TOP U SAYS OIL
r MUST PAY TAX

The state supreme court has
held unanimously that the
Standard Oil company of In
diana must pay the state chain
store tax, under the 1888 law,
on the service stations the firm
leases to individuals in Mon
tana. The suit involved 81 ,674 in
taxes paid under protest. Lewis
and Clark county district court
had ruled previously that the
company was not bound to pay
the tax when the stations were
leased to individuals.
In it's decision, the supreme
court held that the oil COM
pany controlled the stations
through the distribution of it's
own products, cooperative adj
vertising and consistent or
duplicative identification of
stations. The decision also
pointed out that the tax is a
license levy, not a property tax.

his parents in WyomiSSing, Pa.
He expects to be gone a month.
Jack Moody came last Satur-
day night to spend the week.
end at home. Between here and
Decker he met another car,
which turned out to give him
one track to run in on the
snowy road. Somehow there
wasn't anything solid under his
right wheels, and so he went
into the ditch, and the other
car whizzed merrily on. Jack
spent an hour or two getting
out of that ditch, and woe be
onto the driver of that other
car! He is known!
Mrs. Fele Fernandez left
early last week for her home
in Alamosa, Colo, after a ten
day visit at the Rosebud Noun
tain ranch.
Mrs. johnson, Torrey johnson

Herb Jones and Frank Ran
dali put up ice three days last
week. Torrey Johnson and Louis
Byron spent two days putting
up about seven tons of ice for
making ice cream on the Rose
bud Mountain ranch, and Earl
Adsit assisted by Benny Enous
put up his ice also. The warm
spring weather we had soon
played havoc with the ice, so
that by Saturday night it was
practically gone. However that
which was harvested was I'M
usually clear and firm.
AS far as we have been able
to learn, the ground hog did not
see his shadow last Friday, any
where around this part of the
country.

Facts
About Agriculture

Rapid progress in the field of
rural identification in Montana
during the past year has
brought ten federally financed
REA. lines into operation CON-
pared with seven a year ago,
says Armin j. Hill, extension
rural identification specialist
in his annual report covering
the years activities. These ten
lines have a total of 1881 miles
of line in use compared with
$50 miles a year ago and farm
and non-farm customers total
1908 compared with 1,491 a
year ago. In addition to the
government financed REA lines
there has been a gain in the
number of cooperatives organ
lied independently of the REA
program. In all, Montana on
January l this year had $3.50
farms served by high line power
compared with 1900 the prev
lOuS year.
The number of forced farm
sales through foreclosure and
other causes declined 10 per
cent from 1888 to 1899.
Carryover of domestic wool in
the U. S. at the beginning of
the new marketing season on
April l, 1910 is likely to be the
smallest in recent years, says
the federal bureau of econom-
les. Because of the small sup
plies of domestic wool available,
interest in the wool market in
the next few months will be
centered largely on foreign
woods. With mill consumption
likely to continue at a fairly
high level in the first quarter
of 1910, imports of apparel
wool in the early months of
1910 probably will be larger
than at any time since the ear
ly months of 1887.

MORE DRUNKEN DRIVERS

Five hundred and fifty mot
orists were arrested for drunk
en- driving in 1889, as compared
with 464 the year before, 40
in 1887 and 371 in 1886, accor-
ding to a report by Lou Boz
decker, supervisor of the state
highway patrol.
There were lat persons killed
by highway tragedies in 1889,
a gain of 1888 per cent over the
1888 figure, but a decrease OF
more than 81 per cent from the
number of persons killed in
1884, when there was no patrol.

DEFENSE CHEMISTRY - We
are inclined to think of chem
icals in warfare almost solely
in terms of poison gases and
incendiary bombs. But in a re-
port by DR.. William A. Hamor,
associate director of Mellon In
stitute, on relationship between
war and industrial research in
America and Europe, it is
brought out that a great many
plastics that were originally de-
veloped for peacetime industrial
uses are being applied to war
purposes of a defensive nature.
He reported that koroseal, a new
observation-disclosures test tube
product, has been found to have
highest resistance to penetra-
ton by mustard gas. Other mil
itary applications of plastic ma
terials he cited included trans
parent Illuminated materials in
airplane construction; cellulose
acetate, base of synthetic silk,
for windows for air raid pro-
lection; phenol-type resins for
gun stocks and soldiers Cog
giles, and nylon, another sub
stitute silk, for use as para
chute material.

this to be true, but up to the present

That plan will be explained in detail

| One could not circulate among the
women, however, without feeling that
they were strongly for Roosevelt and

were doubtful were having their
doubts removed, by adroit manage

people.
Current Capitol Chatter
Speaking as a dirt farmer, Mime

ard Buckler, voting against the Bar

he was sick and tired Of hearing anti
labor congressman talk about protect
ing the interests of the farmer in
order to cripple labor legislation. I'm
sick and tired Of seeing the anti-labor
crowd hiding behind the skirts of the
farmer; the economic interests of the
farmer and laborer are the same" he
said. American military experts

have a large number of airplanes on
hand. With large plant capacity, lat
