I Some employe in the offices of the Standard Oil company will no doubt lose a good positln In return fcr his . negligence or oversight in failing to pay the company’s taxes In every ' county in Indiana where the company owns property. The neglect means that the company will be out of pocket several thousands of dollars for the penalty of ten per cent will have to be paid on all of the delinquent taxes. Some idea of what this will amount to may be gained when it Is stated that in Wells county the company’s taxes amount to about $7,600, and the penalty add“d means that there will be an additional S7OO to pay. Tn some counties the taxes are even larger, while in some the company owns no property at all.
