DALLAS, Tex. July "a swing of
public opinion in favor of production
proration in the East Texas oil field,
largely induced by fear of water in
truSion in many wells and low market
prices, was seen as the most encourag-
ing factor of this week by observers
of the industry.
There was little lessening of drill
ing and prospecting activity in the field,
new and menacing giant OIL the world
oil market horizon, as the Texas Rail-
road Commission deliberated at Austin
before setting the proration allowable
figure for July.
Seek Special Session.
Operators still were disputing as to
the proper method of proration and the
allowable figure that should be set.
Many still besieged Gov. Ross Sterling
with requests for special legislative
session to enact laws giving the Railroad
Commission teeth" for enforcing its
proration orders, heretofore boldly dis
regarded by many East Texas produc-
ers. But all seemed to agree on one
tning-that unrestricted production was
unwise and that, due either to hasty
and careless drilling or to uncurbed
flow, many wells faced the danger of
ruinous water intrusion.
Already the changed sentiment among
operators, in favor of reduced produc-
ton, had been reflected in production
figures for the week, the total OF 359, 704
barrels daily reported by the Oil and
Gas Journal showing a decrease of
1858 barrels daily from production

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, July 3-Little change
in the stock market is anticipated by
brokerage houses until the debt ques-
ton is settled.
Lamborn Hutchings & Co.'s soon
as the six months earnings reports are
out of the way it seems likely that
much of the interest which usually at
taches itself to the motors will become
increasingly evident in the tire stocks,
due to the genuine stimulus now being
felt in the industry.
E. F. Hutton g. Colt seems to US
that only after the foreign situation is
settled will it be possible to judge
whether the market can go ahead and
disregard the forthcoming second quar-
ter reports or elapse into irregularity
and dizziness.
Winthrop, Mitchell & Cove be-
lieve that France will ratify the Hoover
debt holiday plan and that stocks will
go higher.
Jackson Bros, Boesel & Coin view
of the indications of an increase in the
short position we would look for sharp
rally in the event that announcement
is made that the French objections to
the Hoover debt plan have been with
drawn. A reasonable compromise would
also be construed as bullish, we believe.

BUTLER FOR 5OPCT.
EDUCATIONAL TAX
Retired General Reveals Five
Billion Pledge for
Relief.
BY the Associated Press.
DIIYY AnET nITA

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, october "A
plan whereby wealth would be taxed
and the proceeds used for governmental
education of all youths was outlined
yesterday by Gen. Smedley D. Butler.
He said II multi-millionaires, repre-
senting wealth of $4,000, 000,0 900, had
announced themselves willing to give
so per cent of their money to back
his plan.
He warned that unless the scheme or
similar one was put into use soon
mob violence and revolution would face
the United States as a protest against
poverty, widespread unemployment and
unequal distribution of wealth.
Buffers plan contemplates taxation
of wealth, the proceeds to be appro-
priated by Congress for use directly
and indirectly for unemployment relief
by providing Nation wide school build
ing. construction and subsidies for in
Vention and infant industries.
He revealed that he had conferred,
at their request, with the millionaireS
on the serious situation confronting
the Republic" These men, he said,
stand ready to give up so per cent OF
their wealth by taxation to back his
plan, which, they believe, will block
by legislative action what mobs may
seek to achieve by force.
The men, whose names Butler re-
fused to reveal, are willing to relinqulsh
their money, he said, only on conoi-
ton II would be placed in the hands
OF an extra governmental agency not
controlled by politics.

10 CAPITAL DRIVERS
TAKEN IN TAG WAR
Truckmen Are Taken in Vir-
qinia Campaign to En-
force License Law.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


MCLEAN, Va, October 2.-State Traf-
fic Officer E. j. McDermott yesterday
arrested l9 Washington truck drivers on
charges of operating illegally In Virginia
on District of Columbia tags. The trucks
were engaged in hauling top soil from
farm at Lewinsville. near Mclean to
grading project in Washington near
Western High School.
The drivers were taken before Justice
of the Peace Clifton Laughlin of Nc
Lean, who required the owners to put
up bonds for the purchase Of Virginia
tags. Pending the arrival Of this bond
the Chain Bridge highway in the neigh
borhood of Mclean was lined with huge
trucks piled high with dirt. Laughltn
suspended the fines.
Under the Virginia law District of
Columbia cars and trucks carrying prod
uce from washington to Virginia are al
lowed to operate on District tags and
make deliveries of merchandise. This
does not allow these trucks to load up
for a return trip to Washington, how
ever. or to come from Washington empty
and return filled with Virginia truck.
This controversy has been in the
courts on numerous occasions in the
past few years. Most OF the large COM
panies In Washington whose trucks en-
ter Virginia on business have already
provided Virginia licenses. The State Is
watching the highways and has made
several arrests during the past year for
evaSionS Of the law. Yesterdays arrests
constituted one Of the largest hauls
ever made.
