Again he decided against it.
Lola was his sister-and his twin.
They were all that were left of the
family. One might think there was
nothing to hide in the fact that his
sister sent for him, but there was
much back of it. The Forbes were a
proud family and Lola had made
grave mistake. She had married
Vance Harlow-she had believed her
self in love with him. Vance had
turned out to be worse than a mere
william; he was the lowest of the low.
And Lola had an infant son.
Her love for her husband had fled,
yet she was proud. She would rather
die than have the world know what q
fool she had been and especially did
she want to hide the fact that her sor
had such a rotter for a father.
If Leland had told jeanette all about
this, Lola, he felt sure, would have
been very much hurt. No he couldn't
tell her. He would rush up to the ole
Connecticut homestead, see wha

Leland Forbes, author of many
books on bird life, accidentally meets
Jeanette Morse in Virginia. He learns
that she is the ]. Morse who has sup
lied all the photographs andd draw
ings to illustrate his books. Forbes,
heretofore always afraid of girls, is
amazed to find himself in love- And,
since jeanette loves him, they become
engaged and arrange for a speedy
marriage. Then Forbes received a
letter from a girl named Lola, begging
him to come to her, and he knows that
he must obey.

OIL INTERESTS
Beat BILL ON
HIGHER TAXES

AUSTIN, March 2l.-P-The oil
industry stood victor Thursday In
thes first skirmish of a campaign
To- Increased petroleum production
taxes but sponsors gathered their
forces for a showdown fight on the
floor Of the Texas house.
The revenue and taxation COM
mittee Wednesday night voted un-
favorable reports to two bills TO in
crease oil levies. One would have
boosted the tax to six cents per
barrel while the other proposed q
tax of three cents per barrel If the
posted price was less than 81 and
three per cent OF its value II more
than 81. The present tax is two
cents and two per cent.
To Keep Bills Alive
Representative A. K. Daniel Of
Crockett, author of the six cents
tax, and Representative ]. Doyle
Settle of Alternately, sponsor Of the
other bill, indicated they would seek
to keep the bills alive by having
them printed on minority report.
Daniel said he was confident the
house you'd override the commit
tees recommendation.
Il am interested in seeing these
oil babies pay their just share of the
tax burden" Daniel said. The an
nual value of Texas oil production
is $500, 600, 900 and the state collects
q measley 1000. 000."
A special subcommittee appointed
to study the bills reported the Tex
as oil industry is taxed more heav-
lily than in any other state, except
Louisiana and recommended the
bills be reported adversely. The
committee recommended an investi-
CATION Of the effect Of an increas-
ed tax IN Texas oil entering COM

The committee reported the total
OF existing taxes o each barrel OF
production at 5.43 cents. This in
cluded the severance tax. the levy
for support Of the railroad commits
sion, Taxes on producing equipment
and ad valorem taxes on the oil IN
place.
Oil Company Figures
Daniels challenged figures pres
ented by the subcommittee to sup
port its recommendation. They
were prepared by John T. Smith OF
Austin at request OF the sub-group.
Smith said his figures were gath
cred from several sources and that
much Of his data was furnished BY
major oil companies.
Daniels pounced on this as being
q biased source Of information.
The Subcommittee. report listed oil
taxes in California at 3.75 cents
per barrel and Oklahoma taxes al
three per cent Of the value.
The committee recommended ar
increase in the natural gas produc-
ton tax. now paying one-half Of

feet a quarter would be taxed al

JURYS LEGALITY
HIT BY OLDBERG
Former P. W. A. Official Files
Plea Against Conspiracy
Indictment.

The legality of the special grand
jury which indicted him and six others
for an alleged conspiracy to defraud
the Government in connection with a
P. w. A. project was attacked in a
plea of abatement filed in district
Supreme Court yesterday by Charles
r. Oldberg.
In his plea, filed through Attorneys
Milton King and Bernard Nordlinger
Oldberg claims two of the three jury
commissioners who picked the special
jury acted after their terms had ex-
pired. The two commissioners are
Horace G. Smith and Edwin C
Graham.
Oldbergs plea also charges the jurors
were drawn under an order issued by
Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat, al
though the law requires such an order
to be issued by the court sitting ir
general term.
Other alleged illegal moves cited
in Oldberg's plea are that the Dis
trict attorney failed to file sufficient
certificate of public necessity in call
ing the grand jury, that the jurors
should have been drawn under Fed
eral statute rather than a local stat
ute and that only two of the three
jury commissioners participated in
drawing the names.
Oldberg, at liberty under $1,000
bond, said through his attorneys that
he is anxious to stand trial whenever
it is established that legal indict-
ment has been returned against him

and socialism. Today there must be
restoration of faith, the removal of
fear and uncertainty that these ideals
and these hopes will not be open to
those who strive.
Opportunity Must Survive.
To the young men and women it is
vital that their opportunity in life
shall be preserved: that the frontiers
Of iBitiative and enterprise shall not
be closed; that their future shall not
be burdened by unbearable debt for
our follies: that their lives and op-
portunities shall not be circumscribed
and limited; that they shall have the
right to make their homes and careers
and achieve their own position in the
world. There are a host of problems
TO solve if we attain these ideals: but
again repeat, that the first condition
in their solution is orderly individual
liberty and responsible constitutional
government as opposed to un-American
RECOMMENDATION and bureaucratic domi-
nation.
