TO TEST THE OIL LAW
AGREEMENT HETwEEM STATE
 AND gTAM1JAHD COMPANY.
Representative of Big Corporation
 Declares There is No Purpose to Violate the New

A representative of the Standard oil CoknraHx sEzged YeAterd4y that the ar- ticle published in The Advertiser Sufi- day, stating that she Governor had sif- rected all yioiators of the law to be pros ecnted. might create the impression on small dealers in 0ll that they would all be arrested for failure to comply with tlie provisions of that law. And it might fur kher create the impression that 1t was the purpose of the oil companies to ignore the law.
 The Standard oil man said such was not Ehe case. Prior to the time when this law went mo effect said the represent ative of the oil company, "a representa- tive of the Standard Oil Company, with their counsel, went to see the State Aud,- tor and informed him that the Standard oil Company had been advised that the law was unconstitutfonal and that they wished to make some arrangement with him to test this question. 50 as to avoid numerous prosecutions under the criEnl- nal phase of the law or a multiplicity of suits for the amount of the tags. which might be instituted, especially against the small dealers in oil. e ''fhe following suggestion was made to the Auditor: That a criminal prosecution should be commenced against one of it's agents. who should be arrested and that
 no tags be purchased while this case was pending. but that the Standard oil Com pany would give bond, if he desired 1t, to make return of the number of gal- Ions of illuminating oil sold by it during the pendercy of this ease and that ie the law was held constitutional, they would buy a sufficient number of tags to cover the oil sold.
 After this the Auditor had a confer ence with the Attorney-Genera and the Attorney General likewise with the couu- sei of the Standard Oil Company, and 1t was agreed that. in order to bring up all the questions fairly and squarely. a civil suit should be brought against the com. pany to recover the amount due for fees. counsel for the Standard oil Company agreeing to accept service of such stalt. and waive notice and to set the case down for trial in such court as should best suit the convenience of the State author ities. A representative of the Standard OH Company likewise called on the Pres- ident of the Alabama Polytechnic Tnsti- tllte which institution receives one-fourth of the amount realized from the sale of tags, and made a similar suggestion to him. and President Thach then stated that he would confer with the Governor about the matter.

sei for the Standard oil Company that the reason the proceedings above mention ed had not been instituted was because of his absence from the State and the agreement on the part of the Standard on Company to accept the service Of the civil suit.
 Montgomery was selected as the place to try this case because of the speedy way in which 1t could be brought to the attention of the Supreme Court on the call of the Third Division, which convenes Deceinber A4. There was no Ignorance of this fact on the part of any State offlcial nor desire on the part of the dealers in oil to Ignore the law. and the agreement was made to test its constitutionaIity by one suit rather than have 6 lot of vexa- tious arrests"
 It is understood that the criminal fea- ture of the law will be tested before Judge J.. B. Gaston next Monday, and the civil suit will be tried before Judge A. D. Sayre at an early day.
