The state of Texas does not levy a tobacco tax and levies only one cent gallon on gasoline. As a re- suit, when the tobacco and gasoline tax laws were passed Texarkana was exempted from their provisions, It was provided. however, that when ever the state of Texas adopted such tax laws they also should apply to Texarkana,
 Thus, Texarkana. in Arkansas stands in the unique position of hav- ing it's tax laws. insofar as gasoline and tobacco are concerned, regulat- ed entirely by the laws of Texas.

NO WATERWAY RIVALRY

A big drive is being started to promote the devel-
opment Of the Lakesto Gulf water route. There so
many fine things about this project that it deserves
widespread attention. 1t seems wise and reasonable
that the Mississippi and its larger tributaries should
be developed and maintained navigable transpor-
tation system. 1t is essential however, that this pro-
ject should be carried out in such way that will not
harm any section Of the country in order to benefit
another.
In connecting the Mississippi waterway with the
Great Lakes capable farsighted engineers should
be consulted, who will not let one vision obscure
all others. 1t has already been said that this route
can be developed without taking from the Great Lakes
system anywhere much water as Chicago is de-
manding If the Great Lakes SYSTEM already carrying
the biggest fresh water in the world, were
harmed in order to create this Mississippi waterway,
the vision of prosperity would be shor-ved in its full
fillment Each should supplement the other-not in
terfere with the other.

the whole be considered in the development of any
