INCOME TAX
ON DIVIDENDS
Supreme Court Holds Revenue Law
uncon stitutional Where 1t Levys
on Stock Divid-
ends

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service,l
WASHINGTON, Mar S.-The su.
preme court today held demonstrations
al the section Of the 1916 revenue law
providing for the levying of an in
come tax on stock dividends
The opinion read by Justice Pitney
declared that the 1916 law disagreed
with the sixteenth amendment, pro-
Iyiding for federal income taxes. The
court held stock dividends are capital
account.
Stock dividends are nothing more
than book adjustment and represent
the increased value of a corporations
stock because of increased earnings"
Pitney said.
Stock dividends show q company's
earnings have been capitalized instead
of divided. They still remain property
in the hands Of the company and the
stakeholder receives nothing which
may be regarded as incomes.
1T is argued that the stock diyfd-
ends may be sold, but that is not the
question. The question is what is
stock dividend, and we hold it is CAPT
tai and that it does not make any diff
ference whether the stock dividend, is
saleable."
Inc OCCASION is OF IdT TedCuluS ILL
|portance because of the large amount
of stock dividends that have been is.
sued during the last years most OF
which were for the alleged purpose OF
levading the federal income tixes.
The majority opinion said in part:
"A stock dividend shows that the
company's accumulated profits have
been capitalized, instead Of distribut-
ed to the stock holders or retained as
surplus available for distribution In
money or in kind should opportunity
offer. Far from being a. realization OF
profits Of the stock holders, it tends
rather to postpone such realization, in
that the fund represented by the new
stock has been transfrrd from surplus
to capital and no longer is available
for actual distribution.
THE essential and controlling fact
is that the stock holder has receiv-
ed nothing out Of the company's as
|sets for his separate use and benefit:
on the contrary, every dollar of his
original investment, together with
whatever accretions and accumula-
lions have resulted from employment
of his money and that Of the other
stock holders in the business of the
company, still remains the property
Of the company and subject to bust
ness risks"

AUTOCRACY
AND UNREST
Deems, In Speech at T. P. A. Ban
quet, Tells Travelling Sales
men That There Is a
Legal Way.

MARSHALLTOWN. Ia, March S.
A gospel to carry all over the state,
to aid in remedying some OF the eco
nomic evils prevalent since the
world war, was given several hun
dred travelling statesmen by }. r.
Deems at banquet al. which the
candidate for governor and other
prominent business men were guests
Of the T. p. A. In making the prin
cipal speech Of the occasion, Deems
said earnestly that the way out is
the legal way of laws regulating in
dustrial disputes as we have laws
regulating other disputes, fair to all
and doing justice to all, wnlch pro-
tect the public as a party in interest,".
OF present conditions, he said:
Economic and social unrest ana
turmoil are the chief characteristics
Of the period into which we have
been ushered by the war. The foun-
tains of the great deep of human
poise and human stability are broken
up, and the uproar occasioned there
by is something heretofore unknown
in the history of the human race,
and it seems to have stampeded
large percentage of those who were
hitherto conservative, clear-thlnklns
people
"These influences have slowed
down production to a point where
there is an absolute shortage of food,
fuel and housing. A stage has now
been reached where the production
of the necessities of life are quite be-
low the normal needs Of the nation,
and. as was said recently by Mr..
Hoover, the world is face to face with
condition where it must either
work or starve. The man who today
demands six hours a day and five
days in the week as maximum OF
work is bordering very close TO
treason"
Deems coupled capitalists and Ia
Dor organizations in the same SEN
tence as he denounced any autocracy
in this country that would paralyze
production or transportation, saying:
"Autocracy is confined to no coun-
try or class. History proves abund-
antIy that, given potential power, any
class will assume and apply auto
cratic methods, even though such
power was conferred on the class
for the most meritorious and praise
worthy reasons in the past. once
inocculated with this vicious virus,
they will not surrender until suffer
ing humanity smites them hip and

connection utmost bears no relation
to convenience. If panic may properly
be used to describe the condition OF
last November and December, famine
