STANDARD OIL co.
RAISES NICE POINT
SAYS THE OIL LAW CANNOT GO
INTO EFFECT UNTIL 80 DAYS
AFTER FINAL ADJOURNMENT OF
LEGISLATURE.

Montgomery March 13-(Special 1.-The
Standard Oil company has raised a ques-
ton that is exceedingly interesting to the
revenue department Of the state govern
ment Can the section of the revenue law
taxing oil be put into effect until thirty
days after the final adjournment of the
legislature?
Section 900 of the criminal code reads
as follows: mo penal act shall take ef-
feet until thirty days after the adjourn
ment of the general assembly at which
such act may be passed, unless otherwise
specially provided in the act
The oil section of the law provides a
penalty In the shape of a fine for selling
oil not tagged or for oil below the test Of
13O The Standard Oil company claims
that this makes it a penal as well as a
revenue act, and the further claim is
made that the Legislature has not adj
journed but is simply in recess.
The auditor has referred the questions
to the attorney general, who is now pre-
pairing an official opinion. If the con-
tention of the Standard Oil company is
correct, then the tax connot be collected
until thirty days after the final adjourn
ment of the legislature next September.
This question being raised the liquor
men have sprung the same issue on the
Sunday liquor law, which provides a pen
atty for selling liquor on Sunday There
seems to be no question about the latter
being penal act, but it is contended it
cannot go into operation until thirty days
after final adjournment. the legislature
being now merely in recess.
The auditor was making preparations to
begin the collection of the oil tax at once,
and he and Mr.. Thach of the Auburn col
lege had agreed on the form of label to be
used.
