PROSPECTS, FOR OIL
 GROWING BRIGHTER
GAS YIELD IS INCREASING
CRAWFORD FIELD DRILLERS STRIKE PROMISING DEPTHS
 OF SAND.

Fort Smith, Feb. 21.-Gas is flow ing from three test wells in the Crawford county field A flow of 1OO,- 900 cubic feet has been struck in the Dora Oil and Gas Company's No. on the Dr. Bond farm. E. H. Grove and associates, who are drilling an offset to the Kibler gasser, the dis covery we'll, in section 31-9-30, are showing 100000 cubic feet The Clear Creek Oil and Gas Company No. in section 28-9-3O is making 1,25O,000 feet of gas.
 The latter we'll is now drilling at 1,7OO feet. A 1,OOO,OOO-foot flow of gas was struck at about 1,40O feet. According to Scott Robertson, secre- tary of the company, the sand in No. 2 is fully 100 feet thicker than in No. 1.
 The Dora company's we'll brought in gas Wednesday night at depth of 634 feet. The we'll is drilling at 665 feet. The drill is now in 65 feet of sand, which is estimated to be 160 feet thick. The gas flow is steadily increasing. Contractor J. s. Tetley, pioneer in the local gas field, made a significant statement Saturday when he said the sand found in the Dora we'll is absolutely the best ever found in this section. It is an entire ly new sand, he declared, and bears the best indication of oil of any sand he has yet encountered in the Fort Smith gas field. The gas is impreg- mated with very oily smell, accord ing to MT. Tetley.
 The Grove we'll is down about 1900 feet, according to best accounts. The formation is very much like that of the Clear Creek No. 1.
 The Clear Creek Mo- 8, on the Eliz- abeth Arbuckle farm, Sebastian coun- ty, is drilling at 300 feet. One hun dred and fifty feet of casing are in the we'll. Four hundred additional feet were sent to the island Wednes- day.
 The Pennok No. 1, in section 34-9- 30, Crawford county, expects to get into the sand by tomorrow. The drillers have strengthened the crook ed hole.
 The Sara Oil and Gas Company of this city has doubled it's holdings in Crawford county since it was organ ized some weeks ago. It now holds between 5000 and 1000 acres.
 It is said the Travellers Oil and Gas Company will begin drilling on leases of the Clear Creek Company in Crawford county within 40 days. The Prospect Oil and Gas Company, it is understood, will start it's first we'll in this county in about 30 days.

NEED LEGISLATION
 10 [QUAL|zf FAXES
PRESENTLAW INADEQUATE
WIDE VARIATION IN ASSESS MENT BASIS DISCUSSED BY
 MIR. BROWN.

Little Rock, Feb. 19.-Until the present tax laws of Arkansas are amended there can be no equalization of the basis of assessment in differ ent counties, according to members of the State Tax Commission. Assess ment reports from 72 of the 75 coun- ties indicate there will be little change in the range of assessments between 1914 and 1915. In 1914 the basis of assessment ranged from l6.9 per cent in Benton county to 74.6 per cent in Perry county.
 "Under the present law the com mission is required to sit as board of equalization in November. There is no law to compel the county asses sors to send to the commission their assessment sheets before that time" says F. E. Brown, chairman of the commission. By the time the com mission has information as to the basis of assessment in the counties, the time for adjustment has passed and the collection of taxes begun.
 Payment of 1915 taxes has begun in some counties and still three coun- ties have not sent in their assessment sheets. The law should require coun- ty assessors to begin assessing in February and to have their assess ment sheets in the hand of the tax commission before November ''
 There are other reasons why the commission has never sought to equalize the basis of assessment be- tween different counties, MT. Brown says.
 TO raise the assessment one one county as whole would work hardship on the small percentage of the taxpayers who assess their prop erty at a fair valuation. The aver age basis of assessment in 1914, using the 1910 census value as bas- is of comparison, was little more than 40 per cent. Suppose the com mission should double the assessment value of all property in Benton coun- ty in order to bring the basis of as- in that county up to some where near the average? Doubtless there are a few men in the county who are paying taxes on 50 per cent valuation. If the assessment were doubled a great hardship would be worked upon them.
 of the commission is to lower or raise the general basis of assessment in different counties, it should be giv- en power to lower or raise the assess ments of individuals. Of course it would be impossible for one commits sion to hear the appeals from tax payers all over the state when the
 assessments of the counties were
 aised or lowered. If the county
 qualization boards would each care
 ully consider individual assessments
 nd see that they are capitalized, the
 commission would lower or raise the
 ssessment on county without any hardship. That is what he law contemplates when it gives the commission such power. Unfor the equalization boards sell dom stay in session long enough to really equalize all assessments in the county.
 Another problem of the tax com is finding basis for arriv- ing at property values in making comparisons of the basis of assess ment in different counties. The only material available is the census re- port valuation, which does not in-
