LANDON STUDIES DROUGHT AIDPLAN Experience of ’34 Helps Tide Kansas Over, Gov- ernor Says. B7 the Associated Press. TOPEKA, Kans, July 27--Plans for emergency aid to drought- stricken Kansas counties were studied . by Gov. Alf M. Landon and his aides today while out-of-town visitors waited to see the presidential candi- date on the national political and eco- nomic outlook. Landon told newsmen two drought decisions were reached: To renew a request to the railroads for emer- gency rates on the movement of feed, cattle and water-pumping equipment and to borrow water-pumping equip- ment from oil companies. “One thing that is helping tide Kansas over this particular crisis is the experience learned in 1934,” Lan- don told reporters. “First, as a re- sult of the 1934 drought farmers are baling more straw. Also as part of the 1934 emergency relief organi- zation I sold Hopkins (Harry L. Hop- kins, head of the Emergency Relief Administration) and his men the idea of constructing farm ponds. These @re being a big help.” Farm Ponds Completed. State officials said 1,100 farm ponds have now been completed. “Are these the same kind of ponds that President Roosevelt is talking about on a national scale?” a reporter asked. “Well, plied. “Are you going to ask for Federal help?” “These are all things we can do our- selves as we did before,” the Re- publican nominee said. In addition to State officials, the drought conference was attended by H. L. Collins, Agriculture Department statistician for Kansas. While the drought conference was in progress, Col. Leonard P. Ayres, I imagine so,” Landon re- vice president of the Cleveland Trust | Co., and Dr. Benjamin M. Anderson, economist for the Chase National Bank, were waiting to confer with Landon. Both are prominent business analysts. In reply to questions, *business is so good in spots it ap- | proaches boom conditions.” DON’T “Thou Shalt Nots” for Capital’s Citizens. ‘HE Commissioners are jealous in- deed of the District’s street light- ing. They may not make loud boasts about the quality of the lighting in some streets, but if you attempt to outshine the Commissioners by in- salling bigger and better lights the odds are you will bump into trouble. You must remember that the chances are the front portion of your | lawn is “public space” and belongs to the District. To erect a private lamp post there you must have a permit. This post may not have a diameter of more than 18 inches and must be of an approved single-light More important is the rule that the wattage of the lamp must not ex- ceed the wattage established for pub- lic street lamps in the vicinity. Pri- vate lamps exceeding 100 candle- power, or if electric, 75 watts in ca- pacity, will be allowed only when not adjacent to or in front of property zoned or used as residential. For violation of this code you could be fined as much as $300. FOUND. Ayres said | THE EVENING Hall for G. W.
