THE STOCK DIVIDENDS.

There is no blinking the widespread
indignation aroused by the bumper crop
of stock dividends distributed lately by
corporations
The public has not been much dis
posed to criticize the supreme court for
declaring such dividends not subject to
the income tax; the court is presumed
to have had sufficient legal reasons for
that decision. But morally. if not Ie-
galiy, the smaller taxpayers on whom
an increasing burden falls. seem to con-
slider the immunity of these accumula-
tons as indefensibe and a grievance
wrong against them.
Here are surplus profits, they argue,
which normally would have been distrib-
uted as cash dividends, but which were
withheld in order to evade the excess
profits tax, as long as that tax was in
force, and withheld further until they
were pronounced free from the income
tax. They are now distributed without
paying the government any tax what
ever, when the incomes Of less prosper
Gus corporations and citizens are taxed
with grim certainty
\ large part of these profits the crit
les insist. properly belongs to the gov
eminent Instead of going to the gov
eminent it becomes new fixed capital.
"hich in turn will be held To Justify
normal earnings and become Il sort OF
fixed charge against the consuming pub
lie, without doing the government any
good. No adequate answer seems to
have been given 10 this criticism.
II may be nothing can be done about
that. It is being urged. however. that
the existing law provides for tax of
20 per cent on the net increase Of corpo-
rations which accumulate profits be
yond the reasonable needs of business
and that this law may apply to the ac-
cumulations in question. Here is at
least a possibility worth exploring.

THE 100 PER CENT CHRISTMAS.

Christmas plans are we'll under way
in family and community. 1t is beauti-
full and encouraging to note how many
of them are based on the determination
that the unfortunate shall share with
the fortunate.
The world has been through so much
unhappiness in the last few years, and
even now there is so much that is dis
turbing on every hand, that there is the
greater reason for making Christmas
unanimous and seeing that no heart goes
untouched by happiness. But this is
something which must be worked out and
planned for 1t cannot be done in a day
The time intervening between now
and December % is short Civic and
private charitable organizations will take
care of the very poor and of the people
in the public institutions. But between
these shorn lambs and those to whom
pleasant Christmas comes easily there is
