WASHINGTON, March 13—As soon as the Supreme Court rendered ite decision that stock dividends are not taxable as income, and thereby gut off from the visible and pros- pectiVe “sources df the Government half a billion doflars or more, the taxation office began to cast about for methods of imposing new taxation to bring in the amount eliminated by the court decree. Every plan put forth by a Government official so far involves the imposition of more taxes on the ultimate consumer, who \s already Durdened beyond the limit. Nobody within the Government thought of collecting the necessary additional taxes from the people who were abgolved from taxation by the Supreme Court. Nevertheless, they can be reached and The Evening World hereby points the way: The Government oan tax stock dividends just as the State of New York taxes stock transfers. Shares of stock given to stock- holderg af companies or corpora- tide as stock dividends can be reached by a simple, inexpensive stamp taxation plan which will fall upon the very individuals who are now filing claims against the Government for refunds on taxes paid on such stock dividends prior Pa idactenmee eats i cor TEE EvEeNIN NEW YORK LAW POINTS WAY TO SAVE $500,000,000 LOST BY STOCK DIVIDEND DECREE ccorecdinanins Transfer Tax Could Bring to LAW, IS COURT PROOF. | *MIA® MEASURE HAS Already Upheld by Highest ‘ of Congress.

In the judgment of lawyers, to whom I submitted it last night, tt will go before the Supreme Court, if it is tested, with all the prestige and force of an act which hag been, in @ case closely measuring up to the pres- ont emergency, held constitutional, Hh the first place, it should be un- derstood that the Supreme Court de cision exempting stock dividends from taxation dealt a severe blow to the Income of the Government. Some Treasury Department authorities hold that the total loss of revenue and refund will not amount to more than $350,000,000, because the Government will not have to repay taxes to per- sons who have sold their certificates obtained as stock dividends. This opinion is not shared by constitu- tional lawyers in Washington. They maintain that if the dividena itself, in the form of stock, cannot be taxed as income, the proceeds of that dividend cannot be taxed income, inasmuch as it is a return on capital already possessed; there- fore, the cost to the Government of the Supreme Court decfsion is sub- ject to no rebate, whatever, and will run to at least $50,000,000’ and may | go to $70,000,000.

After referring to the necessity for the production and collection of food supplies, Trotzky says: “Spring is coming. This is the sea- son of agricultural work, As the productive force of our factories haa lessened, the number of new farm implements which can be delivered has become insufficient. The revolu- tionary labor army will employ its workshops as well as its workmen in order to repair such tools and ma- chinery as are needed. When the season arrives for work in the flelds, the Red Cavalry and Infantry will prove that they know how ‘to plough the earth.” The results are already beginning to show in Cleaning up the territory controlled by the Bolsheviki.

With conscription goes intensive education. In Moscow, @ campaign has been begun against illiteracy. The Bolshevik leaders have raised the slogan “illiteracy the worst legacy of autocracy.” After certain dates no illiterates will be allowed in the membership of trade unions. They must learn to read and write, though they will be paid for the time spent in studying.
