DIVIDENDS AND X

One reason advanced for the distribution of
lotandard Oil surplus in the form of stock dividends
Ils that this step will enable the stockholders to
levadc the taxes which may be levied, on the individ-
iual surplus of corporations. The supreme court
has already ruled that stock dividends are not sub
[]ect to taxation as other personal dividends are, SO
THAT if the wealth that has been stored up in the
form. of surplus is changed into the form Of addi-
ft'onal stock, no tax can be collected on it under the
income tax law. 1t is noted that the National Bis
cult company is about-to distribute a large part of
tits surplus in the form of stock dividends, and it
may be presumed that this is for the same purpose.
Shares of stock and the property of corpora
tons, whether in money or other forms, are taxable
i'm accordance with their property value. But in
comes are progressively taxed, large incomes being
taxed at a%Hhigher rate than small incomes. If a
mans personal income, if all actually received,
would subject him to one of the higher rates of tax
lation, it is obviously to his interest, if he can find a
means of doing SO. to permit part of the income to
tremain unsolicited, so long as he does not need to
use it and it is secure. If he owns shares in a cor
poration it may pay him and his associates to leave
fithe surplus earnings of their business undivided,
because the money does not become their personal
income until they have received it. But if congress
should provide for such a tax as would deprive this
form OF investment OF this advantage, the step now
being taken is the obvious expedient.
The theory on which the stock dividend is held
exempt is that a stock dividend has only a paper
value. 1t may be worth many times it's face. or it
may be worth nothing at all. Its value may Auctu-
ate with the prosperity of the business which it
represents, and it is held that ultimately the divi-
dend itself and its earnings must be realized on and
thus become subject to taxation as income. The
treasury department, in making its argument
exemption, maintained that if the exemp-
Htion were granted, wealthy men would have an in
I%centive to receive dividends perhaps for several
wears in stock instead of cash, taking advantage ul-
Ultimately Of a lower rate of taxation and gaining
substantial sums by waiting.
