The Connecticut labor news., 1922-12-01

According to Congressman Frear Secretary Mellon has Hailed to an swer or explain any of the inquiries heretofore made by me regarding the exaction of tax penalties under Sec ton 22o."
 When a company like Standard Oil has net profit after 10 years of 775 per cent and declares dividend approaching a billion dollars in one year there is admittedly a surplus mot in fact needed in the business" which IS taxable according to the law. Save 60 Per Cent by Stock Dividend
 Device.
 It is interesting to remember that men of wealth like Mr. Rockefeller and MT. Mellon would have to pay to the United States Go per cent of such dividends if paid in cash, but when paid in stock they are not taxable, according to the courts decision. The stock distributed as dividends can of course be sold immediately by the re- cipient and the cash value realized.
 "As you we'll appreciate, MT. Secre- tary," says Congressman Frear, "out of the wealth of/ your exper- fences more financial crimes are com m1lteQ III the name or StOCk QlV1- dends' than by all the tax exempt se- curity transactions which you de- nounce, past, present or future"
 The stock dividend fever" says MT. Frear, encourages tax lodging; it spreads out and furnishes sur pluses for gobbling up small competi- tors and it freezes out the little stock holders of the same company"
 Attention of MT. Mellon is called also to the Internal Revenue Bureaus demand upon Congress for $2,ooo,- GOO, only a fraction of the total amount needed, with which to re- fund taxes rebated in secret to secret companies, or individuals, and wants to know why their names cannot be published. d.
 It is believed that the mad rush to cover earnings into the pockets of wealthy stockholders has been precipi- tated by the pending investigation into the oil business by Congress, an inves- tigation that will include not only the Teapot Dome grab but the methods of money making which prevail throughout the industry.

Wall Street Mad With :,
 Stock Dividend Deals
STANDARD OIL LEAD RUSH
 TO EVADE TAXES ON PROFIT
 ... BEFORE CONGRESS AWAKES
By International Labor News Service

By International Labor News Service
 Washington, D. C., Dec. 1.-Th, plan of the American people to ap enacted into law by Congress, Is be ing defeated by the millionaire group by means of the stock dividend. Bill lions of dollars are manipulated into the cotfers of the moneyed kings o1 the United States that cannot be touched by the Surtax: The Supreme Courts decision and Secretary of the Treasury Mellon's example have caused the biggest tax evasion in the history of the country.
 The Standard Oil group alone H. lustrates the mad rush of wealth to cover before Congress awa<es to the situation and stops the swindle. Ten companies of this group have in the last few weeks distributed $75I, I,Io4, 3II in the form of stock dividends and only $I28,856,373 has been issued in cash, total of $88I ,o6o, ,684. Twen- ty-seven more companies in this group are scheduled to take similar action. The press is predicting stock divi- dends in the next week by the At lantic Refining Co.,, Standard of In- diana, Prairie Oil & Gas and the Prairie Pipe Line. -s
 Standard of Indiana is the company which has practically absorbed the wealth stored in Wyoming oil fields which was recently taken away from the United States through the Teapot Dome oil grab, which has so aroused the country. #
 Old Trick, Encouraged, Now Run
 ming Wild.
 Since the dissolution of the old Standard Oil Co. in 1911 there has been paid to this group $2,38o, 5o3,- 252 in dividends. Before 1922 there was distributed $o24,855,o68 in cash and $28S, 200, GOO in stock. Two amaz- ing facts are revealed by these fig ures.. The first is that distribution of earnings through stock dividends al- though not a new trick, has run wild as result of encouragement by the present administration, especially the example of Secretary Mellon, himself one of the richest men in the United States, whose Gsllf Oil company took the lead in stock dividend distribution. The second fact is that extraordinary earnings are being made by the oil companies in spite of the lower price of gasoline earnings that in 1922 were more than half the earnings of the preceding 10 years. s
 What will Congress do about it?
 Several things are under discussion. !. First of all congressman are har- rassing Secretary Mellon to know why the surplus of company is not taxed, and the tax collected, as con templated by Congress under Section e2o, which reads:
 :''Ifi any corporation is =. availed of for the purpose of preventing the imposition of the surtax upon its members by permitting its profits to accumulate instead of being divided there shall be levied and collected for such taxable year upon the net in come of such corporation a tax equal to 25 per centum in addition to the lax irnnnseds hY Section 22on .------ ---
