S. 500 Billion Yearly Washington. March 10.—Members of the ways and means committee ar disturbed over the supreme court de- declaring unconstitutional the income tax on stock dividends. Until they can get definite informa- tion as to the money collected from this source. they cannot determin: the necessity for a new revenus measure. If the tax loss should be found large enough to require the finding of further means for financing the government's obligations, it would dash the hopes of both repulr- licans and democrats for an early ad- | journment for the campaign. Chai man Fordney, of the wa. and means committee, does not believe the amount will be large enough to C: serious concern to members of Representative lLongworth, repub-: lican member of the committee, has the nearest to an official estimate of the amount of revenue @ffected. He Was informed two oy three meonths ago, after the case was argued in the supreme court, that the refunds, in case the tax was declared unconsti- tutional. would be about $35,000,000 for 1917-18 and about $75,000,000 for 1918-19, provided the decision came down before Jan. 1, 1920. In- asmuch as it did not come down un- til afterward, it was believed the re- fund will be much less than §7 000,000, Representative Kitchin, who was chairman of the ways and means | committee when the law was writ- | ten, estimates the total loss at sev- eral hundred million dollars. i “Hereafter.” he declared, “I think we will lose $500,000.000 a year from { this source. ig corporations will have stock dividends instead of cash dividends, and therefore will cut us out of about $500,000,000 a yea Mr. Kitchen would favor an in- crease in the normal tax on corpora- tions to 16 per cent from 10 per cent. This would be 2 60 per cent increase. “The to raise “would most equitable way the lost revenue,” he added, he to increase the flat rate on co porations. 1 do not think this de- ision will operate to the interest of big corporations as much as the to imply, for the rcason that com- sress, to make good what we will lose by the tax on stock dividends, will, or ought to, so increase the in- come tax on corporations to make zood the loss.” g NEW ’I‘HEATER MANAGER B. i Marry Dean of New York, Suc- cgeds F.
