file a return. There shall be included
in the return a statement which viii
enable the commissioner of internal
revenue to determine the portion of
the earnings or profits taxable or
nontaXable) accumulated during the
taxable year for which the return is
made, which have been distributed or
ordered to be distributed to its stock
holders during such year.
A new and important provision of
the revenue act of 1921 is that where
a corporation Is formed or availed to
prevent the imposition of a surtax
upon its stockholders by permitting its
profits to accumulate instead of being
distributed as dividends, it may be
subject to a tax of % per cent in ad-
dition to the normal tax OF 10 per cent
imposed on corporations. The stock
holders, however, may agree with the
commissioner Of internal revenue that
the profits of the corporation shall be
charged to them in the same manner
as the distributive share Of the part
ners, and pay the tax as partners
When the corporation is a mere hold
ing company or its profits accumulate
beyond the normal needs Of its busl-
ness, this shall be primA facie evidence
OF a purpose to escape the surtax. A
reasonable accumulation of surplus,
however, is permitted.
Returns must be filed with the col
lector Of internal revenue for the dis
trict in which the corporations princi-
pal place Of business is located. Cor
porations must file their returns on
the basis Of their existing accounting
period, which is established as the
12-month period ending on December
81 or upon the last day Of some month
other than December. A corporation
cannot change its accounting period
without the permission Of the COM
missioner.

THE LINCOLN HARDING TWINS.

Lincoln was the great partisan"
declared President Harding in his
speech favoring the return of the con-
vention system and consequent re-
pudiation of the direct primary system,
but the president did not explain the
partisanship Of Lincoln in having a
stalwart democrat in his cabinet as
secretary Of war and another democrat
in command OF the army and host of
democratic mai generals fighting
the nations battles in the field. In fact,
the only major general on the union
side who never lost a battle was a
democrat. Furthermore, Lincoln him
self has frequently been characterized
as Jeffersonian democrat.
BY declaring Lincoln to be a great
partisan, and then declaring himself a
partisan, President Harding easily
places himself in the Lincoln class.
Two days after the President Lin
coin day speech first term congress-
man-what they call over in New York
a Chicken Congressman" elevated
President Harding into both the Lin
coin and George Washington class. He
drew the parallel with Lincoln by tell
ing how Lincoln was nominated late
at night in a Chicago hotel just the
same as Harding. which makes it per-
fectly plain that they are the same
type of statesmen. Mr. Chalmers, the
congressional eulogist, with serious
ness excusable in a newcomer, de-
ciared: II said in opening that I high
ly respected and honored the father
of his country, Washington; the savior
of our country, Lincoln; and Harding,
the savior of the world
Whereupon, the house defeated the
bill to make Lincoln's birthday legal
holiday in the District of Columbia,
and not even the most ardent worship
per Of the immortal Lincoln could find
It in his heart to blame them.
