AUSTIN, Feb. 28.—Prob-
ability that there would be
n<» tax placed on natural gaa
production by the present
Legislature was seen today
after adjournment of the
House committee on revenue
and taxation subject to the
call of the chairman.
Producers who had been present
at committee hearings this week
were excused with the assurance
that no such tax would be placed
upon them without an opportunity
to present further testimony, and
no date as to when that testimony
would be requested was set.
Representative Phil Saunders of
Nacogdoches, author of the bill to
tax producers cm a graduated scale,
announced that while he still
thought Lt possible a small tax be
placed cn natural gas possibly on
the producer, he was convinced the
rates tn his present bill were too
high.
May Compromise
With Japanese
LONDON, Feb 28. -Tlie American
and Japanese delegations this mor-
ning continued active efforts to
reach an agreement on differences
between them, and it w«s understood
the conversations were pending to-
ward compromise.
Unofficial observers gathered tlie
imiression there was the possibility
that the American and British con-
cession might be giving Japan the
right to be allowed to retain a great-
er proportion of submarines in re-
laMon to the United State* and
of every three Mt.tbRjqplMM Stet* MOBM umUr
mperature In a sharp cut in their total l. ■a«F
tor eubcnereible*. On the other
hand Japan would be asked to re-
duce her demand for a 70 per cent
sruiser ratio. ------------
Japs Want Rabe
It was pointed out that the Japan-
ese had steadfastly maintained since
^he opening of the conference, that/
undersea craft formed an import-
ant part of her fleet, and hence
that she might be willing to make
concessions in other categories in
order to secure a desired strength
in submarines . _
made It clear they have no desire
for the Japanese delegation to re-
turn to Tokyo dissatisfied with the
agreement. Hence, the recent con-
versation between Senator David A.
Reed and Ambassador Mateudalra
of Japan have been along lines ex-
ploring the whole xfield of both Am-
erican and Japanese proposals in
order to secure the most agreeable
arrangement to each.

and principally upon his project of
centralizing the system near Aus-

"If no prison legislation is gain-

May Tax Distributors
It appeared likely, from expres-
stoM ot Individual committee mam----
bers, that if any gas tax was levied
this session, it would be upon the
distributors. Members had been im-
pressed by the large spread between
the price of gas at the wells and
the cost to the consumer, and so
far thts spread had not been ex-
plained They pointed out. however,
that the distributor* had not been
heard and that they might be able
to explain It so as to avoid a tax
Small operators from the Pan-
handle and other West Texas fields a *
testified today The gist of their tes-
timony was that the proposed tax
would add so much to the heavy
burden of the small producer that
he would be forced out of business.
