Big Biz Only Snarls At
Stock Dividend Tax

Washington. -" Corporations have
warned you they will not pay taxes
on stock dividends or on undistributed
profits" said Congressman Lozier.
who reminded his colleagues of a re-
cent speech by Congressman Mills
who has been referred to on the floor
OF the house as one who more nearly
represents the views, if not the in
terests of Wall street than any other
man in this body"
when we were discussing the
amendments relating to tax on stock
dividends and undistributed profits" )"
said Mr.. Lozier, "what did the able
gentleman from New York congress
man Mills) say? Did he not say, in
substances Wealth will find way to
get around these amendments that
congress is powerless to compel cor
porations to pay tax on their un-
distributed profits or on profits dis
tributed in the form of stock divi-
.dends?
"He frankly told us that if neces-
sary to evade paying tax on these
profits, corporations would go through
the mock ceremony of disorganizing
and the reorganizing their concerns,
or would sell their stocks and take a
paper loss,' and then go in the mar
ket and buy back the same stock or
stocks of similar character, a pro-
cess of circumlocution utilized for the
sole purpose of evading the payment
of their just proportion Of national
taxation"
Mr.. Lozier declared that taxable
returns from the great centers Of
wealth and population have dwindled
SO rapidly and so tremendously as to
justify no other conclusion than that
the great aggregations of wealth are
not reporting their taxable incomes.
The speaker said that thrse-fourths
of the clerical work in the income tax
unit Of the treasury department and
probably nine-tenths of the expense of
maintaining that unit is caused by the
failure Of corporations and the
wealthy to make honest returns under
the law.

II have the honor to draw your at
