MAGNOLIA.H0DGES IN GARvIN
COUNTY HAS DRILLED THROUGH
1910 FEET LIME FORMATION

Magnolia Petroleum Company in Sec
tion 8, 1n-3w on the Hodges farm went
into lime formation at $500 feet and
at 42l0 feet the drill Is in the same
formation. 1t is believed by some Of the
geologists that the Simpson formation
lies beneath this well and that pay
sand will be entered. While this opinion
Is held it is also the conclusion Of others
that thsrlime is so thick that the drill
will never pass through 1t. The well
drilled in section 8, 1s-2w by Davis peo-
pie went into lime formation at 500
feet and shut down at 1900 feet in the
same formation. These last figures may
not be correct, they are carried in men,
ory since the we'll was drilled but they
are approximately correct. II Is evident
that lime formation lies beneath q
rather large area in that vicinity.

New Income Tax Plan
 Under Consideration

Washington, May 14.-An entirely new basis for levying national taxes. with the exceptions on personal in- comes substantially raised was sub- mitted to the Senate Finance Com mittee today by z. B. Clark of De- troit, who said he spoke for the National Retail Dry Goods Associa- tion, the National Association of Re- tail Clothiers, the National Retail Shoe Dealers Association and the National Garment Retailers Associa- ton.
 The plan would divide all incomes into three classes, and they, with the aid Of sales tax, would carry prac- tically the entire revenue burden. MT. Clark proposed raising the ex- emptiOns on personal incomes from the present $1,00O for single persons to $2,5O0, andl from $2,0OO for mar ried persons to $5,000, with an ad- ditional $20O. The witness also would lower the higher rates on income sur taxes. His plan divides all incomes roughly as follows:
 CD Income from salaries and wag- Cs; CD income from all business, indi- vidual, partnership, or corporation, and (3) all other income which chiefly would be "unearned" and taxed higher. On salaries and wages the tax prOpos- ed is normal rate of four per cent cn tho first $4,O0O above the exemp- tion and eight per cent on the rest The sccnd class would b taxed 10 per cent with an exemption of $5,O00.
 A normal tax of 10 per cent is pro- posed for the third division, with surtaxes ranging from one per cent on incomes between $20,0O0 and $50,- GOO up to six per cent on incomes of s5C0,00O or more.
 Adoption of the program, MT Clark said. would permit the repeal of ex- cess profits and excess taxes, many luxury taxes and the tax on trans portaticn. Repeal of the latter tax he said, would reflect noticeably in retaji prices.
 In using the sales tax and the new basis for assessing income taxes, Mr Clark contended the government would he collecting revenue on a practioa, l.ality of the proceeds, of a profit dol lar"

Difference in Opinion With
 MCRae and Pen Com.

Little Rock, May 14.-(SpeciaD--A difference of opinion has arisen be- tween Governor McRae and the peni- tentiary board over the interpretation of the parole law.
 Early in the week, the board granted a parole to Tom Atkinson of Cleburne county, who was serving a sentence of one year for participation in draft re- sistance during the war The gover- nor was not consulted about the mat ter, the board having acted as it claims, under the provisions of the act of 1907, which provides that upon the expiration of one-third of convict's sentence parole may be granted if the convict has good record.
 Yesterday the governor received from the Satton-Willis Post No. GA, American Legion, at Heber Springs, of which c. c. Mccullough is post com- mander, resolutions vigorously pro- testing against the parole. The reso- lutions charge that Atkinson was "the leader, alder and abetter of his stacker sons and other outlaws in armed re- sistance against constituted authority, some resistance resulting in the death of Porter Hazelwood, a member of the sheriff's posse"
 Governor Brough was importuned to grant clemency but refused to do so and the resolutions declare that the boards action came "as distinct sur prise. shock and affront to the good people of Cleburne county.
 After consultation with Attorney General Utley, Gov. McRae notified Sheriff Emmitt Baldridge of Cleburne county to return Atkinson forthwith to the penitentiary. The governor holds that the penitentiary board has no authority to parole prisoner with out the.governor's consent; that it is a. wrong practice which has been pursu- ed for years and that he will not lon- ger countenance it. He further holds that the parole, which must be ap- proved by him, is invalid because it was not recommended by the prosecut- ing attorney.
