Oil Gas and Coal Tax Unlikely.

Srnlimenl apparently around the
capital indicates nat il is very, un-
likely the present Legislature will I'M
pose n tax on either oil, gas or coal.
Sentiment. however. is stronger this
session Than ever before for a tax on
oil and gas. and it is apparent tha'
these interests cannot much longer
successfully GGht the movement. How
ever. there appears to be conceded h
view that if such tax is imposed, that
Their. should be some provision to care
for the little producers, insuch a way
Iha, The tax would not prU'e Il handi-
can or put them out of business. The
manufacturers Of gasoline in small
way, from wells that are under pres,
sure that would have 10 be- abandoned
under any other system. are particul-
arly OPPOSED 10 a iaN on the basis or
The thousand cubic feet Of gas. tn"
urge that a more equitable tax. II one
has To be- imposed. would be from the
sianduoint of a tax on the number OF
gallons of gasoline produced.

 The boys will get their first taste of military life in. the local camp. Drills will be conducted both morn ings and afternoons and regular picket duty will be established through the days and nights. It is proposed to have the camp under military discipline, following in ev- cry way the prescribed duties of regular army camp life.
 Captain Shane informed a Press representative this afternOn that the company needed supply of cots, blankets and comforts and the members would very much appre- ciate receiving those supplies from the citizens of Paragould. The ar ticles furnished will be kept only till the company is ordered into of ficial training camp at Alexandria. Those who are prepared to thus favor the company should notify Captain Shane.

 One hundred and fifty noble, pat riotic fellows have offered their lives in defense of home and coun- try and it should be pleasure for the people of Paragould and Greene county to contribute generously to a fund for their use and pleasure in entering upon a service journey that may lead to heavy sacrifices, It is the last opportunity we shall have to contribute thai expression, and the suggestion is advanced without a word of solicitation from the company. Other communities are thus considerate of their com panies and Paragould should do likewise only Paragould should do more than the average community.

In view of the fact that it is customary for cities and towns to create fund for the use of their home military companies, in the de- frayal of incidental expenses and otherwise encourage the boys in the performance of their patriotic du- ties, it has been suggested that a liberal fund be raised by the citi- gems of Paragould and Greene coun- ty for Company H. Last Friday at Blytheville- in one day alone "a fund of five hundred dollars was raised by the citizens for the com pany of that city. Paragould should do as much or more for her com pany.

COUNTY PURCHASES
 ROAD MACHINERY
Deal Is Closed With Rumley Com pany For Three Engines For
 Road Purposes.

County Judge w. A. Branch stat ed to a Daily Press representative this afternoon that deal had just been closed for purchase of three tractor engines to be used in road construction work. The engines acquired under the contract are those negotiated for by former County J1dse A. D. Jackson, pay ment for the machines having been declined by Judge J. L. Light, who succeeded Jackson as county eXecu tive. Judge Light held that the transaction was illegal because of the fact that notes had been issued for the purchase price. The issu- ance of notes by a county is con trary to the constitution and at ( subsequent Adjudication of a part of the claim in circuit court the supplying company lost. Efforts were then made to secure a com promise. A representative of the Rumley company has been in the county for the past two days goins over the situation with Judge Branch Eonner County Judge Jackson, who for several weeks has been working with modern road building machinery in Sharp coun- ty, went with the Rumley represent tative and Judge Branch for a care ful examination of the three trac- tors with q view to determining their present worth. Two of the engines were found to be in need of heavy repairs, while the third was in better condition.
 Judge Branch has agreed with the Rumley representative to take over tho three tractors as county property for three thousand dollars. It is estimated that an ad- ditional one thousand dollars will be needed for the purpose of mak- ing repairs. This sum is available from county finances and will be spent immediately in putting the tractors in good condition.
 The compromise means that all litigation will be brought to an end, and that, without further wrangle, the county will be in po- sition to use the tractors during the present summer and fall in building roads so much in need of repairs The compromise price, pay able in scrip, also is regarded as reasonable in the extreme in so far as the county is concerned. Pur- chase of any kind of machinery just now would involve advanced fig ures.
 Plans now being worked out will immediately place one of the en zines and a grader on the road leading from Paragould to Walcott Prominent citizens of Walcott, and those contiguous to the Walcott territory, have subscribed two hun dred dollars or more toward a fund to be used in aiding the county to defray expenses incident to the road work now planned. It is pro posed to gravel all that portion of the road west of Little's store, This work will be in charge of A. n. Jackson.
 Another tractor and grader will be placed on the Pekin road run ming south from Paragould to the

set forth inathe official order pub lished elsewhere in today's issue of the Press. Every member of the organization is requested to take notice of the order and be governed accordingly.
 The company this afternoon num- bered IA members, six short of the full army strength of 150. Recruit ing will be conducted during the next few days ot muster the organ ization to the army requirement. Checking through the company's roster yesterday and today seven were dropped from the member ship, as follows: Avis E. Clark, John II. Mckenzie, Elmer E. Haz- elwood, Tom Grooms and Arthur Olive, all under weight; John R. Westbrook, under age; Bradley Scott, aged parents who are de-, pendents.
 The full roster of the cOmpany's membership will be ready for pub lication Monday.

cFRoM MONDAYS DAILY PREss)

True martial spirit peryades the atmosphere in the vicinity of the High School today, where Captain Cecil Shane has his company of soldiers encamped awaiting orders from regimenta headquarters to en- train for the federal training camp at Alexandria, La The improvsed quarters have been designated Camp Curtis J. Little and the boys comfortably equipped with tents cots and such other paraphernaa needed for camp life. They seem to be enjoying every minute of their experience.
 The company pitched tents on the campus of the High School grounds yesterday afternoon and this morning began the arduous duties of military llte such as drilling attending military school of instructions per forming guard duty and the like. Just how long the company will remain in camp here it is not known but not likely more than week Patriotic citizens who are ambitious to do something for the company for the n- diyidual members should not delay. Orders for the company to move may be received any day

line, a distance of approximately seven miles. Territory in road districts 10 and 23 will be affected. The county judge does not think it will be possible to gravel this road unless arrangements can be made for the disposition of scrip at a figure more advantageous than yet offered.
 The third grader will go on the Paragould- -Marmaduke road. Much work is to be done in this direc- tion. The so-called free road la bor" will be used in all districts where the work is carried on.
 Since yesterday two more small bridges have given away. A second ary structure west of Will Barn hills residence, west of Paragould, went out yesterday. Onehalf mile west of Pruet's Chapel small structure also took downward dip.

On account of the prompt re sponse of the people of the city to furnish the camp with tents, cots and bedding, the camp is in good shape. Captain Shane wishes also to thank those loaned trucks. These trucks will again be needed when the order to break camp comes. Electric light connections and tel1 ephone will be installed in the camp this afternoon. The boys are using the shower baths in the base ment of the High School building. The hospital tent is ready for any emergency, though it is not likely that the hospital will be used on ac- count of the ideal and healthful location of the camp. The canteen camp has been opened with Supply Sergeant Joe Waxman in charge At this tent cold drinks and a few necessities are sold, the proceeds to go to the mess fund. Civilians, when visiting the camp, are per mitted ot buy drinks at the stand but children are not permitted on the grounds.
