PropMedGu Tax
Would Add Barden
On 03 Producers
Proposals before the legisla-
ture to put more taxes on natural
gas will become an added burden
to practically all Texas oil and
gas producers who are already
the state’s number one indus-
trial taxpayers, V. A. Hrbacek,
local Oil Information Commit-
tee chairman, said this week.
“One of these bills, a so-called
tax on dedicated gas, is advocat-
ed as a tax that would only hit
big gas pipeline companies but
actually it will fall on Texas
producers,” be said.
"Many people who are aware
of the heavy taxes paid by the
state’s petroleum industry don’t
realize that gas producers and
oil producers in most instances
are the same taxpayers. Most gas
is found in the search for oil
and even 30 per cent of all Tex-
as gas comes out of the same
well as oil,” Mr. Hrbacek said.
He pointed out that oil and
gas producers' taxes in the last
fiscal year totaled $198 million
for the state government.
“Of this amount the producers
paid $42 million on natural gas
production under the present tax
of 7 per cent of the gross value.
No other business in Texas pays
such a high per cent of its gross
income as does tfre producer
when he sells his gas,” he said.
“It would be unfair to increase
it to 10 per cent as some are ad-
said. “Producers are already
vocating today,” the OIC leader
paying 30 per cent of every state
tax dollar collected and they ac-
count for two-thirds of all state
lax money collected from busi-
ness and property owners.”
He said Texas producers are
paying two-thirds of the state
costs for various state welfare
programs, including old age as-
sistance. They pay 45 per cent
of the state cost for public edu-
cation—one of the largest items
in the state budget.

ment of white larkspurs and pink

Texas Still Leader
In Rural Electricity
Texans have always done things
in a big way. And the construc-
tion and operation of electric sys-
tems through cooperatives are no
exception.
The Electric Cooperatives of
Texas have borrowed more mo-
ney <5226-million), built more lines
(146,000 miles), are serving more
people (338,000), have paid more
interest (925-miUioo), and have
paid back more money on their
loans < 540-million) than the co-
ops in any other state in the Union.
Part of the explanation lies in
the tremendous size of the Lone
Star State. Another reason lies
in the thousands of remote farms
and ranches that often required a
dozen miles of line just to serve
one member. . But perhaps the
most important consideration is
the courage and determination
Texas people have shown in get-
ting electricity on their farms and
ranches.
Fewer than 10 per cent bad elec-
tricity before the cooperatives
started. And 90 per cent who were
doing without were ready to say
good-bye to the kerosene lamp,
the old-fashioned scrap board, and
the wood stove. The Electric Co-
operatives have succeeded in elec-
trifying rural Texas in spite of
some king-size handicaps. New
techniques had to be devised to
insure cheaper distribution of elec-
tricity. An ingenious two-line dis-
tribution system was developed
and has become standard in most
rural areas.
The cooperatives were formed
with the understanding that the
people all over the area would be
served—regardless of their remote
location. This resulted in the con-
struction of a mile of line ,on the
average, to serve two consumers.
This Is a fantastic ratio when you
consider that most metropolitan
systems serve well over thirty-
three consumers per mile.
But in spite of the hardships that
had to be overcome, the coopera-
tives were equal to the task and
succeeded in bringing a new way
of Life to the rural community.
Today, some 400,000 rural Tex-
ans enjoy television, refrigeration,
electric lights, and hundreds of
labor-saving devices as a result of
membership in a business-man-
aged, tax-paying electric cooper-
ative.
