MEAN 30 GENT TAX I A 1921 state highway -program to Cost between $26,000,000 and $30,000,030 13 contemplated by the state high way commission, according to 1. H. "Wright, director of the department. This program is contemplated despite the leeling in some influential quarters that because of the high cost of material and other conditions this is no time to plunge so heavily into this lorm of public improvement. The huge sum will provide for the paritg of approximately 500 miles of xoad3, some of it In "Wayne county -and along its connecting links, the ibulliing of many bridges, the maintenance of approximately 2,500 miles of xoads in the state highway system and the overhead of the department, Mr. "SVright estimates. The cinmission'B Ml, now being prepared for the special session of the legislature -will ask for ft state hlgnvay levy of 30 cents on each $100. $5,000,000 From Government. To the direct tax would be added $5,000,000, the maximum amount tho department may obtain trom the federal government for road building next year. From the inheritance tax $500,O00 Is anticipated and the automobile license department will add .it least $2,500,000, according to present estimates. The total thus available for the de partment next year would be $26,001 O00. This may be increased $2,50000 by the proposed doubling of the pate Automobile license fees, but -'Mr. Wright said, the state highway commission does not propose to sk the legislature to double the fes, although, he said, such a bll' may be Introduced at the special session by others. The expectation that tie state highway commission would ieuest an increase in its levy has caused two views to become prevalei on the subject. On Is that the stat needs roads: that it now has the ioney to build them and that good rod 3 nil over the ptate would help in -emedying many disturbed conditions. The other is thatvhile the state needs roads, this is nrttme to plunge po deeply into road wilding because of the exceptionally H?h cost of building and because so rAich money, labor nnd material turn into road building should, in thePresent shortage of about everything0 turned into commercial and inditrial channels. The two views it is Kpected, will be prepented to the leislature and the controversy fought"1Automobile Jhs, naturally, do not look with favc on the proposed doubling of the itomoblle license fees.

The Theatres WASHINGTON Fifty years ago, our fathers and, years before that, their own fathers, thrilled with excitement, no doubt, over the stories of James Fenimore Cooper. Today we find the same sort of stimulant in the motion pictures of William S. Hart, a splendid example of which is "The Toll Gate," which is showing at the Washington theatre the last time today. The border line of tho Southwest Is the scene of the story that is unfolded. As Black Deering, the outlaw who seeks to revenge himself on the traitor in his band, William S. Hart is a commanding and at the same time, pitiable figure. He gains sympathy every moment and in tho end we rejoice that he finds at last that the world is not all bad. Through a maze of exciting incident, we follow his career; see him escape after his capture; follow him through many thrilling scenes until, through the influence of a good woman, he gives himself up to the law. But he is over the Mexican border, and the sheriff gives him his freedom. He turns sadly southward, for though the girl begs to go with him, he knows his past life makes him unworthy of her. Anna Q. Nilsson is the woman, beautiful, talented and convincing. Joseph Singleton is the renegrade, while Jack Richardson makes an ideal sheriff. Bill Hart's beautiful Pinto pony plays a prominent and heroic role in many of the big scenes. Lambert Hlllyer directed and the story is by William S. Hart and Mr. Hillyer. It is Mr. Hart's best picture. MURRETTE.

worked before the motion picture camera at the Metro studios in Hollywood, and she feels she has found the theory of the art of screen acting. "Ah, how much I lived in those weeks!" said Emma Dunn. "For I do live my parts, you know live them intensely; that's better than to act them. "You see, my stage technique I acquired unconsciously, gradually, but this (screen technique is one thing I had to set myself consciously to acquire and today I believe I have discovered the secret of it. It is to relax. Relax! Before the camera be always as natural, as free, as comfortable as life is!" MURRAY.
