THE NEW WORD

Allan Upward once wrote re-
markabe book called The New
Word That word, as the reader
earned somewhere near the back
cover OF the book, was "idealism."
Materialism as living faith was
doomed. Nobel had struck boldly
for idealsm in offering his yrizes
for conspicuous achievement, and
the whole process of civilization
was swinging toward the ideal.
There came another word, eff
cheney" which seemed to hold the
field for awhile.
Now there is still another new
word 1t is heard on every side
1t is on almost every tongue. 1t
might be called the motto OF the
present day, or at least the des-
tined motto OF tomorrow. People
are just beginning to realize it con-
sciously.
1t is "co-operation.' Md it really
seems TO combine the best sense OF
each OF the others. 1t is seen as
idealistic, in so far as it means the
getting together OF nations and
classes and individuals for the pro-
motion OF their common welfare
along many lines. The efforts at
international organization and dis
armament are good illustrations. 1t
is seen by the hopeful as replacing
the fruitless warfare of nations and
industrial groups. 1t is aso grasped
at by those who profess nothing
further than desire for teamwork
in business because that is "the
best way to get things done" The
most notable efforts in this direc-
ton, perhaps, are those OF the
American farmers, who never be-
fore have worked together for a
common purpose. y
This may be the great pioneer
year OF cooperation. Look out for
it. Any man or nation that insists
on going it alone may get left.

AUTOMOBILES AS PEACEMAKERS

BARNUM WAS RIGHT

High finance now is performing
some OF its most interesting tricks
of magic since P. T. Barnum dis
covered America.
Big stock dividends are being de-
clared. They involve millions and
hundreds OF millions-sums so big
that on every hand people are say
ing, whats the dope on this stock
dividend stuff? What's it all about,
anyway
A stock dividend is nothing more
than a clever piece OF bookkeeping
sleight- of-hand.
1t works like this: Suppose a
CORPORATION has total OF 500 OF
common stock, or which it pays a
dividend OF 20 per cent, or SO a
year.
Piled up in the bank it has sur
plus. or accumulated profits, OF
$500. If this $400 were distributed
as a bonus or additional dividend to
stockholders, the government would
consider it part OF the income OF
stockholders who got it, and they d
have to pay income tax on it.
Bookkeepers to the rescue! In
stead of paying out the S4Oo as
cash dividends, stock dividend OF
s4OO is declared. So the stockhold-
ers. formerly owning 500 OF stock,
now own $500. And the supreme
court has ruled that stock divl-
dend is not taxable as income. The
oretically, of course, they've owned
it all along.
The imaginary corporation, which
we are discussing, has $40 a year to
distribute to stockholders. After
getting the big stock dividend,
stockholders continue receiving this
so. The only difference is that
they are earning per cent on $500
of stock instead OF 20 per cent on
their original 500 OF stock.
OF course, the corporation can
set out to make 20 per cent on its
new stock valuation, which would
make dividends 500 instead OF the
former $50.
Distribution OF a stock dividend
IS matter OF bookkeeping. The
money doesn't leave the corpora
lion, It's merely transferred on the
books, from one pocket to another
The corporation gives it away, and
still has it. although some one who
never studied the high art OF mod
ern bookkeeping started a saying
about inability 10 eat cake and
still have il.
With the distribution OF stock
dividend, the S400 OF accumulated
profits becomes part of the working
capital, where previously it was
surplus.
This is a protection against pos
sible developments. There's a ru-
NOR in Wall Street that Uncle Sam
may put tax on undistributed
profits. So the undistributed prof
It's dodge BY hopping over TO an
other page OF the books and say
ing. I'm capital now, not surplus.
All OF which, OF course, involves
an imaginary corporation, not any
particular business. II merely H.

motive. behind some stock diyi-
lends.
