BILLS TO CONSERVE
 STATES RESOURCES
URGED BY GOV. M'RAE
Legislature Has Under Consideration Several Measures Taxing Nat
 ural Resources.

Little Rock, Jan. 27.4From three sources the senate was advised yestter- day of the necessity of withdrawing from sale state lands in order that restrictions be placed upon it which will give the state a reservation of mineral rights. Senator Montgomery introduced concurrent resolution asking for the withdrawal of state lands from sale; it was read and adopted. A short time later Governor McRae sent a special message to the senate suggesting that he would ap- prove legislation withdrawing from sale all public lands for a period of five years. Senator Wilson of Wash ington county introduced a bill soon after to put into effect the recom- mendations of the governor. This measure is to perfect the rights of the state in valuable lands in the oil and gas regions.
 Senator Vaughan of Pulaski intro- duced in the senate Wednesday after noon a bill to require all companies lclllON lllS lllIGI dlS lIOlH IdIluS Oi waters of Arkansas and cutting tim Der to pay tax up to per cent to the state. Ths severance tax is really the bill of the revenue and taxation committee of the senate. Senator Vaughan has studied closely the Okla homa, Texas and Louisiana laws and ! is of the opinion that the committee bill yield at least $50O,OO0 a year and as the resources of the state are de- veloped that it will increase materi- ally. Senator Vaughan argues that the resources of the state are the prop erty of the entire people and that when they are removed the state being de- prived of this wealth, something should be paid into the state treasury. He has discussed the bill with oil and gas producers who have informed him they will gladly pay the small tax asked Senator Vaughan expects the bill to yield at least S75,000 a year l from the Bauxite companies alone,
 The senate Wednesday afternoon passed the Haley bill to require test of gas wells and to limit their flow to one-fifth their daily capacity. There was a rather extended debate on the bill but when the roll was called 1t passed unanimously. Senator Haley explained that this bill so strengthened

the existing laws that prospective com- panies could not waste natural gas as has been done in the past. He was closely questioned by Senator Wilson of Union county where the new gas well is located, as to how the gas in- spector could stop the flow of gas in a sandy oil such as characterizes the gas and oil regions of that coun- ty Senator Haley displayed re- markable knowledge of drilling oper- ations and went into the question tech- nically. He said the blowing out of the well several hundred feet below the surface when efforts were made to cap it was due, in the first place, to poor drilling, but that when the rupture occurred it could have been remedied by sinking two castings and pouring concrete between them, allow ing the well to blow until it had hard ened sufficiently to withstand the pressure.
 The Andrews bill to permit women to hold office reached the senate We'd nesday afternoon. As there IS some question as to it's constitutionallty it was referred to the judiciary com' mittee for careful study.

POLICE FIND NtW
 MURDER EVIDENCE
(Ry United press)


 Madison, Wis, Jan. 27.-One clew of importance has been developed by police and federal operatives working on the case of Richard Scott Lawrence, who supposedly was murdered and his famous orange yellow diamond stolen. Investigations have disclosed that two people saw a. hearse drive along the banks of the Yasara river. Search is being made along the stream fol traces of the body supposed to have been dumped into the river or buried in the sand.
 The probers are now attempting to locate the remains of the stranger, who was killed by passenger train and whose body was placed in the coffin intended for Lawrence. If the strangers body can be found, the in vestigators declare the substitution will prove that Lawrence was made way with, and the ruse used to ward off suspicion of foul play.

MISSISSIPPI PROBLEM.
United States Geological Survey An
sers River QUESTION for Pupils.

"f,0es the Mississippi river flow up
hill2' is frequently the subject of school
debates, and such debates usually arise
from inaccurate or indefinite uses of the
term uphill and ''dOwnhil.'
In answer to correspondent who re
Gently made this inquiry, the United
States Geological Survey sent the follow
ing reply;
Some people describe down or at
n lower elevation when referring TO two
localities as the one nearer the center of
the earth. and consider the upper of the
two as the one farther from the center.
If only n small area is considered this is
practically true. but in referring to
widely separated localities. such as the
source and the mouth of the Mississippi
river, such a definition would lead to an
ahsurdity and must therefore be incor-
rect.
The surface of water at rest is a
level surface. rs that phrase Is usually
unde"st0cd. ANY particle of matter
above er'ch srrface will be at a higher
elevation and if acted on by natural
forces alone will tend TO go down toward
the water Mean sea level is the sur
face generally accepted as the datum or
reference plane for all topographic ell
evationS.
"The source of the Mississippi river is
Sbout | 300 feet above mean level. There
fore. the unrestrained water at. the source
of the river. under the action of natural
forces, tends TO 60 down to sea level at
the rivers mouth
"As the equatorial radius of the earth
is about IL miles greater than the polar
radius. and as the intermediate radii
differ in length between these limits, and
as the source of the Mississippi is nearly
10 degrees Of latitude farther north than
its mouth, it follows that the mouth of
| thu river Is about 4 miles farther from
1.-THE center of tho earth than its source.
/ The combined effect of gravity and cen
| trifugal force makes the water of the
river run downhill. although actually the
water moves away from the center of
| the earth in so doing"
