BLUE DESIRES
MOREREVENUE
IN REPORT TO GOVERNOR, THE
TAX COMMISSION ASKS IN.
CREASED lEVlES.
WANTS TAX ON. oil, GAS AND
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
SALARY LAW.

Tax Commissioner Fred Blue in a
report to Governor Hatfield desires
many changes which will necessitate
new tax leyies being imposed, Just as
did Superintendent Shawkey in ihs
report published yesterday:
Some of the principal changes ad-
vocated and recommended by the tax
commissioner are license tax on tho
production of crude Oil, natural gas
and coal; a regulation requiring an
annual conference of county asses.
sors, a law requiring assessors and
their assistants 10 give over their
entire time to the assessment work;
repeal Of the tax on merchandise
brokers'; amendment 70 the statute SO
that drafts can be payable only out
OF the resources of the year in which
they are drawn; amendment of tho
statute TO limit levies; enactment Of
a county tax Law fixing county sal.
aries; enactment of a county deposit
tory law. and the creation Of the of.
flee of the counts treasurer. At pres.
ent the sheriff acts in the capacity OF
county treasurer, handling all Of tho
funds Of the County.
In the fixing OF tax on the pro:
duction of gas, coal and oil, Mr.. Blue
does not believe, however that a fiat
tax should be imposed on all OF these
three products, "a he believes that the
price received by the seller of the gas,
together with the amount which he
sells, should be taken into consldera.
ton.
He dwells on the fact that these
three great resources of the state arc
rapidly being exhausted, never to be
restored again and that a small tax,
NIT enough to seriously iniure The
business Of the producers, will t,e a
source Of excellent revenue to the
state.
The law relative to the laying Of
school taxes should be amended so
that 1t fixes clearly the Limitation Of
school levies for all purposes, recon-
mends Commissioner Blue.
He also recommends that penalty
of ten per cent lie added to all taxes
not paid by January 1, such penalty
to be a fixed penalty and not an in.
terest one, and such penalty to he a
part OF the public taxes and to be paid
into the public treasury.

In 1910 tile HodcnviIle Grain Produce

$4,000. That was five years ago and at that
time people laughed at the idea of anybody ever
making any omoncy out OF grain elevator in
Hughes county which is Of the old rock
ribbed cotton producing counties Of the state.
Bat events have proved that once more the wise
acres did not know 1t all Last year the Holden
Vile Grain Il Produce Co, shipped 80 ears and
this year 1t has already shipped 30 cars and
the crop is not all i'm yet This year most Of
the shipments going to Galveston. II. Nj.
McFarln is president OF the company but
the active management is in the hands of w.
NJ Taylor secretary treasurer, who has been a
resident of the city for sixteen years and until
the organization OF the company engaged
in the mercantile ana abstracting business. 1t
is largely through the efforts of Mr. Taylor, Mr.
MCFarlin Mr. Suider, secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce, and other progressive citizens
that Hughes county s rapidly coming TO the
front as one Of tho largo wheat producing
counties Of the mddlc-sOuthcast portion Of the
state The total production of the county this
year is estimated at more than $50 cars and
farmers say that next year It will be double
this amount and that they will have to erect
a flour mill TO take care of 1t and keep the
profit at home. And the people who are at the
head of the Iloldcuyile Grain q Produce Co.
are just about the people who will do that very
thing.
