INTRODUCTION “Bad things happen if you fail to pay federal income taxes when due.”1 Although the Supreme Court was referring to the calamities that befall taxpayers,2 the same can be said for the government. Some “taxpayers”3--intentionally or unintentionally--fail to report and/or pay the proper amount of tax owed when due. Accordingly, the government must spend money to audit taxpayers, to assess taxes, to collect the proper amount of tax due, and to borrow to replace the lost revenue. Additionally, taxpayer failures to comply with the tax law--i.e., the Internal Revenue

    he Politics of Business in California 1890-1920 SI 2.50 The Politics of Business in California. 1890-1920 Manse/ G. Blackford The American experience between the Civil War and World War I can perhaps be best understood as an attempt to reorder national life in the wake of a radical social and eco­ nomic disruption that was brought on by rapid industrialization. In California, even more than in other areas of the nation, fundamental and dramatic changes were to occur throughout the period as various sectors of the state's rapidly ex­ panding economy became both increasingly differentiated and more closely interdependent. Through a series of mergers and consolida­ tions, large, diversified, integrated, and multi­ level firms came to replace smaller, more specialized, independent, and single-level companies. Trade associations, marketing com­ bines, and other affiliations served to organize these emergent firms within each industry; and businessmen, acutely aware of a need for recognition of their status as members of a profession, began increasingly to act in con­ cert as a special-interest group, both in public, in their representations to legislative bodies, and in private, as apologists for commercial practice and as agents working to suppress competition and increase efficiency. Professor Blackford examines three of Cali­ fornia's more important basic productive in­ dustries—agriculture, oil, and lumber—and three of its principal supportive businesses — banking, investment banking, and insurance — together with two major issues that cut across industry lines: the growing movement to bring about state regulation of railroads and public utilities, and the effort to effect tax reform.

  • About Mark Everson

    About Mark Everson

    About Mark Everson Mark was born on September 10, 1954 in New York City. His father, Leonard, was an attorney and his mother, Marjory, was a chemist before becoming a full time homemaker. Mark grew up in Yonkers with his two siblings, Margaret and Charlie. After nine years at P.S. # 8 in Yonkers, Mark attended boarding school in Exeter, New Hampshire starting in the ninth grade. Finishing a year early in 1971, Mark then lived in Africa for the better part of a year. At age seventeen he managed components of an integrated poultry farm in Kitwe, Zambia. First he ran the butchery, next the broiler grow out operation, and finally the hatchery. In 1972 Mark returned to the United States and started college. While at Yale, Mark studied history and ran on the cross country and track teams. The high point of his athletic career came in April 1975 when Mark ran the Boston Marathon in the time of 2:32:28, a more than respectable finish then or now. The next day Mark’s coach asked him to jump into the JV 3 mile against Harvard. He did and won the race. Immediately after graduation, Mark joined the accounting firm Arthur Andersen & Co. as an auditor in the New York office. He went to night school at the NYU Business School, earning a MS degree in accounting and becoming a CPA. After six years of working on the audits of some of the largest corporations in the world, Mark left Andersen and joined the Reagan administration. Mark spent six years in the Reagan administration, with his time more or less equally divided between the United States Information Agency and the Department of Justice.

The Army was still segregated at this time, and the 555th or ''Triple Nickles" was the African American contingent. The Service Club Complex was at the southwestern part of the segregated African American area of Fort Bragg. The two buildings are also physically unique at Fort Bragg. The WWII temporary buildings plans called for wood for the construction, yet these two buildings were constructed out of concrete block with structural concrete block buttresses strengthening the walls. All other Fort Bragg WWII temporary buildings were constructed out of wood, and only one other building at Fort Bragg utilized this concrete block construction with buttresses.
