SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. %.
If Dominic Cogliandro, 1845-A

he would get a merit badge.
Unfortunately, he isn't a Boy
Scout. He's a bartender.
Finding a stray wallet on his bar,
he picked it up, opened it to look
for the owners name, incidentally
noting that it contained sum
that looked like an even thousand

Not batting an eye, he at once
searched the tables, returned the
wallet intact, to its owner-Karl

Car Manufacturers
Must Pay Colorado
Chain Store Tax

DENVER, July 13. (UP)-State
Treasurer Charles Armstrong ruled
today that all national automobile
manufacturers must pay Colorado
chain store taxes for each of their
dealers IN the state.
The treasurer sent formal bills
totaling $53O,l30 to seven manu-
facturers to cover taxes back to
1885, when the Colorado chain store
tax went into effect
It was believed to be the first
attempt in the United States to
bring car manufacturers under a
chain store law. Armstrong predict
ed other states would make similar
assessments ii Colorado's attempt to
collect was successful.
The treasurer said he would at
tempt to include hundreds of filling
stations leased to individual opera
tors by oil companies under his
ruling. Several voluntary chains
of retail grocers also were expected
to be included.

growth.
