...famed authority on taxation, Columbia University's Roswell Magill, was made Under Secretary of the Treasury. Studies were promptly started. And then in a message to Congress last April President Roosevelt declared that there was "an immediate need for a careful survey of the present tax structure." One result of that call to action was the red-herring investigation of incorporated yachts during the battle over the Supreme Court and the subsequent plugging of a few yawning loopholes...
