DuLaney Makes Plea
 for Road Tax Relief

Tn debate Monday over an amend ment to the severance tax measure, which would set aside a portion of the funds derived from that tax for the relief of landowners in special road districts, Senator John J. DuLaney spoke in favor of the amendment The remarks Of Senator DuLaney are quoted as follows:
 Senator DuLaney, closing the argu mcnt for the amendment, made the most vigorous appeal for part of the taxes for bond retirement The road districts and their retirement bonded Indebtedness, he charged, constituted an evil put upon the state by the Gen. eral Assembly, and, consequently an evil which called for aid from the General Assembly.
 While these road districts have a corporate entity, they are of a quasi public nature," he said, "and as such they are entitled to public aid. The condition in this state has reached the roint that aid is matter of public pol icy. If the homes of any section of the state We're threatened by flood or other natural destruction, the legislature would have no hesitancy in appropriat- ing funds for the relief of that section. I charge now that the homes in many sections of the state are in danger of destruction through confiscation for the payment of road taxes, and I ap peal for aid. It will do no good to have millions for our school children if these children are to lose their homes. You can vote down this a. and refuse this relief, but if you do the Farm Labor Union, the Farmers Union and other organiza- tions are coming to the next primary with a candidate for governor who will seek to accomplish by radical means what we should do here and now"
 The amendment was voted down, ' to 21 A final amendment offered by Senator Grabiel to increase the bauxite tax from 25 cents to 50 cents a ton was, voted down. II to IS. and the bill, on final roll call, passed by unani- nous vote of 90 to 0.

 Of Bribery Charge

Ada, Okla, Feb 14.-Former Cover nor J. 3. A. Robertson stood freed to- day Of charges that he aceeDted 2 bribe while in office to permit an Okmulgee bank to operate after it had became insolvent. A demurrer to the indictment against the former executive which was returned by 2 district court grand jury in Okmul- gee in March P of last year was sustained in district court here last night by Hal Johnson, of Shawnee, special judge.

NUMBER 17.
SENATE SEVERANCE TAX
 MEASURE SENT 10 COY.
WilsOn-BelOte Bill Has Been Approved by Beth Branches and Needs Only
 Governors Approval.

Little Rock, Feb. Ex-Governor Me Rae at 2:45 o'clock Wednesday after noon signed the compromise severance tax bill.
 With clocklike precision the House of Representative Wednesday morn ing passed the Wilson-Belote sever- ance tax measure, already passed by the Senate and thereby enacted a sev- erance tax law for the state of Arkan- sas, the bill now lacking only the ap- proval of the governor to be made eff fective. There was no discussion when the Senate measure was called up during the morning hour and only one dissenting vote was cast against it. and that by Representative Glover, ir- reconcilably opposed to the measure because of the 9 per cent per ton tax on bauxite.
 The measure places a two and one half per cent tax on oil and gas, and virtually all minerals. On bauxite the tax is 25 cents per ton and On coal one cent per ton. The only other ex- ception to the two and one-half per cent tax is on timber, which is taxed seven cents per 1000 board feet.
 The measure was Immediately order ed sent to the Senate, where it will be engrossed before it is finally sent to the governor. There is no doubt but what the measure will be approved as the governor assisted in drafting it, and it passed both branches of the as- sembly without amendment.
 In the passage of the severance tax by both branches of the assembly the first measure of any great importance, advocated by the governor and endors- ed by the state Democratic platform, as been enacted
 The House seemed listless during the morning session and was able to raise it's interest upon cne measure, and this on the proverbiaI dog tax bill, once passed and sent to the Senate.
 Oi u was t"pleu. lie EOUSe w eQ- nesday morning lifted it from the ta- ble and passed it as amended by the Senate. The measure exempts one dog in each household in about 25 counties of the state from taxation.
 Representative Morris of Lonoke. during the morning introduced bill which would authorize the honorary penitentiary board to lease the state convict farm lands for the purpose of drilling for oil or. gas and in search of other minerals. The measure was re- ferred to the House penitentiarv com mittee.
 Representative Hill of Jefferson in tfoduced a measure seeking to equalize freight rates on sand, gravel and other road building materials in the state. this measure being referred to the iu- dietary committee.
 The House tabled a bill introduced by Representative Arnold of Miller. which would have authorized the state railroad commission to fix the price for ginning cotton. The motion to ta- ble was made by Representative Blackwell of Yell county.
