WOULD TAX PRIVILEGE
OF STOCK DIVIDENDS

Washington, March H.--Representa-
tive w. X. Green of Iowa will urge a
graduated tax on the privilege of issu.
on stock dividends, held unconstitution.
al by the United States Supreme Court.
The Ways and /eans Committee is TO
meet Monday to consider new taxes for
the losses sustained in the recent deeis-
ion, which NOT only eliminated the stock
dividend but annulied the tax on por-
onal service corporations.
In the opinion OF Mr.. Green, Cen
.srcns has the power to-levy tax on the
rivitcRe OF issuing stock dividends, and
',u make his tax sufficiently high to
obtain enough money from that source
% make mp the losses in the Tux on stock
livdonds. He believes there is no
question about the ccnstitut;onaiity OF
ais proposed tax, viii Ia ne would have
;.ad.d according to the market value
of tho stock.
White the proposal might remedy the
ituticn in the future, hIr. Green does
:iot know what system o. taxation can
&c tevi. ed to make up for th2 iosses
rom stock diyiGgndS this year and the
losses in rcimbwsing taxpayers for
mounts paid ON stock dividends under
protest in 1917 and 1918
The refund and losses will not rcacl.
he amount originally estimated Ac-
urdng to revised estimates sent Chair
man Fordney of the Ways and Means
Committee by the Treasury today, tac
total loss to the Government Will be
lightly over $lOG,00e.OO0
The Controller of the Currency csti-
mates that the refunds for the years
1917 and 1918 will amount to 5000.
100 for each year, or total of $40 ,0OO..
900. The loss for 1919 viii! exceed
either of these years, but the total of
the three years, including the refund
md the taxes that would have accrued
from stock dividends in 1919, will not
greatly exceed $l00.OOO.oOO.
There is great probability that the
Ways and Means Committee will do
nothing Immediately in the way of find
ing another source of taxation, but will
tilow the matter To rest until the rcve.
nue. laws arc revised generally in the
NEXT session of Congress. However, il
will be necessary TO place n fiat tax on
personal service corporations without de.
ny, so that these taxes shall not be lost.

DO YOU WANT YOURS
40 Acres Oil, Ga. and
Minera: Lease-Pernits
on University and School
Lands in Texas.

~ The very last chance you will
ever have. There is no more
land being created. There is no
more oil being deposited. But
Texas has a bountiful supply for
all who have the nerve to try.
am determined that my friends
and hackers shall have the
greatest chance for real wealth
that ever came to so many peo-
pie through the efforts of one
man.
There is no other way on
earth by which this opportunity
to distribute 100000 acres of
Texas Oil and gas lease permits
on school lands could have ever
come into my hands except be-
cause my friends have enabled
me to climb to a strong position
as an oil developer and reflner.
This confidence Is due to the
tangible results Of my eff5rts
along constructive development
lines in a few short months.
So, if | can turn 40 acres of
Texas oil and mineral rights
over to each of 10000 people,
will have given to my friends
the very thing their backing
brought ne.
l do not believe there is an
other nil ortunity like this or
that there ever will be again.

Strange But True

When the American Indian
was pushed back by the white
man, Uncle Sam allowed him to
rest on the then worthless
plains and jungles for his hunt
ing ground, that the Red Mans
white brother nigh till the fer
tile soil. Most of the rich oil
fields of Oklahoma were on the
worthless scrub hills of the In
dian nation. The Texas ranch
owner and farmer left the sage
brush plains and arid hills I'M
touched. The state gave the
refuse to the university and
school system. And again nature
lavishes her wealth where least
expected and the oil, gas and
mineral resources of these
school lands are building for
tunes for those who come and
take them for development, and
now the state, the university and
the public schools are reaping
the fabulous riches the early
settlers pushed aside. This is
one of the strange things where
by nature takes care of her own
and 1t is all very well because
