Oil mems associations in Oklahoma
Kansas. Texas and Louisiana joined in
n tclcgraphic protest today 10 Secrc
tnry of State Hughes against the

and Texas. the North Texas Oil and Gas
Producers Association. the OIL Men 3
Protective Association OF Oklahoma
and the Kansas OIL and Gas Associa- =
tion. said:
we wish to call your attention to
the fnCt that 30 prr cent of this McXi-
ran oil is coming into the United States
duty free. and that these same interests
which are lodging the protest against
MeXicos system of taxation are
vigorously opposing the tnx on this oil
by the Congress Of the United States.
The oil industry in the United States is
90 per cent shut down and hundreds
of thousands of men are out of en-
ploymcnt.
These selfish interests absorb tho
markets of our country with Cheaply
produced and chcaply transported prod
ucts from Mexico, upon which they pay
no taxes to this country. and ask the
Government of the United States to aid
them in avoiding taxation in Mexico.
We most vigorously protest against the
Government of the United States in
terfcring with the system of taxation on
oil promulgated by the republic OF
Mexico or any other country so long rs
that system of taxation is levied equally
against all foreigners.
