AUSTIN. Texas. May 19.-Enactmen. I.
of a number Of measures Of far reaching
Importance in addition to appropriation
acts. was accomplished BY the second
called session of the thirty-eighth leg
islaturc. m inventory OF the successful
bills today shows. Law enforcement and
mary purpose for which Governor Neff
called the session are well represented
on he list Of laws.
Probably the most important OF the
law enforcement acts is the Bell liquor
bill. which makes possession Of liquor or
materials for making such, prims facie
evidence Of guilt Of violating state pro-
hibition laws. The other law enforce
men. measure Of general importance II
that which makes II an offense to drive
an automobile on public highway or
street while intoxicated.
In revenue measures. probably the
outstanding new law is the inheritance
tax ac.. This measure increases the
present inheritance taxes more than fif-
~ per cent and provides methods and
penalties for collection. II is estimated
the act will bring in.o the treasury ap-
proxin,ately $4,000. 900 year after Il be-
comes operative. The Bonham dclin-
quent tax bill, prescribing new methods
and fees for collecting delinquent taxes.
is expected to bring at leas. $4,000. 900
into the treasury during the next two
years.
The Culp coin vending tax bill. which
levies tax on all electric pianos. weigh
ing and other devices according to the
na .ure Of the machine. also was enacted
into a law. This measure ss 4 revenue
raising measure is insignificant. The
Cowan gasoline tax bill was rcenacted
in order that the bill might be cleared
up and the tax fixed definitely on whole

A new organization will soon be en- tering the development of the Cold Bay oil fields in the near future, ac- cording to Ben PoindeNer, who re- gently arrived from the states where he completed the organization of the Northern Oil and Development Con- pany in New York City. MT. Poin- dexter is the locator of the ground upon which the development work will be done, the claims being adjacent to the present holdings of other compa- nies now in the field.
 MT. Poindexter for many years past has been identified with the develop ment of various ventures in the north and when the government threw open the Cold Bay fields for location he was among the first to secure claims, with choice locations as the result. In furthering his project he has made a careful study of oil conditions in Tex as and other oil fields and under ex- pert advice.

 But the amusing part of the contro- versy is that France which sought anc failed to benefit by playing the Turk ish government against Britain is very deeply incensed because the Ameri- cans won the concessions, and now preparing for war against the Turks in Syria.

EUROPE oUTMANEUvERED

It is interesting to observe the not entirely edifying spectacle of the Flu ropean powers in their quarrel over the spells of the late war. Again in ternational interest is centered at Lausanne in Switzerland. where the powers are trying to bring order out Of chaos. There has been no change in the attitude of the nations so ta as selfish purposes are concerned. since the previous conferences.
 Yet there has been a decided change in the basic trouble of the conference and some neat footwork marks the ac- ton of some of the participants, mo- tably France.
 Somehow it seems that France is al- ways at the bottom of European quar- rels, though possibly it does not fol- low that France is always wrong. A few months ago when Lloyd George was playing the Greeks against Fur key, France because alarmed and in- censed and took sides with the Ke- malist Turks, supplying them with munitions and trained ability neces- sary to overthrow the Greek advance in Asia Minor. The defeat of the Greeks was a rout. Lloyd George then went into the discard because England would not support him in war the pirpose of which was to grab the Turkish oil fields. The Kemalists as- sumed an exaggerated ego and told the big powers in polite language to chase themselves.
 Meanwhile, the Lausanne confer ence dragged on getting nowhere, and one day the whole crowd of European nesJers went into the air on an an nouncement that Turkey had granted vast concessions to an American syn. dicate headed by Admiral Chester. While the Europeans were trying to steal the concessions, the private con- cern from America stepped in and skinned off the cream, because, ac- cording to the Turks, they knew how to do business on a business basis, paying a fair price for their privileges
 The United States, however, has taken no stand on the Chester conces-
