CHANGE in ENFORCEMENT
TACTICS

The Bureau of Prohibition
has directed its agents to spec
ialize on graduating the sour
ces of liquor supply and to
leave the problem of speak
easies to the states.
In making this known, the
director of the Prohibition
Bureau - Col. Amos w. w.
Woodcock- said it was made
necessary by the fact that the
appropriation bill for the next
fiscal year provided no funds
for the purchase of evidence
against speakeasies.
Restrictions on activities of
prohibition agents were writ
ten into the supply bill for the
Department of Justice by Con-
gress at the recent session.
In addition, the amount for
prohibition enforcement was
reduced from $10,25O.0OO for
the present fiscal year to S.
100000 for the 12-month per-
iod beginning July 1.
"The great bulk of COM
plants which reach this Office
and reach the field offices are in
regard to speakeasies," Colonel
Woodcock said in a statement.
"In the future the officials of
this bureau must refer such
complaints, in the main, to the
local authorities. 1t is to make
this fact clear that this state
ment is made.
"Since the bureau will con-
centrate it's attention upon the
sources of supply in the future,
it should be much more effec-
tive against them.
"a very careful study will be
made of the operation under
the new plan and I have no
doubt that the bureau should
prove itself equal to meet this
new situation?"

NEW MARYLAND AGR1CUL.
TURAL SITUATION

"Since prices of farm COM
modities are likely to remain
low for the next few years, the
farmers success will depend
largely upon his ability to re-
duce costs and make other adj
justments in his farm opera
tions," it is stated in the
Maryland Agricultural Situa-
ton and Outlook For 1885,"
which has just been issued by
the University of Maryland Ex-
tension Service.
The Maryland farmer must
devote most of his attention to
keeping his farm and obtaining
an adequate living for his fam
lily and such a. program will
compel careful planning of
production, utilization, and
marketing of crops and live
stock products, it is stated.
Cash expenditures must be re-
duced, except where they can
definitely increase the farm in
come during the current year.
Also opportunities which may
arise to adjust farm indebted
ness must be carefully consid-
cred.
Now is the time to initiate a
careful study of the farm bust
ness with a view to adopting
economical measures. Some
of these measures suggested in
the outlook include: Consump-
ton of more homegrown pro-
ducts; direct marketing Of pro-
ducts through retail routes,
roadside markets, and similar
outlets; increase of individual
sources of income; the posi-
bilities of increasing outside
source of inc ONE and reduc-
ton of the cash cost of running
the farm.
Suggestions offered for re-
ducing costs of running the
farm are: more careful selec-
ton and application of fertiliz-
ers, raising more homegrown
feeds, possible delay Of any
farm improvements, doing re-
pair work right on the farm,
and purchasing in such way
as to receive the benefits of
discounts.
Under hints for doing away
with undesirable and costly
practices on the farm, the fol-
lowing are given: careful plan
ming of work; control of crop
and animal diseases; keeping
farm accounts and records, and
using only most productive
units of the farm as well as
only high producing live stock.

CITY MANAGEMENT GOV
ERNMENT PLAN
POPULAR

Since the city-manager form
of government was first adopt
ed by Staunton, Va, in 1908,
the plan has spread so rapidly
that it is now in force in 445
cities and counties in the Unit
ed States, Canada, Ireland and
Puerto Rico, and only IL cities
which tried it have given it up.
This rapid growth of the
council manager form of gov
eminent is outlined in the City
Manager Yearbook for 1888,
recently released by the Inter-
national City Managers Asso-
citation, of Chicago, which tells
how, even during the recent
conditions under which most
communities are not hasty
about making radical changes,
there were II new council
manager municipalities.
The reason most cities adopt
this form of government, ac-
cording to Mr.. Clarence E. Rid
ley, executive director of the
association, is because the ex-
perience of other cities under
the plan has convinced them it
offers them something better
than they have.
AS the situation now stands,
one out of every five cities in
the United States over 10000
population has the city-mana-
ger form of government, ac-
|cording to the yearbook.
Cincinnati, Ohio, is put for
ward in the yearbook as one of
the best examples of what the
city-manager plan has done for
a city. In a statement by Mr..
Louis Brownlow, director of
the Public Administration
Clearing House, Cincinnati is
credited with having advanced
from one of the worst-govern-
ed cities in the United States
to having the reputation of be-
ing the best-governed large
city in this country. This city,
he adds, has become ga symbol
of hope for municipal democ-
racies the whole wide world
around.

cow LEADS IN FARM DOL
LAR PRODUCTS

The humble COW has become
the queen of American Agricul-
ture.
She has risen to the head of
the farm income dynasty which
famous dollar producers of the
past-cotton, wheat and live
successfully ruled as
king.
Completing a classification
of farm income, the Bureau of
Agriculture economics report
ed that the products of the cow,
for the first time. led all types
of income, usurping the place
held in recent years by cattle,
hogs and sheep collectively.
Dairy products accounted for
81. $50. 100000 of farm income

The narrow, columnar type
of red cedar, SO characteristic
of the Maryland landscape, is
much sought after by land
scape architects for more or
less formal paintings, accord
ing to w. r. Ballard, horticul-
turist for the University of
Maryland Extension Service.
AS a result, Mr.. Ballard points
out, it would seem worthwhile
for individual farmers to sow
collected seeds of this type of
red cedar on rough land un-
suited to cultivation for other
purposes.
The trees give a return at
very little cost and, in the
event they are not sold as liv-
ing trees, they still have value
as fence posts. If grown for
landscape purposes the young
trees should be given a light
clipping once a year to enhance
their value.

The tasks before President
Roosevelt are such as few pres
idents of the United States
have had to face. In an en-
deavor to list them these might
be named as headlines: Cur
rency; budget; national debt;
banks; farm relief; railways;
tariff; war debts; ornaments;
security. The great difficulty
is that these questions have all
been drifting or rushing to a
focal point. Take any of these
and the cry is for quick action.
One factor bringing hope is
that the new president has
back of him a united force.
Mr.. Hoover, with splendid exc
cutive ability and with vision,
failed in gaining this backing.
The old fable of the farmer and
his bundle of sticks still stands
united, tied together, the
bundle was firm, unbreakable;
unbound, loose, one by one,
contents were worthless. The
great difficulty is that nations
have not learned this lesson of
unity, the lack is among peo-
pies as we'll as amongst a citi-
zenry. One state OF the 48

SILVER ADVOCATES WARM
ING UP AGAIN

Silver advocates Seizeu upon
one word in President Roose-
velt's inaugural address "ade-
quate" -and held it supplied
the leverage necessary TO put
their plan through the special
session of Congress.
That word the new President
used in this fashion: "There
must be provision of an ade-
quate but sound currency"
AS a part of their program,
the silver Senators initiated a
move to turn the monetary
emergency into rejuvenated
prices for silver.
In three bills designed to
bring silver into wider use as
money and to lift from the
market the existing surplus,
Key Pittman (Nev.), Demo-
cratic President pro tampore OF
the Senate, renewed a cam
paign begun last session.
Senator Burton K. Wheeler,
.(Dem., Month, reintroduced
his bill for the RECOMMENDATION
of silver at a ratio of 16 to /
with gold, the old war cry of
William Jennings Bryan in his
campaign for the Presidency.
One of Pittman's bills would
permit Great Britain to pay up
to $1OO,OOO,O00 Of her war debt,
in silver, with the maximum
allowance to be As cents per
ounce.
Another would authorize the
Government to buy 100000
ounces a month of the domestic
production, while the third
proposed that this country pur-
chase $25O,OO0,O0O worth in the
open market to remove the
world surplus.
Against all the silver ac-
quired under the Pittman bills,
currency would be issued and
the metal added to the base of
the nations monetary system
at the rate of $1.29 per ounce,
the value of silver now in mon
etary use in this country.
In the rehabilitation of sill
yer, Pittman contended, lay a
broader currency and the inn
mediate restoration of world
trade and increased purchasing
power to revive domestic and
foreign business, by providing
a larger base for world curren-
cies.
Senator Dill (Dem., Wash.
an advocate of the rehahilita-
tion of silver, said the current
banking situation showed a
need for aiding the white met
al, and that he felt that the
permanent recovery program
decided on should take silver
into full account.
There was not sufficient
time to attempt to do anything
in the emergency program, he
explained, "but silver certainly
must be considered in any
permanent plan"

PERKINS IN MOVE
TO STOP STRIKE
OF CLOAKMAkERS
Aids ILGW Officials in
Piece Work Betrayal

WASHINGTON, D. c., July "a. -
Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins
entered the cloak and suit situation
today in a move to whitewash the
officials of the International Ladies
Garment Workers Union and help
them prevent the proposed strike for
week work Following the announce
ment today that no agreement was
reached between the officials of the
Union and the Recovery adninistra-
ton and the employers on the piece
work question, France Perkins sent
wire to Dubinsky, president of the
ILGW urging that the strike be held
up until code is finally settled. 81
believe strike action is premature.
May I earnestly urge that you delay
taking a vote until you, know the
provisions of the code which I IN
derstand will be ready shortly
reads the wire from Miss Perkins.
The Perkins wire will merely ia
oilitate the betrayal of the cloak
makers by the officials.
The Perkins telegram will be the
excuse to call off the cloakmakers'
strike. The Perkins request that Du-
binsky wait until the code is ready
reveals even mere clearly the brazen
scheme OF the government, the bosses
and the officials to sell-out the cloak
makers to piece work since the code
has already been signed to by the
union officials.
