Oil Taxes In Texas

good idea of the manner in which oil COM
panies are called on to contribute to the govern
ment is afforded by report recently issued by
the state Of Texas, showing that the last fiscal
year a total OF $2215,l10.OO was realized from the
gross production tax alone. Beside that taxes were
paid by oil companies. st
The entire collections from all oil taxes in Mix
leo in 1913 $5,56O,0OO while in 1919 the sum
collected was about $10O0O,OoO. And Mexico s
production exceeds that Of Texas than tenfold
Yet there those who desire the United States
to wage war with Mexico because of the Alleged
''injustice'' done American oil companies in the
way of taxation.
