HEARING 0NDUTY
ON OIL THIS WEEK
Refiners and Producers Against
Proposed Tariff-Porter
Would Protect Supply.

Petroleum refiners and producers
will have a hearing this week before
the Ways and Means Committee on
the proposal to lay tariff duty on
importations of petroleum.
Refners and producers are protest.
ing the proposed tax, which several
members of the committee are advo-
eating because of it's revenue pro-
ducing merits.
The tax was suggested to tho COM
mittee by John II. Kirby, of Texas.
who appeared before the committee az
a representative of the Southern Tar
in Association and urged protective
tariff duties on behalf Of southern in
dustries.
Following this suggestion and an
nouncement that the tax was under
consideration by the committee. re-
ports were circulated that the petro-
leum fields Of Tampico and Tuxpan.
Mexico, from which most petroleum
is imported into the United States,
were running dry.
Representative Porter, Of Pennsyl-
vania, late yesterday presented to the
House a resolution asking the Secre-
tary OF State for information concern
ing the condition of the oil fields in
Mexico and Central America, especial
ly with respect to fields that have
gone dry or with declining produce
ton, and fields in which there are po-
tentialities.
1--WE are concerned" said Porter, "in
safeguarding the nations oil supply.
which is the basis for many intricate
problems involved in our dealings
with other nations. If the Mexican oil
fields are exhausted our Government
should take immediate steps to search
out and aid in the development OF new
fields. The result of a Government
investigation would be much moro
valuable than oil company propa-
ganda, and the people should have
this official knowledge to safeguard
investors from wasting their capital"

BANKS TO EXTEND
M0REFARM CREDITS

Demands for further credits at the
banks for farmers today engrossed the
attention of Secretary of the Treas

officio member of the Federal Re-
serve Board, said he felt confident the
needed relief will be given the agri-
cultural industry. though he was un-
prepared to state what the Govern
ments mode of procedure will be.
Secretary Mellon said in his judG-
ment the established machinery CT
the Federal Reserve system will be
ample to care for the farmers de-

ton that 1t will be necessary to
handle the situation by any drastic
changes in Federal Reserve Board
procedure. He said he is confident
the farmers will be given extra sup
port from the banks.
