An appeal to President Roosevelt to

representatives of 15 coastal cities in

The resolution asked that the weath-

AUSTIN, Aug. 6. The automatic
tax board today fixed the 1934 ad
valorem tax rate at the constitutional
maximum, 77 cents per $100 valua-
tion. Tiie general revenue fund was
allotted 3 Scents, the available school
fund 35 cents and the Confederate
pension fund 7 cents.
The board calculated a rate of 60.1
cents per $100 would be necessary to
pay the amount needed by the general
revenue fund and 35.5 cents by the
available school fund.
"A review of the condition of the
funds . . . shows a marked improve-
ment over the condition at the close

Reduction of the deficit in the
available school fund from $7,7040,00
on August 31, 1933 to $7035.67.02 on
August 31, 1935, was estimated by the
board. All of the 1934 apportionment
of $16 per student but $2 had been
paid. The board estimated all but 45
cents of the 1934-35 apportionment
would be paid by the end of the fis-
cal year in 1935. The rate of 1935,
however, was fixed at $1650.
Estimated deficits by years in the

never regained consciousness and
concern is felt about her condition.
When asked about the wreck by
this reporter Mr. Insall stated:
"We were driving about thirty miles
an hour west of Markham about eight
o’clock last night. A large truck was
in front of us and I trailed the truck
for about a mile. I finally decided I
would pass it and started around the
truck but saw a car coming toward
me. I turned back behind the truck
and continued to trail it. Again I
started around the truck and again I
saw a car coming. Again I turned
back. The third time I started around
I could see no car and speeded up to
pass the truck, which I judge was go-
ing about thirty miles an hour. Be-
fore I had passed the truck a car
loomed up in front of me running
without lights. The car was Mr. Mill-
er's of the Miller Dairy.”
Neither Mr. Insall nor Mr. Miller was
hurt. A car from Palacios picked up

McDonald said a poll of his sup-

Five wanted McDonald to remain

“The jig's up with Jimmie, because
it's time for Tom," McDonald said.
He added that his “own personal
choice is Hunter, because I am a
neighbor and have practiced law with
both Hunter and Allred for years, and
there is no comparison from the stand-

It seems that farmers will be delayed

A resolution to be addressed to
President Roosevelt asking for bet-

Texas coast probably will be for-
warded tomorrow, according to F.
Leslie Body, general manager of the
Galveston Chamber of Commerce:
The resolution is the result of ac-
tion on the part of representatives of
Texas coastal cities, in session here
last week.
Yesterday Mr. Body and Congress-
man Clark W. Thompson conferred
on the resolution, to which will be
attached as a preamble a detailed re-
port of actual storm damage to the
Texas coast in the recent hurricane.
Congressman Thompson will accom-
pany Congressman J. J. Mansfield to
Brenham this week for a conference
with Congressman Buchanan, chair-
man of the house appropriations com-
mittee, in the hope of getting the new
service for the present hurricane sea-
son.
Yesterday Mr. Body talked to sev-
eral other Texas solons by telephone
in the interest of the resolution.
Copies of the resolution also will
be sent to weather committees of
other chambers of commerce and
Texas coast cities urging them to write
their congressman and to the presi-
dent.
A quiet county convention was held
last Saturday at which delegates to
the State Democratic Convention were
elected.
Matagorda County will send ten
delegates to go to Galveston on Sep-

advised by Gus Silberisen, who with
other friends sponsored the dance to
raise money to purchase stoves and
other necessaries for storm sufferers
at Sargent that their sole idea was to
help the destitute, and that they did
not authorize the advertisement “that
it was for he Red Cross." The money
was turned over to Mrs. Thos, H.
Lewis, and all of it was used for this
purpose.
We are glad to make this statement
as to the misunderstanding, and we
are pleased to announce that Gus and
his friends are willing to stage a street
dance for Red Cross. The details of
which will be announced in a few

By MARK L. GOODWIN, in Dallas News
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—Demands are already being
formulated for repeal of the Bankhead cotton control law
which is being placed in operation with the current cotton
crop, at the next session of Congress. Because of drouth con-
ditions and what is termed difficulties in administration,
bankers, business men and farmers are asking their Con-
gressmen to petition the President for suspension of the law.
It develops that operation of the law is mandatory this
year but its application next year will be discretionary. Pe-
titions are being gathered in Southern States for presenta-
tion to President Roosevelt when he returns to Washington
for suspension of the law this year. Litigation is being for-
mulated to test the constitutionality of the act.
The law is applicable to only two crop years, the present
one and the 1935-36 crop. It may be operated next year only;
if it is approved by two-thirds of the cotton growers. The
agricultural adjustment administration, having enforcement
of the law, has not taken steps to conduct the referendum.
If the present temper of the producers keeps up, it will be de-
feated overwhelmingly.

RUTHERFORD DRILLING COM-
PANY BUILDING DERRICK
1700 FEET OF COBB NO. 1.
Important and definite steps have
been taken this week toward the re-
sumption of drilling activities in the
Skelly field four miles northeast of
Bay City.
The Rutherford Drilling Company
is setting up derrick on location 1700
feet distant from Cobb No. 1, which
was brought in several weeks ago.
This is understood to mean that from
now on an active drilling campaign
will be carried on.
Some eight or ten big trucks load-
ed with oil drilling machinery arrived
in Bay City today and was sent to
the field.
Skelly recently completed a pipe-
line some two miles long, to railroad
loading racks at Chalmers, on the
Santa Fe, from Cobb No. 1 The oil
from this well is of high gravity and
is separated at the well from a tre-
mendous amount of gas as the mix-
ture comes from the well.
It is reported the gas from this orig-
inal well will be used as fuel for fu-
ture drilling.
A great deal of interest has been
aroused by these late developments.
