INVESTED CAPITAL
WILL BE EXPLAINED

Washington, Jan. i7.-Arugments
were begun today in the supreme
court in the "invested capital case"
characterized by Solicitor General
Frierson as "the most important
legal suit from the standpoint of
government finances in decade"
Whether the government will be
forced to return hundreds Of mil
lions of dollars paid as income taxes
depends on the outcome.
The immediate cause at issue. be-
fore the court is the appeal Of the
LaBelle Iron works from ruling of
the bureau of internal revenue re-
fusing to allow it to treat as invest
ed capital the value of ore lands
which it had purchased in 1904 for
100000 and which, by 1917, had in
creased to s10,0o0,000. The gov
ernment agents maintained that the
increase in reality was profit" and
should be taxed as such. The COM
pany added the increase to it's capital
invested and claimed the normal de-
duction of Z per cent, paying under
protest the additional tax Of s1,031,-
600.
The question of whether a stock
dividend is taxable arose in a new
form in the present case, the in
creased value Of the ore lands having
been represented on the books Of the
corporation, according to the gov
ernment's brief, since 1912, by
"stock issued as a stock dividend"
The wide interest displayed in. the
case in the business world was il
Illustrated by the number of requests
for permission to appear as "friend2
of the court" Those granted per.
mission to file briefs included the
Long Bell Lumber company of Ka,.
sas City, the National Lumber asso
citation and the Kansas City struc.
tural Steel company.
Increased value of the ore lands i;
comparable to. the, increase which
occurs in the value of herd of cat
tie which, when purchased, included
numberiof calves, the appellant
argued. "Proffsb was defined te
the court as the actual net amount o:
gain made by 4 business between
any two dates. 81.
"The appellants theory is that The
capital invested in its ore lands il
not what it paid for them, but is tc
be measured by the present value Of
the lands" MrCRrierson said, "bul
the governmentS contends on the
ether hand thatethe act clearly de
fines the 'invessed capital as the
amount received in exchange for it:
shares Of stock plus any paid in o.
earned surplus hSsed, in the busi
ness" "a

nisfing proper facilities for the edu-
cation of the children in their vii
lagos.
Mr.. G. G. Sale, the teacher at the
school, made talk and said while
they were proud of the handsome
building it must not be taken for
granted that fine building and fine
equipment made a fine school how
ever necessary and important they
were.
The school is taught by Mr.. and
Mrs. G. G. Sale @nd tine children are
more fortunate than many in some
other schools in having such fine
teachers. And they take such an in
terest in the children. In fact they
love them and the love is recipro-
Gated. The children are bright and
are interested in the school and when
the child loves the teacher and the
teacher loves the child then you can
accomplish something worth while in
the training and education of the
child.
1t was fine meeting and every
one was happy and there is no tell
ing the good this school is doing fo1
the education of the children Of the
community, and it is the best invest,
ment the mill management could
have made even though the regular
taxes are also being paid by the
mill. 1t is really gratifying and
helpful to know the interest all the
mills of the county take in the educa'
tional interests of their communities
The building stands on an emf
nence and is to be beacon to Gght
the whole community and to encour
age others to do likewise. I enjoyed
being with these good people and tt
see the interest they take in the
school. =. =. A.

maria, and there was good attend
ance and it was a pleasure to see the
fine school spirit Of these people, ano
the determination which they have tc
build high school at this place.
They now have three teachers and
some 20 children in the high schoo!
grades, and with proper work there
should be little, difficulty in getting
rs, the number to have the school &C
cepted as a state high school, and
this we intend to do by the opening
of the next session. Mr.. Bedenbaugh
is working hard to accomplish this
and he is being aided by the people
of the community. And the people
of any community can come very
near doing whatever they make up
their minds to do. And their minds
are made up to have high school.
The area of the district is much larg-
er than Little Mountain and the tax
able property very much large-.
They seem to be short on the chill
dren, but somehow you know that a
good school will bring the children
and by making Of this school a cen
.tralized high school and using some
of the adjacent schools as primary
schools there is no reason why we
should not maintain good high
school at this place, and We are go
ing to do it.
I made a talk and so did Mr..
shealy altd the people were very
much interested. I want them to
feel that they have my hearty cooper
alton in the effort they are making,
and I feel satisfied that we will ac-
complish just what they want, and at
the same time help the children OF
the smaller schools around. MY slo-
gan is good high school within
reach of very child in the county
wsishout having to go off to board
ing house to get it. And we are 60
ing to accomplish that very thing.
