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. State Journal.

Use of Brush Dams.
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.

It is loosely charged that motor
buses are wearing out roadB which
the public principally pays for.
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.
