PIPE LINE CASE UP
Mid-Continent OIL Association is
Directing Move to Clarity
Question of Taxation.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Harry
H. Smith, secretary of the Mid
Continent Oil and Gas association,
arrived today to appear before the
internal revenue bureau tomorrow
in the hearing 10 determine whether
oil carried from the fields to re-
finery owned by the well owner Is
subject TO transportation tax.
The Mid-Continent long has con-
tended that as such pipelines are not
common carriers, oil thus carried Is
not subjected to a transportation
tax. The treasury department has
never taken the Mid-Continent's
view on the matter. However, de-
cisions have recently been obtained
in the western United States district
court OF Oklahoma upholding the
Mld-Continent contention. In view
of these decisions the treasury de-
partment agreed to reopen the case.
The American Petroleum company
has Joined with the Mid-Continent
in the case. Smith said tonight that
unless the decision of the treasury
department upholds the Mid-Conti-
nent contention, the matter will be
taken through the courts as far as
the supreme court.
A favorable decision would mean
the refund of hundreds OF thousands
of dollars to the Independents.
Smith will remain here until he
learns what turn the investigation
ordered by the senate in the oil busi-
ness will take.
