MELLON QU|zzED
ON TAX CASES
Questioned About Penalties
Where Corporations Ac-
cumuIate SurpIuses.

In what cases has the Treasury De-
partment invoked the provisions of
the 1921 revenue law imposing
penalties where corporations allow
surpluses to. accumulate in order to
permit their stockholders to avoid
payment Of high income surtaxes?'
Secretary Mellon is asked to state, in
a letter, from Representative Frear.
republican. of Wisconsin. Il member
Of the ways and means committee
that framed the revenue bill.
The letter constitutes another chap
ter in the correspondence between
the House ways and means committee
member and the Treasury Secretary
with regard to the 400 per cent stock
dividend recently declared by the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey.
Mr.. Mellon has ruled that the penalty
provision could not be made appli-
cable in the case of such stock
dividends.

Quoting from the Lamp. the oah-

paid to stockholders. $222.065. .22s. and
$437.5S0.357 absorbed by the needs
Of the business" Mr.. Frear translates
these figures into percentages as fol-
lows: Net profits, 77h per cent an

annually.
Sees Millions Outstanding.
Mr.. Frear writes that hundreds OF
millions of dollars In penalties and
