 LAW IS REACHING

Copyright, 1OSO, by United PreSs)
 Washington, Aug. 2O-(UP)-Cor- poration stockholders already have reaped Q billion dollar harvest In dividends paid out by firms Of. fected by the i030 corporate tax law, treasury experts estimated to- day. Treasury statistics show on estimated S0,io0,0o0,000 corporation income this year which will Do sub. ject to the 2 to 27 per cent tax passed by the last congress unless distributed to stockholders.
 officials expect that Q large por- ton, perhaps most, of that total will be paid out to stockholders before the end of the year. The dividends are expected to result in improved business and place many taxpayers ln the higher income brackets.
 Tax payments from these in- creased incomes are counted upon as c major factor in anticipated in- creased federal revenue. General business improvement also is ex- pected to result in added federal inc come from other sourceS.
 These expectations formed the basis of Secretary of the, Treasury Henry Morgenthau. Jr.'s recent let. ter to President Roosevelt saying that no new taxes will Dc necessary

DAVIS SPEAKS ON RUSSIAN QUESTION New Soviet Constitution Discussed at Rotary
 Club Luncheon

Edward II. Davis, Btatistlclan from the scovlll Mfg. O., addressed the members of the Waterbury Rotary club at length today, explaining the workings of the new Soviet Repub" llc constitution, . copy of which document he read about Q week ago.
 The most interesting thing in con- nectlon with MT. Davis talk today was the fact that he pointed out several obvious similarities in the new Russian constitution as com. pared to our own. As c matter Of fact, judging from the details given out this noon at the Elton, there are only two major distinctions. In Russia, if the new document iS adopted in November, the congress will Do supreme and amendments may be made ct any time by c two thirds vote of the congress.
 Mir. Davis explained that there are two branches of Legislature, as in this country, and that every per. son, whether Q pronounced support. or of the Soviet Union or not, who is over eighteen years, Is allowed to vote.
 The speaker today stated that the document has probably not been widely read in this country. Ills descriptive analysis of the new con- stitutlon was delivered this noon for the purpose of showing just how'the supreme law of Russian land com" pares to that of our own and his discourse was very educational. , It was announced ct the meeting today that an inter.city meeting would take place at the Wilcox Pier restaurant ct savin Rock on Tues. day, September 22, New Haven and Waterbury members and their wives will attend.
