Book Description
Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of Taxation The great, the unanswerable argument in favour of uni versal suffrage is, not that it insures a better or purer govern ment, but that all must be contented with a government in which all have an equal voice. If it be deficient in this particular, if it fail to protect the poor against the oppression of the rich, or the rich against a destruction of their property by the poor, it is pro tanto a failure, and another method of representation should be adopted. - Address of Justice Brown. United States Supreme Court, before the Law Department of Yale University, J uly, 1895. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Income Tax: A Study of the History, Theory and Practice of Income Taxation at Home and Abroad It may appear to some that too much attention has been paid to the historical side of the subject. It seemed to me, however, that the most important lesson to be learned from experience was the gradual transition in public sentiment from a position of uncompromising hostility to one of virtual acquiescence. Such a lesson, however, can be impressed only after a full and thorough presentation of the facts. This, apart from the inherent interest of the matter, must be my excuse for attempting an exhaustive statement, not only of the legislation and of the parliamentary history, but also of the scientific as well as of the more ephemeral literature of the topic, in the most important countries from which we have a lesson to learn. In this investigation, especially so far as England is concerned. Virtually no help was secured from any existing investigation, and I have therefore been compelled to make a pioneer study, with all its inevitable defects.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ...backward, and by relation or fiction make that a law at any antecedent period of the same day which was not so before the approval. The Constitution can not be abrogated by construction. The law prescribes a rule for the future, not for the past. And this in a republican government is a doctrine of vital importance to the security and protection of the citizen."--Potter's Dwarris on Statutes, p. 101. In an elaborate opinion the general appraisers concluded that the act of 1897 did not become operative until it had received the signature of the President, but this conclusion was so distasteful to the Government that the decision was "withheld for review." Upon being carried into the courts, the decisions were all against the Government, which reluctantly abandoned its absurd and unjust pretensions. Having before it the procedure of certain European countries, where power is conferred on the executive to raise or lower duties by decree, and to make a decree operative at once, it thought to introduce the same procedure in the conduct of the United States Treasury in tariff matters. In the light of this attempt, and of the onerous, inquisitorial, and despicable rules laid down as to the inspection of baggage of American citizens returning from abroad, it may be doubted if the customs policy of the country has ever been influenced so directly in favour of private greed and petty finance. It would seem to be clear, therefore, that a tax that is not levied proportionally or, what is the same thing, equally and uniformly upon all subjects in the same field of competition--as, for example, upon all persons engaged in the same business or profession, or upon all property of the same kind and all profit or income (less exemptions in...

Book Description
Excerpt from Principles of Rational Taxation Assuming this theory of taxation to have some degree of truth, the question naturally arises what application can be made of it in forming a better system of taxation. A theory is of little value if it does not furnish a guide to the solution of some practical difficulties. Of course in the application of this theory to practice it must be modified by the many conflicting causes which become prominent in the world about us, yet the leading characteristics of the new system of taxation ought to become manifest from the development of the theory alone.
