ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

AS we again approach the 18th Of
February we are conscious Of the fact
that while we are impressed by the great
men of today we are not able to forget
those Of the past, and especially those
who have rendered such signal service
to their country. Lincoln's life is an in
spiration which has served to guide
many in the past and 1t will render like
service even IN the future. He Is one
of the outstanding national leaders who
will ever be identified with its affairs
and one whose example will never cease
to be pointed to and followed.
Some years ago General P. S. Goblin, a
famous Pennsylvania soldier, at a Lin
coin birthday celebration said:
'Lincoln's personality reveals every
attribute OF the highest type of Amerl-
can manhood.
His state papers are read with in
terest and reverence as we !earn the cir
cumstances which produced them. Col
onel Ingersol In his estimate Of Lincoln
ep;tomized his character as the grandest
figure Of the fercest civil war waged in
history.
Thus he stands before us today as
a soldier, citizen and statesman, realiz-
ing the responsibility imposed upon him
as equal to If not greater than that as
stunned by any other man. And every
act Of his life, every thought Of his
heart, was toward the best method OF
preserving the nation and saving the ma
ton.
"No man had a higher regard for
courage than Lincoln. Lincoln always
stood forth as equal to the occa sion and
| a most perfect type Of American man
hood"
That tribute voices the sentiment Of
the country at large. quite the same as
was done when the Rev. DR. Seminar
| said His life is a sermon which IS &c
preFch 10 us that wherein human sue
cess truly consists, and his hallowed
memory IS to be a perennial inspiration
| to develop out possibilities. His name I,
synonym of American democracy. HI
himself was the best truth on which tht
nation rests-upon the confidence in thf

INCOME TAX FACTS
YOU SHOULD KNOW
TAX ON DIVIDENDS

The tax on dividends is an impor-
tant item in the returns of many tax
payers.
dividend" for the purpose of the
income-tax law is any distribution in
cash or property made by a corpora
ton to its stockholders of members
(other than certain dividends of per-
sonal service corporation) out of its
earnings or profits accumulated since
February 2S, 1913 Dividends are tax
able and are taxed at the rates for
the year in which the cash is made
available, regardless of when the earn
ings or profits out of which they were
paid were accumulated. Although in
terest on State bonds and certain 9TH
er obligations is not BILE, when
received by a corporation, upon ANAL
gamation with other funds of the cor
poration and distributed to stockhold-
ers in dividends, it is taxable to the
same extent as other dividends.
A dividend is income to the stock
holder as of the date when the cash
or property is unqualifiedly made sub
/ ject to his demand. Cash dividends,
while exempt from all normal tax, are

i cipient at the surtax rates for the

/ income, but they may be deducted as
credit in computing normal tax.

but since the enactment of that law

I States has held that stock dividends

meaning of the sixteenth amendment
to the Constitution, and are according
| ly not subject to the income tax. The
| revenue act of 1921 specifically pro-
vides that such dividends shall moi
be taxable when paid in good faith
but that If, after the payment of such
a dividend the corporation proceeds tt
cancel or redeem its stock at such time
and in. such manner as to make the
distribution of a taxable dividend. the
amount received in REDEMPTION or can.
