received about seven per cent, OF

today to have an important effect
upon the political fortunes of Ibn

One hundred Of the tribesmen,

within the Irak frontier for the

Charles p. Crane, of Chicago, for
mer American ambassador TO China,
and Mr.. Bilkerd were in a closed
automobile in advance Of the party
which was going from Basra to
koweit. As they passed through the

were no horses or camels near. Irak
shepherds had been warned of the
approach of the raiding tribesmen
and had driven their flocks to Zubeir,

legislators and persons interested in
highway affairs.
Davidson Hits Bond Issue
Neither Of the three speakers es-
poused any specific plan Of legisla-
tion, but Ousley and Johnson men
toned several things which they
thought would be included in the
program, and Davidson attacked the
proposal of q state bond issue.
Davidson said that IL a constitu-
tional amendment were passed al
lowing the legislature to authorize
the issuance of bonds, a dangerous
precedent would be established.
Counselling against haste in road
construction, Davidson reviewed the
highway accomplishments of the past
ten years.
The millionaire Houston lumber
man was questioned frequently near
the end Of his talk. In response to a
question from Representative Adrian
Pool of Fl Paso, he admitted that he
had supported several bond issues in
Harris county but said he thought
there was a distinction between
state and county bond issues.
JOnnsoh maps
Ousley scored what he termed the
injustiees of taxing counties to help
build state highways. He asked the
legislature to stop this practice and
to repay the counties for what they
had contributed to the state highway
system. He suggested an increase
in the gross receipts tax on common
carriers and q four-cent gasoline tax
Johnson discussed the inadvisabii-
ity of the present local aid policy
from the standpoint Of q member Of
the highway commission. He char
acterized it rs false both in prin-
ciple and practice.
