New York. March 15.-The Standard
OIL company today disbursed 23,O0O,
600 in dividends. 1t was the regular
quarterly dividend Of per cent and 20
per cent extra cash dividend.
This probably is the largest cash dis
bursement ever made at any one time
on the stock of a single corporation.
Standard Oil was quoted on the curb
today at 53s bid.
The magnitude of the shifting of cap
ital involved in today's payment may
be judged by the fact that the largest
quarterly payment which the United
States government ever has to make on
its debts is s5.45O. 900.

The most Startling article, which has
appeared in the Sheldon edition of the
Capital was one published today on tax
lodging. The only fault to be found
with the statement is that no names are
given. but individuals are so closely de-
scribed that it is not difficult to under
stand who is meant in several instances.
For instances, the Capital comes in for q
share of the criticism. though the name
of the paper is not given.
The article is herewith reproduced in
full, including comments:
