SMOOT HAS Plan
FOR Luxury TAX.
Would Exempt Farmers Sales
But Include $3.50 Shoes

Salt Lake City, Aug. 31.--A levy on
luxurious and extravagant purchases
is the purpose of an expenditure tax
which is being prepared by Senator
Smoot, to be presented to congress
as a substitute for the. proposed. sales
tax, according to announcement made
by the senator here.
Senator Smooth said that all farm
ers' sales up to $4,000 would be ex-
emp under the bill.
Commodities such as a $3.50 pair
of shoes or an inexpensive automo-
bile would not be taxed, but expens-
i've purchases, such as $4,000 au-
tomobile or $3.50 pair of shoes,
would be taxed at the rate of one and
one-hhlf per cent.
THE sales tax, which caused con-
siderable debate at the last session of
congress, will not be revived" Sena-
tor Smoot said, but in its place will
be proposed the expenditure tax.
which l think will be more service
able and cause less opposition. ! do
not expect any opposition from the
farmers on account of the exemption
up to the $4,000 mark.
"A man who can buy $4,000 au-
tomobile can afford to pay a tax on
his purchase, Senator Smoot said ut
is for that reason that the tax is to be
drawn upon graduated scale. EX-
pensive purchases will draw heav-
Ter. rate. The tax rate on a $500 pur-
chase will amount to $3.50 under the
provision of the proposed measure"
Senator Snoot is strong believer
In the workability of a sales tax or
the proposed expenditure tax. He
explained that considerable opposi
ton was made to similar taxation
when it was proposed in Canada. but
said that the opposition had vanished
and farmers there were now strong
advocates of that form of taxation
I'm England. Germany and other
European countries" he said. the

cepted as the most advisable form of

The blouse of crepe de chine has a

Under the arms are a lot of tricky pin

Officers Looking for COIOred Man Who

Forged checks are starting to make
their appearance in Dover. On Satur-
day night a colofed man entered the
store of Morris Simon and, after
making several purchases, presented
a check for an amount in excess of
that of the purchases and asked that
it be cashed. The request was COM
piled with and when the check was
deposited in local bank on which it
had been drawn it was returned with
the information that no account had
been ever opened there under that
name. The check was made payable
to George Merrill and was signed by
James ShOckley. 1t was endorsed by
the man who presented it under the
name of Edward Andrews. Shockley
is colored man employed at a local
garage and when confronted with the
check, denied all knowledge of it and
comparison showed that the hand
writing was not his. The colOred man
who presented the check is described
as being very dark and rather tall

Several new locations are being made

According to T. Fl. Horn and II. T..
Grain, lease men in the field who were
in San Antonio last week, the Ina Oil
Company is setting casing in its No. 2
well and is preparing to drill in during
the next two or three days. Casing in
this well'is being set at 900 feet. which
is slightly above the depth of the first
pay sand in the No. /. The No. l

GUADALUPE COUNTY
is DUE FOR ACTIVE
WILDCAT CAMPAIGN
Several Companies Pre-
pare to Spud in Tests
for Oil.

Seguin, Tex, Sept. S.-The Carter
Oil company is about ready to begin
operations on the Weinert ranch,
about sixteen miles south of Seguin,
while the United North and South
concern is arranging to wildcat the
eastern portion of Guadalupe coun-
ty.
Other new operating companies are
also going into the eastern territory
of the county.
The derrick is up and drilling rigs
being moved on the NJ. Miller survey
northeast of Seguin, where Doty
Brothers will begin work within the
next few days.
A few miles east Of town the
Rydell Company has erected a der
rick and machinery is being moved
in on the Faqua league, while the
Plateau Oil company of Houston
will soon be ready for drilling just
west of Seguin and south of the
Guadalupe river.
Active drilling has started on the
August Schuenemann farm by the
Trinity Drillers company. This well
is situated in the Mill Creek region,
about six miles east of Seguin.
The recent heavy rains throughout
the county have interfered TO some
extent with drilling operations, but
work will proceed with renewed ac-
tivity as soon as good weather sets
in again.

FIND OIL SAND
High-grade Crude Reported Encoun.
tered in Elm Well.

Miranda City, Tex, Sept. S.-The
Elm Oil and Gas Trust. drilling on
block Is, Las Animas grant of the
Holbein ranch, Jim Hogg county. has
picked up high-gnde oil sand at
2100 feet. Casing is set at 2020 feet.
A core taken at 2020 feet showed
an oil and gas sand but when the
well was drilled in water was pres
ent and the well was drilled deeper
and the high-grade oil was found at
2100 feet. This oil is like the oil
found in the Hughes. Butler and Nc
hurry No. 1 north of clifton and in
the Magnolia No. II in the Schott
field. In the former well the oil
was not in paying quantities but in
the Magnolia we'll it is making 40 bar
rels day.
From the well on survey 33S north
of clifton TO the Elm No. . in Jim
Hogg county it is about eighteen miles.
In the Hughes, Butler and McMurry
No. / the oil was found at 2060
feet. In the Magnolia No. 12 il was
found at 1887 to 1947 feet. In the
Elm it is at 2100 feet. This prac-
tically proves that this deep high
grade sand underlies a large area in
the oil district along the escarpment.
