When its membership makes its voting strength, and its unity of purpose its power apparent, the association will exert an influence influ-ence over the political ring that at present keeps the "Highways" of Utah a nightmare of dusty ruts.

It doesn't make very much difference where the work is begun just so that it is begun somewhere some-where on the dust beds of the series of ruts known as the "State Highway," High-way," and then continued until the road is made something worthy the name.
