/, Washington, Feb. Especial cor
observation-disclosures Justice chas.
E. Hughes has obtained a decision
from the United States District court
in New York City that not only viii
compel the Government to return mil
lions Of dollars unconstitutionaliy
collected as income taxes, but demon
strates the fact that, with all its pow
er, a Democratic Congress cannot say
that white is black or black white-it
cannot consider as income something
which in fact is not income. The
case in question is but one Of q great
number Of similar cases pending, all
Of which must be decided like the
first.
A Mrs. Macomber was the owner Of
|2,200 shares of stock in the California
Standard Oil Company. On January
1, 1916, she received an additional
1,100 shares as a stock dividend. The
Government declared the dividend to
be the same as cash income. and as
sessed her IN the par value of the new
stock. She paid the tax under pro-
test, and brought suit for recovery.
In support Of his contention that
stock dividends do not represent in
come Judge Hughes cited a former
decision of the Supreme Court in
which it was ruled that "a stock d.
vidend really takes nothing from the
property Of the corporation, and adds
nothing to the interests Of the share
holders. It's property is not dimin-
ished and their interests are not in
creased. The proportional interest Of

SHARE OF FOOD.
STUFFS SET BY HOOVER
TO GET 100000 BUSHELS, PRO-
VIDED SHE CAN PAY FOR 1T.

New York, January 3.-Under the
general food program outlined by the
allies, Germany will be allowed about
100000 bushels Of foodstuffs per
month, mostly from the United
States, if she can find the money to
pay for it, according to q detailed
statement Of grain requirements ca
bled by Herbert Hoover, so Julius H.
Barnes, president of the United States
Grain Corporation, and made public
here tonight.
Between now and ny l, the state
ment said, France anu Italy will take
100000 bushels of wheat and flour
from the grain corporation. while the
allied governments will take also
about B,000,O00 bushels Of oats.
If restrictions are removed on Ger.
cal imports to European neutrals
they will require about 60, 1000, 00C
bushels Of wheat, rye or barley, in

prevail Of the National organization.
In this connection may I call to your
attention the fact which is doubt
less familiar to you, that by virtue of
of United States statute all funds COL
lected in the name Of the Red Cross
belong to the National organization
and are handled by the local organi-
cation as trust funds. We are requir-
ed to make a report to the Govern
ment. in regard to the expenditure of
all Of these funds, however collected
and wherever expended. Great care
is necessary, therefore in preparing
proper accounts and in turning them
over to the Chapter organization for
transmission to the Division office.
With the Christmas greetings Of the
staff Of the Northern Division and
with best wishes for your future.

RUSSIAN PRINCESSES
LEARN TO TRIM HATS

|
Y. W. c. A. Saves Wife Of General
From Becoming charwoman.
When the war work Of the Y. W. c.
A. in Russia has all been told one Of
the most interesting stories viii lie In
the establishment of the first Women's
Cooperative Association at Moscow.
There day after day princesses work
side BY side with peasant girls, wives
Of high Russian officials make dresses
or trim hats at long tables with simple,
unlettered women, and the moneN is
used for self support Of these prin-
cesses and notable women as well al
for the peasant classes.
The need and suffering throughout
all Russia was SO great ut the time
the Association was established that
it was a problem to find where the
money would help the greatest num-
Der Of people. 1t was thought best to
expend it to help capitalize organize
tons for giving work and permanent
opportunities to families and individu-
ais to ear their own living.
The women bring their handiwork
to the Association for sale or take or
ders to do dressmaklng, millinery, etc.,
in the rooms Of the society or at home.
Suitable work was found just in time
not long ago to keep the wife Of one of
Russia's greatest generals from going
out as q charwoman to earn bread for
her husband, who was III

corporation will easily dispose Of all
wheat, and perhaps a small carry
over, if any, at the next harvest" the
cable said.
"The basis of price of all these
wheat sales included not only the
basic price paid to farmers, but hand
ling and storage expenses Of the grain
corporation. The grain corporation is
therefore, in q strong position because
Of firm sales about equal to it's stock
on hand, and with its available $780,
100000 capital, and the corporation
will emphatically maintain the 1918
guaranty for which purpose it was
created.
The supreme food council under
military advice has granted Germany
the right to import 10000, 900 lbs. of
pork products pea month as soon as

This and neutral demand should over

two months after being started; in
fact by peace there will be shortage in
pork production.

new INCOME TAX law
DISCUSSED BY HUGHES

each shareholder remains the same.
The only change is in the evidence
which represents that interest. the
shares and the original shares rep
resenting the same proportional inter
est that the original shares represent
ed before the issues of the new ones"
Judge Hughes contended that not
only could the tax not be levied un-
der the amendment to the Constitu-
ton permitting the assessment or M
come taxes, but it likewise was re-
pugnant to the provision of the Con-
~stitntion which says that direct taxes
must be apportoned to the popula-
ton.
The income tax law Of 1917. under
the terms Of which the tax in the
Macomber cas- was collected, specif-
cally states that "stock dividends
shall be considered income" But the
fact is that a stock dividend is not
income, and the declaration Of Con-
gress to the contrary does not make
it so, hence they have no Constitu-
tional right to tax a dividend as in
come. The reasoning Of Justice
Hughes is SO clear that any school
boy can follow it, but the North Caro-
lima statesmen, Kitchen and Simmons
who were responsible for the Act of
1917, paid little attention to logic of
that kind. They will now have to find
some way in the bill now in purse of
enactment to reimburse the Treasury
for the millions that will be required
in the refunding Of the taxes uncon-
stitutionally collected under the pres
ent law.

Division Manager Issues Letters to
All Organizations in Northern Di-
vision.

The following letter to all Chap
tiers, Branches and A%uxiliaries was
written last week by F. T. Hefelfn-
ger, Northern Division manager:
Under the date Of Dec. 9 we ad-
dressed to all chapters a letter stat
ing that any future production which
we would ask Of the Chapters would
be financed by the national organ
ization and that Division would fur
nish free materials for this produc-
ton. We asked the Chapters to esti-
mate as closely as possible the de-
mands that would be made on. them in
connection with their Home Service,
nursing work, and the like, and to
forward any surplus funds to the d.
vision, 50 that the money could be
used for relief work abroad.
The future program Of the Red
Cross has not yet been entirely out
lined and it will be impossible for
Red Cross organizations to make such
an estimate as we have suggested
with any degree Of. accuracy. Some
organizations, however, have large
SURPRISES on hand-more than are
likely to be used on any program. It
was with the intention Of securing the
imemdiate use Of the money for relief
work abroad that the request was
made.
We do not desire that the Chapters
and Branches shall in any way cripple
their future usefulness, but we are
very anxious to prevent the expendi-
