CHAINS PREPARE
T0L0WERBURDEN
OF STATE TAXES
Larger and Fewer Stores,
With Sales to Managers
Likely to Help.
BY ]. G. DONLEY.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, June 5.-What will
become Of the corporate chain store,
now that the Supreme Court decision
in the Louisiana tax law case makes
the sky the limit when a State desires
to tax the chains out of existence?
The Louisian chain store tax law
was new departure in such tax legis-
lation. 1t was the first law to base
taxes per store on the number of
stores a chain owns in the entire
country, rather than in the State con-
cerned.
1t provides taxes ranging from $40
each for 2 to 10 stores up to $3.50 each
for all stores over 500 That means
that any national chain with more
than 500 stores in the whole country
must pay the State of Louisiana
tax Of $3.50 annually for each of its
stores located in that State.
There is nothing for the chains to
do but make adjustments to meet the
new conditions. The facts are that
the condition of taxation and legisla-
ton aimed at the chains, supposedly
for the benefit of the independent re-
tailers, is not new thing and that
the chains have been gradually pre-
pairing to meet it for the past several
years.
Special chain store taxes of various
sorts and degrees were effective prior
to January l, 1896, in Idaho, Mon
tana, Colorado, Texas, Minnesota
Iowa, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Michigan,
Indiana, Kentucky, Alabama. West
Virginia. North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Florida and Maryland. And
since the beginning of last year such
laws have taken effect in South
Dakota, Tennessee, Mississippi and
Georgia, with a tax law recently
passed in Pennsylvania. Statutes pre-
viously in effect in California and
Maine have been repealed or rejected
by referendum.
One route which mitigates the tax
burden is the closing of numbers of
neighborhood stores and development
Of larger stores, so that the tax will
rest upon larger income per store.
That trend has been particularly
marked in the grocery chain field,
where the total number of units op-
Grated by national corporate chains
has shrunk from around 10000 in
1928 to an estimated $4,000 last
year.
The opening of each new COM
plete food market" selling meats and
fish as we'll as groceries, fruits and
vegetables, usually spells the death of
two or three, or more, small stores.
The percentage OF decrease in total
retail volume, therefore, has been
much less than the percentage of
shrinkage in number Of outlets.
Another important avenue Of escape
lies in changing their spots They
may become so-called voluntary
chains'-with the unit stores owned
by former managers or whoever can
be induced to buy them. while the
central management functions in
"service-and-supply" relationship un-
der a kind Of exclusive contract.
Wholesale grocers, wanting to build
up their business with independents
suffering from chain store competi-
ton, showed the way to build "vol-
untary chains several years ago.
Some chains which have been doing
a good bit of their own manufacturing
are likely to begin advertising and
promoting their brands on national
scale and to 60 In for general food
wholesaling.

FRIENDLY ACT Is
REWARDED BY HALF
INTEREST IN MINE

Fortunes were made quickly and
Unexpectedly during the days when
the richest and most accessible ore
was being gathered up in the wes-
tern states. An example of how un-
expectedly riches could come is fur
nished by one o. P. Mace, an ear
" resident of the Gunnison Valley
in Colorado.
Mace, according to a story told
in a series of letters to the Phila-
delphia Press, found a stranger
stuck in the mud with his OK team.
The stranger proved to be w. A..
Fisher Of Maryland who had driv-
en- his oxen from the Atlantic sea-
board to search for gold.
Mace obligingly helped the ten
derfoot prospector out of the mud
and the latter promised him a half
interest in the first mine he found
A few days later Fisher appear
ed to make good his promise, Civ
ing Mace a half share OF the Forest
Queen lode. The ore was found to
be rich and soon thereafter Mace
sold his reward for helping a strang-
err out of the mud for 500. 900
cash.

Finds Hills Structure
Soon after Kevin-Sunburst devel-
opment was under way the editor
of the journal succeeded in getting
Col. Jameson and Major Howard
to go to the Eclipse bar, a placer
gold property in the Sweetgrass
Hills, with the idea of evolving a
process to mine the rich placer de-
post utilizing natural gas to pump
water Maj. Howard started out to
look for a source for natural gas.
He did not return to Gold Butte.
Three days later he showed up in
Sunburst, declaring that he had
found an coil empire" in struc-
lures around the Hills, including
Whitlash, which he called RE
serve" and which is now produc-
tive: Flat Coulee, which is proven
for oil; Bears Den, which is prov
en- for oil and gas; Government
creek structure, untested; Utopia
dome, on which two wells were
drilled; Grandview, on which one
well had gas and another a con-
siderable amount of oil; STROBE,
which has had one failure but which
will be re-drilled; and Pinhorn
dome on which one dry hole was
drilled.
Goes To Saskatchewan
The depression brought ruin to
the Sunburst Oil & Refining Co.,
which went into receivership and.
Howard entered independent opera
tions in Kevin-Sunburst field for
a time, later going to Saskatchewan
where he has been at work on ex-
tensive surveys FOR the government
and for private capital. He again
formed a partnership with Dorsey
Hager, with firm name of Hager
& Howard. With the development of
the central Illinois fields, Howard
was called out of Saskatchewan and
for several months had been doing
geological work in the booming IL
linois areas.

daughters, Marie, Helen and Patsy
