Dollar Oil Tariff Urged by Major Operators in Senate Fight
The Senate Finance Committee opened renewed debate on an import duty for crude oil with divisions over rates. Harry H. Smith urged $1 a barrel on crude and 25 cents on fuel oil for Midcontinent and independent producers to protect domestic wells and curb dumping. Opponents warned of Mexican oil being shut out and warned higher costs for railroads and consumers. Governor Carey meanwhile refused to call an extraordinary Wyoming session, citing relief options and fiscal safeguards.
