When the President ca'mf into power business was flat on its hack and business men-bankers, utility executives, investment bankers, were in a of disgrace. The public naturally supposed that Roosevelt would turn upon them wilh unexampled vigor and enmity. Hooscvelt Called Husiness Kirsl Thc President, of course, in and addresses did attack business abuses. Who would not have done Bill the moment ho was inaugurated he invited the business men of Die nation tn Washington and literally lurn- ecl things- over to them. Few will recall this out of the mists of the la.sl six years.

A nex lax on livestock auctioneers to provide funds to match federal moneys available for combatting Bang's disease among cattle.

An increase from 1 to 7 cents on each gallon of gasoline sold. A new ad valorem tax on oil royal- tiofs. The governor said the sales tax increase had been proposed with the common schools, university, state supported colleges and the 'public welfare department to share the added revenues. The proposal for the half ccni in- crca.se in the gasoline lax contemplated the placing of the additional revenue in a fund to be used solely for construction of hard-surfaced roads, Bailey said. Thc governor Tuesday night was only aboul half way through a scries of conferences with heads of slate institutions and departments on biennial budgets to be submitted to the legislature for appropriations.

The conferences will continue Wednesday. Bailey said thnt some of the requests were "definitely in line with the previous appropriations." He said that if any trend had been developed, it was slightly upward. Legislative Strategy Some saw the suggestion of an increase in the gasoline tax as a buffer designed to offset demands for a rc- duclion and thus eventually result in a with the levy remaining at its present level.

Vesey of Hope announced here recently that he would attempt to obtain passage of a bill cutting the lax two cents a gallon. Boih houses in 11IIJ7 passed his bill calling fur a one-cent reduction but it was veined by Bailey, who said a reduction would constitute a violation ol the bond refunding act of 1934. Bailey said he was "delighled" with an announcement of Congressman E. C. of West Memphis that he would introduce a bill in congress to adjust freight rates.

The only dangerous group was the group investigating Wall Street, but that had been organized before Roosevelt was elected.

Schacht Arrives In the midst of ruffled Anglo-British fee mgs Hjalmar Schacht, president of the Reichsbank, arrived on an unofficial visit, reportedly to discuss tinancing Jewish emigration.
