Smyrna times., 1922-11-29

During the recent campaign no
doubt thousands of voters were thor
Oughly dissatisfied with the present
system of high taxes. These voters,
in many instances, as a protest, struck
at the party in power. ''The fact that
President Harding and his associates
have worked tooth and nail to cut
down expenses and save money for
the government" says the Morning
News, "was not fully considered by
the dissatisfied. History shows that
the Democrats would bring no meas
ure of relief, but that made no differ
~ence with the protesting voters. And
the Democrats are really responsible
for the high Federal taxes and the
waste and extravaganza that form
erly were rife at the capital. The vo-
ters should not lose interest in taxa
tion and the study of it, but it may
also be hoped that they will be more
discriminating.
"The general tax burden, however,
is Rheavy. According to the Nation
al Industry Conference Board one
sixth of he national income went into
taxes during 1921. And so far this
year the percentage is probably much
higher. The conference declares that
the tax bill in the United States is
fast making inroads on the surplus of
capital necessary for economic pro-
gress and threatens materially to
hamper our growth"
According to the report Great
Britain stands first in the burden Of
taxes, the United States is second and
Germany, France, Italy and Japan
follow in the order named. In other
words the continental European coun-
tries have a less burden of taxation
than has the United States, and yet
those countries do not even pay the
interest on the money they owe the
United States.
Before the war taxes paid to ma
tional, state and local governments in
the United States represented 6 per
cent. of the national income, while
now they represent approximately 16
per cent.-about one-sixth of the ma
tional income. For instance if a per-
son, say, earns $60.a week, that per-
son pays in either indirect or direct
taxes $40 a week. This is a heavy
drain on he national pocketbook, anC
1t should be halted. There are, how.
ever, few indications of serious halt
"The increase in taxation started
of course, with the war. The time,
were "fush," and few, if any, person!
talked much about the reaction or eb
jected to paying heavy taxes. Tn,
money to many concerns came easil!
and they were willing. to let it g
easily. But all this has changed.
"The incomes of the people as
rule have declined materially, bu
they are still forced to pay high take:
Notwithstanding the increase a
pointed out, the advocates of tn
bonus for the former service men ar
waking up, and they will demand

ready been pressed.

Federal Government and thus spent

"The big view stressed that the il

STRIKE AGAINST LOCKOUT

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 15.-One

statement issued by A. A. Gerald,
president of the street car union.
The action was taken at a meeting
of the men to protest the action of
the company in discharging twen-
ty-one employees yesterday.
Discharge of the men, said the
statement issued by Gerald, "can
only be construed as virtual lock-
out of the employees and a desire on
the part OF the company to cease
operation of its street cars.
Employees say they are willing to
submit their grievance to an arbitra-
ton board.

IncOme-tax Facts.

The tax on dividends is an impor-
;ant item in the return of many tax
payers.
A dividend" for the purpose of the
ncome.tax law is any distribution in
ash or property made by corpora
ion to its stockholders or members
other than certain dividends of a
.personal-service corporation) out of
its earnings or profits accumulated
since February 2s, 1913. Dividends
ire taxable and are taxed at the rates
for the year in which the cash is
made available, regardless of when
the earnings or profits out OF which
they were paid were accumulated.
Although interest on State bonds and
certain other obligations is not tax
able. when received by a corporation,
upon amalgamation with other funds
of the corporation and distributed to
stockholders in dividends, II is tan
able to the same extent as other diyi-
bends.
A dividend is income to the stock.
holder as of the date when the cash
or property is unqualifiedly made
subject to his demand. Cash divi-
dends, while exempt from all normal
tax, are taxable income to the in
dividual recipient at the surtax rates
for the year in which received. Ac-
cordingly, dividends must be in
cluded as gross income, but they
may be deducted as a credit in COM
putting normal tax.
Stock Dividends.
The revenue act of 1918 provided
for the taxation OF stock dividends,
but since the enactment of that law
the Supreme Court of the United
States has held that stock dividends
do not constitute income within the
meaning of the Sixteenth Amend.
ment to the Constitution, and are
accordingly not subject to the in
come tax. The revenue act of 1921
specifically provides that such divi'
dends shall not be taxable when paid
in good faith, but that IL, after the
payment of such a dividend, the cor.
poration proceeds to cancel or re-
deem it's stock AT Such time and in
such manner as to make the distri'
button and cancellation or redemp'
ton essentially equivalent to the dis
tribution of a taxable dividend, the
amount received in redemption or

treated as a taxable dividend.
If a dividend is paid in the stock
of some other company, or some
other form of property, the fair value
of the property received Is to be
taken as the value Of the dividend
paid, and such amount is taxable to
an individual receiving it. A corpo'
ration which receives a dividend in
the stock of some other domestic cor
poration may deduct such amount
from it's gross income.

II You Need a Medicine

It is that so many products that are ex-

applies more particularly to a medicine:
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success OF Dr.
