Prohibition Not to be the Single Issue in 1932 Neither, Says Chairman Raskob, Will He Attempt to Dictate the Party Candidate. New York With the assertion he did not propose to make prohibition the single issue in 1932. Chairman Raskob, of the democratic national committee, sailed for Europe. He sr'iH also that he did not intend to dictate the party's nominee for pres ident in 1032. Both he and Former Governor Smith, who bade him.bon voyage, denied that any sanctioned survey had been made to determine the relative strength of the party's p( tential candidates In 1932. "I'm not prepared to say," said former Governor Smith, "whom I will support for the nomination." "1 have no information concern ing the relative strength of Gover nor Roosevelt or of any other po tential candidate." said Mr. Uaskob. "So one has made with the sanction of the committee any study with re gard to tht strength thruout the country of the various men, and none will be made. I. as chairman of the committee, will take no action re garding the selection of a candidate. The Domination of a candidate right fully belongs to the convention and it I. as chairman, should attempt to dictate It it certainly would be a breach of democratic principles." In a prepared statement Mr. Ras kob said he was "continually asked whether I believe prohibition will be the chief issue in the next cam paign." iy opinion is that the principal and most important issue will bt prohibition, the tariff, farm relief and econoraic problems touching principally 0 such social changes as are necessary to lessen the severity of future depression and particularly tho unemployment conditions inci dent thereto. It is difficult and not ;it all ihv essary to attempt to classify these issues in the order of the im portance.

Brush dams are best adapted to ditches ranging from two to seven feet in depth. These are the ditches that cannot be crossed with the field machinery and can be easily controll ed by the use of brush dams. Now is an ideal time to do this work before the heavy rains come. The effectiveness of brush dains for ditch control depends anon the number of places they are used in a single ditch. A few isolated dams placed in a long gulley will prove of very little value. When used in series it is possible to fill an entire ditch at one time. A ditch fifteen feet wide and five feet deep should have the shoulders knecked off and at last six ground posts set across it. The two posts in the bottom hjuld be about a foot belov th- tup level of the ditch. A layer of coarse straw or manure is nct placed betwen the puitt and on the ground where the dam is to be built. T?;i- keeps the tiist fi d wa Iter fiom cutting under the brush or around t'ie fides of the dlVC The brush if-. t:.en put in wlrn unnk end up. IJig limbs are not desirable and should be cut into small pieces and packed in tightly. Many of the croaches should be hooked over the posts. The long slender limb should be placed at the bottom and work up to the shortest ones on top. Much of the success of the dam depends upon the compactness of the brush. The brush should be piled almost to the top of the ditch, allowing the center to be about one to two feet lower than the edges. This is done by wir ing two poles across the top and lower at the center than at the wings. In doing this the brush should be compacted as much as possible and wised Been tly to every po.st. A few bales of coarse straw or lit ter is then thrown in above the dam and worked into the butt ends of the brush with fork handle. When the water conies down it will rise to the center of the dam and flow over, falling on the npon. and do no hatxi.

Testifying before the Interstate i Commerce Commission, Tnonias Btac ! Donald, Chief of the U. S. Uurcau of ! Public Roads, stated that roads now being built through government aid Will stand an 18000-pound axle load on pneumatic tires. He testified fur ther that it requires only a slight ! increase in the thickness of a road designed to carry ordinary vehicles ,to accommodate the 7 ton, pneumatic-tired truck. I In other words, our modern high- jways are amply strong to accom modate motor buses. In a majority of Instances, the wear on the road caused by the bus is no larger than thai caused by normal, privatc-ve- ihicle traffic Yet the common carrier bus pays taxes averaging $074.00 a year per vehicle. j It is claimed by the National As sociation Of Motor Hus Operators that jthe average yearly expenditure for each mile of existing highway is $478.00, and the motor bus pays l$Sl.o in special taxes for each mile of highway used, in spite of the fact that there are 575 other highway u era tor each bus. Every phase of motor bus transpor tation from weai -and-tear on roads to competition with other agencies Of transportation, must be given fair and unbiased attention. Only in that way can the public interest be pro tected and served. Combination Goat A warm friend on chilly evenings. A dry pay in rainy weather.
