Chains Propose Peace Plan In Tax Control

Chains propose delaying the 1042 referendum on the Utah chain stores tax until after the war to support a united defense by all grocers. The Utah Chain Stores Association urged postponement in a proposal to the Utah Retail Grocers Association. The plan, signed by H Tracy Cher as president of the chain stores association and A D Stewart of the retail grocers association, would defer if a special session occurs before August 4, 1942. It notes the tax could reach $500 per year per outlet and up to $5000 per store established after the act’s effective date, aiming to expose chains by slow death through freezing. Attorney General Giles has ruled the freezing clause unconstitutional.
