He asked each national committee- man to make individual recommen- dations for the 1932 platform and give “particular” attention tg prohibition. Once more ‘he advanced his home Tule plan as what he believes to bea sdlutién of Hquor questions. Then, onswering accusations that he was attempting to dictate to the party, he recalled the last Democratic conven- tion charged the national committee of which he is chairman with making “recommendations of policies or pro- cedure for the consideration of the convention.” It,was with this instruction in mind, he said, that he called the re- cent national committee meeting at which he advanced the home rule plan and other suggestions. “Whether we like it or not,” he wrote, “prohibition is a critical ques- tion in many of our states.” The voters, he asserted, will sup- port the party “whose policies and conduct appeal to them as being sin- cere, honest, courageous, best guar- anteeing the preservation of our democracy and promoting freedom and happiness as against a life of tyranny and strife.” Asks Simple Platform “If this line of thought is sound, the Democratic party ‘can profit therefrom through the adoption of a platform which will enunciate simply ‘and clearly, without equivocation and in language a 14-year-old child can understand, the principles it proposes and promises to enforce in the con- duct of our government if its can- didates are elected, Raskob added. “If the Democratic party is inter- ested only in winning one election, it | in might be argued with a great deal of force that we should avoid or strad- dle all controversial issues and resort | ings to every expediency to gain votes. Not: through courageous leadership on our own part but through promoting dis- satisfaction with the Republican par- ty in every conceivable way.” ‘The .4,000-word letter also dealt with Raskob’s suggestions regarding tariff, business, farm relief, unem- ployment, the . five-day week and Public utilities. But he saw prohibition as the out- standing question on which the party should come to “a common and defi- nite understanding.” Admitting a difference between the “dry attitude of the party in the south” and the “liberal attitude of the arty in the‘north,” he said prohibi- tion is, perhaps, a “dangerous com- plication.” Discounts. Supposed Peril -“How silly it must be for the Dem- ocratic party to disregard the prohi- bition issue because of its proposed peril.” His home rule plan—which would call for retention of the 18th amend- stitutional change gi trol of liquor—is, to his mind, prob- ably the best solution, he said, but added: “Perhaps some of you may have a better solution.” “It is important that our friends in the dry states clearly understand,” he wrote, that home rule could not become effective until “a msjority of people in 36 out of the 48 states vote in favor of such amendment.” “any man or woman, honest and sincere in the belief that a majority of the people in the United rs Eg gs people in 36 states ment would continue brisiness ago, Sunday at his CONVICTION OF OL MAN FOR CONTEMPT AFFIRMED BY COURT Refused to Return From Europe to Testify Against Fall and Sinolair Washington, April 6—(?)—The District of Columbia court of appeals affirmed the conviction of Harry M.

Senator Watson of Indiana—Re- publican floor leader—said: “I am opopsed to any further tax- ation because I don’t think it is nec- essary under existing conditions.” Senator Norris, Nebraska, an Inde- pendent Republican leader, asserted while he would not object toanin- applied in inheritance taxes and on the higher brackets, or larger in- comes.” Senator Harris, Georgia, ranking Democrat on the senate appropri- ations committee, said: ‘T am to. Senator Bing- ham’s plan in toto.” ‘\ Representative LaGuardia, New York, a house Independent leader, there would be an increase, but added: “There will be no lowering of the present tax exemption and that is just as certain as day follows night. The tax increases in the next con- gress will be such that Senator Bing- ham and his half dozen in the senate surely will vote against.” Bingham’s proposal was the first in discussions of the approaching $700,- 000,000 deficit to suggest tax demands be made on smaller incomes. Some legislators have said they would fa- vor ine the levies on bigger incomes while leaders of both and in both houses have ‘insisted greater ‘taxes will not be necessary. Others have admitted that any agi- tation for a tax increase.

Man Says: “A clean distillate with little ér no Sulfur is just as good a fuel as kero- sene, providing the tractor engine will handle it without knocking,” says H. F. McColly, agricultural engineer of the North Dakota agricultural ex- Periment station. “If it is dirty it may gum up the needle valve with tar and foul the combustion cham- ber, If the distillate contains much sulfur trouble is bound to result.” Sulfur in the distillate is injurious to the motor because in the combus- tion process some of it is turned into dilute sulfuric acid. This acid cor- rodes the highly polished iron and steel parts and has been known to ruin an engine in about 100 hours of running. “The trouble can be minimized if not entirely avoided by the use of the ventilated crankcase. If the water vapor is removed constantly from the crankcase together with other fumes of combustion, the oil will not be- come contaminated, and the destruc- tive acid does not gather in the crankcase. Ordinary crankcase breathers should not be confused with ventilators. Usually ventilators have some action forcing ventilation. “Another item is that of lubrication. Fresh’ oil lubricating systems are less likely to contaminated with the acid, as used oil is.not re- turned to the case,” states Mc- Colly. Successful tractor operation on dis- tillate requires that the engine be thoroughly -warmed up before using this fuel as it is harder to vaporize than gasoline and kerosene. VOTE FOR 8. 8.
