AUSTIN, Feb. 27—<JP>—Peniten-
tiary reorganization faced a big
play iodny in both branches of the
legislative.
The house had set for special or-
der the bill by Rep. Harry N.
Graves of Georgetown, which would
renovate, improve and enlarge exist-
without
AUSTIN. Feb. 27—(A*)—Further
consideration of the proposed tax
on natural gas aas today's program
of the house committee on revenue
and taxation after It had heart a
number of opponents of the measure
last night without talcing any action.
The committee decided at midnight
to adjourn subject to the call of Its
chairman, with the understanding
he would arrange with the speaker
for a bouse recess which would al-
low the hearing to continue late
today.
Opponents of the tax who repre-
sented producers and consumers of
gas. both domestic and industrial
were heard, but a number still re-
mained. including a large delega-
tion from around Amarillo.
Announcement that 4* members of
the legislature had signed a resolu-
tion calling for sine die adjourn-
ment an Saturday made commit-
tee members anxious to pass out the
bill before that date, and Ha op-
ponents equally as anxious that it
be carried over until next week in
hope that the legislators would have
all gone home by that time
The fact that a bearing on the
proposed tobacco tax was sch-duled
sfor tonight prevented continuation
of the tax hearing until then.
State runty Ad
Under the utility act, natural gas
taxes paid to the state amounted
to 9128.406 28 In 1928. with the esti-
mated yield for 1926 fixed at $90.-
000. according to Rep. Phil Sanders
of Maqbgdoches, author of one of.
the bills.
J. C. Strong, county Judge of
Panola county, said the Sanders tax
would loree gas producers In this
county to close down their wells,
thereby depriving them of approxi-
mately 81.000.000 per year. He said
"120 Texas counties are broke * and
his county would be broke also with-
out the sd valorem taxes from the
gas wells.
I John C. Harris, finance commis-
sioner bf the city of Dallas. ‘ de-
clared any tax would be passed on
to the consumer in the form of in-
creased rates, and added the two
cent provision of the Sanders tax
would add 215^000 annually to the 1
domestic gas b.:i of Dallas, with I
an automatic ibuse in rates, under !
franchise provisions, within two,

ville.
The senate planned to try to un-
tangle a parliamentary pussle that
overwhelmed It after it had failed
to pass to engrossment the bill by
Senator W. D. McFarlane of ara-
ha m. proposing rehabilitation of ex-
isting properties. •
Moved by Witt
SenatOi Edgar Witt of Waco had
moved to take up the bill by Sena-
tor J. W. E. H. Beck of De Kalb,
proposing centralization around an
industrial plant within ten miles of
Austin. Senator Tom Pollard of
Tyler raised a point of order that
the Beck bill had been killed inso-
far as this session was concerned
when it failed of substitution for
the McFarlane bill. The vote on
the Beck Mil as a substitute was a
tie, hence It lost under the rules.
When the senate adjourned. Sena-
tor J. C. Greer of Athena had pro-
posed reconsidering the vote by
which the McFarlane measure was
not engrossed If. by some turn, the
vote khouid be reconsidered and the
McFarlane bill passed out, changes
for enacting the governor's cen-
tralization plan would be extremely
slim.
"Ounpromlse Draft"
When the Graves bill was called
in the house a group composed of
Speaker W. S. Baron of Bryan and
Representative Ray Holder of Lan-
caster and Phil Sanders of Nacog-
doches proposed a “compromise

OKLAHAMA CITY. Feb. 27—bT)
—Hope for further postponement
of approval by the United States
Supreme Court of the report of
surveyors on the western Oklahoma
boundary, until some definite action
can be taken by the legislatures of
Oklahoma and Texas, grew brighter
today with receipt of a telegram by
Berry King, attorney general, from
the clerk of the court, asking the
status of the boundary litigation.
The report of the location of the
one hundredth meridian boundary
line by engineers who made a re-
survey has been placed before the
Supreme Court for approval If
adopted by the court. 25.200 acres
now in Oklahoma will go to Texas,
and title to property In the district
will become questionable.
In October. 1929. the Supreme
Court agreed to postpone final ap-
proval of the report until February
24 so that the legislatures of the two
states might make a settlement.
Oklahoma's offer of 8150.000 was
rejected by the Texans, and the
Texas legislature recently voted to
allow the Q -reme Court to con-
clude the case.
King, on February 24 expected im-
mediate approval on transfer of the
territory to Texas, but he wax ad-
vised yesterday that the only action
taken by the court was to allow the
expenses of the surveyors.
King telegraphed W. W. Hastings,
Oklahoma congressman, asking him
to prevail upon the court to defer
final action until the Texas legisla-
ture can consider and act squarely
upon Oklahoma’s proposal which
we hold to bs Mir.
In a talsgram to Oovernor W. J.
Holloway, who will arrive in Wash-
lngton today to urge an oil tariff,
the attorney general suggested that
Hastings and the Oovernor go to
the dart, advising him the Teas*
legislature now la tk special seeMsn
and has not yet pamed finally upon
Oklahoma’s proposal for a reim-
bursement.
