- CRUDE OIL PRODUCTION was a relatively
new effort for Sohio in l943. Expanding our
activities, we discovered number of new
fields and brought them into production. thus
multiplying our crude oil output at time
when finding new sources of crude is incfeas-
ingly important to war needs. Much oil
remains to be found In the United States,
and Sohio plans 90 to 100 wildcat wells in
1914 for discovery of new fields.

4 GOOD eMPloyEe RELATIONS is one Of the
most important continuing responsibilities
of any company. Soho provides security and
pleasant working relations by offering its
employees sick benefits, regular vacation
with pay, low-oost group insurance and Q
liberal retirement plan. For example,
man who started with Sohio at age IS
and averaged 5000 a month income over
the length Of his service, has been retired
1t IS with an income of approximately
$50 month for life. Almost 400 Sohioans
are now enjoying a comfortable, carefree
life on this retirement income.

, OIL IS KEPT MOVING by Sohio's extensive
use of pipe lines and barges, thus saving

Sohio owns and operates almost 5000 miles
of pipe lines.

critical need. Sohios production of aviation
gasoline increased almost 5000 in 1912
over the year before and was tripled again
in 1o43. To accomplish this, Sohio has con-
verted existing equipment and has built new
refinery units = all without calling on the
government for financial aid.

D KEEPING CARS RUNNING At HOME has been
part of Sohio's wartime responsibility. This
job has been done in spite of an acute short
age of manpower. We have trained new
service station personnel, including many
women, and have developed special car-
saving services to provide the extra care your
car needs to outlast the war.

braska liquor revenues for the year
ending December 1, 1e43, totaled 3d.
520,070. Of that amount, 81, 919,112
uas ellocated to the state assistance
fund, with the remainder distributed
equitably among the counties, cities
and schools.
If the state returns to prohibition
that loss of revenue must be made up
through some other system of taxa
ton. In addition, hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars would have to be
provided in the foredoomed effort to
enforce the ban on beer and liquors.
The Chamber committee discovered
a larger potential loss with regard to
the proposed gas tax restrictive mea-
sure. Under the present arrangement
which would be discontinued if the
proposed amendment were approved,
the state assistance fund received ST.
O81,415 for the year ending July 1.
This amount also would need to be
made I'D through Some other form of
taxation. Thep roposed amendment
does not prohibit collection of the
present full tax, but would divert it
exclusively to highway use. Attor-
neys have questioned whether, under
the amendment, cities, towns and
villages might not lose large sums
for paving and maintenance because
of the ambiguity of the proposal.
Actually, approximately eight mil
lion dollars per year is at stake in
thetwopro posalss Douglas County
Assessor Joseph Stolinski pointed out
before the Polish-American Civic
Club that the four million dollars
that would be lost to the aged and
to dependent children is matched dol
lar for dollar by the Federal Govern
ment.
This money from federal sources
woul1 be lost until such time as the
Legislature got around to providing
new types Of revenue for state assist
ance.
What prospect does the Legislator
face if the prohibition and the gas
tax restrictive measure are APPROX
ed?
The state, obviously, will want to
continue its assistance program to the
aged, the blind and the dependent on
its present Scale at least. 1t will not
wish to see the schools hampered or
the political subdivisions of the state
faced with new revenue problems.
The answer, as the Chamber group
report points out, lies in replacement
of the lost revenue through Some 9TH
er form of taxation-an 80 percent
increase in the state property tax levy
a state income tax, a general retail
sales tax, a cigaret tai, a use tax or
a tonnage tax. Or a combination of
those lakes Sufficient to meet the
potential less.
