STOCK DIVIDENDS NOT
SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX

We always try to be fair and
just in our criticisms; we hope
we are mistaken, but in our opin-
ion the supreme court of the I'm
tied States handed down a decis-
ion on March 9th which would be
discreditable even in justice
court. The court held that if
stockholder received his divi-
dends in the form of stock instead
of money, that it did not become
part of his income, and was not
subject to the income tax, and if
he afterwards sold his stock only
the profits he made on the sale
became a part of his income. In
other words, if the stockholder re-
ceived his dividends in money,
then it would all be a part of his
income, but if he received his div
idends in stock and then sold the
stock, the proceeds of the sale
would not be income, but only the
profits he made on the sale would
be subject to the income tax. 1t
follows then that if he sold the
stock at the same price at which
he received it, he would make no
profit, would have no income, and
would pay no tax. But we will
quote from the decision: at is
said that the stockholder may sell
the new stock acquired by the
stock dividend, and so he may if
he can find a buyer. 1t is equally
true that if he does sell and in do
ing so realizes any profit, such
profit like any other is income"
In another part of the decision
the court contends that if an in
come tax was collected upon divi-
dend stock, the stockholder, un-
less he had other resources, would
have nothing to pay it with. If
he had no other resources he
would have to sell some of it to
live, how would it do to have him
sell little more of it and pay his
income tax?
Under this decision millions of
dollars will have to be refunded
to wealthy stockholders for in
come taxes which they have paid
since 1916.
Men who are increasing their
wealth by the millions each year
will organize their companies and
