from the party Of the first part.
w. J. Erwin, 1t seems, had occasion
q few days since to journey far into
the southwestern confines of Grady

journey and nightfall found him
twenty miles away from chickasha, a

him for a place wherein to lodge for

Squirting his cayuse, Mr., Erwin ap-
preached the cottage at canter and

brought the "man of the house" to the
door, sweet odors of frying bacon and

lation to which he was friendly and
use his authority and power toward
defeating bills to which he was op-
posed
Says He Despises Man.
Il despise a man who will use his
authority when presiding as chair
man of the committee of the whole
to force through legislation to which
he is friendly and then try to de-
feat measures to which he is OPP
posed" declared Representative Ball.
Mr. Ball declared that he had en-
deavored to work as a member Of
the house toward keeping down dis
sention or dissatisfaction, but he
declared he would not submit to si-
lence longer "to railroadng bills
through this house"
1t was stated by Mr.. Ball that he
talked with Speaker McCrory in a
downtown hotel Sunday night and
protested at that time against nam
ing of anyone as chairman of the
committee Of the whole, who was
"given to steam roller methods" At
that time Mr.. Durant was mentioned
he said.
He charged that Monday which was
the last time the good roads bill was
under consideration, Speaker Nc
Crory left the chair while the house
was still in session in order that Mr.
Durant could succeed him for the
time being as speaker, and designate
a chairman of the committee of the
whole Mr.. Durant named Repre-
sentative Ben F. Harrison of Hughes
county, who was friendly to the good
roads bill and who also did some
"railroading" according to Ball.
First Discordant Note.
This is the first showing of discord
that has come to the surface in the
workings of the house organization
during the present session. 1t is
contended by several members that
the rules already provide that the
committee may name its own chair
man.
The house completed consideration
of the general revenue bill in COM
mittee of the whole, and the measure
is now ready for third and final pas
sage In substance it is the same
measure passed by the Legislature
two years ago, but which was de-
clared invalid by decision of the
supreme court, which held that the
last legislature adjourned on July l
instead of July 5. The bill failed
for the reason that it was not passed
five days before adjournment as re
quired by the constitution.
The bill levies a gross production
tax of 2 per cent on oil and gas,
one-half of which will be paid to the
state and the other half to the credit
of the common school fund of the
county in which it is collected. The
main fight on the bill was made by
representatives of the counties in the
oil belt against this feature. This
tax is levied in lieu of all other
taxes on oil and gas property, and "a
a result of which, it is alleged, sew
eral of the big oil counties will lose
heavily.
Present Laws Provisions.
The present law provides gross
production tax of one-half OF l per
cent on production, and leaves all
property used in connection with the
production of oil and gas subject to
taxation on an ad valorem basis.

WILL TEACH
Av|ATORS To
STAY IN AIR
DALLAS YOUTH GOES TO ENG
LAND TO TEACH kiTCHENER'S
AvIATORS HOW TO STAY STAB
IlIZED IN AIR.

The Dallas News says it has fallen
to the lot of a Dallas boy, the son
of a Dallas lawyer, to teach the Eng
lish ayiators, now in Lord Kitchen
er's aviation corps, how to stay in the
air, even though their machines are
literally shot to pieces by German ri
flemen.
Morris NJ. Titterington, % years old,
has sailed on the Adriatic for Lon
don. He sailed Wednesday, Feb. 10.
at noon, according to a telegram to
his father G. A. Titterington, Cliff
View, Dallas. From Liverpool, Mr.
Titterington will go to London and it
is possible he will go from there to
the different English military camps
along the firing line.
Young Mr.. Titterington is a gradu-
ate of an electrical school at Wash
ington, d. c., and for the last six
months has been employed by the
Sperry Gyroscope Company, Brooklyn,
in perfecting device known to the
mechanical world as "stabilizer.
This device has for mission to
keep aeroplanes from turning over
when flying The invention has at
tracted the English war department
and the Dallas boy has been sent
for by Winston Churchill to instruct
the English aviators in the use of it,
and also to superintend the building
of it in English shops. The device
must be built in England, as the sale
of it by an American corporation to
warning nation would be viola
ton of international law.
Bomb throwing from aeroplanes in
the future will be made easier by the
use of this device, it is claimed. Ac-
cording to a communication from the
young man to his father, it is learned
the driver of the machine can crawl
out into the hood of the machine
without fear of it turning over. The
machine can be set going in a given
direction, and the driver can crawl
all over it, the machine keeping its
balance at all times.
The stabilizer will make location of
the enemies camps easier. 1t affords
the driver an opportunity to get out of
the seat of the car and look over
the surface below him. Also, should a
shell from a field piece crash through
the frame, the machine will continue
to float and a landing can be made
in perfect safety, it is said
All the fears of air navigation have
been eliminated through the device
| is the claim of its makers, and the
| Dallas youth will teach Europe how
to avail itself of its use. He will have
charge of the attaching of the device
| to all OF the air craft now in use by
| the English army.
In telegram to his father, Mr.. Tit
terington said he would probably be
in England for several months.
Morris Titterington was reared il
Dallas, having been a boy in Oal
Cliff and attended the Dallas schools
He graduated from the electrical
school in Washington in 1913. Since
that time he has been in the north.
