OKLAHOMA OIL PRODUCERS
WEEKLY NEWS LETTER
OKLAHOMA CITY (Special)— 1
taata Senator Ilarve N Langley of
-1-y-torPr y or one of the most active
4 1
-tmers of itat og legislation in recent
--ars sees nine reasons why Oklaho:--t
voters should vote No on the oil 1
tx bill submitted at thq November
lection proposing to Pubstitute a so 1
t-rIled ad valorem basis for the pres-
It straight 3 per cEtnt gross produc-
Vion tax on Oil and Minerals
Under the present law says Sena-
tor Langley Oil and gas bear a 3 per
cent tax based on thir sale price—
ft 100 per cent assessment The law
provides that when rural property
taxes exceed that rate Oil shall be
"increased to conform There is no
provIsion- for a decrease in the oil tax
it t1 rnorrty tax is lower
l'Ht is TArcley's reason No I
9The others' follow:
Th avelage ad valorem tax
rate in the state not cbugting
and towns for oil is a product ot the
country is about 26 per cent based
n assessment equal to only CO per
clet‘t of the market value Of the prop-
forty Oil and gas therefore bear
abont twice as much tax on the dollar
nsother property at full value
H IL HENNINGER PAUL BILBY
3 The pncsent oil tax goes into
the state treasury to pay the cost of
state government as provided by the
legislature In 1921 and 1922 oil
paid the total cost of state governh
Iment other property nothing In
1926 oil will pay the total cost of
state government with its $12500000
contribution—Othtir property none
1
!If the legislature has enough money
to meet its demands why provide
more? To proviell it more will teach
it extravagance and many believe it
knows extravagance now
d An increase in thi tax on oil
and gas will likewise increase the
price that Oklahomans will pay for
gasoline and other byproducts of oil
Why votel a tax of questionable
justice on the oil industry when you
must pay the bill?
5 Initiative Bill 89 proposes to
change the 3 per cent tax to a differ-
ent rate each year—the average of all
ad valorem rates cities and toms
included Thousands of lawsuits
each year tie up local levies until their
legatity is determined This will ex-
empt oil and gas from any payment
for an indefinite period for no ens
will know what the average rate is
until all the levies for a given year
are established Who will pay the
cost of state government while oil

taxes are held up for years by local

6 Initiated Bill 89 is designed to
raise taxes One raise will call for
another Ad valorem property is
next in line Voters should go easy
and be careful--bettdr to associate
for reduction of taxes generally than
to increase the etXaction from any
class
7 Oil and gas producers do not
object to paying the 3 per cent tax
But to increase thel tax would cause
discrimination against Oklahoma oil
in comparison with other states be-
cause of the greater tax item in 00
production cost and consequently in
