STORES WILL PUSH
FIGHT AGAINST TAX
Chain Organizations Dispute
Validity of Levies
by States.
BY DEAN DINWOODEY.

Chain store owners and operators
have not finished their fight against
the levy of State taxes directed particu-
larly against them, despite the refusal
OF the Supreme Court of the United
States On Monday to reopen the case
in which the court held constitutional
the Indiana chain-store tax law. the
first case before the high tribunal in
which the issue has been raised
TWO other cases are before the court
today in which chain-store owners are
disputing the validity of levies made
against them under laws of North Caro-
lima and Mississippi. These cases are
scheduled for argument within the next
day or two. The decision of the court
on the power of the States to assess
larger taxes against chain stores than
those levied against So-called unit stores
will probably not be handed down, how
ever. before the end Of November.
Other States having tax laws dis
eliminating against chain stores,
whether legally or illegally. have delayed
the enforcement OF their new laws until
the action of the Supreme Court in the
Indiana case. This hesitation Of taxing
officials may indicate some doubt IN
their minds as to the validity Of their
statutes.
Now that the Supreme Court has
finally disposed Of the Indiana case
and no further appeal TO that tribunal
being possible, States having recently
placed on their statute books somewhat
similar laws will make assessments un-
der them. the chain stores will con-
test these levies and new cases will
undoubtedly arise involving not only
the constituencies of the statutes.
but their Interpretation.
Ostensibly designed for the purpose
OF raising revenue. the laws taxing
chain stores at rates IN excess of those
on other mercantile establishments
have been enacted by State Legisla-
lures with the purpose in view of max
ing it less difficult for the local indie
pendent merchant to compete with
chains often controlled and operated
by persons living outside the State.
The trend toward such legislation is
evidenced by the fact that during the
Spring sessions of State Legislatures
a total of SO bills TO tax the ownership
OF two or more stores at rates higher
than the tax on the ownership OF onlv
one store were introduced in IS States
Bills. each proposing a tax of 81 0CJ
per store, were introduced in Arkansas
Illinois. Pennsylvania. West Virginia
and Wisconsin. A measure in the
Massa chusetts Legislature even pro-
posed tax of s2700 per store.

BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK. October l6.-The New
York Federal Reserve Bank retreated
further from its cheap credit policy
yesterday by advancing its rediscount
rate-the rate which member banks
pay to borrow at the Reserve-by l cent
to level of 81 per cent. This was on
top of last weeks advance to 2l2 from
IA per cent.
While Reserve authorities. in keeping
with their fixed policy, declined to
comment. it was said in high banking
circles that the Reserve was at the same
time urging member banks freely to
extend credit to clients for all needful
and legitimate demands, and explain
ing that the higher rediscount rate
should not be interpreted as indicating
desire to restrict credit. not to cur
tail member bank borrowings.
Explanations for Raise.
The following explanations for the
higher rate we're offered in prominent
banking quarters:
a. The 81 per cent rate will
cause an increase in open market
money rates and make it more profita-
bic for banks to loan money for in
dustrial and commercial purposes. 1t
should tend to overcome ultra -conserv-
atiSm in extending credit. While the
higher rate makes it more expensive
for banks to borrow at the Reserve, their
Reserve borrowings are normally much
smaller than their extensions of credit
to clients.
90 The increase to 312 per cent
should have a stimulating effect upon
bank stocks, through increasing po-
tential bank earnings, as did last weeks
increase to 2'2 per cent. This should
tend to restore public confidence in
banks.
80 While leading bankers have not
been averse to the large exports Of
gold from this country in the past four
weeks, they recognize that the outflow
has been so rapid as to cause some
m.sgivings and neutrality-suspicious. on
the part of the public, both at home
and abroad, and feel that a higher
rate will tend to retard the movement.
a. The increase in the rate brings
it In line with more normal open mar

NEW YORK, October 16.-United
States Government bonds sold at new

the improvement in the foreign Situa-

wall Street naturally expected, after
two successive advances in the redis-

expected. 1t placed most United States
Government long-term securities on a
per cent or higher yield basis Bids
for large blocks OF governments were
reported in the market. but bidders
showed no tendency to take portions of
the amounts bid for and kept their
bids well below existing quotations
Some Of these bids were encountered
on the decline, and after the early dip
quotations improved a small amount.
