STATE SAFETY COMMISSION

ctivities of all state agencies dealing
nth the problem of highway safety,
S a positive means of lessening

ents, Garrison P. Knox, Manager o.

In letter to the Governor Mr..

1.-THE problem of increased public

with due respect to the agencies

EROSION CONTROL STRUCTURES
REQUIRE MAINTENANCE CARE

Structures being put into effect for
erosion control in demonstration
areas in Maryland call for proper
maintenance, just the same as other
structures on the farm, according to
o. c. Bruce, State Coordinator for
the Soil Conservation Service in this
state. He advises farmers having
any questions about the maintenance
of erosion control structures to con-
suit their county agent of the Exten-
sion Service, or if they are located
near one of the demonstration areas
at Boonsboro, Harwood and White
Hall, the technical force of the local
project will be glad to help.
Terrace bottoms should be kept
clear in winter, Mr.. Bruce says. He
warns that driving across these ter
races when they are filled with snow
may compact the snow and form an
ice or snow dam which will require
cutting out when the spring thaw
comes. Drifts of snow sometimes
form across terraces or outlets, he
states, and a terrace should be kept
open for the water traffic it has to
handle.
Bruce points out that gully dams
should be inspected each spring as
the frost goes out. If the soil has
settled behind them or around the
ends, it should be tamped and
brought up to the proper level. II
the dam is of the loose stone type,
stones heaved by the frost or moved
by spring runoff should be replaced
and wedged in.
Terrace outlets are subject also to
heaving whenever they are paved
with stone. They should be inspect
ed in the spring to make certain thai
freezing and thawing during the
winter months have not caused dam
age. Where outlets are sodded,
little tamping or rolling will repair
the damage.
"If you have spreader boards or
logs on the fields to break the forCa
of running water" says Mr.. Bruce,
inspect them in the spring. Unless
the stakes holding them down are
driven below the frost line, they are
likely to heave." Very little trouble
is encountered, he states, when 500
strips can be used instead of spread
er boards.

TIGHTER CURB ON POLITICAL
OUTLAY URGED
Senate Committee Reports Political
Parties Spent $48,OOO,OOO
In Election

ANASSNA~AA
Senate investigators, reporting that
as much as $4S,0O0,000 may have
been spent in the last Presidential
campaign, urge Congress to clamp
new restrictions on political expendi-
lures.
In its final report the Senate cam
paign expenditures committee reveal
ed that it had traced disbursement of
S23,973,329 by candidates and politi-
cal organizations.
Untabulated expenditures by indl-
viduals and local groups, is asserted,
would perhaps double this total.
Expenses of the Republican Ma
tional Committee and its related or
CARNATIONS reached $14,19S,2O2, the
investigators disclosed, while the cor
responding Democratic units spent
$9,228,4O6.
In the 1886 campaign-more than
twice as costly as any other on record
an average of 81 cents was spent
for every vote cast.
The most expensive previous cam
paign was in 1928, when the two ma
jor parties together spent only $11,-
$4,000.
-Four Recommendation Made
Citing four major weaknesses IN
the present election laws, the COM
mittee, headed by Senator Lonergan
(Dem., Conn., recommended:
1. Prohibition Of political contri-
buttons by labor unions or any other
organization whose aims or purposes
are the furtherance of group, class
or special interests"
2. A new act to prevent "the in
auencing of voters through fear, in
.imidation or coercion.
8. A Qualification of the Thanking
laws, rigidly defining how Federal Of
details may exercise their free use of
the mails.
4. "a uniform system Of account
ing" for all national political organi
sations, to eliminate complexities
md confusion"
In suggesting restrictions on cam
paign donations by labor unions, the
committee noted that such organiza-

velt's reelection.
1t pointed out that in order to pre-
vent influencing of legislation" cor
porations have been forbidden to
spend money for political purposes,
and added that "the same reasoning
applies" to labor groups.
The investigation-one of the most
exhaustive ever undertaken-includ-
ed questioning of the 3,240 individu-
ais who donated $500 or more each.
Replies from the 1000 who filed
out the missionaries showed that
,ixty-three per cent of these big con-
tributors "were in some way aff1liat-
ed with corporations"
The largest family donation was
made by the dupont family, Wilm-
ington, Del, chemical manufacturers,
.welve of whom contributed more
than 100000.
Republican expenditures averaged
IS cents for each ballot cast for Al
fred M. Landon, while the average
Democratic vote cost 33 cents. The
lowest cost per vote was II cents,
reported by the Union party.
