PRoMoTERs IN BATTIN

A new complication in the PWA
project to build a natural gas dis
tributing system in Havre has orisen
with the filing of suit by c. c..
Bronson against FRANKIE Browne
who acted as trustee fer local
group which was to have received
royalty of 12k cents per thou
sand cubic feet on all gas sold.
Bronson alleges that Browne sold
the trusteeship to ]. Bland Carlett
and others, overlooking the interests
of those for whom he was trustee
Bronson was the originator of the
n'ah whereby a $4,000 allotment
~ds secured from the WPA for
construction of a natura gas dis

The person who can profit by the suc-
cess of our members In Cut Bank can
surely do as well in the future as we
nave done in the past. The depression
created the great opportunities which came
to us from Out Bank. Similar opportunities
have grown ont of the recent depression,
particularly the crude market situation
in northern Montana which grew out OF
the loss of the Canadian market.
The man who is intent on buying

CUT BANK HAS "MADE GOOD"

cent royalty on a given acre is the
owner of rs barrels of oil. II he paid
81 per barrel for this, he paid too much.
n he paid so cents a barrel, he has a
profit of 1902 ON top of the return of
his money. II he paid % cents a bar
rel, he has a 5000 profit. If he paid
5 cents a barrel he has 1.5OO%o profit.
An investor should figure the neces-
sary investment OF the operator. The
operator, armed with facts regarding pos
sibIe potential of given tract, will not
drill wells If he believes that the ultimate
recovery viii not pay him a profit on
his Investment. If it costs $4,000 TO
drill a well. he is not satisfied with a
yield of $500 per acre, which would
barely pay him out He expects to AT
LEAST get his money back plus 800
per cent.
BY following the investment of the
operator, the royalty investor is not like
ly to go far wrong If ne sees to it that
the return of the operators investment
will be sufficient to pay a profit to the
royalty owner.
Carefully considering these two eIe-
ments: good title and price, the investor
then has to gamble on the generosity of

ment ON a yield of $500 per acre and the

We look back at our early investments

theory.
We believe in the significance of a

We had long propounded the theory:
"OiI does not occur in spOOnsfuI or

ANY oil is found, there is likely to be
more near at hand. So it was that the

AUTOMOTIVE TAX
BILL IN 1887 is
ALL-TIME RECORD

II is estimated that 1910, 100000
paid in gasoline taxes in 1887, a
total which makes the annual gaso-
line tax bill alone greater than the
total of all taxes collected by all
states and by the thousands OF city
and local governments in the United
States in 1900.
The 1887 automotive tax bill is
even heavier. In addition to fed
eral and state gasoline, taxes, motor
lists paid an estimated $3.50, 100000
in federal excise taxes, $375,00O, 900
in state motor vehicle registration
fees, and SIS, 100000 in automotive
personal property, city, and county
taxes. These levies are quite aside
from, and additional to, all the reg
ular taxes every motorist pays as a
citizen.
In 1900, when the tax collector
travelled by horse and buggy, and
covered far less ground, the federal
government collected about $780,
600, 600 in taxes; the states $780,
100000, and cities and other local
governments 500, 100000. The
total tax bill Of the entire nation
for 1900 was about 1880, 600, 600
or roundly $2OO,OO0,OOO less than
the 1887 tax bill paid by owners Of
motor vehicles alone!
The estimated $3.50, 900 900 in
automotive taxes, collected in 1887,
set an all-time record high, and is
nearly 1925, 100000 greater than
the automotive tax bill of 1886.
