Cavness Plan Would Tap Oil Lands For State Expenses
State Auditor C H Cavness proposes changing the constitution to allow schools and universities to use a large part of oil and gas income from state lands for operating expenses. The plan would divert 27.42 percent of royalties to permanent funds to offset resource depletion, reducing General Fund taxes later. If adopted, FY1954 would have seen schools and UT share 49.3 million and 22.6 million respectively.
