TAX BURDEN HIT
BY|NvESTORBODY
Load 81 Per Cent Higher
Than Common Dividends
for $50 Big Firms.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The American Federation Of In
vestors made public last night a COM
pilation showing that taxes Of $50
major corporations for 1887 were "a
per cent greater than the total of their
common stock dividends.
The federation, private organiza-
ton with headquarters in Chicago,
said in an accompanying statement
that excessive taxation seriously re-
duces the purchasing power Of mill
lions of thrifty citizens, investors and
workers, who pay the bulk of taxes"
"Extravagant governmental spend
ing" the statement addSd, may slim
ulate business temporarily, but a de-
pressing reaction Is certain to follow,
with constantly mounting debt to be
paid by ever-increasing taxation"
The corporations listed included
most of the major manufacturing firms
and utilities, and some of the larger
distributors.
The federation said their 1887 taxes
averaged s2.65 for each common share,
while their dividends averaged $l.95.
They paid, it said. an average of $514
in taxes for each employe. Stocks Of
the companies were held in 1887 by
6,490,821 individuals, the compilation
showed
Asserting that millions of others, by
ownership of insurance policies and
savings deposits, had indirect interests
in the companies, the federation
added:
These facts prove that millions of
common people are vitality interested in
the success of American industry, and
that when industry suffers from bur-
densome taxation the depressing re-
suits fall directly upon these common
people,"
