CONSIDERABLE
 DAMAGE DONE
 BY RAIN STORM
Crops East of the City Were Beaten and Blown Down - Damage in Eastern Craighead.

The heavy rain of Thursday af- ternoon was accompanied by severe wind east of the city, doing much damage in the vicinity of the Cotton Belt school house and to other sec tions to the east and southeast of that point. Corn and cotton were ieFelad by the wind and downpour of rain, At many points creeks and branches were swollen out of their banks and some damage was done to fences and other property.
 According to news reports pub lished in the Jonesboro papers, the storm was very severe in the eastern part of Craighead. The wind was very violent at points in that sec ton and barns and outhouses were blown down; fences were washed away by oyerflows and at some points the crest of the storm as suned proportions of hurricane, il is reported.
 While crops In several sections of Greene county were blown down, the damage likely will not result very seriously. Early corn, how ever, likely will not straighten. Cotton. it is said, is strengthening and the damage to that crop in the sections visited by the storm is negligible excepting where over flows submerged fields.e

VAST OIL DEPOSITS IN AMERICAN SHAIES

Washington. Recent investiga- tions by the t. s. geological survey are held by its experts to indicate that, in the Rocky Mountain states. there are enormous quantities of oil shades which can be made to yield hydrocarbon cils to a much greater extent than we can hope to obtain from our oil wells"
 The shales are said to constitute q tremendous potential oil reserve. The oil shales of this country . says the report, contain enormous quantities of Gil, hut large amounts of money will have to be invested before the oil shale industry be- comes of commercial importance. Estimates by various engineers of the cost of complete retorting plant, handling ,00D tons daily, are between $4,060, 006 and $5,000,- 900.
 Tn this country the oil-shale industry cannot he developed over night, and probably cannot attain success until large sums of money have been spent in perfecting min ing, retorting and refining methods. A company to be successful. when ever oil-shale operations become commercially feasible, must be able to employ the best technical, busi- ness and engineering skill available, be prepared to operate on large scale. and be financially strong enough to wait several years for any large return on the money in- vested"
 The report declares that it is unfortunate that large number of the many companies organi: ed to deal with oil shale are devotine their efforts to stock selling rather than assisting in building firm basis for the industry.
 A summary of the report follows:
 There are no commercial oil-shalt plants operating in this country at the present time, although there if a well established industry in Scot. land
 The American shale deposits arc richer in recoverable oil than Scotcl shales now being worked, and prob ably nearly equal in nitrogen con tent, which is a measure of recover able ammonia.
 Market conditions for shale prod ucts are less favorable in this coun try than in Scotland.
 Great quantities of American shades are of greater thickness an' better suited for mining than Scotcl shaics.
 As yet no process for obtainin! oil from oil shale has been used il actual commercial practice in thi country.
 Indications are that the Unite States cannot continue long to de nend on domestic petroleum pro duction to supply completely the de mand for petroleum products, an that sooner or later our oil shaie will have to be used to help suppl the deficit.
 The oil shale industry cannc hope to supplant the petroleum in dustry ia large way for man years, but will probably grow u from local industries in favorabl places.
 Costs of oil shale operations car not be reliably estimated until con mercial practice in this country ful nishes the necessary basic data.
 The quantity quality and val of products and by-products to ] obtained from oil shale in this coul try are not known with any degrC of certainty.
 The oil shale industry is lare scale. low-grade raw materials mal ufacmring enterprise, requirir large capital, high technical ar business ability, and probably ma ing slow returns on the investmen

tBY SENATOR FEED SMOOT
Member Senate Appropriations and
Finance Committee

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. - 1t has
been repeatedly declared that there
must be lifting of taxes, but not
shifting of them.
| want both lifting and shifting
of taxes, anu / am convinced the
American people want the same.
The expression, consumption
taxes scaies the politician much
more than 1t does the American tax
player. livery internal tax is CON-
sumption tax. The demagosic cry
that the burden now supposedly plac-
ed On the shoulders of the rich would
be shifted onto all the working popu-
iasion of the United States through a
sales tax on goods, wares and mer-
chandise, is a theory and not facl.
And theories never have and never
will be accepted as payment for taxes.
General Sales Tax Law
Some day, not tar distant, America
will have a general sales tax law.
And the sooner such law is enactea
the better it will be for America.
When such a bill becomes part of
the revenue laws of our country, con-
gress can repeal all the irritating, nag
ging, discriminatory taxes, amounting to
hundreds of millions of dollars, and
the excess profits tax which has work
ed havoc with business concerns.
One advantage of such a tax IS >.s
extreme simplicity or assessment and
collection. The employment by the
taxpayers of costly experts is quite
unnecessary, as is the burdening tax
administration machinery with compli
Gated, expensive, long drawn out au-
dts causing long delays in the col
lection of taxes.
Such a tax is not inquisitorial. 1t
does not raise difficult questions
about losses, depreciation and the
like And it is more easily allocated
among competing jurisdictions than
a tax upon net income.
