passed a virtual death SEN
tence on the School Subsidy
Bill by referring it back to
Committee. The measure call
ed for the Federal government
to subsidize the schools of the
country by contributing three
hundred million dollars per
yeear to the various states,
tvo hundred million Of which
would have been distributed
on a per capita scholar basis
for the payment Of teachers
salaries, with the additional
one hundred million to go to
sub-standard schools, mostly
in the South. Many school Of
ficials were in favor Of the
measure because of their in
terest in increased salaries
for teachers. Others, how
ever, fearing it would be the
opening wedge toward Fed
eral bureaucracy obtaining
control of Americas public
school system.
As previously predicted in
this column, the House last
week passed legislation ir-
creasilag benefit payments to
dependents Of men in the
armed services. The House
Bill, which provides a new de
pendency allotment schedule
Of fifty dollars for the wife,
thirty dollars for the first
child, and twenty dollars for

YOUR INCOME
TAX
NO. 10
Dividend Income

Among the forms Of income re-
ceived by many taxpayers is that
of dividends. Becaue Of the wide
distribution of investment securities,
many persons have income Of this
character, even though often small
In amount. Such income must be
reported for Federal income tax
purposes to the extent that 1t rep.
resents taxable income.
Income from dividends Is entered
on line Of the return Form 1040.
Dividends in general represent dis
tributions of earnings and profits by
corporation or association to its
shareholders, and constitute taxable
income. In certain cases, however,
such as the liquidation Of q bank or
other corporation, dividends may
represent a distribution Of the share
holders original investment, and to
that extent, would not constitute in
come, but a return of original capi-
tai, and accordingly would not be
taxable.
In certain cases, also, such as that
Of mining companies dec! ring divi~
dends out Of depletion reserves, the
dividend may represent wholly or
partially a return Of investment.
Persons receiving dividends Of this
character are usually advised by the
corporation as to the amount which
it considers to be non-taxable as q
return of capital. It is appropriate
for the taxpayer to enter in his re-
turn the amounts received In accord
ance with the advice by the cor.
poration, but it should be borne In
mind that the determination Of the
taxable amount may be subject TO
revision as q result Of official audit
of the corporations return.
Dividends on share accounts In
Federal savings and loan aSsocia-
lions on shares issued prior to
March %, 1912 are exempt from
normal tax, but must be included
in surtax net income for surtax purs
poses. Dividends on share accounts
with respect to shares issued on or
after March %, 1912, are subject to
both normal tax and surtax.
For taxpayers on q cash basis,
that Is, reporting income as received
and expenses as paid, dividend IN
come Is reported as received. Divis
dend income is considered as rec
ceived, irrespective Of when the tax
payer may cash the check.

His ExceIIency
Interprets News
Of State Interest
BY RAYMOND E. BALDWIN.
Governor:

ASAAAAA~
Governor:
The response to my request for
closing 'tnon- essential to- he-war"
places of business on two consecu-
tive days has been most gratifying
Through voluntary cooperation we
are not only saving much needed
fuel but are also saving gasoline
which workers might ordinarily use
In getting to and from work. The
more we can reduce our demands for
gasoline, the more tank and barge
and truck space can be made avail
able for transporting oil for heating
our homes. I want to thank Con-
necticut people for the splendid
manner in which they have cooper
ated to meet this grave emergency.
It is a grave emergency - and
the men and women who have been
without that, the parents Of chill
dren, old people and sick people
and those who had little or no
heat during the cold spell Of last
week, they know what 1t is to be
cold. And because we knew that
people were going cold, we worked
night and day - and we're still do
ing 1t 60 to get sufficient supplies
Of oil into the State to meet the
needs Of our people.
In normal times we in Connects.
cut produce about one billion, three
hundred million dollars worth Of
manufactured production in a year
Our estimated production last veal
was nearly four times normal - Of
about five billion dollars worth
This was a dream come true -
dream which meant much to the
successful prosecution of the war
to the expansion Of our fighting
forces - yes, and to our Connect
cut boys who, together with those
from other states and other nations,
are fighting this war with Connecti-
cut products. The fact that Con-
necticut products poured forth
from our factories in ever increasing
amounts last year Is a tribute to
the men and women who work in
our factories, both management and
labor. We are striving to do our
duty for our country.
Our Federal Government Is ask
ing us to produce more and more.
To do this we need more workers.
Where are they coming from? There
is a job to be done. It's the biggest,
most important job that ever faced
free people who are fighting to
remain free and preserve a free
word. If we, all working together
in Connecticut, are going to meet
the call Of duty as we should meet
it on our own then let us
face the facts now. We do not have
the housing to import workers If
there were any to import; we'd
rather do this job ourselves any
way. And the way we can do 1t is
by calling for every able bodied
woman between the ages of 10 and
60 without dependents to enlist in
our production army.
For some time local committees
in our larger cities where there is
a need for more workers to in
crease production have formulated
plans to organize the recruiting,
training and placing of more wo-
men in industry, to take the places
of men who are going to the front
to increase our Connecticut output,
to help our armed forces carry the
battle to the enemy. I am there
fore asking the women of Connec-
ticut to listen to their radios next
Tuesday evening, February 2, at
7:30 o'clock. At that time I plan
to outline in detail our plans for
recruiting. training and placing wo-
men in industry.
