One million Texans would have to find other means, of
livelihood if the Texas petroleum industry were to shut
down tomorrow.
Steady employment, good working conditions, reason-
able working hours a‘nd fair wages are the industry's
responsibilities to its workers and their families—a mil-
lion Texans in all.
It must maintain production, find and develop new
fields, meet competitive markets for its products and
pay its total expense bill of 750 million dollars a year,
which includes its payrolls.
The Texas petroleum industry now has to pay 97 mil-
lion dollars a year in taxes to Federal, State and local
governments before it can consider wages and employ-
ment.
When expenses must be cut to satisfy increasing
tax demands, employment suffers, and with it, the
buying power that employment creates in our State.
