Green of Iowa will urge a graduated tax on the privilege of issuing stock dividends to replace the tax on stock dividends, held unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court. The Ways and c'iuh Committee is to meet Monday to consider new taxes for the losses sustained in tin* recent decision, which i\yt only eliminated the stock dividend but annulled the tax 011 perotial service corjtorntions. In the opinion of Mr. G~ecn, Coti:rens has tlie j ower to levy a tax on the rvilege of issuing stock dividends, and an intkp ill's tax suliivientiy high to obtain enough nmney from that source o make up the losses in the tax on stock* lividend-.

The refund and losses will not road: iho amount originally oslimatr.1. Actual In :r to revised estimates fcut C'hnir man Kordney of the Ways and Menus Committee l?v the Treasury today, t' i total loss to the tiovcrnincnt will be lightly over #100,000.000. The Controller of the Currency esti mutes that the refunds for the years 1017 ami 1018 will amount to $25,000. >00 for each year, or a total of $70,000, >00. The loss for 1010 will exceed either of these years, but the total of the three years, including the refund md the taxes that would have accrued from stock dividends in 1010, will not eroatly exceed $100,000,000. There is a great probability that the Ways and Means Committee will do nothing immediately in tlu* way of finding another source of taxation, but will tllow the matter to rest until the revenue laws arc revised generally in the next session of Congress. However, it will be necessary to place a flat tax on personal service corporations without deay. so that these taxes shall not be lost. SAYS RAILROAD EMPLOYEES WILL TRY OUT NEW LAW Washington.
