Prof. Shoupe is live wire, hard

BIG PROFITS ESCAPE
No Tax OH Stock Dividends,
Says Supreme Court

New York.-Because the United
States supreme court has ruled that
stock dividends are not taxable under
the income tax law the government
will have to return millions of dollars
received during the last three years
as taxes on these holdings.
In non-technical terms, a stock
dividend is a receipt. If a concern
is capitalized at 100000 and makes
a 20 per cent profit, it would, for IL
lustration, pay z per cent dividend
and place the remaining 13 per cent in
what is known as surplus fund" !"
In eight years, if this proportion is
maintained, the surplus will total
100000, outside of the 100000 capi-
tai stock
If this surplus were divided among
notwithstanding this concern
is representative of all industry-it
would mean a bulging treasury for
Uncle Sam, under the operation of the
income tax law. Instead of dividing
the $104,000 the company issues stock
dividends against this amount. A
stockholder will now have two shares
of stock where he previously owned
one. If the same rate of interest pre-
walls the stockholder will receive 31a
per cent dividend and will be in the
same position as when he received z
per cent, while the profits, formerly
called surplus" are placed in the
capital account and escape the tax
collector.
The decision will make it possible
to hide excessive profits by dribbling
it through large stock issues. This is
illustrated in the case of well-known
motor car company which issued three
times the original amount of stock
held last year, and is now paying a
10 per cent dividend. While taxes
must be paid on the total income re-
ceiyed by a stockholder, a 10 per cent
dividend is less formidable and is less

GENERAL STRIKE
PLAN
Rejected in British Trades
Union Congress

London, England-By a three-to-
one vote the British Trades Union
Congress has rejected the general
strike to force the government to ma
tionalize the coal mines.
Several months ago a commission
appointed by the government declared
for naturalization, but now the gov
ernment favors a system of control
under private ownership.
At the regular convention of the
Trades Union Congress, last fall, ma
tionalization was declared for and it
was agreed that if the government
refused special meeting of the con-
gress would devise methods to en-
force government ownership.
The miners have led the fight for
naturalization and favored a general
strike. To get a clear cut issue two
motions were submitted to the special
meeting of the Trades Union Congress
and the card vote resulted as follows:
For political action in the form of
intensive propaganda in preparation
for the general election: 3,732, 900;
against, 1,015,O0o; majority, 100000.
For trade union action in the form
of a general strike, 100000; against,
3,370,000; majority, 2,820,000
In support of the general strike the
miners said the government has trick
ed them, as it promised to abide by
the coal commissions decision. Oppo-
nents of the general strike did not de-
fend the government, but differed with
the miners on tactics. One Of the
