NEW YORK, July 23.—Further discouragement by
holders of railroad shares became reflected in a heavy
selling movement on the stock exchange at mid-session to-
days and priees-were smashed fractions to-almost points.
The selling accompanied ikqui-
dation in cotton and grains and
a drive against second grade rail-
road bonds. -
On the stock exchange, a vast
* number or rails touched new lows
led by New York Central which
1 toppled to 2212, off 21 points.
%. In the industrial list chief
weakness apparently settled in
Steel issues, accompanying the
American Iron & Steel Institute s
report of reduced operations this
week, with both U. S. Steel and
Bethlehem at new lows for the
year. U. S. touched 36%. ofY

28 %. off 1%. Volumes picked

BY THOMAS L. STOKES.
WASHINGTON, July 23, —
There are two ways to pay the
bill for economic recovery—in-
creased, taxation, and inflation.
The Administration has chosen
the tax method, while using a
mild dose of inflation thru dollar
devaluation and silver purchases
to boost commodity prices and
shave down private indebtedness.
President Roosevelt in setting
up the recovery agencies, banked
on the willingness of the people
to pay the cost later as improving
business puts money back into
their pockets. He has found a

Quintennial Congress of the Bap-
tist World Alliance Aug. 4.
Reverend White will invite the

May Expect Higher Taxes
So we will find the next Con-
gress preparing to meet the cost
of recovery by increasing taxes.
Republicans are complaining
about the cost. Generally they
accepted the necessity of econo-
mic stimulants and voted for
them in Congress. For political
purposes some of their spokes-
men now are taking a different
tack, in, effect repudiating the
judgment of Republicans in House
and Senate. ‘
When they were in power they
found the American people will-
ing to pay the cost of a foreign
war. The bright star in the crown

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., July
23.—The kidnaping of Charles F.
Urschel—the crime that led to the
first organized federal drive
against the “snatch racket”——was
perpetrated a year ago last night.
Today 16 men and women, con-
victed on charges in connection
with the case that aroused the
nation against kidnapers, are serv-
ing time in federal prisons. red-
eral agents still are attempting to
unravel all the particulars of the
crime, including the whereabouts
of approximately $80,000 of the
ransom money.
Leaders of the kidnaping outfit
were • George • (Machine Gun)

AUSTIN, July 23.—Reductions
in the oil allowables ordered for
certain fields in Texas were rec-
ommended by expert witnesses at
a statewide oil hearing before the
Railroad Commission today.
Gordon Griffin, commission pe-
treleum engineer, recommended
that East Texas’ daily output be
reduced to 400,000 barrels daily,
the most efficient point from the
standpoint of physical waste.
Production from 13,900 wells
in the field now aggregates 470,-
000 barrels daily. Mr. Griffin last
week completed potential tests in
East Texas, begun July 5. Sixty-
nine wells were tested, 19 reject-
ed for incompleteness.
The survey indicated a decrease
in the potential of individual wells
averaging approximately 10 per
cent. He estimated the total field
potential probably has decreased
between 20 and 25 per cent.
The commission must reduce
the state’s total allowable oil out-
put of approximately 1,037,000
barrels by 35,700 barrels daily in
order to come down to the federal
limit of 1,001,300 barrels daily as-
signed Texas by Oil Administrator
Ickes.
The commission took under ad-
visement a suggestion by R. E.
Hardwicke, Fort Worth, that defs
inite dates be assigned for hear-
ings on potential tests in the East
Texas field. All grievances by
operators over well classifications
shown on the field’s contour map
would be heard at such hearings.
Petroleum Engineer Griffin
agreed the suggestion would
prove beneficial to both operators
and the commission’s East Texas
forces.
