OBSERVATIONS
BY Cong. ELMER J. RYAN

AS this letter is written there as
great excitement throughout Washing
ton and on Capitol Hill because of the
flood conditions existing on the Po-
tomac. The Potomac is forty-five
feet above normal in Maryland below
Washington and has flooded over the
tidal wall around Potomac Park in
the city. 1t is reported that the river
is at the highest stage that it has
reached since 1889 when the disast-
rous Johnstown flood took the lives
of 1900 people.
Shortly before writing this letter,
we took a drive over to the river In
the vicinity of the Lincoln Memorial
and up through Georgetown where we
witnessed the reddish brown flood
waters swelling menacingly under Ar
lington Memorial Bridge and Key
Bridge. The reddish clay of the
Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia
hills give the water its color. Car
ried along in the current one can see
trees, bushes and vegetation of every
nature. Occasionally parts of small
buildings and debris of all varieties
is in evidence.
One of the points of vantage from
which the flood area can be seen is
the Washington Monument. AS we
passed the Monument rows of people
were standing in line waiting for an
opportunity to go to the top. Many of
them were holding umbrellas to pro-
tect themselves from constant show
ers.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1936-03-26

1t is said that during the flood of
1889, that part of the city between
Constitution and Pennsylvania ave-
nues from 5th to 18th street was
flooded to a depth of several feet.
In order to prevent this, thousands
of workmen are working night and
day to build emergency levees or
bikes. Steam shovels are tearing up
portions of the Park between the Lin
coin Memorial and the Washington
Monument and the dirt is being uti-
lized to build retaining walls. Thous-
ands of sand bags piled up to hold
back the water give the city war
time aspect.

Although considerable damage is be-
Washington, the brunt of the flood
loss will be occasioned in Pennsyl-
vania where the rivers flow in close
ly walled valleys and have no low
lands over which they can spread.
The business districts of Pittsburgh,
YOUNGSTOWN, Cumberland and other CT
ties are located in the valleys where
they are easily reached by record
floods such as the present one.

1t is expected that the height of the
flood will be reached at 1880 (Thurs-

come in into Chesapeake Bay and
back up the Potomac to it's highest
level.

Has UnempIoy-
ment Compensation

WASHINGTON, D. c. November
12.-Texas today joined the group
of States having unemployment
compensation laws the Social Sc
curity Board announced. The Board
was notified that the law, passed
yesterday by the legislature, was
signed this afternoon by Governor
Alfred. This brings to sixteen the
number of States providing for the
payment of unemployment benefits
not on a basis of need, but as an
earned right-to employees who
lose their jobs.
The Texas law will cover approx
mately a million workers. The law
follows the terms of the Social Sc
curity Act in its coverage Of en-
ployers of eight or more, and pro-
vides for the usual exemptions, such
as agricultural labor and domestic
servants in homes. In addition to
that, it exempts insurance agents
whose compensation is received on
a commission basis.
The law is of the pooled-fund
type, providing for a merit rating in
1871. The law provides taxes for
employers amounting to g of l per
cent for 1886; 1.8 per cent for 1881
and 81 per cent for 1888, 1899, 1916
and thereafter a merit rating.
There is no tax on the employees
in the Texas unemployment com.
pensation law. The benefits under
the law will be half of the EN-.
ployee's wages up to $500 a week
to a maximum of Is weeks. Pay.
ments will be made after a waiting
period of two weeks.
The law will be administered by
a commission of three appointed by
the Governor.
