    The Background of the Revenue Act of 1937

    THE BACKGROUND OF THE REVENUE ACT OF 1937 RANDOLPzH E. PAUL* O N AUGUST 28, 1894, Congress enacted what was then considered a drastic income tax statute.' It carried a rate of 2%. The stat- ute was regarded by many with horror. Mr. Joseph H. Choate, then a leader of the New York bar, called the act "communistic in its pur- poses and tendencies," and confiscatory. 3 Words momentarily failed even Mr. Choate before the Supreme *Court, but he managed to label the prin- ciples upon which the tax was defended in that court as "communistic, socialistic-what shall I call them-populistic4 as ever have been ad- dressed to any political assembly in the world." s No attempt was made to circumvent this outrageous "direct" tax upon property. None was ever necessary. A direct frontal attack was made in the famous Pollock case and was successful by the recently noteworthy margin of five to four. Th6 decision, dose as it was, "forcibly interred"6 the contested statute and the nineteenth century had a peaceful ending. Taxpayers were safe until orderly constitutional process made the six- teenth Amendment effective on February 25, I913 Jand "direct" income taxation was possible without the impossible8 apportionment requirement. On this day the peace won by Mr. Choate proved merely a truce, and war was declared. In the beginning it was a quiet, good-natured conflictY It * Member of the New York bar.

    Spotlight on Economy: the Tariff of Abominations (1828)

    Name: _______________________________ US History I Spotlight on Economy: The Tariff of Abominations (1828) The Tariff: Beginning in 1789, the United States federal government helped America’s young industries by creating a tariff. A tariff is a tax on _____________ goods. Many Americans bought British made goods because they were more durable and sold for less. The tariff was raised and 1824, and then raised to an unbearable rate in 1828, thus receiving its nickname of the Tariff of Abominations! House Vote on Tariff of 1828 For Against What does it mean? New England 16 23 Middle States (Mid-Atlantic) 57 11 West (OH, IN, IL, MO) 17 1 South (including LA) 3 50 Southwest (TN, KY) 12 9 Total 105 94 Many of the nations’ ports were in New England. Why does the chart show strong opposition to the tariff in the north? How did states in the mid-Atlantic react to the tariff? How can you explain this? Now examine states in the West and the South. They display very strong shifts in beliefs toward the tariffs. What possible explanations can you offer for this? PERSPECTIVES ON THE TARIFF OF 1828 North “Supporting industry is the American thing to do!” “Why buy foreign goods when you can buy American!” “We need to protect American jobs!” “If people would stop buying foreign goods, that would strengthen our economy!” “Making foreign goods more expensive will make our goods even more desirable!” South “European goods are of better quality! How will we show our social status without having the finest goods from Europe? This tariff is an abomination!” “We depend on European countries to buy our cotton! We can’t make them angry by putting a high tax on their goods!” “Our economy will suffer if we have less trade with Europe!” “This tariff favors the North’s needs over our desires! Why doesn’t this government work for Southern gentlemen like us?” “Our plantations depend on farm equipment made in Europe! How are we going to survive without these goods? We just can’t afford them anymore!” Write what you observe happened in 1828 to imports into the United States.

  • "Relief" Provisions in the Revenue Act of 1943

    "Relief" Provisions in the Revenue Act of 1943

    "RELIEF" PROVISIONS IN THE REVENUE ACT OF 1943 By JAMES E. FAHEY t THE Revenue Act of 1943 1 is an anomaly in the framework of income tax legislation.2 Its most obvious distinction lies in the manner of its enactment. It is the first revenue raising measure ever to be vetoed by a president and the first ever to be passed over veto. The political storm which engulfed Congress and the President over the bill's passage cen- tered in large measure over the so-called "relief" provisions found in the bill. These provisions alternately have been defended as accomplishing the correction of existing inequities in the law and assailed as providing loopholes enabling certain favored individuals and industries to avoid their equitable share in financing the war. A scrutinization of these con- troversial provisions in the light of the situations which they were de- signed to change may serve to focus the issue more clearly for the reader whose opinions are yet to be crystallized. Specifically, the President's veto message ' criticized five "relief" pro- visions in the bill as being special privilege measures. They were the provision for non-recognition of gain or loss on corporate reorganiza- tions carried on under court supervision and the concomitant "basis" provision,4 the extension of percentage depletion to certain minerals which were theretofore denied its use,' a provision making optional to taxpay- ers in the timber or logging business an accounting procedure which would enable them to treat the cutting of their timber as the sale of a capital asset,6 the extension of favored excess profits tax treatment formerly given only to producers of minerals and timber to producers of natural gas,7 and a broadening of the existing exemption of air mail carriers from excess profits taxes.8 t fember of the Kentucky Bar; Lecturer in Taxation, University of Louisville Law School.
