Austin, Tex.,- March 6:■ (IIP)'
Texas legislators tonight end-
ed’ their eighth week in session
with three important measures
in positionTor early considers
tion=taxes', toil regulation',
and truck load limitation.
Work, will be resumed-Mon-
day. .
The house taxation commit-
tee gave: favorable reports to
two tax. bills, an. omnibus-bill
for conservative'members and
a $42,000,000 a year process-
ing tax on gasoline.- The latter
bill was described! as- oine: that
liberal'IheinbfTb,- and Gov; W.
Lee O’Daniel, night support if
they thought the omnibus bill,
estimated to' raise $L4't460i;dO0
a year, off*; ed’too little.
The- processing, tax bill, one
cent a gallon on' all Texas-
made gasoline, would' rtise an
estimated $87,000,000 a year,
hut it abolishes the fosr-cerit
retail gasoline tax which now.
brings in about $36,000,000 a
year.
Rep.- O. C. Morris of Green-
ville gave notice that he will
attempt to bring the omnibus
tax- bill up for -floor considera-
tion Monday.
The house state a Sain com-
mittee made an 11 to 8 favor-
able report on the bill to di-
-vorceoilamk regulation
from the Texas railroad com-
mission and give it to a sepa-
rate three-member commission
to be named toy the governor.
Rep. / Houston McMurry of
Henrietta, author of the bill,
said he hoped to bring it to the
floor in “two or three weeks.”
A third controversial sub-
ject, the truckload limit, was
carried over in the senate from
tod. v until next Wednesday.
The couse voted to raise the
preseni 7,000-pound net load
' limit to 36,000 gross weight.
The senate committee recom-
mended a 48,000-pound gross
weight lim and it was con-
sidered liki that the whole
senate would ompromise up-
on a 30,000 pound-or a 40,000-
pound top.
Another futile attempt was
made today in the. house to
force action on the governor’s
$26,820,000 a year- appropria-
tion for social security proj-
ects, but opponents urged ac-
tion.first on a tax bill.

FARM CASH INCOME
GAINS 26 PER CENT
Austin, Tex.—With January
setting a fast pace, a Univer-
sity of Texas agricultural sta-
tistician predicts 1941’s farm
cash income in Texas will ex-
ceed that of the past several
years.
An almost unprecedented
favorable range and livestock
condition coupled with a grow-
ing income from livestock and
livestock products afford the
basis on which Dr. F. A. Bue-
chel, associate director of the
University’* Bureau of Busi-
ness Research, anticipates
farm prosperity. He also noted
rising production and prices
in the dairy and poultry in-
dustries.
In January, Texas farmers
received-$21,414,000 for their
products, a gain of 26 per cent
over January, 1940, be point-
ed out.

of commercial proportions.
There was a hint that distillate
was included in the heavy gas
flow, but this could not be con-
firmed at the well.
Authoritative sources said
the well was about 14 feet into
a gas-producing formation,
which was not logged definite-
ly. Since the drill bit went in-
to the formation, it has not
been carefully cheeked.
The hole is bottomed at 6632
feet, and gas first was touched
at 6518-feet, It is believed.
The well hit waa shortly af-
ter a core taken Tuesday re-
vealed nothing. The well was
cored from 6477 to 8498, then
drilling was resumed.
The bit had gone down only
a few feet before the gas start-
ed rolling.
Workmen labored all Tues-
day night to bring the well un-
der control, and were standing
by Wednesday to make certain
the gas pressure does not over-
come the pressure exerted by
pumps, drill stem, water and
mud.
For a time Tuesday night,
while mud was being put Into
the hole, the drill stem bounc-
ed up and down "like a rub-

tators. This means the full
