Scramble for Tax
Allotment Perils
Beer in Arkansas
Governor Has Decided
to Call Legislature
Into Session.
BY THOMAS J. BRANsFoRD

bI ThOmAS j. 0NANSfOAU
Special Dispatch TO The Star.
LITTLE ROCK. July 2s.-with
Arkansas voting to repeal the eighteenth
amendment and strong possibility
that Gov. j. Marion Futrell will call
special session Of the Legislature to
legalize the sale Of beer. there has
been q mad scramble for an allotment
of beer taxes. And 1t has been pre-
dicted by Lieut.. Gov Lee Casort that
this will spell the doom Of beer legis-
lation.
State oflicials contend the taxes should
go into the general revenue fund. Judge
Joseph M. Hill. chairman Of the Board
of Trustees of the State tuberculosis
Sanatorium at Bonneville. has requested
the Governor to urge the Legislature to
allot a substantial part Of the beer reve-
nue. to pay for the upkeep Of tubercular
patients at the sanatorium.
School Fund.
Lieut.. Gov. Cazort has urged that
the revenue be paid into the common
school fund and avoid the wrangling
that will result If an attempt is made
to split the taxes up among several
agencies.
Gov. Futrell made it known he will
call a special session Of the Legislature
as soon as q bill has been drafted and
approved by "a safe majority" Of both
houses Legislators who are preparing
b>er bills have been told by the Cover
nor to send copies to members Of both
houses and the one receiving the ap-
proval Of the majority will be intro
duced at the special session.
However, the county judges, mayors
and stubborn members OF the Legis-
lature may wreck the whole scheme.
Several county judges announced that
they would make determined fight for
the counties to share in the revenue.
Mayors Convention.
A delegation Of mayors from the 18
largest towns and cities in the State
met here July 20. drew up q resolution
and presented it to the Governor. They
seek to incorporate in the beer bill {.
provision that municipalities may
license and regulate the sale OF alcoholic
beverages "in addition to and inde-
pendent Of any license that may be
levied for State, county and school
purposes"

MISSISSIPPI BEGINS
FLOWING UP COTTON
Farmers Expected to Receive
$4,000, 900 From Government
for Acreage Reduction.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
JACKSON, Miss, July 29.-Missis-
sippi farmers began the work Of turn
ing under approximately 1000, 600 acres
OF cotton this week despite the delay
caused by excessive rains. 1t Is esti-
mated that under the Federal plan of
cotton destruction the State will get
approximately 100000 from the
United States through the farmers who
signed the agreement and who were
granted permits to "plow."
While the plowinR is Koiug ON, the
Mississippi political whirligig spins on.
The latest indication Of widening
breach between United States Senator
Pat Harrison and Gov. Mike Conner
came out in q newspaper story that
Senator Harrison had opposed the ap-
potntment Of George Noble as State
Unemployment director. Noble, State
Senator and close to Gov Conner, ac-
cording to the dispatch was appoint
ed and has assumed his duties.
The reason given for the opposition Of
Senator Harrison was that Senator
Noble was too close to Conner"
Senator Harrison and Gov. Conner
have had tilts at the national Demo-
cratic conventions. However, Senator
Harrison was usually able to get more
than . $3.50 break. Now, with the
reported opposition Of Harrison to the
appointment of Mobiles, Il u more than
likely that supporter Of Conner VIII

VALLEY
PLANS OUTLINED
David E. LiIienthaI Pays
Surprise Visit to Ask
City Facts.
BY THOMAS FAUNTLEROY.
)iSpatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 29.-Follow.
ing a surprise personal visit by DeVlo
=. Iilienthal, member Of the Tennessee
Valley Authority, to the heads OF the
Memphis legal department early TINS
week, Tennessee cities which nope 70
profit by power from Muscle Shoals
have the first intimation of the plan 70
be pursued in securing the power
It was laid down as the policy OF tne
authority that while the cities have nrst
call on the power that Is TO oe eeneI-
ated, II they fail to put In their bios
befors distribution Of available power
has been arranged they will have to
take their chances.
While the City of Memphis was par
ticularly in mind, there is little doubt
that Nashville, Chattanooga and Knox
vile will come under the same general
survey that Memphis viii make. This
means that the cities will be required TO
marshal their facts, and present to the
valley authority the following facts:
l. Does the city have the legal right
to buy and distribute electricity?
2. What is the quantity Of power that
can be used?
8. What could the users profitably pay
for 1t at a saving over the present price
OF electricity?
4. What is the quantity of power that
can be sold at intermediate points.
Since this is the first general state
ment Of the authority's position on the
distribution of power to cities, 1t has
aroused more than usual interest. While
the authority has the right to build
high-tension power transmission lines
to hook up with distribution systems in
the cities, it was not understood until
Mr.. Llienthal's visit that unless the
authority can be definitely shown that
the consumption Of power will make the
building of such lines profitable, then
the lines will not be built.
Wholesaler Of Power.
The authority is to be a wholesaler
of power, and Mr.. IilienthaIs visit is
in the capacity of a salesman inquiring
into the power market and determining
what distribution facilities exist This
will include figures on the value of the
present distribution systems in the large
cities, the extent of the cities authority
to acquire those systems and a COM
plete classification Of the industries de-
pending on power or that would depend
on it.
There has always been an impression
among the agitators Of the Muscle
Shoals project that the Government
should 60 into the general power dis
tributing business. This would include
not only the building Of transmission
lines. but the building or acquiring of
distributing systems In the larger cities
where these systems run into the mil
lions Of dollars In value, the task might
involve tremendous legal tangles. Mr..
Llienthal explains that the authority has
no intention of going into this sort of
business, except that it will supply q
limited number of small towns and .ural
communities.
