Montana to Seek Return of Gas Tax Money From Eight Oil Firms
Eight Montana oil companies face court action to disgorge about a quarter of a million dollars in gas tax money collected from Montana consumers but not turned over to the state. Attorney General L. A. Foot says about $130,000 was collected under 1921 and 1923 laws later declared unconstitutional, and the firms refuse to remit. The piece questions retention of funds by refiners and distributors and argues the money should be paid to the state for public use.
