Oil counties have but half of their
lands on the tax rolls, they have many
more children to educate. At Heald-
ton now there are something like 500
children that must be given educa-
tional advantages. Oil counties must
spend much money upon their roads,
and oil counties have many criminal
prosecutions and they must spend
much more money than counties that
do not have oil fields If the state
legislature takes the oil tax money
from the county in which it originates
it does the unfair thing, and in all
probability nullifies its own act by

MANY FAIL TO FILE
INCOME TAX RETURNS

Hubert l.. Bolen, collector of intern
al revenue, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma,
today states that more than half the
time for filing the income tax return
for the calendar year ended December
81, 1915, as required by the act Of
October 3, 1913, has already elapsed.
Yet less than one fourth Of the cor
porations in the state have filed the
required report. The law makes it
compulsory that this report be filed
within 80 days after the close Of the
period covered By the report, and for
failure to do so, fixes a 80 per cent ad-
ditional tax and imposes a specific
penalty, not to exceed 10000
The collector further states that
there seems to be an erroneous i'm
preston prevalent; that because a
company had transacted no business,
it is not required to file a report. There

BY the above, YOU will note that
the city of Ardmore has paid to the
Ardmore Ice, Light & Power company
during the year 1915, $3,GO2.S1, which
amounts to S3OO.23 per month, rather
than Approximately $500
We make this statement only to put
the taxpayers, who pay for the pump
ing of this water, right.
We have no contract with the city
to pump water other than from day
to day, and the city already has two
steam pumping plants, one at Caddo
and one at the city lake, both Of
which were paid for by the bond issue
of the city of Ardmore and which
could readily be started in case the
city figured that they could pump
water with their own plants cheaper
than the water is being pumped by
the Ardmore Ice, Light e Power COM
pany.
In orr opinion, when expenditures
have been made to the extent in
which they have been made to install
steam pumping machinery at our city
lake and also at the Caddo pumping
station, such expensive machinery
should be utilized for the purpose
for which it was intended and if it
cannot be utilized for such purpose
for a less maintenance sum than the
water is now being pumped for by
the Ardmore Ice, Light e Power
company, someone has made a mis-
take.
Our prime object in the foregoing
statement is to call attention to the
fact that where in your paper of
yesterday the approximate cost to
the city was $500 per month, when
the real cost for the past twelve
months has been but s3O0.23.
The foregoing is respectfully sub
mitted 10 your readers, in order that
they may not be misled. because
there is a considerable difference be-
tween s3OO23 and $500.

ON DANGEROUS GROUND
Legislature May NuIIify Oil Tax BY
Manner of Its Distribution

The gross production tax on oil is
before the special session of the leg
islature, and it is rather big cues
ton. The supreme court has passed
upon the tax and the court has gone
far enough to call it an occupation
tax so the law would not conflict
with the constitution which limits
the amount of taxes that can be gath
cred. However, the distribution of the
tax has never been passed upon by
the courts, and in that lies the danger
according to an assertion made by
Dorset Carter, president of the Coline
Oil company, and the business wizard
of Oklahoma. Mr.. Carter did not say
positively that the distribution Of the
tax would nullify the law if the state
attempts to place the oil tax money
in the state treasury but he said there
was danger of it, The oil tax money
belongs to the counties that produce
the oil, said Mr. Carter, just as much
as elevator and grain taxes belong to
counties that produce wheat and
build mills and elevators. There is
no difference, and if the legislature
We're to attempt to distribute -four
mill money over the entire state it
would meet failure, and there is 4
reason to believe that the same thing
will be done if it attempts to do that
with the oil tax money,
A gross production tax is right be-
yond any question, and oil men are
willing to pay it. They object to
paying the tax on royalty oil and they
are justified in that objection. The
owner of the Oil, whether it be roy
atty owner or producer, should pay
his own part of the oil tax money.
The tax is right for this reason: The
oil that is on hand in storage on the
first day of January can be taxed as
other property is taxed but the
amount that is taken from the ground
and disposed of during the year es-
capes taxation in the absence of a
gross production tax.
An attempt has been maze to place
a gross production tax on coal and
to deny the coal tax money from the
counties in which coal is being pro-
duced, and the court has nullified
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1916-02-04

is no such exception in the law. Every
corporation must make a sworn re-
turn even though no business was
transacted. Corporations that have
been dissolved, abandoned, liquidated,
or for any other reason, ceased to eX-
list, are required to file a final return
showing the true condition of the
business up to the time of termination
together with the details of the final
disposition of the company.
Past experience in the collectors
office shows that many people overlook
the matter of filing reports or neg
lect to do SO till the last few days
of the period. In a great many in
stances these "late corners" for vari-
ous reasons, unntontionally become
delinquent and thereby impose addi-
tional tax and penalties upon them
selves. Their neglect to file the re
| port promptly also imposes a great
hardship on the collectors office force
as they are required to handle an ov-
erwheming amount OF work in few
days that should have been distrihut-
ed over a 6O-day period.
| The collector issues this warning
with the hope that those required to
file reports will give the matter i'm
mediate attention and thereby save
themselves and all parties concerned
any unnecessary trouble or expense

GETTING DOWN
To BUSINESS
HOUSE VOTES TO INSTALL TWlNE
FACTORY IN PEN-APPROPRlA-
TlON FOR VETERANS - ANTI
USURY MEASURE is UP.

Oklahoma City, February 3.-The
bill providing for the establishment of
twine factory in the penitentiary at
McAlester, to be operate by prison
labor, was passed finally by the house
of representatives Thursday afternoon.
1t carries an appropriation of $l25,OOO
of which $75, 600 is to be spent under
the direction of the state board of
public affairs in the construction and
equipment of a suitable factory for
manufacturing twine, and the remain
der of the money will go into the peni-
tentiary revolving fund to be used in
carrying on the work of the enter
prise.
The establishment of a twine factory
in the prison is one of governor VIII
liams plans for furnishing employment
to conyicts and a step toward placing
state institutions upon a sell-sustain-
ing basis. 1t also will result, it is said,
in binder twine being furnished to the
farmers of Oklahoma at price consid-
erably less than that which is now
paid

passed finally the bill making an ap-
