FEDERAL TAXES
EQUAL PAY OF

Federal automotive taxes have

revealed in a study made by the
American Petroleum Industries
Committee
In 1920. the Committee finds,
AL 900 persons we're employed in
automobile. body, and parts fac
tories. The federal government at
that time levied no excise taxes on
automobiles and parts. In 1887 some
$4,000 workers were employed in
the automobile industry, an increase
OF 10000 over 1929. At average
earnings of 1900 a year. the addi-
tional workers received approximate
ly $115, 100000 in wages. How
ever, federal automotive excise tax
es on automobiles, parts, and ac-
in 1887 amounted to $123.-
a total greater than the
wages paid the 10000 additional
workers. For every man added to
the payrolls OF the automobile in
dustry, federal excise taxes on au-
and parts absorbed an
amount equal to the wages OF an
other worker.
Federal taxes on gasoline and lu-
Dricating oil in 1897 totaled $685.
7O6, $40, or approximately 20 per

GEO. RYBURN
PASSES away
At BILLINGS

The state of Montana lost one
of It's staunchest oil industry sup

at Billings OF George B. .Ryburn,
age ~. To Ryburn was due the
credit for much OF the development
OF Lake Basin area He has kept
up interest in the area for several
years and expected this year to re-
alize HIS ambition of a deep test
in Big Lake, which is probably the
factor that will make some great
oil fields in the Billings district.
1t was largely the confidence OF
George Ryburn that kept awe the
development and operation OF Big

first leases and who succeeded in
interesting Midwest Refining Co
This company drilled the discovery
well. which flowed. Other wells,
drilled some distance away. were

to abandon the field. Ry
burn again stepped in and succeeded
in interesting several Independents
in the field and the operation of
the producing wells was turned ov-
er to LincO Petroleum Co For years
past these wells have consistently
made 40 barrels per day, with no
new drilling.
Ryburn was always looking for
ward to a deep test which he be-
lieves will reveal large production
in the three additional horizons
which can be reached in a drilling
depth Of $500 feet or less. He sue
ceeded in intesting the /. T. l. o.
Co.. in a deep test but thus far
nothing has been done.

The city of Great Falls is not q

derstand the term, but / have felt
that If the city government could
set an example by buying only Mon

give some momentum to the move

gallons or an average of $500. gal
Ions a month in the SIS automotive
units and the other 20 gasoline

Propaganda had been spread To-
cally that Montana produced gasO-
line was not up TO the standard
of foreign brands and many of us
believed it, I caused certain tests, to
be made of Montana gasoline, the
results OF which absolutely proved
that our own gasoline was equal
to and superior to many brands
that were being sold locally. After
that. an executive order was Issued
TO all departments that only Mon
tana produced gasoline should be
used in our automotive and gaso-
line burning units.
