Tip* oil Taxes
Texas Press Legislative Bureau
AUSTIN—Aa a tax measure of ma-
jor Interest, the sales tax which was
the subject of a great deal of dis-
cussion during the early days of
the session, has given way to other
tax proposals. A suggestion*, which
at tbe present time Is claiming mors
attention than any other single tax
measure, Is one which proposes a
radical departure In raising revenue
and controlling production of oil.
eOo
The proposal embodies a repeal of
the gasoline tax and the gross pro-
duction tax on oil as its major reve-
nue features. By a sharply graduat-
ed tax on oil production, beginning,
in some bills carrying the Idea Into
effect, with one cent per barrel on
production from wells with maximum
dally output of five barrels and scal-
ing up to much higher rates as the
per well production increases. The
top bracket calls for $1 per barrel
tax on production of well in excess
of 1,000 barrels per day.
eOo
The bills on this subject carry into
effect suggestions made 'by Ernest
O. Thompson, member of the Rail-
road Commission, who claims that
problems of both oil conservation
and taxation would be solved by its
adoption. The graduated tax on oil
production, supporters of the bill
claim, and at the same time provide
an easy and equitable means of ob-
taining revenue. The bill is facing
determined opposition, and the chief
argument offered against It Is that
It will place Texas oil at a disad-
vantage by imposing a serious price
differential. Hearings are being held,
and the measure will doubtless un-
dergo considerable modification. Opin-
ion seems to be that while the
proposal in Its present form has
little chance of adoption, there is
a strong likelihood that the pres-
ent State production tax on oil of
two per cent of Its sale price will
be change to a definite sum per bar-
rel. This would stabilize Plate In-
come from this source.

The Comptroller at present has
a field force of only thirty men. Un-

made possible by, reducing salaries

STATE DEPJUITMENT
GIVES INFORMATION
RELATIVE TO MEASLES
AUSTIN, March 7.—From reports
reaching the Texas State Depart-
ment of Health It seems as though
measles are quite prevalent through-
out the State. Dr. John W. Brown,
State Health Officer, has the follow-
ing to say in regard to this dis-
ease.
“Many persons still insist that
measles are nothing serious and that
children should get them early and
get It over with. However, measles
are a very widespread, highly con-
tagious diseases* and over one hun-
dred children In Texas die of them
each year. Children generally have
active disease seven to 14 days after
contact with a persons 111 with
measles. Children must be excluded
from school for a period of 21 days
from onset. »
“One never knows at the begin-
ning how serious the attack will be,
so a physician should be called when
measles is suspected. Most deaths
from this disease occur In children
under five years of age. If you have
a baby or very young child, your
first consideration must be to keep
him out of houses where measles
exist. Prevent him from playing with
children who, you think, may have
the disease.
“It your child shows signs of
measles, running nose, sneezing, eyes
red and watery, put him to bed at
once. While waiting for the doctor
see that the child is kept warm.
The room should be well ventilated,
but glare and draughts prevented.
Give him a light diet of milk, soup,
and cereal. Keep him In bed until
the doctor permits him to be up.
When recovering from measles he is
less able to withstand other diseases.
The doctor should see the child two
or three times in a year following
recovery to guard against bad after
effects.”

to dispose of or assist in disposing j Saturday looking over his farm,
of any crops given as security for

ideal for severe utility use.
A new and slightly smaller Chev-
rolet has been rumored In trade
circles periodically since April of
1932, a circumstance which Mr.
Knudsen attributed to the fact that
the new line of cars has been under
development for two years. It will
be a quality line throughout, machin-
ed to the same close limits as the
present Chevrolet and built of the
same raw materials, although it
will have a slightly shorter wheel-
base and will lack some of the fea-
tures and Improvements of the
present Master Six line.

The field men have many other!FREESTONE COUNTY
duties, such as auditing records of
county tax collectors and generally
protecting the State’s interest* in
tax matters. It Is obvious that such
a small force cannot adequately
deal with the thousands of different
persons, firms, corporations and
county officials, throughout the
State. Serious leaks In State reve-
nue are inevitable. Comptroller Shep-
patd estimates that at Isast five
million dollars is lost annually in
evasions of the gasoline tax snd
cigarette tax besides considerable
losses In Inheritance taxes had
losses In advalorem taxes, because
of Inability of the field men to -make

George Sheppard, who has estimated
that racketeers who evade the gaa
tax are robbing the state of millions
each year because of Inadequate pro-
visions for enforcement In the pres-

Under the new bill the comptroller

as such, and violation Is mods o

state Is losing at least $4,000,000 In

mous and varied bootleg racket
which finds vast profit In evading
a high tax.
