Treasury After
Dodge Sale Tax
Experts Study Affairs of
Motor Concern to Insure
Collection of Full Sum.

Washington, April 5.-The treas
ury intends to make sure. that 1t
gets all of the tax due the govern.
ment from capital gain in the sale of
Dodge Brothers. Inc, to the New
York bank syndicate.
In order to avoid a situation simi.
lar to that which has developed from
the sale OF minority holdings in the
Ford Motor company, 1t is explained,
experts have begun a study OF the
income and corporation tax affairs of
the Dodge company.
Treasury officials insist that the
work is routine" but 1t is regarded
generally as meaning that every
phase OF the value OF the company s
stock and its sale will be examined
before n settlement is made between
the government and the former
stockholders. The investigation. In
stituted as a result of published re
ports of the sale. will involve re
view of every tax return made by

ganiza ton in 1914.
Depreciation charges have been car
ried in every return, IL is said, and
these charges will have a vital bear.
ing on the net capital gain made by
the holders of the stock. Practically
all that the treasury knows about the
case now, it is explained, is that the
corporation had outstanding In 1928 n
total of 5 1000. 900 shares of a par value
of $40.
That represented $50 1000, 900 IN
capital but the sale price was several
times greater, so the treasury faces
the task of aseertaining the value OF
the stock at the time of incorporation
and annually since. including the true
value as reflected In the purchase
price.
Capital gains are taxable at IL l.
per cent.
