INCREASE OF THE GROSS
PRODUCTION'
T A X
In changing the rate of the gross
production tax on oil in Oklahoma
and providing for the return of one
per cent of the three per cent now
fixed by law, to the counties in which
the oil is produced to be diseributed
pro rata among those counties in pro-
portion to production, the legislature
and the executive department of the
state government offered the argu-
ment that heretofore this great re
source has been paying less than its
proportionate share of the burdens
of taxation and that three per cent
of the value of the gross production
is more nearly equitable than the
former rate of two per cent, but that
it Is still below the average rate paid
by railroads and the agricultural and
business interests of the state.
It is but fair to the oil men to stat
that, they contend most earnestly
that the three per cent tax which is
now in effect is more than is paid by
other classes of property in the state
and that this rate Is, therefore, in
equitable and unjust. Part of the
(representatives from the oil fields
supported the increase while others
representing counties in the oil dis-
tricts bitterly and passionately assail-
ed the raise. The attitude of man
senators and representatives was (lis
tinetly rarsh, if not unfriendly, to
ward the big producers, and this tit
titudc they claim was justified by the
fact that the oil industry, which has
become the most valuable and pro-
ductive of any business in the stat.\
has heretofore paid little or no tax in
comparison with tlie millions that
have been drawn from the farmers,
railroads and other taxtable values
in the state.
The fact that practically, all the
payments under the two per cent law
have been made under protest, al-
though the protests were based up-
on an admittedly unfair provsion in
the former law which required the
producer to pay the tax on royalties,
had much influence in making the
legislative bodies a stern tribunal
when it came to asking for any con-
cnosions to the oil men and their
"pcnliar industry. The fact
, -t O ".nst" passed a joint resolu-
t' n -"bm'tt'ng to a vote of the peo-
ple a constitutional amendment pro-
viding for a four per cent tax would
have resulted in a final determina-
tion to leave the rate In the bill at
two per cent had the houso likewise
passed the constitutional amendment
or at least that is the belief of many
who were clloselv identified with
The constitutional

THE MOST DARING
The afternoon tea was in progress.
Music pulsated on the air; lights
labored to shine through opaque or
colored globes. The place was
crowded, with women predominat
ing. A dance was in progress.
Finally she appeared.
There was nothing especially re-
markable about her. She was armed
neither by magnificance nor a de-
fiant manner. She was unassuming.
fHer manner of presenting herself
was somewhat timid. And yet her
appearance created consternation.
The music ceased; the dancers stop
ped short; two women fainted; sev-
eral men grabbed decanters and
drank hurriedly; the proprietor
rushed forward in alarm as to her
sanity. There was an uproar—a po-
liceman was called.
She had appeared without one
piece of fur on her costume.

MAKING THINGS RIGHT
"Theee rooms are cold. That
thermometer only registers 55."
"Why don't you send for the jan-
itor to tinker up the radiator?"
"Wouldn't do any good. He'd want
to tinker up the thermometer and
let it go at that."
pending to be voted upon by the peo-
ple it was believed that a two cent
rate in the bill would stop litigation
and put the oil companies and pro
ducei 011 their good behavior during
the ctmpaign period at least, but the
house would have none of tne eonsti
tutlonal amendment and by a clos<
ote concurred in the senate amend-
ment fixing the rate at three per
cent.
The bill is now the law and with
provision for returning one ]:er cent
of that amount to the counties am
for collecting only an equitable pro
portion of the tax from the producei
and holding the royalty owner res-
ponsible for his share of the tax, it
is believed that the new law will
work more successfully and give bet-
ter results with less litigation than
the old law with its admitted impel
fections. If the oil companies are
able to show the next legislature,
which meets in less than one year,
that the rate as fixed in the new bill
is too high and the burdens inequit-
able, they will have little difficulty
in getting a readjustment, but as a
result of their long fights against
paying any tax. the majority of the
producers were in poor shape to in
sist upon kind treatment or even
secure equity at the the hands of the
special session.
The new law is enforceable and if
oil keeps tip in value the income from
that source in ensuing years should
make an appreciable reduction in the
rate of taxation not only in the oil
counties, but all over the state and
the oil producers will then he entit!
ed to enjoy their share of this reduc-
tion.
