Claiming 100000 cubic yards Of

A ten-foot wall of water let out of

Correspondent Sums Up Sit
uation Now Shaping In
1896 Election
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, Sept. 25-There are
two theories, long regarded by poll
teal analysts as unqualified truisms
in this country both of which may
be wrong as of today.
One is that Republicans normally
are in a majority throughout the
United States; that Democrats new
er can win on a national scale except
by a fluke of some sort. The other
is that Americans basically are the
most conservative people on earth.
Undoubtedly both assumptions were
sound for long, long time. 1t isn't
so certain that either Is sound now.
If not, election forecasts which pre-
sumo their correctness should be
taken with a liberal allowance Of salt
Yet maybe they still are sound-or
semi-sound.
The latter is the 1ikelier guess.
On that supposition the question
arises:
How much water do the old theor-
les continue to hold? And how much
has leaked out of them?
It is too soon to tell with any &C
curacy.
This makes the science Of political
divination very unreliable.
LESS CONSERVATIVE
Are we as conservative as we were?
When this was a land of unlimited
opportunities it was conservative

DEPUTY ACCUSED ON
ANTI-SLAVE CHARGE
Indictments Grow Out of Recent Cot

Eastern Arkansas

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. IS (AP)-
County Marshal P. D. Peacher, of
Earle, faced arrest today on charges
Of violating Federal anti-slavery laws
during an East Arkansas cotton chop
pers' strike last May.
A Federal grand jury indicted the
officer here yesterday on eight
counts, accusing him of obtaining
labor for his cotton farm through
false arrest of eight Negroes.
A capias was issued for Peachers
arrest, and his bond was set a. $4,000
Trial tentatively Is set for Federal
court in November.
The law under which the former
Crittenden county deputy sheriff was
indicated was passed in 1866. It pro-
vides maximum penalties Of $4,000
fine and five years Imprisonment.
District Attorney Fred Iscrig said
the Indictment was the result of an

rumors in eastern Arkansas, and was

non-residential contracts were well in
excess Of last years volume, although
both classes of construction work de-
clined from August to September.
Total building contracts awarded
during the first nine months exceeded
the volume in the corresponding period
last year by 812 per cent. However,
despite this gain over last year and
a much greater gain over the depres-
sion's low, building activity this year
was equivalent to only 40.7 of the 1928
rate, indicating much room for fur
ther expansion before full recovery Is
attained.
High building costs continue to be
a drag on building expansion. The
cost Of construction work is now some
what above the pre-depression level
in 1929, while rents are about "a per
cent below the 1929 level despite the
fact that rents are now 26.5 per cent
higher than at the depression's low.
With the sidewise movement of COM
modify prices during the past two
years indicating an early halt to the
rent rise and the consequent elimi-
nation of rising rents as a stimulant
to building expansion, the building
industry is likely to have considerable
difficulty in making further headway

Aside from lack of trained appren.

lieves many mechanics in the upper
middle-age bracket have abandoned
their tools for all time. He ascribes
two reasons. One is that the me-
chanic of SO years or over is recon-
ciled to the advantages of steady en-
ployment in other business fields over
seasonal work in the building in
dustry. The other is that these me-
chanics. due to slowing up tenden-
cies descending upon them in the
autumn of life. are skeptical of their
physical abilities to do a fair days
work in competition with the younger
element. Compared to 1929. when
l SOC, 900 building craftsmen were en-
ployed, Mr.. Craig estimates this num-
er is thinned down to less than
