(Tables 1, 2, and 4.) IMPORTANCE OF STOCK DIVIDENDS AS REPORTED BY COMPANIES IN FINANCIAL MANUALS Because of the bias resulting from the fact that the overwhelming number of corporations used in the preceding tabulations were selected for the reason that they distributed a stock dividend in the seven years 1920-1926, the commission compiled a summary of all the 14-year reports of corporations which appeared from the financial manuals to have distributed a stock dividend in any year from 1913 to 1926, inclusive. The corporations thus selected were (1) all of those which reported a stock dividend in any year from 1913 to 1926 irrespective of when the dividend was paid, avoiding the bias involved in selecting only those which paid a stock dividend in the last seven years and (2) only those companies which furnished dividend reports for the entire 14 years. Such a summary probably contains some degree of bias also, because the number of corporations report- ing stock dividends in the period 1920-1926 was likely to be much R80601—S. Doc. 26. 7T0-1———9
