Modification Asked By State Board
The Senta Ria Oil and Gaa company was ordered by the Montana Supreme Court to show cause on June 30 why a decree taxing by the State Board of Equalization should not be modified. In 1936 the court upheld a plea that oil produced on federal land was not subject to state taxation. Last week a further action by the oil concern to stop the board from taxing it was dismissed, on the basis the original decree had not been modified. The board then asked that the 1936 order be modified.
