PROPOSE
SPECIAL
SESSION
State Legislature M a y
Meet To Discuss Crit

BOND ISSUE URGED
Would Provide Aid For
Workers And Be Paid
By Raising Gas Tax.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Aug. 26. U.D
Plans for a proposed special session
of the legislature for the purpose
of dealing with the problems of un-
employed, oil and water conserya-
ton were being considered here to-
day.
With the announcement late yes
terday by Governor RoIpn that he
was willing" to call special ses-
sion, particularly for the consider
alton of unemployment relief, def
mite proposals were being worked
out.
AS the first step toward the re-
lief of the ''serious unemployment
situation" the governor announced
the appointment of a committee of
five, headed by Archbishop Edward
J. Hanna, San Francisco, under au-
thority of an act passed by the 1881
legislature. appropriating $4,000 for
an unemployment study.
Other committee members are O.
K. Gushing, San Francisco attor-
ney; Harry J. Bauer, Los Angeles:
Will j. French, San Francisco, state
director of industrial relations, and
Mrs. Rheba Crawford Splivalov, d.
rector of social welfare.
While unemployment appeared
the paramount issue, it was hoped
that the oil and water conservation
problems could be considered at the
same time in the event a special
session is called.
Marking a definite step In the
unemployment campaign, Colonel
Walter E. Garrison, director of pub
! lie works. announced that an addi-
tional $500 men would be given
part-time work on road projects be-
ginning October Is.
Urges Bond Issue
The proposal by Senator Roy
FELTON,, San Francisco, that $780,
100000 bond issue be submitted to
vote was offered at the meeting
yesterday that eliminated in the
extra session announcement.
The bonds, according to the plan,
would be repaid from income de-
rived from / cent increase in gas
oline taxes. The funds would be
used for county road construction
and maintenance.
State Treasurer Charles G. john
son, in proposing what in effect
would be dole system, was OPP
posed by other state officials.
A gasoline tax increase was fav-
ored by Johnson. inasmuch as "it
appears something must be done to
care for and feed the idle workers"
Approximately s16,00O.O00 could
be raised annually by the cent
tax increase.
In the event the special session
is necessary, it probably will be
called this fall, although no defin-
lite date has as yet been considered.

MORE COMPANIES

PRICE FOR OIL.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Aug.
rs. U.P)-Four oil companies will
post a top price of SLOT barrel
for crude oil before tonight. accord
ing to Cicero I. Murray, command
,er of the national guard troops in
the oil fields, and cousin of Gov,
William H. (Alfalfa Bib Murray.
If these four companies-said to
be Stanolind Crude Oil, Carter Oil
and Magnolia Oil. all Standard sub
salaries, and Texas Company
join the Phillips Petroleum Com
pany in offering ST or more, it was
regarded as certain that Alfalfa
Bill" would recall his troops and
allow the flush fields to be reop-
ened.
When the fields were closed three
weeks ago, Murray said he would
keep them closed until the price
went to ST barrel and the oil COM
panies promised to keep it there.
He has refused to dicker with in
dividual companies, insisting the
purchasers get together on their
promises. but it was believed that if
these companies named will meet
the 81 demanded. the others will
fall in line.
So far Phillips is the only COM
pany that has publicly offered the
ST price.
More than 400 guardsmen were
to be demobilized in East Texas to-
day, leaving some 300 still on duty.

its worst today.
A sudden onrush of flames which
trapped and killed two men last
night, left fire fronts broken and
fire crews disorganized.
The situation was critical and
only favorable weather conditions,
it was believed, could save several
communities in the path of the
flames. These towns included Pho

Valley.
N. Warner, %, of Fillmore, Utah,
and Howard Harvey, Boise, were
trapped and burned to death on a
ridge while fighting the Pioneers

Bodies of the two men were burn
ed almost beyond recognition. They
had been so intent on fighting the
fire in front of them that they fail =
ed to notice fire behind.
Gradually the fire spread and the
two men we're surrounded by flames.
They fell, trying to break through
the Gordon of fire.
Fire crews labored throughout the
early morning hours fortifying new
fire fronts and preparing for what
appeared to be the worst day since
Quartsburg and Granite Creek went
up in flames last week.
