FEDERAL LEGISLATION
The United States Supreme Court
on May 6, 1885, decided that the
Railroad Retirement Act OF 1894 was
Unconstitutional; however, another
act substantially similar in its pur-
pose, known as the Railroad Retire.
ment Act of 1885, was approved Au-
gust q, 1885, and on the same day
another act was approved, to levy
an income tax on all employees OF
3Izeo on monthly compensation not
in excess of $4,000, and an Excise
Tax on carriers of 3hso Of the COM
pensation not in excess of $4,000 per
month paid employees. The railroads
have united in proceedings to test
the constitutionality Of this legisla-
ton.
The Social Security Act, approved
August IA. 1895, imposes an addi-
tional excise tax on the carriers
covering unemployment compensa.
ton. The tax for 1895 will be 1so Of
total wages paid; 30 in 1887, and
thereafter at the rate of Sc. The
eonstitutionality Of this act has not
yet been passed upon.
sHAREHOLDERs
At the close Of 1885 there were
1889 registered holders of the Com.
pany's capital stock of both classes,

SLOAN IS OPPOSED
TO DIVIDEND CURB
General Motors Chief Says
Control Would Cause
Serious Damage.
Ev the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. June 12.-American
business would be seriously harmed by
any laws which sought to control the
dividend policies of industrial enter
prise, Alfred P. Sloan, jr., president of
General Motors Corp. declared today
in a letter to the company's stock
holders.
Sloan's views we're given In COM
munication accompanying the cor
poration's quarterly dividend checks,
which included the regularly disburse-
ment Of so cents and an extra pay
ment Of rs cents.
Fears Legislation.
The company. he said, Acknowledges
the desirability Of permitting the
profits of business, in whatever form
it may be organized, to flow into ac-
tive channels of commerce to the
maximum possible degree" but at the
same time I oppose determination of
stockholders returns by legislative
processes.
ITO define by law what is desirable
is practically Impossible, sloan as
serted. Law must be specific, and the
many varied and unusual circum-
stances which constantly arise in
dealing with such problems can be
evsluated intelligently only on an in
dividual basis with all the facts avail
able, and even then only those ia
miiiar with the conditions, both cur
rent and prospective"
Inspired by Tax Bill
Sloan's remarks we're apparently in
spired by the pending revenue bill,
with its provisions for taxes on un-
distributed profits, although his letter
did not directly refer to the bill.
The rise of American business" he
said, has been characterized by mod
est beginnings, developing through the
process of evolution into important
enterprises, largely through the en-
ployment of accumulated profits by
aggressive and intelligent manage
ment. To interfere with such a logical
and sound evolution would be little
short Of a catastrophe.
