WASHINGTON, March 1S.-As
soon as the Supreme Court rendered
lts decision that stock dividends are
not taxnble as income, and thereby
cut on from the visible and pros
pective sources OF the Government
half billion dollars or more, the
taxation office began 10 cast about
for methods OF imposing new taxation
TO bring in the amount eliminated
by the court decree. Every plan put
forth by a Goverpment official 80

Is already ourdened beyond the limit.
Nobody within the Government
thought of collecting the necessary
additional taxes from the people who
were absolved from taxation by the
Supreme Court. Nevertheless. they
can be reached and The Evening

The Government can tax stock

Immediate income 10 offset the losses
aocruing from the Supreme Court
decision. In the judgment OF lawyers,
- whom / submitted 1t last night, It
will go before the Supreme Court II
II is tested, with all the prestige and
force Of an act which has been, in a
case closely measuring UP to the pres
ent emergency, held constitutional.
In the first place, II should be un-
derstood that the Supreme Court de-
cision eXempting stock dividends
from taxation dealt a severe blow TO
the income OF the Government. Some
Treasury Department authorities hold
that the total loss Of revenue and
refund will not amount to more than
$3.50, 900 900, because the Government
will not have to repay taxes to per-
sons who have sold their certificates
obtained as stock dividends. This
opinion Is not shared By constitu-
tional lawyers in Washington.
They maintain that IL the dividend
itself, in the form Of stock. cannot
be taxed as income, the proceeds
OF that dividend cannot be taxed as
income, inasmuch as II is a return
on capital already possessed; there
fore, the cost to the Government of
the Supreme Court decision is sub
ject TO no rebate, whatever, and will
run 20 at least $500, ,OOO, 900 and may
go to 700.000,000. The need of funds

IcLEANINe UP THE 5oLsHEVIK
TERRITORY.

After referring to the necessity for
the production and collection OF food
supplies, Trotzky says:
Spring is coming. This is the sea-
son OF agricultural work. AS the
productive force of our factories has
lessened, the number OF new farm
implements which can be delivered
has become insufficient The revolu-
tionary labor army will employ it's
workshops as well as its workmen in
order to repair such tools and ma
chinery as are needed. When the
season arrives for work in the fields,
the Red Cavalry and Infantry will
prove that they know how 20 plough
the earth"
The results are already beginning
TO show in cleaning up the territory
controlled by the BolshevilSi. Con-
ditions in Petrograd especially have
been improved.
To conscription can be attributed
an increase OF 80 per cent in the
labor force available for the Bolshe-
vik Government, With conscription
goes intensive education. In Moscow.
a campaign has been begun against
illteracy. The BolshevilS leaders
have raised the slogan 'illiteracy is
the worst legacy OF autocracy."
After certain dates no illiterates will
be allowed in the membership of
trade unions. They must learn to
read and write, though they will be
paid for the time spent in studying
From the consc-iption process, the
supreme committee in charge states
that this years requirements neces-
state the enrolment OF 100000 quail
fled laborors and more than 2,0O0,-
900 unskilled laborers. Individuals
must be ready to proceed at any place
and at any time, just the same as the
selective draft law was operated by
the United States in time OF war.
All persons between the ages OF IS
and so have been required to register
for work. Out of the total number,
mechanics and workmen, familiar
with the production o-of equipment

Of national property. Conscientious

peasants should be in the first rank.
Their bravery and devotion should
serve as an example to others and in
splre them to act similarly"
The Bolshevik experiment stlll con-
tinues. But the latest information
from inside the revolution torn coun-
try shows that it Is not the Russia OF
