STANDARD OIL

SEES BILL JOKER Works Hard for Inspection Measure to Avoid Paying Tax Law Held Invalid. Na -Tim' Sj-I il S ; vi ': INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. -j:. Why i the Standard il s-ndii; its lobl jls.t.s to Cnv. Coo-lri'-h to publicly approve the ('.oodri- h oil inspection till? Thi i the story of win the (loodrhh oil inspection Mil has become known as the Standard 11 Co. relief meii-wre. It is the htory of why an insurant mo err.nt has arisen ;wnon f.om' protri csi ve repuldlcan senators and hy th-y are carefully inspecting oth-r floodrlh measures. The Goodrich Mil proides that a st;iTii tax of one-fiarter cent shall he f'ed on each gallon of oil sold 111 Indian. 1. Th state inpf ted S.ÖO gallons of oil and gasoline !at year. I'nder the t;w Goodrich hill the sam' number of gallons w ould have ' ot the oll ornpanies $24,2t"2.2ö. The oil companies paid for inspection under the present law $211,7.: 1.7) last year. Want to Tay More Money. The Goodrich law would compel the companies to pay $:;4. j"0.r.j more than is paid at present. The oil companies are lobbying with the. Goodrich administration to place this additional burden upon t hemselves. Why? Th" reason is under the Goodrich bill, there is every possibility the oil companies will evade any payment to the .state. The best attorneys h. have been studying the bill for uteks say they an certain it will be declared unconstitutional. l'-it it will hae repealed the present oil inspection law and it is the k-Ual opinion Imlian.t will not he able to compel the jayiiicnt of one cent of oil tax if the Goodrich measure is nacted. To digest the law and reveal the joker, the lirst section provides for reNtr:iti(i!i of panics of agents. Tli second section provides for the fixing of a label on the container. The label guarantees the oil i.- eiua; to or better than the standard stated on the la bei. I'or each gallon sold or offered for salc the agent must attix a stamp in an amount equal to one-quarter cent ;i gallon. The third section prmidos the hemist of the state ho.rd of health shall be tate inspector of oils. He is authorized to establish standards of purity. lie is authorized to appoint "not to exceed three deputies, who. together with the deputies of the pure food and drug department, are anthoritd to take samples of oils sob! or offered for sale." The fourth sec tion fixes a penalty for failing to aflW the stamp tax and for selling oils inferior in grade to the standard s-tated on the label. The law makes inspection of. oil ptional with the state chemist. He an inspect if h r desires. Hut there is no connection between payment of the tax and the inspection. There is th joker which has tickled the oil companies ery pleasantly. The or.tif.it ion pnnides that one iinnilit or- class of ptoperty .nullt he single! out for taxation, j 'I he atto! ii s -ay there is no doubt i 'Section '." of the Goodrich meas- J ire will be con-idered as a "revenue j measure" and therefore invalid be- j aiie it places a tax on one commod- j .ty and not on others. ! l-iver i:p- Joker. The , 1 companies therefore would 1 " t heed of p,. ing an thing to the '-fate and the "joker " would tin.-.e to tickle tnern. They would be saved $211.7-1.70 .it least ea h ear and the state would g t nothing. Last year the state got J 1 0 .. . S C, .". s.7 and the inspeitois a like amount and the state paid out nothing.

Va. to Pay $12.::'J:s.oim). WASHINGTON. Jan. J. Vir-j gir.ia has decided to take further i steps to hasten payment by West Virginia of the hitter's share of the dd Dominion debt when the state divided in 1 s 0 1 . The supreme court, which gave a decree against West Virginia in will be asked Monday on behalf of Virginia to issue process requiring West Virginia to pay the orikiMitl Judgment of $12,333,000. with interest at five percent since July 1, IDl.". This action was decided upon at conferences here Sunday between the Virginia commissioners appointed to consider the debt case and Atty. C.en. Holkrd of West Virginia. Sanford Robinson, a New York attorney, representing the individual bondholders, also will appear in the proceedings. As the West Virginia legislature is now in session, it is understood that the Virginia officials will urge that the time is opportune for action toward payment of the debt. Another legislative session will not be held for two years. West Virginia officials have been considering measures, including a bond issue, to comply with the supreme court's decree. Virginia's new steps may result in reopening the case, for extended supplementary proceedings, as it is understood that West Virgini a will oifer some new set-offs to offset the judgment.

There isn't an act on the pro-'ram that is exceptionally out of the ordinary, but most of them ate capable of furnishing an entertainment.
