"STOCK DIVIDEND' OBSESSION

There is a great deal of msconcoption displayed by critics who undertake discuss the revenue meas of the government. This is particularly con spicuous in comment the recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States invadating the taxation of stock dividends income, and in sug- gesons of substitute measures to catch and assess these aegedly elusive profits.
 As usual their promise is wrong They seem over whemed by an obsession that the receiver of stock dividend certificate has gotten something for noth- ing and upon which tax has been ever will be paid It must be remembered that the stock dividend represents accreons to capital made possi be by the original in the companys stock, the same land value may increase after the buyer has made his original investment. All of this added value remains with the corporton or in the land. Should the sell his stock at the increased value 1t represents then takes his taxable profit just as the land takes his taxable profit, when he sells his land than he paid
 Before such sale the certificate issued for a stock dividend represents nothing but capital invested in business, the same the original stock-that is in land, machinery, material. etc. The injustice of a proposed tax this is sef-evident The earnings which find their way into the surplus and the undi- vded profits accounts of corporation already have been once taxed as profits, under the Federal revenue act before what Is left of them is, by sys- tenn bookkeeping, assigned to the capital account
 Nothing is taken from the resources of a corpora tion by the declaration of a stock dividend, is done when a cash dividend is paid and nothing is dissipated nothing wasted hidden away. What the certificate of stock represents remains assets prooperty subject to all taxes levied against the corporation and continues public while the corporation exists. Neither the corpora tion the stockholder evades any legitimate taxa tion through the distribution to the stockholders of mere evidences of the enhanced value of his original investment.

Belligerent Alaskans
Seattle Post -Intelligencer)

NNSo'''io 'i'NN''i6N''NN''
 The hearings before the Senate Committee on Commerce the bill proposing to extend the pow CTS of the Alaska Shipping Board offer additional proof that the hardest thing in the world to accom- psh is get two professional Alaskans to lgree on anything. The Post-lntegencer does not say which side of the controversy is right put out of the charges and counter charges the only impression possible is that each side is right in ing that the other is Certainly the Senate cannot find it helpful when Alaska factions decide that the stylish battle is public hearing in committee
 The country has become accustomed to the com paint that few persons Congress in public life understand Alaska's problems. By careful cam paign of education Eastern Congressmen were put into possession of certain basic facts concerning AL aska's magnificent size and it's splendid resources, and when designed to benefit the Northland under consideration, opposing factions of outside Alaskans moved in and staged family row. It appeared that did one side attribute an honest purpose to the other This spirit of in tolerance and habit of making reckless charges have done more to retard progress in Alaska than any thing else.
 The tendency to take sides a controversy is human trait, possessed by Congressmen well as others. Acrimonious debate, immoderate speech and mutual recriminations have tendency to align members of Congress side the other. This conflict of opinion has the effect of retardng action on any bill matter how meritorious it may be. The anger displayed by the in-andout Alaskans is usually reflected in the Congressional committees which have the under consideration.
 Perhaps 1t would be tco much to hope that Alas kans compose their differences at home that Con 5ress might have the benefit of orderly presenta- ton of facts. ge-together meeting in advance of Congressional hearing would be welcome relief from the quarrels and bickerngs at Washington Even in Territory of such magnificent distances the Northland, display of community spirit is among the possibilities The trouble appears to be that professional Aaskans seldom meet each other in out of Alaska that their opinions unknown until Congressional committee makes a record of all the ugly charges and reckless statements. has been rather convncingly demonstrated that staging quarres before Congress does not make for that the kindlier and more diplomatic way might be tried just

READ LEEHEY'S LETTER TO THE P.-L

The Empire is printing today letter from Mau- rice D. Leehey to member of the editorial staff of the Seattle Post-Integencer that is worth read ing The letter refers to the speech of an Indiana Congressman who complained about the cost of a trip of the Governor of Alaska throughout Alaska ing period of two months. which amounted to $326. The speech was so silly that it did not require notice in community where people are familiar with AL askan conditions but the fact that the ostnelli- gencer took it so seriously that it wrote editorial the subject and then failed to print a letter calling its attention to it's unairness, is responsible for this brief attention.

THE LEAGUE AMENDMENTS

Attorney Palmer, speaking at Savannah, said that most of the reservations to the treaty meaningless and high sounding political buncome. Of course he is right. President Wilson meant that when he said if the Senate wanted to rewrite the limitations of the Constitution in the peace treaty to make it sound better there was objection on his part. Senator Borah, the most rreconclable of the irreconcables, admitted that President Wilson right this point and justified the contention of the Attorney General when he poked fun at most of the amendments they came up, saying that they did not change the treaty in the least He said he voted for them just because they amendments, and he purposed to vote for all of the amendment and then against the treaty And he did.
 Really, the amendment to Article X, about the only that effected the meaning of the treaty and that practically made 1t meaningless

Judge Gerard was only partly right the other day when he said at the New York Jefferson Day that the Hoover movement in the United States was simply protest against political machine control of the country.
