RObertsOn's
Oil Platform

IGTHE only question about
l. which there is controversy
is the rate of tax fixed under the
law of 1916. The question of
whether or not this arbitrary
rate of 80 is unjust and inequit-
able, too high or too low, is a
question of fact that can be ad-
justed by a comparison with the
valuation and rate of the tax
levied on other classes of prop
erty. When this comparison is
exhaustively made, and the rate
is shown to be inequitable and
higher than the tax on other
species of property in Oklaho-
ma, | have faith in the fairness
of the legislature to readjust the
rate"

Takes Position On Oil Question Assaling Aexanders Platform

TNHE 80 gross production tax oil was an act of the
1916 legislature. During the year 1917 it brought to
this state and counties where the oil produced the
Of $3O7OOOO and the estimated revenue for the cur
rent calendar is 0O0 the increase due to the
higher prevailing price of OIL
Onethird of this money is returned to the counties
where oil is produced onehaf of that for the use of
the highway and the other half for the use of the school
fund.- the remaining twohirds being applied to the state
general revenue fund 1t is plainly apparent that if this
vast of tax money from the oil production is not paid
in our revenue system will be demorazed, otherwise
this amount of money must be raised by taxation of other
commodities.

What Group of Men
Wants the Oil Tax
Reduced?

Partisan newspapers and friends Of an oppos-
ing candidate have attempted to convey the idea
that opposition to his policy relative to the go
gross production tax is an attack upon him. The
platform statement is of his own choosing, and he
had more than three years time in which to pre
pare it. In substantiating the statement that it is
evidently intended to mean that the 80 gross pro-
duction tax should be reduced we herewith pre-
sent paragraph from copy of display adver-
ucement which appeared in the last three columns
on page g. section B, of The Daily Oklahoman of
Sunday, June 8, 1918. This advertisement was
signed by the Mid Continent Oil & Gas Association
and the paragraph reads as follows:
The oil industry in Oklahoma is now sub.
Ject to an excessive state tax. The details of
this will be pointed out in . ,ub.eouent 49,.

tion were put before the last legislature with

The Mid-Contnent Oil & Gas Association was

in the reorganization announcement that the
purpose for which it was to be organized included
effort to WELD political influence in this state
The advertisement further states that It is the
duty of this association and It's friends to see that
members of the legislature are selected who will
look after the oil interests Of the association.
We submit that the oil platform of the candi-
date who opposes Alexander's platform and the
advertisement of the id-Continent Oil & Gas

Reduction of the Oil
Tax Will Throw the
Burden on You

Our efforts to call the publc's attention tc
this grave peril are made without regard to men
the issue involved is so tranScendent In import
ance that it should receive the careful considera
tion of all far-minded democrats who believe that
every should pay his Just proportion of taxes.
The farmer the business man, in fact every
man who owns property in this state, must pay
his assessed taxes without regard to whether ne
is enjoying remunerative returns upon that prop
erty. The oil producer pays only when the oil is
coming from the ground therefor only when ne
is making money.

with the avowed purpose of controlling the
