Dynamite on Rails Delay Oil Bill Consideration
In Austin on November 8, a point of order halted action on a Texas bill to limit oil production to market demand. The House committee had reported it favorably. Rep. C. E. Farmer of Fort Worth sustained the order, delaying 24 hour desk readiness before action. A separate adjournment bid was blocked, while Rep. Milton West warned Friday adjournment could kill the graduated production tax. A new demand bill by Rep. D. D. Richardson proposes criminalizing oil production when no market demand exists.
