...American Birth Control League, Inc.received from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Treasury Department, Washington, D. C. on March 2, 1938 a ruling that the League is exempt from Federal Income Tax under Section 101 (6) of the 1936 Revenue Act, and that contributions to the League are deductible by individual donors in arriving at their taxable net income. This exemption ruling continues in force. At least two of the leading tax service publications noted the ruling in 1938, but evidently it was not observed in the 1939 revision of Simon & Schuster's manual, Your Income Tax, which you reviewed...
...build-up began with Harry Hopkins' own well-dramatized swearing-in as Secretary of Commerce on Christmas Eve. It was continued in Franklin Roosevelt's rousing message to Congress about an 80-billion-dollar country. It was renewed by his remarks about "no new taxes," on the train south last fortnight (TIME, Feb. 27). Last week the build-up was intensified by Secretary Morgenthau, who proposed not only to avoid new taxes but to mitigate those which give businessmen a "what's-the-use" attitude.

...Congress is about to consider the Patman Chain Store Tax bill, which would exterminate the big chains. Chief reason the chains fear the bill may become law is that no less than 22 States have already imposed chain taxes-and in a far-reaching decision, Louisiana's was upheld by the U. S. Supreme Court.

Because Pennsylvania's Constitution requires that all taxes must be uniform, Dauphin County Court declared it invalid...
...Title Guarantee & Trust still had over a million in cash on hand, but it did not open for business again. With $21,500,000 in deposits still on its books, it was the biggest bank failure in five years. Reason: under Boss Frank Hague, Jersey City's tax rate on real estate is the highest in the U. S. and the bank's assets were frozen with $21,000,000 in real estate commitments, much of it in empty tenements and factories...
...records and letters, files of 26 periodicals, 183 biographies, histories, travel books, reference books). Its setting is Virginia from 1754 to 1806, easily the most fact-packed era in U. S. history. Miss Page, who once wanted to be a history professor, gets all the facts in-Indian trouble, tax trouble, Patrick Henry's rebel-rousing, the Declaration, Trenton, Saratoga, Lafayette off Rhode Island, the Constitution and how it grew, the rise of the Republicans (later called Democrats), everything from A to the XYZ affair-but so sweetly does she coat her historical pill that it might well...
