The court’s ruling sustains the gasoline tax law of 1925, affecting public treasuries and the federal aid highway plan approved by Montana voters in November. If unconstitutional, the referendum would have nullified the measure, but now refiners and gasoline sellers must settle taxes due. Tax figures show payments, protests, and unpaid amounts through late 1925, with further notes on protests and legislative actions.
