on
the boulevard Is 40 miles an hour. he
pointed out there is no tendency on
the part of the average motorist to
go more than 80 miles an hour. The
biggest traffic count showed 1.20O cars
an hour, from this peak declining TO
slightly below 500.
Highway Financing Discussed.
The problem of highway financing
was discussed by A. j. Brousseau of
New York. who pointed out that the
American people now have $10.0oo,-
900 900 invested in roads outside the
large cities. The great expenditures
entailed in this construction. he said.
have caused many to raise the issue
of economy.
Mr.. Brousseau said the bonded In
debtedress of States for good roads
now exceeded $S35, 100000. The whole,
he said, must be considered in two
parts-first. the actual cost of con-
structlng good roads, and, next, the
cost of maintaining them. The first
Gle ssification, he said. must be con-
sidered rather in the light of capital
investment which adds definitely to
the wealth of the commonwealth
rather than under the head of Eek
penses."
The equable distribution of gas tax
revenue between the State and the
towns and counties was discussed by
II. r. Agg Of Iowa State College. Since
this has become the most important
item in financing road building, he
said, care must be taken not to let 1t
be dissipated in small sums used at the
whim Of local governments with very
little real benefit to the State road
system. This may result, however, in

The picture concerns only the
latter days of Christ, from the
time his preachings incurred the
enmity of the Roman oligarchy,
through his prosecutions up to
the mad, devastating aftermath
of the crucifixion, when "the
heavens opened and the earth
was rent asunder."
De Mile has outdone himself
in this climactic effect. It's
awful impressiveness is empha-
sized by contrast to the benign
ant slowness of the earlier Sc
quences; a slowness impossible
to avoid if extraneous "pep"
material is to be ignored.
The crucifixion scene is cruelty
realistic, perhaps a little too
prolonged, but its lesson is one
not to be found in a thousand
tones.
The ominous portent of the
darkening heavens following the
Savior's expiration leads to
scenes of such graphic tumult
as no director in any other pic
ture has surpassed. De Mile
has adopted the twin climax,
once so favored by Griffith, and
as the heavens open in all their
fury and the earth crumbles
into a cayernous tomb, en-
veloping the hordes of anti
Christs and the faithful, Judas
Iscariot leaps into space, a rope
about his neck, to expiate his
betrayal.
To be especially mentioned are
such scenes as the casting Of the
money-changers out of the temple,
the last supper, the seizure
in Gethsemane, that mastery mob
scene where Pilate asks the
throng to choose between Jesus
and Barrabas, the tortuous road
to Golgotha. the Crucifixion and
the Resurrection.
The Christ of II. B. Warner is
unbelievably like the ideal, hu.
manized by the faintest suggestion
of a smile at all times. This IS
no symbolic Christ, shrouded by
haze and lowering only in the
background. He is the central
figure and Warner etches the iI-
Vulnerable shades of complaisance,
Philosophy, agony and the haloed
peace of the Resurrection with
consummate appreciation.
To the two Schildkrauts. to
Jacqueline Logan and to Ernest
Terrence, aside from the Warner
Characterization, the picture in

forget as the scheming Caiphas
and the younger, as Judas.
