Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-10-19
WANTED: statesmen

High finance is performing some of its most interesting
tricks of magic since P. 7. Barnum discovered America
Big stock dividends are being declared. They involve NIL
lions and hundreds of millions-sums so big that on every
hand people are saying, "What's the dope on this stock div
idend stuff? What's it all about, anyway"
A stock dividend is nothing more than a clever piece Of
bookkeeping seightof-hand.
1t works like this: Suppose a corporation has a total o.
500 of common stock, on which it pays d dividend of ~ PEI
cent, or $40 a year.
Piled up in the bank it has surplus, or accumulated profits.
of $400. If this $500 were distributed as q 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! Instead of paying out the
$500 as cash dividends, a stock dividend Of $500 is declared.
So the stockholders, formerly owning 500 of stock, now own
$500. And the Supreme Court has ruled that a stock dividend
is not taxable as income. Theoretically, of course, they've
owed it all along.
The imaginary corporation, which we are discussing, has
500 a year to distribute to stockholders. After getting the
big stock dividend, stockholders continue receiving this $40.
The only difference is that they are earning 4 per cent on
$500 Of stock instead of 20 per cent on their original $loo OIL
stock.
Of course, the corporation can set out to make 20 per
cent on its new stock valuation which would make dividends
800 instead Of the former $40.
Distribution of a stock dividend is a matter of bookkeep-
ing. The money doesn't leave the corporation, 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 modern bookkeeping started
a saying about inability to eat a cake and still have it.
With the distribution of a stock dividend, the $40O OF aa-
cumulated profits becomes part OF the working capHah WHERE
previously it was surplus.
This is a protection against possible developments. There S
a rumor in Wall Street that Uncle Sam may put a tax on un-
distributed profits. So the undistributed profits dodge by
hopping over to another page OF the DOCKS ana saying, l In
capital now, not surplus"
t;on not any particular business. 1t merely illustrates the
effects rather than the motive, behind some stock dlvldends:
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-10-19
THE BIG

The heavy registration in this county for the coming.
election shows that the people are aroused over something
It is rather unusual TO have so many people DESTROYS OF vot-
ing at what is commonly known as an 'of year" 1t is a
good sign. There are some important matters at stake and
it is well to have the people express themselves thereon.
If we were allowed two guesses as to the cause of the
interest being displayed by the voters this year we would say
first that there is a determination to prevent this state be-
ing represented in the United States senate by a man who
has such a record as Governor Edwards has for his three
years at Trenton. To have this record repeated at Wash
ington, where the eyes of the nation would be upon him
would be a disgrace to New Jersey and a reflection on every
citizen of the state.
Our second guess would be that the people are aroused
over the waste of public funds on patented paving materials
and are determined to show their resentment. They can do
this in two ways. They can vote against the $40, 900, 00C
bond issue for the completion of the state highways under
the present regime, and they can vote against the two mem
bers of the present Board of Freeholders who have been so
persistent in awarding contracts for patented pavements
in this county.
An active minority in the Board of Freeholders would
help q lot in keeping down this extravaganza and a defeat
of the SIC, 900, 900 bond issue would be a notice to the State
Highway Commission that the end of patent pavements has
been reached. Perhaps that is what the big registration
means.

@. How many Presidents have
been graduated from West Point?
From which colleges have he great
err number of Presidents been grad

came Presidents.
Q. What percentage of d green
tree Is moisture "A. NJ. L..
A. The Forest Products Labora-
tory says that the moisture in Sif-
ferent green trees or in different
parts of the tree may vary consie,
orally, but as a general average 40
to so per cent of the weight of the
wood in the tree may be water.
@. Who was the first baseball
editor?-W. j.
A. The late ex-senator William
caldwell, editor and proprietor of
the old New York Sunday Mercury,
was the first man to write up and
print anything on baseball. HIS
articles were first published in 1853.
Everything relating to baseball
prior to that time Is merely hearsay.
@ When a man accompanies
two women on the street. what po-
sition should he take?-S. s.
A. He should always walk On
the side next to the highway. The
women should walk side By side
at his left or right, as the case May
be.
@. Why is it that when a rifle is
fred the report is not heard til
after the crash of the bullet hitting
tho target?-P. NJ.
A. This is because the velocity
OF the modern bullet is greater
than that of sound. Sound travels
az the rate of LOO feet per second,
while military rifles drive their bull
lets at speeds of from 1000 to 5000
feet per second.

tries offered demanded enlarged facilities of very sort. To meet these demands re-
rured foresight and ability in nj small mas ue. 1t required cooperation, resources
ad loyalty to home town interests to build business center of the size and strength
we can boast OF today.
The first Historical mention of Perth Amboys shopping district" of the early
DAYS is the reference to Benjamin CErkes Statoners Shop, which was evidently set
up" soon after his arrival here in 1853. James tombstone one of the early settlers, M
to the "good satoners Shop of books at Jew Perth" 1t is presumed thatth the shop
vas in Carkes home which, the records indicate, vas on the south side OF Market
street, nearw Water street. There is also mentioned the General Store" which, for
many years prior to the Revolution, was kept by Stephen Skinner. Probably this store
also was located in the nome of its proprietor which was IN the north side OF smith
street on the property adjoining the Bruen Stores.
In those days the town was conferred directly around the water front Only thirty
years or SO ago Smith street was" paved" with a boardwalk beyond State street and
its greatest lm to prominence was that it led to the Barracks and the baseball lot!
Today Smith and State streets form the backbone of or extensive shopping dis
tict. And tn important business streets leading from it are already trying to rival
this main thoroughfre in Importance. -Four modern department stores, specially shops
food markets. business offices and banks occupy wenyone city blocks and vie with
each other in their efforts to supply Ill that our people desire, from the most simple to
the most xachng requirements.
About thirty years age the old Court House Cow City HaD provided the only
amusement hall and stage in town and a performance of High Henry Mnsues or Me-
Hrrigan brought the whole town forth in gala attire. Now our citizens may cnoose
