VITAL MEASURES PASSED
BY SPECIAL SESSION
(Hy Senator Tucker)
The recent session of the legisla-
ture was in many respects the most
r. niarkable one in the history of Olt-
h.homa. Krom the moment the gov-
ernor made public his Intention of
( lling an extra session the suggvs-
f'on was met by strong opposition
analing from all the different politi-
1 1 patt.es but coming chiefly from
a lass of political leaders who sought
prevent the passage of any mens-
- which would keep this state under
- com ml of the white race. The
sage of a general registration act
provisions of which are so fair
as -o meet w ith the approval of pvery
fa minded citizen of Oklahoma re-
ga: !Ip--s of his political affiliations
ha practically resulted in stopping
op; silion to the extra spssion from
r'e- in tbp democratic party. TIip
ml; 1. "ion of another "Grandfather
Clarse" to N eople Ht the August
clec; Ion has aiso helped to accom
plish 'the same end. There are of
course some special interests not at
all pleased which interests have been
curbed by laws passed at thin ses-
sion. These Interests have organ-
ized for the purpose of molding public
opinion against ihe administration.
There are at this time on thp go-
ernor's des-1; certain unapproved bills
amending the road laws and laws re-
lating to bonding counties for the pur-
pose of constructing permanent roads
which mean more to Hip people of
Carter county and to the people of
the entire slate Hum any measure
which has ever been before a legis-
lature in Oklahoma.
I have pledged the people of Carter
county this much: In Hip event
these measures are approved by Hie
chief executive and I expect him to
approve them permanent roads will
he built in Carter county or else the
fault will lie with the people and will
not be chargeable to the mistakes of
their representatives in the legisla
ture. I shall make it. my duty wJth
out calling upon mass meetings to
irrange the preliminaries lo see to It
that Carter county voles on whether
if not permanent roads are to he con
st met ed. As soon as the governor
acts on the measures referred to I
expect lo begin this effort.
The following are the most import-
int measures passed by the legisla
ture:
The three per cent gross produc
tion tax on oil and gas and other
mint nils.
The ami-usury law.
The general registration act and
grandfather" legislation.
inns having to do wit 11 the con
striiction of permanent state and
utility roads
I have been severely criticised by
lew oil operators for supporling
the act relating to the taxation of
il. but the three per cent rate is not
in excess of the average ad valorem
tax rate of Ihe stale. Three per cent
is too nigh a tax to pav and everv
man 111 Oklahoma regardless of what
lass 01 proporiv no is paying on. is
enig lorci'd to pay too much taxes.
but it is nothing but fair and eouit-
ble that the oil man should pav not
more than the other taxpayers of the
state hut he should be forced to pay
bis proportionate part nf the burdens
incident to the development of this
young state.
One per cent gross product ion tax
on oil and gas or one-third f the
total tax. goes 10 the county from
hich the oil is produced and ii
divided equally between the common
school fund and the road and bridge
fund of the county. The road fund
and school fund of the county under
present production in Carter county
will each reeeive from $2ih) to ti.'.'l
per day. This will greatly aid in
reducing taxes in this county and will
at the same time make it possible to
build permanent roads and give the
children of the rural districts better
and longer terms of schools.
I voted for the anti-usury law al-
though it does not meet my idea of
the best usury legislation. I expect
to publish at my own expense enough
copies of this bill to distribute the
same throughout my district and in
this way hope to receive valuable sug-
gestions from those most effected.
The legislature meets in regular ses-
sion next January and at that time
this information will serve to help
the legislature in properly amending
the statutes with reference to usury.
The law will not go into effect until
i) days after its passage and ap-
proval There is no doubt but it will
prevent any usury beingi collected
but. my objection to the measure is
based on the fear that it will ho un-
profitable for a bank to make short-
tune loans for small amounts under
the provisions of the bill and in some
nst.'incis the small borrower will go
without the money when he needs it
most. It is unfortunate that a great
economic quest ion like this should
have been passed upon at the shortest
session of the legislature ever held I
111 uKianoma. i-.very member had a
(linerent idea as to what was proper
and wise usury legislation and a
great wonder is that they ever agreed
on any bill. There were of course
some thirty or forty bills of more or
less importance to the people of the
state but the ones referred to are
the ones of most interest to the ma-
jority of people.
