Are Leaving the State.

Following is taken from the Tulsa
World:
Because of the unseeming activity
of certain kinds of politicians, anita
gonistic to the oil industry of this
state, Oklahoma is in grave danger,
if not already facing it, of losing mil.
lions of dollars worth of tax assets
which have in the past done much to
lessen the burden of taxation on the
ordinary property owner.
Due to high taxation, unreasonable
restrictions and other matters, the
Prairie Oil & Gas Co. is, it is common
ly reported, moving millions of bar
rels Of storage oil out of oklahoma
to neighboring states in order to es-
cape the oppression forced on the oil
business in this state.
other companies are seriously con-
sidering the same, but have deter
mined to await the action of the next
legislature hoping that something
will be done at that time to lessen
the burden of the oil man.
1t has been argued by those who are
fighting the oil interests that If these
companies leave Oklahoma that this
state will furnish the men and capital
to develop the natural resources. How
ever. they miss the point entirely, as
these companies with large interests
will not leave Oklahoma. They will
continue to do development work, but
assets, such as oil in storage,
will not be left in this state for the
tax ferret. and other parasites to
make a living from. They will build
pipe lines across the state line and
place their taxable assets in states
where they will be welcomed and not
This IS really a serious situation
and one to which every voter and
possible legislator should give some
serious thought between now and the
time OF the next election.
