With only four more days remain ing the Forty-third General Assembly today enters upon the last week of it's session.
 A vast amount of detail work re- mains on the calendars, among which are majority of the appropriation bills, including the general salary bill which has been under fire from both houses. Legislative leaders how ever, discount the probability of an extension of the session beyond Thursday noon which is the Constitu- tional limit Although a heavy mass os bills, general and otherwise still must receive consideration. the last days of every session of the General Assembly see the accomplishment of double the work of the earlier weeks. There is no purely factional hiil over which the membership is split into parties to delay proceedings, practical ly all measures bordering 0 nthis class having been considered early.
 Governor McRae said Saturday that he believes the legislature is well up with it's work and that he could not see that an extension would be neees- sary.

Budgets Within Revenue.

Van E. Sims, state comptroller, has made recapitulation of the allow anees made by the Budget Committee to be paid by the General Revenue Fund for the biennial period ending ! June 30, 1923. In statement sub mitteed to Dr. s. A. Hoover, chairman of the Budget Committee, the comp troller says:
 "All bills recommended by the com mittee carry appropriations payabie from the general revenue fund in the amount of S3,619.460 for the next bi- enniaI period. The revenues for the same period from the property tax, the insurance tax, the franchise tax, the inheritance tax, and a few miscel- laneous sources have been estimated at S3 3tf,1 .O0O This shows net sur plus of S41, ,540 for the biennial peri. cd. l am sure that these estimates are not too high, and l feel that the Budget Committee is to be copsratu- lated on the fact that they have cn' and institutions sufficiently to bring the requests by various departments them within the estimated revenues and at the same time leave balance of S41 .54O for emergencies.
 No Need For Cuts.
 I have worked with the budget committees of four previous General Assemblies and this is the first time the committee has succeeded in pre- senting bills to the legislature which were within the revenue, thereby re- lieving the governor of the task of cutting appropriation bills after the legislature has adjourned If the leg islature does not pass appropriation bills which have been disapproVed by the Budget Committee, or whicl have not been before the Budget Committee then it will not be necessary for the governor to veto single item. If the legislature does make apI ropria- IlOH Ol lttm5 NDitii 1Aot NS@|- mittee has disapproved. or wiIich they have not passed on, then, of course, 1t will be up to the governor to cut the various appropriations to bring the aggregate amount within the estimat- ed revenues.
 All departments which are selfsup- porting, such as, for instance, the Highway Department, the Banking Department, the Feed and Fertilizer Inspection bureaus the Game and Flsn Commission, the Bureau of Vital Sta tistics, and vario us others have been allowed amounts which are safely within the estimated revenues, which will be secured through these respec- tive departments.

LITTLE OIL AC
 TIVITY SUNDAY
AND RAISING CAS- ING IS THE BIGGEST AT
 TRACTION
fBy Fletcher Chenault in Arkansas
 Gazette

GaZette.)
 Fl Dorado. March 6-The greatest activity in the oil field today was O nthe hill where the Arkansas-Texas, the Lucas Tomberlin and the Caddo Central derricks stand within stones throw of each other. At all three of the wells the drilling crews were laboring either at pulling pipe ar letting it down, which task usually occupies drill crews more than half the time.
 The Caddo Central proved to be the greatest attraction for Sunday visi- tors because here. there was an occa- sional head" of oil. This substance, so much sought after over the world, had splashed the derrick floor, the ground and even the tool house some distance away. good oil and there was strong odor to it.
 The crews at the Lucas Tomberlin and the Arkansas-Texas were em- ployed at the task of shutting off the salt water, which is believed to be in the top sands. The Caddo Central officials think they have accomplish ed this feat. and were busily engaged in putting down three-inch pipe.
 This three-inch pipe, according to c. r. Clayton, yice-president of the company, is to squeeze down the flow SO it will produce regularly and con sistently. According to his estimate the well will produce 800 barrels a day as it stands makes d head - every few minutes. The small pipe outlet will produce a steady stream or nearly so.

DEVELOPMENT Of
NIAGARA FALLS
POWER IS URGED

Washington, Feb. 15.-Develop-
ment of Niagara Falls water
power as a national asset" on a
gigantic plan that would assign all
water power privileges to one in
dividual corporation, thus elimi-
mating grants to various smaller
interests, is urged in various rec
concentrations now before the
federal power commission. "
Although agreeing generally that
a comprehensive system of devel-
opment should be adopted, the rec
concentrations vary greatly as to-
the nature of the development. In
approving any grants, the mem
bers of the present commission,
Secretaries Baker, Payne and Mer-
edith, are inclined to anticipate
development of methods in the
near future that will permit the
transporting economically of pow
er to points 500 miles or more
from the falls.
Experts have told the commits
sion that the single assignment"
plan should include assignment of
water power privileges below the
falls as we'll as those above. Plans
to combine the several hundred
thousand horsepower taken from
the gorge with the millions taken
from above the falls into one prof.
ect were presented. The plans
range from tunneling under Goat
island, which hangs on the preci-
pice between the American and
Canadian falls, to digging a power
and ship canal from Lake Erie to
Lake Ontario. Proponents of some
of the proposed projects claim that
the government could tax such
development a half million a year
and still give users cheaper power
than they now enjoy, and leave a
profit for the corporation ON the
investment.
Secretary Baker, chairman lof
the commission, has announced
that NO privileges anticipating flu
ture amendments to the existing
water diversion treaty with Canada
will be considered by the present
commission. Experts have told
the commission that 1900 cubic
feet additional to the 10000 now
diverted on the American side
could be taken from the Niagara
river without marring the scenic
beauty of the falls.

DIE As
THEY WAIT FOR
FOOD To ARRIVE


New York Feb. 15.--Thirty
thousand Chinese gathered on
great bare field outside Ttentsin,
China, waited patiently for tood
which never arrived and then
slowly died there, e. y, Glines,
American engineer, reported upon
his arrival here after passing SIX
months in the famine stricken
areas of North China.
The condition of the starving
hordes was 50 pitiful, Mr.. Glines
said, that he did not have the
heart to take photographs of such
misery" He said that the crowd
at Tientsin had gathered because
they believed food would reach
them there more quickly than in
the country. Along a roadside near
the field he told of seeing the
bodies of a whole family-father,
mother and five children-each a
few yards apart, where they had
dropped and died.
Crops Have Failed.
"The crop failures have been
almost complete in the five great
provinces that make up the north
ern part of China proper-Chlhli,
Shantung, Shansi, Shensi and
Honan," said Mr.. Glines. This is
the part of the country around
Picking, south of Mongolia and
Manchuria."
Explaining why the sections of
China not stricken by famine were
unable to relieve the starvation
districts, Mr.. Glines said:
"China is largely an agricultural
nation. Ninet per cent of the
population lives on the tiny farms
into which the country is divided.
The Chinese work their land to
the limit, but they cannot raise
more than enough to feed them
selves. Each district can raise
barely enough food TO support its
own people. That is why the
prosperous provinces have been
able to do so little for the famine
stricken ones. They have not the
food to send.
THE crops in North China have
failed since 1919. The people have
been unable to get more than
scraps of food from other parts of
China. They have been unable to
get much from outside because
food has been high priced all over
the world. They have tried to
move to better districts, where
they could raise crops, but such
districts are so far and they have
had such poor resources that they
have died like flies on the way.
Ten Million Face Starvation.
There is no question that more
than 100000 Chhese will starve
to death this winter and spring UNI
less food is rushed to them" He
declared that millions will die
despite aid, that the population of
100000 in the famine districts
is in such dire straits that it will
be a physical impossibility to rush
enough food to them to save all.
Great irrigation projects, control
of flood producing streams, and
Improvement of transportation
were cited by Mr.. Glines as the
only salvation of the agricultural
and economic life of China.
These things will be done in
time" he said, ''for China is
awake. America will probably
have a big part in this future of
China, but we must lay aside these
thinks for the present and devote
every effort TO getting food to the
starving millions"
