Allred Behind Sulphur Bill of Spears
In the Texas house Rep. Franklin Spears of San Antonio champions a bill to raise the sulfur tax from 75 cents to $2 per long ton, backed by Gov. James Y. Allison.

Spears argues Texas resources are wasted and supports shifting revenue to education funds while criticizing the oil and sulfur industries for insufficient taxation.
