ber of the minority on the committee
Of five which was announced late last
night for the task of smelling out
enemies Of the league in North Dako-
ta. The members are Senators o. H.
Olson of Eddy and j. !. Cahill of Leith

This comittee began its work this
morning, when it attempted to "inves
tigate" the action Of State Auditor
Carl r. Kositzky, in refusing to draw
warrants to the amount of $4,000 OF
a legislative expense fund of $1,000
The state auditor called the commit
tees attention to the fact that even
under the house bill setting aside tht
constitution and giving measures
enacted at the special session effec
within ten days, when the constitution
decrees that they cannot become opel
ative until next July. the committee i!
not yet empowered to function.
In reply to charge from Senator
Olson, KositZky declared that tn.
members of the assembly in this spe
cial session had disgraced the state
and he branded the house action il
refusing to pass bill banning the red
flag particularly reprehensible.
"I have no doubt that you have q
red flag in your pocket this minute
said Kositzky to. Olson who made nc
reply. ~
The chairman of this committee is
handed $4,000 to spend as he pleases
without check or accounting of any
kind. The bill provides that he shall
deposit this money in the Bank Of
North Dakota and that he may check
it out as he sees fit. The committee
is given judicial, legislative and execu
tive powers: it may demand access t(
the books of any individual or corpor.
alton in North Dakota, and may sum

on any subject in which the commit

completed it's smelling out process
the committee is to recommend to thc

STANDARD OIL IN.
ROLE OF SAVIOUR
DIGS UP 100000
Trust Voluntarily Makes Initial
Payment on $26O,OOO Taxes
Due the State

Having twice, been defeated by At
torney General LANCER III its efforts
i'll federal court to evade payment of
its 1910 oil tax, which now aggregates
about $25O,OOO, the Standard Oil Co.
this morning came to the relief Of the
stranded legislators whose warrants
have been held up by State Auditor
kositzky for lack of funds by volur-
tarily paying $4,000 on account into
the state treasury. The payment was
made by Andrew Miller, local attOr-
ney for the Standard Oil Co., who made
the tender this morning and it was
accepted, and Mr.. Miller stated that as
soon as the whole amount Of taxes is
computed by Tax Commissioner Wal
lace, who is now engaged in this task
the remainder will be paid. T..
The Standard Oil Co.'S principal OBJ
lection to the 1919 tax levy was an al,
legged discrimination which it suffered
upon its gasoline in comparison wi,i
independent oil companies. A dis
tinction was made in the original bill
against fuel oils containing ,nsatur.
ated hydrocarbons. which resulted il,
the Standard 'Oil Co.'S being assessed
one cent per gallon, while independ
ent companies paid only one-fourth Of
a cent.
This same clause contained in th,
amended bill as originally introdncc,i
at this session, but following series
of hearings, attended by representa-
tives Of all the large independent Oi
assoeia tons MS well as of the Sttln1
ard, the specifications were 50 changed
as to let the Standard in on the sans
basis as other companies. This change
was fought for and approved by tht
independents.
This series of hearings also rcsulic
in indefinite postponclpent Of senate
bill which would have declared OF
companies public utilities and p:acct
them under the control Of the stare
railway commission. which woul
have had power, to fix thcprices of oi
products. In place of this bill theEi
was introduced a concurrent rcsOlI
ton asking the railway commission t.
investigate charges that the STANDARD
Oil Co. is discriminating agains
North Daokta consumers. both in tn
quality and the price Of its produc+S $
and to report its findings at the mex
regular session Of the legislature.
