JAXITAKV 1021 PAOE THItEE SfART- SUIT TO TAKE MiLUONS FROM UNCI Invested Capital Gase Starts in Supreme Court Ap pelant Wins Govt. Will Have to Return Hundreds of Mil lions in Taxes. ' WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. Arguments were begun todaylii the supreme court in" the "Invested capital case" charac terised by Solicitor Goneyal Friereon as "tho most Important legal suit from the standpoint of government fi nances in' a decade." Whether the gov ernpieut will be forced to. return hun dreds of millions of dollars paid as in copie taxes depends on the outcome. The immediate cause at Jssh,e be fore the court is the appeal of the La belle Iron works from a ruling of the bureau of internal revenue, refusing to allow ft to treat as' invested capital the valufl of ore lands Which it had purchased1 in 19.0D for tlQt.000' and which by 1917 had Increased to $10, o0(),000. Government agents maintain ed that-the increase in realty .was "profit," and shonUl be' taxed as such,.' The company added the increase" to Its capital Invested and claimed the nor ' mal deduction of seven per cent, pay ing imdor. protest the additional tu of tl,081,O00. v , Tho question of whether a stock div idend Is taxable arose in a new Conn in ' the present case,' the increased vnlpe of the ore lands having been rep resented on the books of tho corpora tion, according to the government's brief, since 1912 by "slock issued us a stock dividend." , The wide interest displayed In the crtse in. the business world was illus trated by the number of requests for permission to" file briefs including the Long Bell Lumber company of Kansas i Cfty; the National Lumber.. Manufac turers association and the Kansas City Structural flteel company. ..Increase in the value of the' ore lands is comparable to . the Increase which occurs In the value of "a herd of cattle which,; yhen purchased Included a number of calves, the appellant ar gued. ' ' ' ' ' '' V ."Profits" was defined to tho court as the. actual net agnount of gain made , by fa business between any two dales. "'The appellant's theory is the csjM ital invested in its ore lands is not what is paid for them, but is to be measured -by the present value of the lands,". Mr. Prierson said, "lint the government c;oiittm!H, on tho - other hand, that the act clearly Mcflncs the 'invested capital' as. the amount re ceived in exchange for its share of stock .plus any 'paid in or edVnod sur plus' used in tho business." -,. .
