The supreme court today agreed to pass on the Louisiana severance tax dispute involving the Ohio Oil Company. It directed a partial payment of the tax and a bond to await full ruling, while higher 1928 rates and related injunctions are reviewed. The case stems from the federal district court’s dismissal of an injunction and the earlier Supreme Court sustains the higher levy.
