- The document is a letter from the Secretary of the Oklahoma State Senate to George B. Schwabe, a member of the House of Representatives in Washington, D.C. The document forwards a copy of a resolution passed by the Senate and House of Representatives in Oklahoma, urging the Oklahoma delegation in Congress to revive and secure the adoption of the Disney Bill, which would increase the price of crude oil by thirty-five cents per barrel to generate additional revenue for the state. The resolution highlights the benefits of the price increase for the state's government, public school system, highway construction, and public health programs. It also emphasizes the importance of maintaining competition in the petroleum industry.
