Suit is dismissed in Standard Oil test case
The Standard Oil Company suit testing South Dakota oil law was dismissed at its cost after the state lowered the gravity test from 46 to 42. The case cited Kansas oil as cheaper and the potential $100,000 yearly savings, with judge orders and testimony from state chemist Professor James H. Shepard supporting the change. The withdrawal ends the federal action and preserves no costs to the state.
