Urges Lighter Tax
For Oil Industry
Henry L. Doherty Says Import
Should Be on Constructive
Capitalization

Henry L. Doherty, chairman Of the
taxation committee Of the National
Petroleum War Savings Committee,
which recently declared that the pro-
posed tax bill would cause a national
oil famine. yesterday said that excess
profits and excess losses are normal
features Of the petroleum industry and
that a taxation measure which fails to
allow for this popularity would destroy
the industry.

associates, "you either make. 100 per
cent profits or 100 per cent loss: There
fore, it cannot be taxed on the same
basis as other businesses in which the
risk is not so enormous.
"The producing end of the oil busI-
ness ought to bear taxes on conditions
produced by war conditions. But 1t
must be figured on special basis.
We propose tax based on the con-
structvc capital, which should repre-
sent value and not costs. And we think
that 20 per cent should be the maxi
mum tax on the constructive capiSaliza-
ton"
In celebrating Mr.. Doherty explained
that the incentive for wildcatting and
prospecting for oil, which the indus
try regards as indispensable, was the
chance of enormous profits. In 80 out
of 100 cases, Mr. Doherty added, the
prospector fails to strike oil, and the
government, CT course, does not share
his loss. But the one man out of 100
who succeeds gets returns out of all
proportion to his investment. II his
profits, he continued, were taxed on
the same basis as ordinary business,
prospecting would cease, as the induce
Existing producing wells would not
be so seriously affected by the new
tax, but wells run dry in few years"
Mr. Doherty explained, "and taxing
wildcatting would tend to stop the re-
production Of new wells, and without
continuous production an oil we'll fam
inc would be bound to result.'s

Mayor Against Tax
On Municipal Issues

An organized protest is being made
against those sections of the new Fed
eIal revenue bill now before Congress
which would take state and municipal
SECURITIES out of the tax exempt class
11a'1 a letter was sent out yesterday by the
the principal cities of the country ask
ing their cooperation in opposing the
new legislation.
The Mayors letter says that even if
the sections providing for the TAXATION
OF the income on state and municipal
securities are constitutional, which he
doubts, they will depreciate the value
of securities issued by municipalities
out of all proportion to the gain to
the national treasury and will raise
the tax rate in every city in the coun
try unreasonably.
The City Chamberlain in supple
m!en1ary letter declares that the adop-
ton of the Objectionable sections in
the law will operate unnecessarily to
,nJure the credit Of the city Of New
York as we'll as the other cities Of
New York State.
