BEST PART OF FLORIDA

Mr. l.. F. Foulk, who with his wife
spent about two months here, having
rooms at Judge Eppsyrucker's writes
Judge Tucker the follows:

My wife could not stand the altitude

get out of that place. We went to

LET'S GO

Put one hundred men on an island
where fish is the staple article of sus
tenance. Twenty-Five of the mer
catch fish. twenty-five others clean
the fish. Twenty-Five cook the fish.
Twenty-Five hunt fruit and vegetables
The entire company eat what thus is
gathered and prepared.
So long as everybody works there
is plenty. All hands are happy.
Ten of the allotted fish catchers stop
catching fish.
Ten more dry and hide part of the
fish they catch
Five continue to catch fish, bur
work only part of the day at it.
Fewer fish go into the community
kitchen.
But the same number of men in
sist upon having the same amount
OF fish to eat as they had before.
The fifty men who formerly cleaned
ard cooked the fish have less to do
owing to the undersupply of fish.
But they continue to demand food.
Gradually greater burdens are laid
upon the fruit aud vegetable hunt,
ers. These insist upon a larger share
OF fish in return for their larger Ell
forts in gathering fruit and vege-
tables. It is denied chem and soon
twenty of the twenty five quit gath
ering fruit and vegetables.
But the entire one hundred men
continue to insist upon the right to
eat.
The daily food supply gradually
shrinks. The men with two fish de-
mands three bananas in exchange for
one of them. The man with two ba-
nanas refuses to part with one for
fewer than three fish.
FINALLY the ten men remaining at
work quit in disgust. Everybody con-
tinues to eat. The hidden fish are
brought to light and consumed
Comes a day when there is no food
OF any kind. Everybody on the island
blames everybody else.
What would seem to be the solu-
ton? Exactly! We thought YOU would
guess It.

A good many fits are being thrown
about what shall be done for the for
mer service men. We do not think
anything the country can do for them
Is too much, but the service men we
know are not asking anything kept

Their modesty and moderation is an
example that might well be emulated
by those who stayed at home and
worked for exorhtant wages while
the soldiers we've risking' their lives
at $50 a month. That is the class
that has been raising all this Hades
since the close Of the war. The ex-
service men have had mighty little

tions that have vexed the country and

the people generally to live.

NOT ALL VELVET

NOT ALL VELVET
 A tremendous amount of new stock has been created and bestowed upon a willing set of stock holders by various corporations sirce the recent decision of the supreme court holding that stock dividends were not taxable. The joyous excitement among the re- eipients of these bounties seems, how ever, hardly to be justified when one sits down and analyses the economics of such distributions.
 The issue of new stock by a cor poration, unless such stock is sold for cash, cannot add dollar to property value and earning capacity, cash on hand, or any other form of equity To give a stockho1der two shares of new stock for one share of old is merely trading paper for paper. If a man owns $100,O00 of the stock of a corporation capitalized at $1,000,0 900 he owns one-tenth of the equities If the capitalization is doubled and the new stock distributed he owns $200, e0e out of a total capitalization of $2,000,000, which is still one-tenth As nothing has in anyway added to the property, cash or earning capacity of his new holdings, they have exactly the same value as before Nor is there any advantage for this stock holder so far as the market value is concerned If he owns 100 shares of a stock quoted at 100 and receives two shares for one the quoted price will lative change in price, he can realize no more for the two shares of new stock than for the one share of old In a word, it is utterly impossible to add nothing to two and get four as a result. The equities which are capi- talized belonged to the stock holder at all times and are not increased by a process of bookkeeping It ap- pears truly remarkable that this de-
 
 when we reflect that the very basis on which the court reached it's find ings is that nothing was gained If this had not been the case, stock div idends would surely have been taxed.
 The only contention regarding these stock dividends which has any merit whatever is that the corporation may continue to pay the same dividend on a large amount of stock. This may be answered in two ways. First, that exactly the same thing might have been accomplished by increas- ing the dividend on the old stock and, second, that whether or not dividends can be maintained on a larger vol ume of shares is wholly a question of future earning capacity and profits.
