1059 ( 1925 ) , the united states supreme court declared invalid a philippine law making unlawful the keeping of books of account in any language other than english , spanish or any other local dialect , but the main reasons for the decisions are : ( 1 ) that if chinese were driven out of business there would be no other system of distribution , and ( 2 ) that the chinese would fall prey to all kinds of fraud , because they would be deprived of their right to be advised of their business and to direct its conduct .
