Where a railroad company pays a tax on its undistributed surplus under the Internal Revenue Act of June 30, 1864, c. 173, 13 Stat. 223, it is thereby paying a tax upon its own property, and such payment cannot be regarded as a payment of a tax upon a stock dividend thereafter declared by the company.
