Senator Reed smoot has the sound
est economic sense in Congress. He
is as frank of speech as he is clear
of brain. He denounces unsparingly
the miserable tax measure which
Congress threatens TO inhict upon the
country. Yet Senator Smoot says he
will vote for the tax bill. although
'it is not much better than the exist
ing tax law"
But the American people did no
elect this Congress to give the coun-
try a tax measure not much better
than the existing law. They elected
1t to pass a tax bill very much better
immeasurably better. than the Law
they now have. Nothing less thar
this could fulfil the campaign pledge
of the Republican candidates and Tho
Republican platform. Nothing les.
could satisfy the voters OF the United
States who believed and supported
those candidates
The thing for Senators and Rep
resentatives of the capacity and char
acter of Reed. Smoot to do is not t
vote for a tax bill so thoroughly ba'
as this measure is. The thing fo
them to do is to defeat II II they can
and IL they cannot to deliver thei
votes against it just the same il
righteous protest against the de
fault on election pledges and the be
trayal OF the public which truste
them.

From the brief summary given Of
the Supreme Court decisions in the
Ohio oil Company and Prairie oil
and Gas Company stock dividend
cases. there appe.rs to be little
ground for taxpayers to share with
Treasury officials the reported be-
lief that these decisions will go far
toward unravelling many perplexing
questions arising in stock dividend
controversies. Stock dividends al
ways we're an uncertain quantity,
because II required fine discrimina-
ton and expert Judgment to tell
whether the now shares handed out
gratis were actualls' worth some
thing. in addition to the stock all
ready issued. or we're merely paper
multiples OF no value except that
derived by subtraction from the
shares already outstanding.
But the income tax law added
complications to this already dihi-
cult problem. Before 1913 a stock
/ dividend, in any case. could not be
anything more cumbersome than a
piece OF paper. But with the ad-
vent OF the income TAX TINS paper
took on the new and worrisome at
tribute OF being taxable. For a
time the sky seemed TO be clear OF
this stock dividend tax cloud. he
cause in previous decision the
Supreme Court ruled stock dividends
were not taxable. How Il arrived
at different conclusion in the pres
ent instance Is made clear in that
part Of the decision which

A Tax Bill to Be Defeated
(Fron the New York Herald.)

II an honest and a sound tax ACT

after all that the American people
were led to expect from It when they
we're casting their national oallos
Il were better by far to let Claude
Kitchin's war makeshift stand, bad
as il is and great az the harm II mas

better, shall be willing or shall De
compelled to make good on then

To put through the tax monstroetty
which is now so near enactment
would be a worse thing for the coun-
try than the existing law, because IN
the very nature OF things It would
stay longer on the statutes than any
Republican Congress could have the
face to let the Kitchin law remain
there. The chances wound be for
greatly improved tax bill on later
trial of the Republicans to live up GO
their promises OF the campaign OF
1920. Anyhow it could not be worse
bill than the one Congress is now

Stock Dividend Cases
(From tho New York Herald).

critics were not. The distri-
button constituted in the case
OF each Individual a gain in the
form OF actual exchangeable
assets. II was in substance
and effect. not merely in form,
a dividend OF profits by the cor
poraticn and individual income
to the stockholders"
The Court does not rule that the
stock dividend must be sold and a
profit realized on the proceeds above
the cost OF the original stock before
the income tax can be levied. In
the previous decision. which made
certain stock dividends exempt, from
the income tax. this condition was
appended. The tax was paid only
when there was a profit realized by
the sale OF the new stock.
The point OF difference appears TO
lie in the fact that in the present
case OF the oil company dividends a
angible and readily calculable ad-
dition OF value was handed to stock
holders. and the income tax is pay
able on the same theory as an in
heritance tax is payable when values
pass to legatees. even n the values
are not sold and the proceeds real
lied in actual cash
Even with this fairly distinct point
OF difference between the two classes
Of stock dividends the problem OF
whether a stock dividend represents
an addition OF value or merely a
splitting up OF values representing
by original shares still remains.
This question can be settled only by
separate consideration in each in
dividual case.
One OF the needs OF our income
tax laws Is for Congress to define
specifically what Is income and what
is capital Much litigation could
thus be avoided. -
