Petroleum Industry
Taxes Higher
FT. WORTH, Texas—The Texas
petroleum industry's tax bill is
now more than $100,000,00 a year,
not including gasoline taxes paid
by Texas motorists, Arch H. Ro-
wan, Ft. Worth oilman, told mem-
bers of the standing committees
of the Mid-Continent Oil and Gas
Association here Thursday morn-
ing.
Texas oil producers alone are
paying $54,000,000 a year, an aver
age of over 11 cents a barrel on
all the oil they produce, Rowan
reported. They recently received
an increase of $10,000,000 a year
in State taxes, he noted.
As an employer, I look at the
ten million dollar increase in terms
of what that much money would
mean to the men and women em-
ployed by our industry, Rowan
said. If that sum had been added
to the payroll of the 40,000 Tex-
ans employed in producing oil, it
would have given every worker an
extra pay-check of $250 a year.
In looking beyond today, it is
necessary to consider the effect of
retrenchment of industry upon the
men and women who look to such
industry for their living and also
what would happen to the commu-
nity when industry is forced by ex-
cessive taxation to retard its opera-
tions. When we oilmen fight ef-
forts to increase our tax load, we
are not fighting for ourselves
alone. We are also fighting to
keep on our payrolls the men and
women who have made it possible
for us to operate our producing
properties.
While oil production tax rates
have been raised 45 per cent since
1935, total State and local tax
revenues collected from Texas oil
producers have jumped 90 per cent,
Rowan pointed out.
The fact that revenues have in-
creased twice as fast as tax rates
should make it evident to even the
most skeptical advocates of higher
tax rates that continued expansion
of the Texas oil industry assures
an automatic increase in tax reve-
nues, he added. Furthermore, as
oil development spreads to new
sections, it provides local tax reve-
nues for many years to come
through the establishment of prov-
en underground reserves with tax-
able values.
Next year, when nearly every-
one will be paying federal taxes,
every American will come to realize
what taxes mean. I believe there
will be a more sympathetic under-
standing of our State and local tax
problems. Many citizens who have
voted for various bond issues to
provide new roads, courthouses,
schools and other civic improve-
ments will begin to realize that
somebody has to pay the bill in
higher taxes. Many who have not
been tax conscious in the past will
begin to take a more active part
in preventing unnecessary local ex-
penditures and demanding more
economical administration of local
government.
