Office of Mid-Contincnt on Gas
Association, January -, 1920.
To Members.
Dear sir: Saturday morning. jan
unr,, - the committee on federal tax
Legislation held n meeting at Whlch
a policy was outlined WITH reference
to federal taxation. 1t was the con
sensus OF opinion that the time mas
now arrived when not only the OIL
business and all It's branches but al
business of every Kind in the United
states should take up the federal tax
question along broad lines and en-
dcavor to improve the system OF
raising revenue so that all industry
may prosper in the future lpsteld OF
being hampcred or throtlcd by sys-
tenn OF taxation which destroys tree
capital and threatens serious emDar-
rassmcnt OF business generally.
It\was pointed out that approx
mately 90 per cent of the revenue re-
uuired by the federal government Is
now being paid in by approximately
10 per cent of the taxpayers OF the
United states. That this condition Is
not only antagonistic TO legitimate
business but prevents progress, rem
ders our industries unable TO cope
with foreign competition and destroys
that free capital which is necessary
TO finance new projects and now
methods OF production. Furthermore,
that when 80 per cent of the people
do not contribute materially to the
expenses Of government, they do not
take an interest in the matter OF
keeping down government eNpendi-
lures. That that system of taxation
is wisest and best which affects all
or the people and. therefore, causes
the entire citizenship to insist upon
congress adopting an adequate bud
get system and other means of check
ing governmental disbursements.
To this end II was resolved that
We communicate with the American
Petroleum institute and suggest call
ing n national conference of the oil
industry which national conference
would have before it two specific
propositions, as follows:
I. THAT the oil industry take the
initiative and go on record in favor

business to be brought about through
