wild ducks have migrated to Mexico
since the advent Of cold weather and

That Thompson was pleased with
the fact that Judge Anlidon had en-

evidenced when, Immediately after
the sentence had been pronounced. he
went forward and shock hands with
the jurist. thanking him for the le-

INSPECTION FEE
-6MuNjusT TAX
Contended That Oil INSPECTORS
Should Receive Only Enough
to Cover Cost.
WILL ASK N
OF THE LEGISLATURE
Charles Bartles, Explaining
Present: Measures, Says
They Work Detriment.

That the inspection fee Of a half
shipping into the state is a direct tax
upon the consumer. and that this in
spection fee should he materially re-
duced, Is the contention Of several oil
companies operating in the state. and
they WllI seek to secure an mend
ment to the present laws which will
exempt h consumers IRON the tax.
Charles Bartles of Grand Forks, in
explaining the question Of oil inspec-
ton fees. says that a total Of between
$4,000 and 100000 is turned over to
the state every two years. this amount
being over and above the running *
While the Oil companies pay this in
spection fee Of a half cent on each
gallon. yet the consumer is the man
who must foot the bill in the end. and
he believes the tax Is an unfair one.
A fee great enough to only the
cost Of maintaining the department is
urged by him, and be believes that a
fee Of s cents a barrel would be great
enough.
Raised the Fee.
Two years ago the legislature raised
the fee from 20 cents to 25 cents a
barrel. It takes an inspector from
two to five minutes to make the in
%::ppeeetion' and the state collects about
Another amendment to the present
law which will be- sought by several
oil handlers is a reduction Of the fire
test. The present law provides for a
Mr.. Bartles explains that such a test
several years ago when various in
gradients in the oil We're not removed
as they now are, was quite proper.
But with those ~by-products removed
and the oil thoroughly refined as it Is
today. the best burning oil secured Is
that which stands the $50 fire test.
Therefore Mr.. Bartles contends the
law actually defeats the purpose
giving the people of the state the best
grade Of burning oil possible.
Tho present gravity test on kero-
sene is 20, and with the fire test Of
$50. this wide spread causes trouble.
An Oil with a high gravity test loses
in the fire test, thus IL high gravity oil
cannot come in under the present re-
quirement of $50 degrees. .
Only Five in Same Class.
There are only five states In the
union that have as high a fire test as
is prescribed by the North Dakota
law. and all foreign countries have
tests lower than that Of this state.
On the gasoline test there also will
be q request for a change. Several
months ago the Standard Oil company
was successful in securing. through
injunctional proceedings. the relnoval
Of the gravity test.
The gravity test under the present
law is SO. and a, test of so will be
sought. It is pointed put that the
great increase in the value Of gaso-
line. and the larger demands, have
made it necessary for refiners to make
a straight run OF the oil at a 60
gravity test. This oil will do the
work in tractors. stationary engines,
ETC.. and. In automobiles during warm
weather. though an oil with a higher
grayitY. test is demanded during the
lcold weather period,
