lMdn0 Ou IndeD, casper
Governor W. B. Ross is quoted by the Cheyenne Tribune
as advocating a severance tax on Wyoming products from
Democratic state convention Which met recently y in Casper go
On record in favor of such a tax but did not get very far after
the delegates heard the fallacy OF his position exposed by Sen
ator Pat O'Connor of Casper.
If a severance tax should be enacted by the legislature,
to be fair it should be made general. 1t should not only be i'm
posed upon crude petroleum but also upon coal, iron, platinum,
gold, silver, copper, timber and other natural products. If
ment in her mines and oil, there is no better and quicker way
to do it than by imposing a severance tax.
More than onehalf Of the ordinary taxes OF Wyoming are
now paid by the so-called predatory interests including coal,
iron, railroads and petroleum, according to figures on file with
the State Board of Equalization at Cheyenne. Out OF a total
property taxable valuation of Approximately $435 100000, the
interests named pay taxes on an assessed property valuation
of approximately $22oyooo,Ooo or more than one-half of the
total in the state.
1t is reported that Governor Ross in one of his speeches
made the statement that the Standard of Indiana did not pay
taxes on property amount to only 100000. This is probably
an error in quoting the Governor as the Standard, Midwest and
of approximately $%4O,ooo,6o0 or vastly more than any other
single industry in the state. This does not include the special
taxes in the form of royalties on government and state lands
which will average close to 100000 a month or $l2,ooOyOoO
annually.
taxable in 1924, was $43,277, 760.29 out of which government
royalties were deducted totaling Sc, 7005S2.13 on an assessed
valuation of $l15 per bbl, average price for crude turnout
the year. Production from state school sections for assess
ment purposes in 1923, taxable in 1924, was 9l5,6o96 bbls.
per Dbl.
Different oil companies operating in Wyoming for taxa.
ton purposes in 1923 were assessed with a total production of
fixed a SAL GS 5,4oS. SzA'' III i'-F' '' "''' u SAINT '''NS
Natural gas production on government owned lanuS IN
1923 for taxation purposes was estimated at 2S,27O,245"3O2 en-.
1T on which the government royalties were 2,sl5,653,105 GU it.
State production on state owned lands was calculated at 10S,
$50, 1877 Gu. #. Net production for taxable purposes was de
termined on 25, 346, o29,4 AGO Gu. #. Total natural gas production
valuation for taxable purposes was fixed at 81, 129,2S0!72.
With the rate of &c per 1900 Gu. IT., the natural gas taxes or
gas produced from government owned lands totaled $ll2,
625.1 - while on state-owned lands it was $43,425.09.
Oil and gas industries in Wyoming pay practically as
much taxes into the state treasury as any two other interests
combined. What Governor Ross should do is not to try to
saddle more taxes on the industries of Wyoming but make an
honest attempt at economy and try to find some way to carry
on the business of the state by spending less money.
