RETAIL CHANGES
Independent Marketing
Plans to Escape Chain
Store Tax Burdens.
BY the Associated Press.

by ttc 1oSOClatcd Acoo'
NEW YORK, March 3.-Formation
of completely independent retail
marketing organization for gasoline to
replace present company operated or
controlled filling station systems fig
ured today in plans Of high leaders
of the industry to escape chain store
taxes held constitutional by the SUI
preme Court.
The tribunal decided yesterday that
chain store taxes in West Virginia ap-
ply to filling stations leased by refining
companies, thus destroying the first
line of defense built by the big re-
f1ners against that type of impost.
Authorities in the petroleum trade
pointed out that several producers
with their own retailing systems had
leased stations to managers, or SIM
ilarly transferred the property, In an
effort to escape taxes in the last few
years.
Such move was hastened by re-
cent Supreme Court decision which
held that the West Virginia chain
store taxes applied to filling stations
directly operated by the refiners.
Several months ago there was a
wave of sentiment favoring the out
right sale of filling station properties,
but at that time officials decided to
await the court decision.
