CURB PRICES GAIN
THEN TURN DOWN
Part of Early Advances Lost
Shortly Before Midday

BY JOHN A. CRONE.


Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, May 20.-Opening ir-
regularly higher, the Curb Exchange
today lost part of its early advance
shortly before midday. when only q
handful of inactive specialtieS registered
gains over their pervious final levels.
Electric Bond IL Share most Of the
time was up about half point. Cities
Service, after opening on a block OF
$500 shares at 1919, of u, rallied
slightly. then dropped to new low
for the year. Standard Oil Of Indiana
maintained Its early recovery. but other
pivotal issues did not fare 80 well.

to traders views on automotive pros

Standard Oil Of indiana resisted early
offerings brought out by the announce
ment Of further reduction in gasoline
prices. The company is reported to have
leased the Freeman-Keystone section Of
Teapot Dome Pipe Line to Kansas. Nat
ural Gas, q Cities Service subsidiary.

DECISION UPHOLDS
CHAIN STORE TAXES
Ruling Seen as Leaving Or
PLANTATIONS to Mercy of
State Legislatures.

Chain stores may be taxed to the
limit. The Supreme Court Of the United
States has so indicated in an opinion
which, some experts believe, leaves the
stores wide OPEN for almost any blow
the State Legislatures decide to admin
lister.
For more than five years the chains
have endeavored to prevent any taxes
being levied on them which were not
imposed upon department and other
stores. Such levies amount to class
legislation, they contended, and that
opinion Just handed doWnUwheth her
the chains are 30 different from other
stores that they may be put in q sep
arate class. An interesting feature of
the opinion Is the reference to the
cases holding that special taxes may be
imposed upon persons using trade cou-
pons and that hand laundries may be
taxed, although steam laundries are not,
Given Separate Classification.
The chains may be separately class
ned, the Suprme Court held in q 5-to-4
opinion, In which Chief Justice Hughes
joined with the so-called liberal group,
composed OF Justices Holmes, Brandeis.
stone and Roberts. There are nImer-
Gus distinctions between chain stores
ana otner stores, the majority opinion,
written by Justice Roberts, declared
These differences and advantages in
favor OF the chains Is shown by their
serted.
The decision itself applied only to
the Indiana tax, which Is graduated
according to the number of stores in
the State, the rate being So for the 1irst
store, $40 Tor each OF the next four,
and so on up to 40, when the maximum
levy OF $25 store Is imposed.
These rates, Of course, are not hiph.
To the taxpayer involved, who owned
225 stores, it meant a difference of
less than $1,000. Tax experts agree.
however, that under the opinion, these
rates might be increased to any point
short Of conflscation. There does not
seem to be any sure comfort" the dis
senting opinion says, "in the suggestion
sometimes made that this court may be
expected to intervene whenever the tax
reaches the point Of destruction"
Two Bills Pending.
Clearly enough the rates may be
much higher than those imposed in
Indiana without conf1scating the chains
property. Just what the court would
consider an exorbitant tax no one can
tell until the State Legislatures get into
action. Fortunately for the chains,
most of the legislative bodies have ad-
journed for the year, but few are still
at work, and in at least two States
chain store tax bills are pending.
One ray of hope remains for the
chains. The rate OF the Mississippi
sales tax on them Is one-fourth of per
cent, or double that payable by depart
ment and other stores. The validity of
that classification Is also before the
Supreme Court and decision against
the State would mean that, while the
court will permit a special tax to be
imposed on the chains definite limit
will be set on the rates.
The opinion handed down in the In
diana case does not indicate any such
intent, but it should be borne In mind
that the decision was to 4. ANY one
of the majority five could have changed
the entire result by voting the other
way.

SAN GABRIEL DAM
PROJECT STARTED

LOS ANGELES. Aug II. UP
The S21 100000 San Gabriel flood
control projects will get under way
Monday when T. c. Eaton, county
flood control engineer, sends men
to clear brush from the sites Of
three proposed dams.
The three low dams we're propos
ed as alternate controls for the
abandoned high dam at Canyon
Forks.
Eaton was instructed to go ahead
after the state supreme court de-
cided the county was legally en-
powered TO expend the remaining
s2I 600 900 of the original issue left
after the high dam was paid for.
While only $50 men will begin
preliminary work. construction OF
the three dams will eventually en-
plov 1000 men, Eaton said.
Work probably will be concen-
trated at first, Eaton said. on site
No. /. of the three dams. about two
miles below the old high dam site,
eight miles north of Azusa.
The structure, a combination of
rock and concrete, will be about 300
feet high.
OF the other two proposed low
dams. one will be constructed IL
eacn foro of the canyon. About
three years will be needed to COM
plete all three dam structures.
Eaton explained that the smaller
force of men would be concentrated
on brush clearing that this debris
may be destroyed by fire during the
approaching rainy season. All labor
will be paid a wage Of S4 per day
