COURT UPHOLDS
STATE OIL LEVY

Members OF Cno SLaLo DOafQ o.
equalization, who are making al
official visit to Great Falls, Thurs
day were advised that the sup
RENE court Of the United States
has handed down a ruling empow-
ering the state to collect a pro-
duction tax from oil lands leased
by the federal government to op-
orators.
AS a result of the ruling the
state treasurer is authorized to
collect more than $4,000 from
operators Of federal oil leases in
Montana, 0. A. Bergeson, mem
Der of the commission, said today
in an interview here.
The supreme court decision,
according to information receiv-
ed by members Of the board, was
handed down from the bench in
the appeal of the Mid-Northern
Oil company from a ruling Of the
Montana State supreme court,
which held that the oil license
tax law, passed by the state leg
islature in 1921, was applicable
to government leased properties.
The amount due from the Mid
Northern was estimated hv air
Bergeson from $4,000 to $4,000
payment of which is secured by
bonds.
The controversy between the
oil company and the board of
has been in litigation
for two years, exemption having
been claimed by the company on
the ground that federal lands
within the state cannot be taxed
by the state.
The state has clung to the con-
tention that the tax was collect
ed as license, based on produc
ton, and not on the land itself.
The original law provided for
a l per cent tax. The levy was
increased to 2 per cent in 1923.
In addition to the money invol-
we'd in the Mid-Northern suit,
of the board estimated
that nearly $4,000 would be col
lected from other companies who
have withheld payment pending
settlement of the case.
Receipts from the tax are divi-
led equally between the general
fund and the school funds, 25 per
cent going for maintenance of
common schools and 25 per cent
for county and district high
schools. = Tribune.

Columbia Road Taken
over-Manager Stays
~ RICHARD HATTON

The Riggs National Bank and the
Northwest Savings Bank, located at
the corner of Columbia road and
Eighteenth street.. were consoE-
dated today in accordance with an
agreement entered into between
the directors of the two institutions
at the time of the purchase OF the
northwest institution by the older
bank some weeks ago, which be-
came effective today.
The Northwest Savings Bank
will hereafter be known as the
Northwest Office of the Riggs Ma
tfonal Bank. The business of the
Riggs National Bank, which is now
conducted at the Washington
Heights office, will be transferred
to the Northwest office.
Progressive Move.
The purchase Of the Northwest
Savings Bank by the Riggs Ma
tional Bank was a progressive
banking move by the older institu-
ton and in line with the modern
trend of bank expansion. and

toners OF the Northwest branch

veniences and stability which comes

officers of the Riggs National Bank
viii now be behind the branch
office.
The policy Of making the North
west office a community bank viii
be continued by the officers OF tie

ton viii be given the depositors in
the Northwest branch. The hand

Of the two main tAoroughfares in
the northwest will be somewhat re-
modelled to meet the expanding re-

popularity OF the community ins.i-
tuition and have won the especial
confidence and esteem OF its Gus
toners in the northwest section.
George II. Morris, formerly man
ager of the old Washington Heights
office OF the Riggs National Bank,

.DR. HUDSON FAV0RS
 WORLD COURT IDEA
Sixteen Opinions Handed Down
 by That Body

Columbus. O., June f. tAP)- Ayowing he could not "hnd the slightest justification, for Senator Borah's position that the world court should be reduced to body which will have the capacity merely of le- gal advisor 10 the League of Ma tions" Dr. Manley 0. Hudson, Bemls professor of international law at Harvard, today upheld the world court In an address before the Ohio Bankers association.
 Dr. Hudson called attention to the fact that during the tirst three years Of the history of the United States supreme court this body was called upon to decide but two cases where as the world court, Tn Its three years of existence, has handed down 16 opinions or judgments, and when will have two more cases on its docket.
 The world court, pr. Hudson said, acts always as court with reference to legal questions. The larger politi- cal questions which might lead to war never come before it, he said.
 "Other machinery must be pro- yided for them if we would attain the maximum of security" Dr. Hud- son said, and that machinery ex- ists today as the league of 55 na- tions.
 "I think we may say that for three reasons the new world court promises to be vital factor in our efforts to preserve world peace. II will directly contribute to the settle ment of acute situations. 1t will fac ilitate smooth working of foreign | offices, and it will contribute to the | building of new international law. T do not say that the working of the court to date has prevented any wars-We can never be certain about the wars futures disputes will be taken to the court instead of to the | battlefields.
