WOULD TAX PRIVILEGE
OF STOCK DIVIDEIfDS
Washington, March 14.?Representative
W. 11. 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-. He" believes there i; n<>
question about the constitutionality 01
is proposed tax. \?hi h iie would have
:; ?<! d n--cording to the market value
of the stock.
Wilde the propo al might, remedy the
1 nation in the future, Mr. Green does
*tot know what system o. taxation can
>0 tlo\!- imI to make up for thj losse
iom to.k divli! nd> this yirr -in.I tinlosses
in reimbursing taxpavrs foi
mounts paid on stock dividen Is under
protest in 1017 and MMS...
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.
