Dividend

Prosecuted None Under
Revenu Act.

Declaration of a stock dividend
does not indicate that the Corpora
ton involved has accumulated
gains or profits beyond hte reason
able needs Of the business" as pro-
hibited by, the revenue act of 1921,
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
declared this afternoon in a letter
to the Senate.
Replying to a Senate resolution
sponsored by Senator Brookhart
Of Iowa, Mellon announced that the
punitive provisions of the revenue
act had not been invoked against
any of the 328 Corporations which
the Federal Trade Commission
chargde with releasing their sur
pluses through stock dividends in
1929.
Total Exceeds Two Billions.
These dividends were said to total
more than two billion dollars and
It was charged by Brookhart and
ether Senator'S that these Corpora
tons were subjects to tax of %
per cent on their net incomes.
1.-THE declaration Of a stock
dividend does not relieve corpora
tions from Section 220,' Secretary
Mellon said in his letter, nor, on
the other hand does it indicate that

tire amount of the surplus capital
lied by the declaration Of the stock
dividend may be invested in plants,
equipment and inventory, or be
needed as working capital, or it may
have been accumulated before the
high surtaxes became effective and
quite without regard to their pos

has no effect upon tax liability OF

Section 220 of the revenue act OF
1921, Mellon said, applies to corpora

profits to accumulate instead OF being
distributed. He held. however, that
nothing had occurred thus far to

sioner of Internal Revenue to hold
any corporation liable to the rs per

out at the same time that the 1921
