The opinion
*541 OPINION.
Smith
: The question presented by this proceeding has been before the Board in L. S. Ayers & Co., 1 B. T. A. 1135, wherein we held that the invested capital of a corporation might not be reduced in determining the extent to which a dividend is paid from current earnings of a year by a “ tentative tax ” theoretically set aside out of such earnings pro rata over such year. The position there taken was reaffirmed in All America Cables, Inc., 10 B. T. A. 213. These decisions are controlling in this case.
Judgment will be entered on 15 days’ notice, wider Rule 50.
