Members of the Arkansas Press As
sociation who visited the oil fields Of
south Arkansas last week were amazed
by all they saw Editors as a rule
are hogs for statistics, but they were
simply overwhelmed by the mass Of
figures which inadequatcly tell the
story of the miraculous developments
of the oil fields of Arkansas during
the last four years.
There has been total of 6,500 wells
drilled i'm sixty-six counties Of the
state. but only four of the counties
are producing, Union, Columbia. Neva-
da and Ouachita. Since 1921 there
has been. II is estimated, S1S1 ,000,000.-
90. expended in development, and the
returns upon this investment have been
several hundred per cent. Probably
half billion dollars has flowed into
the pockets Of Arkansas citizens from
the liquid gold of their oil wells. The
oil fields are now producing an aver
age of 100000 barrels daily. making
this the third state of the Union in
production. 1t is exceeded only by
California and Texas. The price of
crude oil varies greatly, from GO cents
to S1.S5 per barrel and it is now as
nearly stable as ever at $1.00. Arkan-
sas has been ahead of Louisiana in
production for the past . years, and
recently passed Oklahoma. AT the
present rate Of production and price
our oil wells are bringing into the
state daily about half a million dollars

democratic, a bond payer and not a
road builder" as it would force one
citizen to pay taxes to alleviate the
self-imposed bonded Indebtedness of
another citizen in another county
where the interests of the citizens are
not identical" The resolution further
declares that the Rainey Williamson
bill is gigantic scheme to foist upon
the people perpetual bonded indebt-
edness of $40, 42,10O,O0O.O0 At the same
time was adopted another resolution
commenting Governor Terral "for his
firm refusal to call an extra session
of the Arkansas Legislature for re-
medal road legislation or for any
other purpose
Senators Rainey, Diesch and Du-
Laney are conducting an extensive
campaign over the state for the pur-
pose of arousing interest in the pro
posed extra session. Another leader
in the movement is Representative
John W. Nance of Benton County. The
Commission is making thorough in
vestigation not only Of conditions af-
fecting the highway situation in every
county in Arkansas, but of highway
laws i'm other states. 1t is said that
Kansas is the only other state in the
Union that assesses adjoining real es-
tate for the purpose of constructing
and maintaining public highways; and
in that state the abutting property
cannot be assessed for more than
twelve and half per cent of the total
cost.
There is a strong sentiment in many
counties. such as Mississippi, in favor
Of an extra session. The Blytheville
Courier is leading the movement in
that section of the state and is con
demning the Governor roundly for his
"stubbornness" i'm refusing to call the
session. The Little River County Road
Relief Association has been organized
at AshdOwn for the purpose of pro-
noting interest in demedial legisla-
ton. James II. Williams, secretary of
the association, says:
at is quite evident that the road
problem in this state is not fully un-
derstood by all the people. The con-
ditions are really appalling in some
of our heavily bonded counties where
the state highways have been con-
structed and improved under the spec
ial road improvement district system.
If the shadow of some great catas-
trophe should fall across third of
this state, sweeping before it the homes
and lifetime savings of hundreds of
its citizens, the people of the entire
state would with one mind, voice and
common consent appeal to the legisla-
ture for immediate action in granting
relief measures. Such condition now
confrOnts u.s. A very large number of
our people cannot pay the taxes and
support their families in these over
burdened districts, and in consequence,
homes and farms are being lost and
abandoned, and the agricultural de
velopment is at Il period of time stag
nation. We believe in the people of
this commonwealth of ours in which
We have an interest in common, and
that when the problem is presented to
them in detail and they have full
of the situation and condi-
tions. ii will be solved upon solid prin-
ciples of common justice, fairness and

1t is probable that another meeting

ENGLISH ALARMED
 ABOUT COMMUNISM
Cabinet Now Considering the
 Matter

London, May 14, AP)-Alarm over the growth of communism in Great Britain which has been voiced widely through the press recently seems 10 have invaded the British cabinet. It is understood that it Is considering the advisabilty of re- fusing all foreign communists per- mission 10 enter this country for the annual conference of British com- nuniSts which opens at Glasgow, Scotland. May 3l.
 The cabinets reported attitude is reearded more or less as an admis- sion of the governments anxiety over the rapid growth of the com munist element since the barriers to its members entering this country were removed by the late labor gov ernmcnt. It is considered also as a warning Of the conservative govern mcnt's determination to keep known
 revorutinrists out of Great Britain.
 r. is avou cd that the question of barring foreign radicals from the
 affairs of English communists was
 brought before the cabinet som" weeks ago az Dc result of a home office investigation which led to the
 discovery of a plot against the life Of Foreign Secretary Chamberlain.
 No perliam entnry authority would
 bo required for the cabinet 10 ef-
 feet the exclusion Of communists It
 nlreedy has such power under the
 Immigration act. and 1t now seems
 rrohabl" that power will be cHer-
 cigcd before May Sl.

 On direct lines operating from the Bridgeport office to Washington, D. C., Philadelphia and Springfield, Mass, the call system has been sue cessfully tried out.
 The present method of hanging up the receiver and waiting 10 be called back by the toll or long dis tance operator is forever abolished and thousands of hours will be saved by the new system, the com plete details of which have not been disclosed.
 Officials Of the s, N. F, Telephone Co. and the American Telephone and Telegraph O. have been in Bridge port since Monday watching the de- velopmcnt of the experiment.
 l. R. Harnny, local manager, said that on Tuesday, out of 5000 calls. S5 per cent were completed on the first attempt by the new method. Officials are confident that the adoption of the new service plan will be made.
