The bill docs not add one day to
the maximum prison term for second

to every Judge the vehicle to let off
the wholesale habitual bootlegger
with mere fine and to impose heavy

with headquarters at New York. to-
day applied for the 20 channels set
aside by the radio commission for the

land. Columbus, Ohio. Cincinnati,
Denver. Kansas City, st. Louis, New
Orleans. Atlanta, Salt Lake City. San

Attorneys said the association was
composed of q number of radio
hroadcasters who had agreed to

that the organization was an out
growth OF a refusal by Cleveland
papers to give news to radio stations.
The application further set out that
since radio lis now a direct COMPETE

GASOLINE TAX FUND
TO GO TO COUNTIES
Senators Opposed to Matthaei
Plan to Give State Halt
Of Sum Raised

When the senate, Monday, took ur
the Watt bill to increase the gasoline
tax from two cents to three cents
w. E. Matthaci, Wells county. Offered
all amendment which would give the
counties half of the additional one
cent and the state highway depart
ment the other half. At present the
bill would give all of the additional
revenue to the counties.
Matthaei said revenue from the
gasoline tax last year Appropriated
81, AGO 900 and that 81 100000 will be
needed this year for maintenance of
state highways alone, leaving only
$500 900 for new construction on the
basis of the present revenue. The
state highway department, he said, is
badly in need Of the additional
revenue.
Watt. who sponsored the bill, OPP
posed the amendment, saying the
farmers have been paying the gaso-
line tax and getting little return from
it since few Of them use the state
highways. He said he wants the
counties to have the money so they
can build roads for the farmers
benefit.
Hyland observed that the farmers
who have grain to market or who
want to visit their neighborS want
the county to spend the money which
the additional tax would give them.
Matthaei countcred with statistics
showing that, under the biz, Cass
county would receive $65,O00 a year.
Ward county 10000 and Grand Forks
county $4,000.
Poupore said the county commits
sioners would get more value from
the money than the state highway de-
partment.
Matthaei was the only senator vot-
ing for his motion.
Gus Wog. Billings county, offered
all amendment to apportion the
money on the basis of the number
of motor cars in each county. rather
than on the automobile license re-
cciptS.
Watt said he didn't see that the
matter made any difference, but Fine
said it might give more money to
WCOlCill COullVICo tIAdAA WIZ hSAAA A1oW
provides. since cars are cheaper and
lighter in the rural districts than in
the cities and the license fee is based
partly OH weight and valuation.
A. w. Fowler said that until data
bearing on the point is available
there was no basis on which to de-
termine that question. It might be
proper, he said. to base the distribu-
ton on the amount of money received
from dealers licensed to sell gasoline,
as provided by the bill. In that case,
he said, the eastern part of the state
might get the lions share Of the
His motion to postpone &C
ton on the bill until information on
Wog's motion could be obtained car
ried without a dissenting vote.
The bill to change the mill and Gle
vator law to permit the governor to

of Senator Hamilton, one of its au-
thors. All of the amendments were
of a technical nature and did not
change the purpose of the bill. Ham,
ilton moved that final action on the |
bill be held over until Tuesday.

Columbus. Ohio, Feb. 26-( APP
Heavy rains and rising temperatures
that loosed coat Of ice and snow
put streams and rivers on ram
page in most sections of Ohio today.
Highest waters were reported in
the southwestern part Of the state,
particularly at Springfield. where
the business district and q section of
the residential area were under wa
ter.
Several hundred homes along Buck
creek were isolated and for a time
water stood three feet deep in some
Of the business streets.
Electric power was interrupted for
several hours and for Il time the
city mains were virtually without
water due to the disabling of the city
water works. One pump was put in
operation. however. about 9 a. m.
and shortly after electric service was
resumed.
The Miami valley bore the brunt
of the water, but the conservancy
districts formed after the disastrous
flood of 1913 when hundreds we're
drowned and millions in property
lost, apparently had dissipated the
threat of repetition of that disas-
ter. Although the Big Miami rose
approximately nine feet at Dayton
to a stage of about 10 feet during
the night, no danger was felt there
and the locks in the conscrvancy
dams that protect the city were still
open.
100 Taken to Safety
At Hamilton the Miami river was
higher than at any time since the
1918 flood and more than 100 per-
sons were taken from their homes.
At Zenia, high waters in Shaw
nee creek necessitated rerouting Of
traffic on Main street but no dam
age was reported. At Spring Valley
six miles south Of Xenia. the Little
Miami was reported higher than in
1918. The river was out of banks for
more than half mile and the Xe-
MAJ Cincinnati pike was flooded. Sew
eral families left their homes in the
vicinity.
Streams near Washington court
house also were said to have exceed
ed the 1913 stage and Sugar creek,
near Jacksonville, was spreading
over the lowlands.
The flood area extended from the
southwestern part of the state,
through the central area and into
the northeastern section. No unusual
conditions were reported from the
northwest section.
Floods Power Plant
At Mt. Vernon the kokosing riv-
err duplicated its stage of 1913 and
put the Ohio Power company's plant
out of commission. Employees at the
plant were marooned there this
morning.
A heavy rain flooded the water
works at Louisville, 12 miles west
OF Alliance. Early today Mayor j. H.
Kropf ordered all water service shut
OFF to homes with the supply reserv-
ed for fire protection. Rushing down
from adjacent higher fields into the
pocket where the water works are
located, the water stood 25 feet deep.
The state highway department re-
ported every road out Of Newark UNI
der water and impossible.
The Scioto river was rising rapidly
and had isolated Larue and Prospect,
both in Marion county, in mid-morn-
ing. At Columbus the Oletangy riv-
er in Columbus had flooded a large
section in the northern part of the
city.

FARM GROUP BEGINS
RELIEF WORK EARLY
Committee to Meet Three Weeks
Before Congress Has Spe.
ciaI Session

Washington, Feb. 26.-(AP)-Farm
relief hearings before the house agri-
cultural committee will be begun
about three weeks before the conven-
ing of the special session of congress
in April under plans made public to-
day by Chairman Haugen Of the COM
mittee.
The committee is to meet Friday to
finally determine on the course of
procedure. Chairman Haugen said
that while all phases Of the farmers
problems would be heard 1t was the
desire of the committee to have few
witnesses to represent each group.
Hearings probably would consume
two weeks and the third week. he
said. would be devoted to drafting
the proposed farm relief legislation.
Mr.. Haugen indicated that he cx-
pected the measure would extend re-
lief generally to all agriculturists
with liberal provisions for the de-
velopment Of foreign markets for sur
plus production.
I'm view Of the extensive hearings
already held on farm relief" he said,
1T appears to me that two weeks
should be sufficient time in which to
deal with the problem. We have
planned to request the various farm
groups to limit their witnesses to the
minimum. One man can tell us the
problems of a whole group as well as
a dozen men,"
