TULSA, Okla, June 29.The

basin development plan has re-
vived hope here in the ultimate at
tention of Washington to inn
provement of the snaky Arkansas
which heads in the perennial SHOWS
I.of the Rockies and empties into
the lower Mississippi.
Eventual development of the
Arkansas basin long has been a
dream of residents of the 100, O00-
square mile area, who talk of flood
control. irrigation, water power,
forestation of arid plains areas
and reforestation Of the timber
lands of the rivers lower reaches.
Development Move Reawakens
A regional society has grown ac-
tive here again. and its president,
Newt r. Graham, of Tulsa, has
spent much time in Washington
recently, urging Oklahoma con-
gressmen and senator's not to for
get the Arkansas when develop
ment projects are talked or the
new millions in public works
money is apportioned.
Long an enthusiast, Colonel
Clarence B. Douglas, of Tulsa,
special representative Of the In
land Waterways corporation, dis
cusses the possibility of barge
line operation as far upstream as
Tulsa, of irrigation for dry areas
in western Kansas and eastern
Colorado. and of power projects
combined with flood control res
ervoirs.
Rivers Are Prankish
For 1.460 miles the Arkansas
proper winds its tortuous way
from Leadville, Colo, to Arkan-
sas City, in the southeastern cor
ner of the state for which the riv-
er is named, sometimes playing
strange pranks, both comic and
tragic.

swirl from the stream bed. Again.

ior more wide and rushes down

rain.
Parts of Colorado, New Mexico,
Texas. Kansas, Missouri, Okla
homa and Arkansas comprise the
basin of the Arkansas.
A five-year army survey of the
basin has been completed, but the
results never have been made pub
lie. Flood control was the pri-
mary purpose of the survey. but
questions of irrigation, navigation,
water power and soil erosion also
were considered.

COUNTYSTUD|ES
TAX GUT PLAN

Arlington county will be a
virtual taxpayers Utopia under
a 5-year-plan being studied by
the Board of County Commis-
sioners which will be gradually
put into effect.
The Commissioners have al
ready lowered taxes levied on
real estate in the Northern Vir-
ginia county. Now the plan pro-
posed is:
Building up of roads and high
ways so that eventually the
County's portion Of the gasoline
tax will cover all maintenance
charges.
Making county services such as
the water system, trash and gar
bage collection service and the
like self supporting and thus re-
move the burden from taxpayers.
Reduction of the cost of
operating the county government.
County Manager Ray S. Braden
has been making for the past
year cost survey of all depart
ments under his direction and
other officials are said to be
doing likewise. Through this
study they hope to eliminate
waste and do away with fric-
ton between departments.

CAMP HAPPY |

Stories that there are many
cases of A. w. o. L., drunken
ness, discomfort, and bad food
at the Camp Roosevelt, No. i,
near Luray, Va, one of the many
reforestation camps, are untrue.
So reports Robert D. Fechner,
director of the Governments re-
forestation project, who made a
surprise visit to the camp yes
terday. Things are going
smoothly, the camp has passed
it's experimental stage, the men
are satisfied, and the food is ex-
cellent, according to Fechner.
The director, smelling the aroma
from the kitchen, sat down to a
big lunch of steak, peas, creamed
asparagus, mashed potatoes, coffee
and the best apple pie I have
ever eaten"
DesertionS? Out of 210 men,
there have been only eight, he
found.
Arrests? Only one man was
arrested.
Food? Good and plenty of it..
Two or three helpings if the men
want it.
Fechner circulated, unknown to
the foreSters, throughout the
camp and questioned the young
men, only to find that they are
we'll satisfied.

BL UE LAW CASE
APPEAL SEEN
AS BLOCKED
SmaIIness of Fine Provided
BY Law to Keep Dispute
In Lower Court

While there is much sentiment
against the Maryland blue law
which caused the arrest of M, D.
Shear, G. P. Minor and H. c.
Kearns, all Of Washington, for
moving furniture into a home in
Somerset, Md, on Sunday
little hope is held of the case
reaching the Circuit Court at
Rockville in event the men are
found guilty in police court,
May %.
The case has aroused the Ma
tional Association Opposed to
Blue Laws, which intends bring
ing Clarence Darrow, famous
Chicago lawyer, to Rockville to
fight the ancient law.
It has been 210 years since
the restrictions were placed on
the Maryland books, the laws
being enacted in 1928. The. case
cannot be appealed to the Cir
cult Court since a specific fine
of $5 is mentioned with no pro-
vision for any alternative. To
appeal a case the fine must be
$40 or more.
Resolving itself into a question
Of fact, the law provides only
two loopholes. If it can be
proved that the work done was
work Of necessity or charity, the
case will not hold up. The only
way to bring the matter to the
Circuit Court would be on a writ
of certiorari to test the consti-
tutionality of the law.
The Maryland Court of
Appeals, as late as 1919, held
that the section of the law in
which the warrant is drawn is
constitutional. The warrants
were sworn out by Leroy Weber,
of Somerset, Md, who said he
didn't know the men and that
he didn't belong to any church.
