TAX PUBLICITY
REPEAL FINDS
NEW OBSTACLE
WASHINGTON, March 14.—(AV
The tax question, with the related
Issue of division of wealth, bobbed,
dp la the senate Thursday to block j
the way of the house resolution to
repeal the “pink slip” income tax
publicity law.
Two proposals for raising tbs
taxes on toe rich were penning In {
the senate as riders to the "pink i
slip” resolution and more were on
the way. They are pu&ned by mem- I
bars who say Income should ue dis
tributed more evenly.
Senator's favoring repeal of the
•■pink slip” law ooneeded the rev
enue Issue placed a serious obstacle 1
14 the way ol quick action on their
proposal, and might result In Its
^Kiough the “pink slip” repeal
shppea through the finance com-1
mittee with little trouble, after a
test vote of 14 to 7. leaders of bom
sides of the controversy concede a it
would face a tougher fight in the
senate.
The two revenue measures al
ready offered as riders to the income
tax measure were presented by
Senators Cousens iR-MJcm and La
Follette (Prog-Wls).
Oouaens seeks a graduated ex-!
eess profits tax on corporations,
which he estimates would yield
9335. .00.000 He would put a tax
ranging from five to 40 per cent on
ptotlte above eight per cent.
La Follette is trying to increase
income taxes all along the line, but
chiefly on the wealtny. His amend
ment would lower personal exemp
tions from $1,000 to $800 for single
persons and from $2,500 to $2,000 lor
families.
He would also boost the normal
rate from four to six per cent and
raise the surtax rates, from a range
on one to 59 per cent to a scale rang
ing from six to 71 per cent.

43rd Flowing Well
Is Brought in At
Samfordyce Field
(Special to The Herald!
MISSION. March 14.—Another
new flowing well was added to pro
duction In Hidalgo county’s Sarn
fordyce field. 20 miles west of Mis-,
sion Wednesday, the third comple
tion in three days and the 43rd
flowing well in the field. In addi
tion to the completion, two tests
are waiting on cement prior to
drilling in, another Is cleaning and
a fourth Is coring for the sand.
King-Woods Oil company, drill
ers of the field’s discovery well
last September, brought in the
field's 43rd flowing producer, their
No. 1-B John Lawrence, five
months and three weeks to the day
after completion of the discovery
well. The test made an estimated
20 barrels per hour on 3-16 Inch
tubing choke with equalized pres
sures of 150 pounds on both casing
and tubing. The test logged «as
sand at 2.767-73 feet and satura
tion. beneath a shale streak, at
2.773-75 feet. The completion Is
about 1.500 feet east and slightly
*outh of discovery In the dlscoverv
drying block and on the south
edge of production.
The next comoletion is due im
mediately. It will be Reserve De

tract 256. porcion 38. about 2.700
feet northwest of discovery'. It is
cleaning slowly on 1-8 inch tubing
choke, no pressures showing thus
far. Saturated sand was logged at
2.755-62 feet, neither upper gas sand
nor a shale break being cored.
At the northwest extremity of the
field and offering the probability
of a 600 to 700-foot extension of
production. Skelly Oil Company’s

The test showed for production
from the upper Samfordyce sand,
normally a gas sand in most other
sections of the producing area,
when it showed 2.000 feet of oil and
80 pounds ggs pressure In a six.
minute drill stem test. Coring deep
er. it picked up the saturation at
2.797-2.800 feet, and drill stem test
of this sand showed 2.288 feet of

JOHNSON HAS
WAR TAX PLAN
NEW YORK. March 14. —(*V
Elimination of at least 90 per oeni
of all war profits la urged by Gen
eral Hugh 8. Johnson with the as
sertion that the munitions makers'
profit motive for war compares
"as a green pea to the known
globe'’ to that of “the citizenry."
“If you wan tto avert war by re
moving prpfits as a cause.” he says
in an article in the American mag
azine. “you are not even skimming
the surface when you begin to cry
havoc about what peacetime muni
tions makers have done.
“It makes swell reading. It is a
fine political tom-tom, but it is Just
bunk and ballyhoo.”
Turning from the field of peace
time industrial control, the form
er NRA administrator calls for a
law giving the president authority
in wartime to fix “every price in
the whole national pattern" at Its
pre-war level.
Simultaneously effective, he pro
poses “a federal tax of not less
than 90 per cent on any increase
of war profits over peace profits”
on every business operated for
profit.
These two measures. Johnson says,
“offer the greatest single advance
toward peace and toward American
effectiveness for defense that has
been made in our genration."
The price-fixation plan, he points
out. is that sponsored by Bernard
M. Baruch He declares it is “very
likely” that it will be passed at
this session of congress.
“Only the great industrial na
tions can possibly prevail in long,
drawn-out modern war.” Johnson
says. "You can count them on the
fingers of your hand: Britain. Ger
many. France, Japan and America
"Italy does not even have its own
coaL Russia has men and nothing
more.”
Johnson criticizes the "shocking
methods of munitions makers in
hawk.ng their wares.” then adds
"there are two far more powerful
incentives.”
