During the special session of the legislature a law was passed auth-- orizing the division of the tax col-- lected under the provisions of the original law, but action was pre-- vented by the filing of numerous injunctions on the part of various oil iistributina concerns, claiming they are entitled to the taxo the ground it was collected illegally.
