regardless of fields, shat down
or Saturdays and Sunday En-
gineering reasons were given
which no one task very seri-
ously. The result obtained was
a' redaction in production with-
out violating the marginal well
law. i
SChe effect is readily seen. A
•" well that cannot be limited be-
’ low 20 barrels a day can pro-
duce 140 barrels a week if it is
operated seven days. If it is
operated but five days, it pro-
duces only 100 barrels for the
week.
East Texans complained,
but "played along” for many
months. ’ ,
Finally the protests became
so strong that the railroad
commission, with changed
membership, lifted Saturday
stutdowns for April.

That, of course, shot up the
total production. To , offset
the increased production, com-
missioners hunted for other re-
ductions. The order was is-
sued and things began to pop.
Ail injunction was obtained
in federal court to prevent the
reductions from taking effect

in five fields. Operators ap-
plied to the commissioners to
rescind the orders. Members
of the legislature from oil dis-
tricts visited the commission-
ers in a body to demand restor-
ations.
Additional injunction appli-
cations were staved off by re-
storing the old production fig-
ures. A truce was patched up,
but it is a truce that lasts only
until Monday’s hearing.

Texas chemists are alarmed
about a new tax on "mineral
crystals” proposed in the Tex-
as legislature. The suggested
levy was three cents a pound,
and authors of the plan said it
was aimed at Crystals formed
by distillation of medicinal
mineral water.
The definition first offered,
however, would have included
a much broader field. Sulphur,
for instance, is a mineral crys-
tal and a tax of three cents a
pound would total $60 a ton
or $65 a long ton of 2,200
pounds. Sulphur sells at $15
to $20 a ton.
Another mineral crystal pro-
duced in commercial quanti-
ties in Texas is table salt, and
a three-cents-a-pound tax
would amount to as much, as
the value of salt at the mine.
On a great many "mineral
crystals,” the chemists said, a
tax of three cents a pound
would be confiscatory.
—Ur—
The only specific way to tax
a single mineral crystal would
be to give its chemical for-
mula.
The same proposal included
a tax of two per cent on min-
eral water.

Rep. Pat Dwyer of San An-
tonio, always a nifty dresser,
startled fellow legislators thi=
week by appearing Easter
Monday in a 1959 model split
sennet straw hat.
Panamas in a fedora shape
have appeared earlier about
the legislative halls, but Pana-
mas are worn the year ’round
in some of the more tropical
parts of the state.
Representative Dwyer’s hat
was no hang-over of a past
season. It was a white shiny
harbinger of summer.

Texas senators may disclaim
any pride of authorship in the
measures they offer to the leg-
islature, but they got peeved
quickly when the measures are
set aside.
This is particularly true of
the efforts to solve the pension-
tax problems. Recognizing it
as a real problem, most of the
senators set about finding a
statesmanlike solution.
Sen. Doss Hardin of Waco
evolved the two-class plan of
payment, and got it through
the senate. The harder prob-
lem of working out a tax plan
was tackled by several sena-
tors.
The first bill that came out
of the state affairs committee
was drafted by Sen. Rudolph
Weinert of Seguin from a
number of plans suggested to
the committee.
Sen. Olaa Van Zandt of
Tioga promptly substituted
one which he Considered bet-
ter. When Van Zandt’s substi-
tute was defeated, he went
home for the week-end. Next
up was Senator Weinerfs
plan. When it was knocked
down, Weinert announced he
was through trying to solve
the problem and intended to
sit in his chair for the re-
mainder of the session.
Sen. John Redditt of Lufkin
next “took the ball” and his
plan, combining features of
Weinerfs and Van Zandfs,
was adopted by the senate.
Their periods of silence
over, Weinert and Van Zandt
then both joined heartily m a
new effort to solve the prob-
lem.
