Proposed Tax on Gasoline.

Oil and Gas Journal: Should the
proposed tax of 10 cents gallon
on gasoline be established by con-
eressional action, both manufacture
!rs and consumers will be affected
seriously. The consumer will great
~ reduce the quantities consumed.
This would react promptly against
the interests of those who produce
.he gasoline. The market would be
affected adversely; the demand
would be lessened. \ lessening OF
,he demand would mean that many
gasoline plants would probably
close down because Of the dcteriora-
zion OF their earning powers. Own
ers of oil wells and gas wells would.
in turn. feel the effect OF the tax.
Inducements to drill new wells
would become less alluring.
Whether congressman will take
the steps they are now asked to take
in the gasoline tax matter nobody
knows. They may be carried away
by the impulse TO increase revenues
without paying much attention TO
Grade consequences. Il they do this
much mischief will follow.
The campaign of education which
has been carried on for some time
30 enlighten Washington as to oil
problems will have to be continued
and now the chief matter under con-
sideration is this gasoline tax prop
osition. Lawmakers and law enforc
ers must be taught many things be-
fore they are fully informed as to oil
srade necessities.
