TAX RULING COSTS
STATE S1,2O0,0(l)
Supreme Court Sets Aside
Kentucky Gross Sales
Levy Law.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A Supreme Court decision yesterday
in effect blocked $1,2O0,0OO from pay
ment into the Kentucky exchequer.
The court, by q 6-to-3 decision, set
aside taxes assessed under the Ken
lucky gross sales tax law against a
number Of retailers from March, 1890,
to July, 1884.
When the tax was repealed in 1884
1t was replaced by general sales tax
and a chain store tax.
The retailers, including the Stewart
Dry Goods Co. of Louisville, Fred
Levy, the j. c. Penny Co. and the
Kroger Grocery & Baking Co., con-
tended the measure was "vindictive
and deceptive" and discriminatory"
Retailers were taxed one-tWentieth
Of l per cent on the first 100000 of
gross sales, with the levy graduated
upward for each 100000 additional,
until it reached l per cent for sales
Of $1,000 and over.
Merchants were permitted to credit
against the tax any other special
license, excise, occupational or cor
poration tax.
A three-judge Federal court in
Kentucky upheld the tax Pending
final decision the protesting retailers
posted 81 100000 in lieu of paying the
assessments. pending the final out
come Of the litigation.
Justice Roberts, in delivering the
courts opinion, declared the act ar
bitrary, flimsy and an unequal burden,
and therefore invalid.
No relation was shown, he said be-

tween gross sales and net income.
Roberts added that very wide d.
vergence in net profits made the tax
unequal between merchants.
The fact that the tax may not be
burdensome does not offset the in
validity of the law, he said.
Justice Cardozo announced a dis

Stone Joined, taking the view that the
tax was valid.

from $30O,OO00O0 public works fund.
Some of the navy's part will be spent
along the Atlantic, but the greater part
will go for shipyards, dry docks and
bases on the Pacific coast, at Pearl har-
Dor, Hawaii, and at Coco Solo, Canal
Zone, which is a Submarine base.
Nearly $11,000O00 of the army's
share is to be used in beginning the
construction of great air base in
Hawaii. The total cost of this base
is estimated at $1S,000,O00.
The decision to use most of the
money in the Pacific was said to have
been influenced by the fact that the
fleet has been concentrated in Pacific
waters during much of the past two
years. Navy officials stressed before
the naval committee, that facilities for
handling the fighting vessels on the
coast are inadequate
Japan Is supposed not to be alarmed
by this program, congressional leaders
having given public and careful assur-
ance that no "Offense" Is intended and
/ that such propositions as the Hawaii
air base would have been put forward
even if Japan had not denounced the
Washington naval treaty.

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has

Clerk Charles @. Cropley, Chief JUS

was assumed the ruling on the gold

THE President threw all his weight
= into the battle to bring the revolt
ing senate appropriations committee
back into line on his $4,SSO,000, O00work
relief bill, and the committee finally
voted to reconsider the McCarran pre-
vailing wage amendment.
Chairman Glass, Virginia's unrecon-
structed rebel, was requested by the
President to inform the committee that
insistence on changes they had written
into the bill will wreck his plan to end
the dole. Another senator, said to be
close to the administration, intimated
that the President will veto the bill
if it is enacted with major changes
"that will not permit him to carry out
his program"
The McCarran amendment would
increase wage rates paid 100000 re-
lief workers to "the prevailing wage
SCALE" The President has advocated
$50 a month wage rates, based on his
belief that payment of low wages will
discourage employables on relief from
taking advantage of private work op-
portunitieS and shift men from private
to government payrolls.
It has been intimated that changes
will be suggested by the administration
to quiet assertions that the social Sc
curity program takes authority away
from the states.
Senator Adams, California Demo-
crat, has stated that he will ask the
committee again to limit the work-relief
appropriation of S2,SsO,OOO,OOO, which
he estimates is sufficient to continue on
the present basis, but not enough to
provide the higher wages and carry
out the projects the President has in
mind. An effort to curtail the pro-
gram in this way was defeated in the
committee a few days ago, although
only by a tie vote.

what is called an open market commit
tee in Washington and to include as
members of this committee three MEM
bers Of the Federal Reserve board.
The two remaining members would
come from Federal Reserve banks.
From this 1t is seen that the Reserve

takes no stretch Of the Imagination to
recognize the possibilities. Members Of
the Reserve board, while they are ap-

Allotment Cards

Growers who will need addition
al tobacco allotment cards this fall
should secure them through theil
county agents.
These growers will be given ere.
dit for their surplus yield only
when the additional cards are Sc,
cured from the agents, explained
E. Y. Floyd, of State College.
In preparing future contraces
he continued, 1885 will be one Of
the base years, and growers will
need accurate records of their pro-
duction for this year to get full al
lotmentst.
Due to various conditions, some
of the growers are producing or
their allotted acreage more tobacco
than they can sell under their re-
gular allotments, while Others are
not producing as much as their al
lotments.
At the request of growers, ar
rangement has been made that those
with a short crop may take their
surplus allotment cards to their
county agents, who will transfer
the cards to growers with an ex-
cess poundage to sell this fall.
iSnce the cards are to sell at the
