STANDARD OIL co.
PAYING TAKES INTO
STATE TREASURY

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 1.-THE
Standard Oil company, following a
nine months fight in federal courts.
where it was twice defeated, yester-
day Voluntarily paid into the state
treasury $4,000 as the initial INSTALL
ment of the 100000 in oil taxes now
due the state.
y The oil company opposed the 1919
oil tax because it was required to
pay one cent per gallon on it's par
ticularr brand of gasoline, while, it is
charged, Independents were assessed
but one-fourth cent per gallon.
This alleged discrimination was
eliminated from the act by the, re-
cent special session.
