says wi: cwrsi; vnuiist. .South Rend, Ind., April 21. 1 Mi tor News-Times: You Infer that there has been a v. hole-sale evasion of the payment of the excess pro.'its tax on stock divilend.s because of the recent supreme court decision declaring stock tlivilends as a distribution of capital and jiot of income. Mxresa proilt tax ii only applicable under tho present lylS revenue act to net income earned by corporations, other than personal service, during the lineal year in excess of a redit or amount equal to 8 per cent of th actual luvest d capital plus $ .'.('oo.OU. and op-rates on a graduated scale. 'Thi- tax is in addition to a normal tax of 10 per cent m. sensed upon .all earninrrs in excess of a credit of J2.00u.00. except an

a mount equal to the excess profits lax assessed. You will not- that this rate is ; p r cent higher than upon individual, r which is paid ly members of partnership which it re als) asess'd a.s individuals. t'nihr the prevent revenue act, prior to the recent supreme court ei-ision, stock dividends w -re taxald to th recipient in the same manner as cash dividends, i. c, the t-urtax, which is an additional tax assessed upon a Krailuated scale f t"ro:a 1 per cent 65 per cent to inlividuabj with ii. net income in ess f jr.000.00, applied and wan assessed upon the stock, riivhlend when received. As the supreme court decided, stock dividends ar not income, but merely a distribution of capital, and a distribution of tho value originally j prcsentd by on .share into more shares, hence merely cutting tlwn the book, and usually the market value of the shares held and ret'iVt d. Kxamp: Twenty-five men invest JÖÖ0.C00.O0 in a. manuf acturlnp business which in Incorporated. This mthical concern v;ia organized in I ;00 and subsequent to that tirr.e has made an average annual net incom of 10 per cent. As tho busi-n-ss increa.ot. they needed all the apital available, hen'e the board f directors declinel to declare any ash dividends, and the stockholders !id not wish to receive stock dividends as they wished to at omo future date receive their share of the earning" in the form of cash iividends. which would have been impos-sible If a stock tlividend had been declarod. Alo, stock dividends have been subject t" tho surtax upon the receipt the same a.s cash lividemK nJthouprh tlie stockholdr received no value made stock lividends unpopular. At the end of 20 years, a rurjdus of J 1.000. 000 has been accumulated and invested in additional plants and needed eVilprnrnt. In as much as a cash llvidend v. ould not bt possible without bor-

holder, if he wishes, can cash in, or Fell h's holding's, and yet is not subject to a tax on the dividend until he realizes a profit, accumulated surplus which were built up over lon periods of time are now being declare!, and as In the case above fr-quently a stock dividend of 2'0 per cent is leclar?d, and to those who real such editorials as yurs, they at once come to the conclusion that this was th' amount of earnings of ene year, and hence someone i.s profiteering. In other words they take it for granted that you knowwhereof you speak. In tho above case, at the end of the 20 year period one of th original shares of stock which originally cost J 100 would have increased in value to J?, CO, n.s the one share stock represents one-five thousandth interest in tho company, hence i.s always worth par plus its share of the surplus. "When a stock dividend is declared the taxable status of the incorporation loes not change; in fact, the only change is that the surplus is transferred , to capital stock Issued, and forever prevents that ' amount from beintr disfributetl as cash lividends. The net worth of the corporation remains the same. The value of the stock held by the stockholder remains the name, the only difference is tho share which Immediately prior to the declaration f the stoc-k dlvideml was worth $200 is now worth one-third a much or J 100. The stock dividend of 2 shares represents two-thirds of the original valuue. or $1( each, and all three shares are together now worth the same as the original share was prior to the stock tlividend. "When the stockholder disposes of any of his holdings, he must report as taxable Income all income received In excess of the original cost or its value on March 1, 1913. For instance, if he sold his entire holdings for $300. the original cost having been $100, and its value on March 1. 101."., having ben $175. the income reportable would be J 123

which would be subject to both the normal and the surtax rates. It is lamentable that there is so much guessed at, and -superficial thinking reflected in our daily papers relative to the workings out of the federal income tax law, as well as other questions.

ROADWAY HINDERED BY BABY MOUNTAIN

mu'i: TAI1LI IN" A CIA 1 To the I-Mitor of The News-Times: I would like to suggest a means of carrying on the christian spirit which the 'Vangelistic campaign now being held is trying to inspire. The plan i.s this the tabernacle building at the close of the revival be turned over to furnishing shelter temporarily at leat to tho-e who have been unable to find a home or shelter. This would show a christian spirit in the community and prove that Christianity extends beyond words. The proper board mii?ht consider the idea, as the shelter is erected only to be torn down at considerable Iosh in a short time unless utilized as it stands. I offer this in sincerity to extend the spirit of christian endeavor. Respectfully, o. k ostiianii:u.

Mack Powder and Ton? Dynamite Used to Remove Obstruction.

MOnr.ISON, Colo., April 24. It re-.uir-d CO can of black powder and two pounds cf dynamite to raze a baby mountain that hindered the const ruction of a stretch of roadway near the mouth of Rear Creek canon, just north of here. The same quantity of xplosivc judiciously placed, would wreck any one of New York's numerous skyscrapers, according to the engineer in cliarc:0 of the work. The young mountain that was Jamil into pebbles stood on tho survey line of a now road which is helnvc built by the mountain parks department, to make accessible a new artificial lake in the canon. The blaster who set off the explosive r laced his charges of powder and dynamite so carefully that the buildings within the short radius of 50 yards were not damaged. When the charge "let po" a tremendous explosion reverberated through the canon, the mountain of rock swelled up and cracked into smaller pieces as a great cloud of black smakc went skyward. roLin: watch moyii:. So many hundreds of people swarmed about the CASTLE Sunday in an effort to see "The Great 'Air Robbery." which closes its run today, that the police made a special trip to sec what it was all about.

FOR GOVERNOR MASON J. NIBLACK DEMOCRATIC TICKET lion. Mason J. Niblack of Vincenr.es is the only candidate for governor in the primary, May 4th, who lives south of Indianapolis Southern Indiana Democrats have not been r-pr-sent-d in the governor's chair since the days of "Rlue .Hans" Williams. Hon. Thomas Taggart of Ind'anapolis is the unanimous hoiee of Indiana Democracy for United States S nator. He has no opposition and will be the party nominee. Northern Indiana is asking the nomination for Lieutenant-Governor. With Mr. Niblack on the ticket for Governor, the three sec tion's of the State will be represented and the tick-t will be well balanced. Care and forethought should be exercised so as not to "centraiiz'" nominations all at Indianapolis. Think it over. Mr. Niblack was born and reared in Knox County, a member of one of the most prominent Democratic families in the state. His father, Hon. William 11. Niblack, represented the old First District in the Unite! States Congress for sixteen years and was a mernb r of the Supreme Court of Indiana for twelve years. He has two brothers, William C. Niblack, an eminent attorney of Chicago, and Rear Admiral Albert 1. Niblick, f tho Unitel States Navy. Mason J. Niblack lias served four terms in the Indiana Legislature, twice as Speaker of the JIous f Representatives. He was the Democratic nominee for Lieutenant-Governor and the running mate of Mr. Adair in 1 i lt. He served twenty-two years as a member of the State Board of Agriculture, lie was a member of the Vincennes City School board for fifteen years. Cor the past fifteen years he has been Rrsident of the Indiana State Ree Keepers' Association. Mr. Niblack lives on his farm and is a professional an 1 . practical farmer. He has levoted his energies entirely to the farm industry for the past twelve years. He has brst-hand, practical, scientific knowledge of the farmers' problems. He has always been fair to labor. Farmer candidates for Governor have always been winners with the people of Indiana. Mr. Niblack is an old-line Democrat honest, unassuming and capable. He believes in the integrity of the people and in the ir ability to manage their own local affairs without dictation or interference from the Governor's office. He does not b-lieve in the modern schemes of centralization of power and authority. Southern Indiana offers to the Democratic voters of t'n State hfr native son. Mason J. Niblack, in full knowledge that he measures up to De mocratic standards and Democratic ideals as to qualifications and fitness for the chief executive oflicer of the State.
