Oil producers oppose 5 percent gross oil tax in Texas
A. W. Roark president of the Independent Oil Producers of Texas writes to the Thirty-Eighth Legislature opposing Governor Neff's proposal for a 5 per cent gross production tax on oil. He argues current taxes already burden producers through gross production tax, ad valorem taxes, and a state supervision tax, warning higher rates would force many small producers out of business and curb production, urging a program of rigid economy instead.
