GREENE HOLDS
ROYALTY TAX ILLEGAL

Shelby, Dec. 8.-The important case
Of Ostvik Norum vs. the Ohio Oil com.
pany and the Sunburst OIL & Refining
company, was decided this morning
by Judge John J. Greene in favor ol
the plaintiff, and judgement rendered
in the sum Of $5S9.2O, together with
interest thereon from May IS, 1927,
and PLAINTIFFS costs. The decision is
Of much interest to the field generally
and to every land and royalty owner.
Action was brought by plaintiff to
recover of defendants the sum Of
$539.2O, which he claimed the defend
ants had wrongfully withheld from
him. The Ohio Oil company and the
Sunburst Oil & Gas company, follow
ing custom universal in this field,
had deducted 90 from all Norum' S
royalty checks on the theory that the
royalty oil was subject to the net
production tax.
Judge Greene in his written judg-
ment held that the royalty owners
are not responsible for their proper
tionate share Of the tax. He held IA
part, as follows:
THAT the Oil Producers License
Tax imposed by Sections 2S7 to 24OS
Of The Revised Codes Of Montana, as
amended by Chapter 81 Of the Laws
Of the Eighteenth Legislative assem-.
bly, of the state Of Montana, session
laws of 1928, is an occupation license
tax only, AMI is imposed upon per-
sons engaged in, or carrying on, the
business Of producing petroleum, or
other minerals or crude oil, and it is
not imposed upon the land owner, ana
nc part thereof is chargeable to the
land owner, the oil lessor, or the roy
atty owner, and the oil operator has
no lawful right to withhold from the
landowner, oil lessor, or royalty own

ducers License Tax

MoNTANA-PAcIFic co.
ABANDoNs OIL BUYING
CLAUSE IN LEASES

Announcement was made recently
by Chas. A. Mau, president of the
NTontana-Pacific Oil company, that
the company's policy of reserving a
preferential right to purchase oil pro-
duced on any Of the company's acre
age developed by other operators has
been abandoned
The change of policy principally af-
fects acreage in the Bannatyne and
Pondera fields, where the Montana
Pacific has extensive holdings. Both
fields were recommended for explor-
alton by Ralph Arnold, with whom Mr..
Mau is associated.
The preferential purchase reserva-
ton was waived in IA deal recently
concluded affecting acreage in the
Pondera field and Mr. Mau's announce
ment made it known that the reserva-
tion clause hereafter will be omitted
from all contracts.
The clause has stood as bar to the
completion Of several deals that have
started since the discovery wells in
both fields were completed and it is
understood that negotiations for Ban
natyne acreage that were held up be
cause OF the company's former policy
probably will be completed within a
short time. Acreage affected by these
negotiations adjoin the 80-acre tract
on which the Genou Oil and Gas com
pany's two producing wells are locat-
ed.
