THIS IS YOUR TOWN
In supporting a trade-at-home movement the Tribune
has no desire to dictate to its readers, but only to remind
that local merchants are depending on you. In order for a
local business firm to carry on, pay taxes, rent, and general
up keep toward the progress of the town, he must have the
local man's support.
4 It is to be granted that some items have to be purchased
in other cities, but the business man, school teacher, preach-
er or individual who buys out of town when he could have
bought at home is a "robber." He is taking his living
from the community without refeeding the life's blood of
the town.
This is your town, home of your Trades Day association,
your schools, churches and friends. Be a part of your town
and your town will be a part of you.

Texas workers receive one-half
of the money spent in the produc-
tion of Texas oil, according to a
booklet just issued by the Texas
Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Associa-
tion. The booklet, entitled "Import-
ant Facts About Texas Oil," now is
being distributed.
Wages and salaries to Texas oil
production workers amount to 49^4
per cent of the net cost of produc-
ing the average barrel of oil in
Texas, the booklet shows. One-
eighth of the net cost dollar goes to
Texas tax collectors for state and
local taxes. Supplies cost about
26V& per cent, while depreciation,
depletion, over-head and federal
taxes make up the remaining 11
To this net cost must be added
an extra one-eighth of the price of
the oil which is paid as royalty to
the Texas farmer or rancher who
owns the land on which the oil is
produced.
Texas petroleum workers and
Texas farmers together receive
$400,000,000 a year in wages and
salaries and lease and royalty pay-
ments from the Texas petroleum
industry, the book shows. Of this
huge sum, the workers get $272.
000,000 annually and the farmers
and other land-owners $128,000,000.
The $400,000,000 paid these two
groups is four-fifths of the total
value of all crude oil produced in
Texas.
