HMALTi lOjyrltM. 1*3?. 1? Th? Forth Worth, Doe. 13?Am a re sult of the Informal conference* held hen* duiini; the me?-tlnic of the American Petroleum Institute the oil producers aud distributors of the country have decided to make an aggressive flght against a further Increase of state taxes on Kaeolln?*. Some state?* already are assess-, In? a tax of three cents a Ration 1 and a few of these ^re proposing to rain?1 It to four. The ia\ bur den la be I?ic borne without any great complaint at the preaent momi nt because ??f the low price of KUHollne, but th* moment the cost of motor fuel b-.-glBfl to nmunt. as the oil men ?ay it must within the next few years. then Is certain to be a great outcry and the oil companies feel they will br heavily ausaiied. Therefore, whil? they do not have to stand the tax which in always passed on to the consumer, they f?> 1 the Industry owen It to the motoring public to do all it can to ko< p the tax within reason. There is a tendency in virtually all the states to look to a gaso line levy as n mean of raiting ad ditional r< venue. Judge Amos L. 1 testy-, head of the Texas Com pany, frankly discussed the situa tion with his fellow oil executives. "Nearly all of the states now impose ? tax of some amount on I earh gallon of gasollni ioM," hej said. "The tendency Is pro nounced and continuous. The state* that are lower than Others are Inclined to incr? *?-?? thel**! rates. Each seems afraid that It may not obtain Its proportion of, revenue com oared with other states. What will be the situation when production dec!In? s and Is! les? than potential consumption?! Prices will advance. They will advance and these taxes will ap ply nevertheless and be oass> d on , to the eonHumtr*. They will be Just that much added to a price already considered high for a product that mast ?*?? had. The taxes are not ro objectionable wh?-n the price la low and in most states they serve an Important purpose. Hut when pricra go j high, without the taxen, it may; be found necessary to revlso the rates downward What the traf fic can stand now It may not stand th??n. It Is alwsys difficult to re duce tsxe?, and ws may see the time whm thsse tases will oppress consumers on the one band and cut Into our rnles on the other. That will bo bad for the Industry, bad for the public snd bad for the state.'t The oil sen of the country arc 1 r.oing to try to protect the puhlic In another reaped?that of rid ?lin? the Industry of the fake and flashy promoter?. Thia la one case In which the co-operation of the (Jovernment at Waahlngton la de sired. There are no actual statistics available, but the statement ha?? been made here that the chance of a "wild catter" drilling? In hit or m las fashion bringing In a pro ducing w?>|| Is Juat about one In several hundred. Kven where geologists have surveyed a Held end reported conditions favorable chances are enhanced to only about one In GO?certainly not more than one tn 20. The best advice given to a public that la lured bo often to Invest In oil ven tures which are little understood, is ti> buy stock only In a companv which Is tn a continuous bunlness and capable of drilling wells ove> n number of yeara. Such a com pany should get a definite return according to the law of averages but thoae who back a company or an Individual prepared to drill (inly one or two wells, are indulg ing In a hazardous speculation for high stakes, like betting on a horse in a race of a hundred en trlea. and have no Juat cause for complaint if they fall. Yet the romance of oil is far. from dead. Only this week In th'< new flold at Wortham, Texas, two gunners have been "shot" running thousand? of barrela a day an I worth millions of dollars. Here the field had been explored by tb geologists, the students of rocks and sands <>f land conformations and "domes" and success at cer tain points aeemed almost guar anteed. Yet hut a short distance away from the gushers another well had been drilled deeper and deeper with the prospect that at beat it may be nothing more than a "pumper" from which a f-w barrels a day may be reluctantly extracted at high cost. The geol ogist Is not Infallible; he cannot tap the rocka and produce oil at will. If hla task of "flndlnr oil was an exact aclence, oil would be less valuable than It Is today. Many dry hole tragedies have had as their requiem: "the geologists ?aid there waa oil." Rut speaking cf "domes" In connection with oil, the name of f. ctrt a in T? apot wca not imntloncl durlnr the entire aesslon <.f tb* oil men. That dome does not m*an as much In the liid<i?tr? as th? public haa imagined. The po sition of the Inetltute la that the Fall acandala did not touch the In dustry as g whole.
