COURT DECISION AIDS PR0F|TEERS:
Dividend PLAN EVADES TAXES

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-A s:ate-
ment by the United States treasury
department for Congressman Oidfield
shows that more than $1,500,000 war
profits. have been protected from tax
attion since March, last year, by issu-
ing stocks dividends in this amount.
Last year the United States supreme
court declared the tax on stock divi-
dends is invalid, and Congressman
Oldfield insisted that new legislation
be prepared that would reach these
tax dodgers. The house ignored the.
request when if passed the new tax
bill.
He said 20 per cent tax would net
the government $30O,0O0,000 a year,
and would reach those most able to
bear it.
Take the Crane company" he
said, (which issueed 200 per cent stock
dividends; take the North Texas oil
company, which issued'a 500 per cent
dividends; take the Franklin Yarn
company, which issued 1000 per
cent stock dividend. The STANDARD
Oil company Of Nebraska, just Il few
days ago, issued 200 per cent divi-
dend.
Y ou do not tax them because the
tax would fall upon those who are
most able to bear the burden of tax
alton to run the government and ray
the war debt.
The claim is made that the ex-
cess profits tax retards business and
should therefore be REPEALED. Then,
on the other hand. they argue that
not only the excess profits tax is added
and passed on to the consumer, but
in many cases more than the tax is
passed on to the consumer, thereby
contributing to the high cost of living.
These two statements are not con-
slstent and show how ridiculous some
witness become when they are maxi
cay sort of argument that they think
M " be necessary to shift the burden
OF taxation to the shoulders of the
other fellow.
The price level Of commodities in
this country increased 81 per cent
before any excess profits was even
discussed in this country, and a further
raise of Is per cent additional before
the law was placed on the Statute
DOCKS, hence it seems to me that these
Facts alone dispose of the argument
that these taxes have been passed on
10 the consumer aand have been re-
sponslble for the high cost Of living
in this country.
If these corporation could rass
these taxes on to the consumer at this
time, they would not be here asking
for the repeal Of this law.
The profits of all the corporations
OF this country had never exceeded
$4'O00,OOO before 1913. For the year
1917 these profits reached astound-
ing figure of $10,500,OOO 900. Fog the

'Under the constitutions the citizens

"Should the United States interfere

the responsibility falls on Washington.
There will be no end to the trouble

when the miners raise against

Yet the second has led to the first
