Excerpt from The Impact of Federal Taxes Common prudence might dictate the postponement Of any book Of this sort until the war is over, and we can view in retrospect the wisdom Of the changes in the federal tax system enacted to meet the needs Of this greatest emergency. A scholar could delay his judgments, but in this case a legis lator and a businessman cannot. Taxes must be collected and paid day after day. A decision in Congress even to main ta1n the status quo will have great repercussions. A'determi nation to lower an exemption here; to increase a rate there; to add this new Victory tax or that spendings tax to the sys tem affects vitally the family and business lives Of millions Of people. Expediency and gross revenues produced are poor guides to fairness in taxation, even in wartime. The government owes it to itself to encourage citizens to produce to maxi mum capacity.'a badly designed tax system, however much it may yield, can be a serious brake on incentive. Ours, with the best intentions, IS beginning to function as a brake today. Hence, it is certainly worth while to consider, as best we can, how a fairer and more adequate tax system may be con structed which will be as little harmful as possible to the economy we fight to preserve.

Excerpt from The Federal Income Tax The taxation of income is a relatively new phenomenon in American fiscal life. Only within a decade has the Federal Constitution been amended SO as to make a national income tax possible; and this amendment came in the nick of time. It is appalling to think of the situation into which we should have been plunged had we not been in a position to aliment our revenues during the Great War from this source. The very newness, combined with the hugeness, of this fresh device has, however, naturally engendered all sorts of difficulties from which we are slowly trying to extricate ourselves.

This as sumption would command general agreement, and I would not quar rel with it. The committee has drawn up a long list of aspects of Federal taxation about which it is commonly claimed that something is wrong. These aspects of the tax system will be discussed by experts. The function of the contributors to the introductory section of this study is, as I see it, to suggest what might be wrong with the Federal tax system. What are the standards by which each of the numerous aspects of the tax system should be judged? What do we expect from the tax system that it may not be providing for us?

Excerpt from Federal Income Tax and Its Relation to Real Property Besides the necessity of keeping this volume within its present limited space, another consideration for limiting its size is based upon the desirability of placing this study in the hands of the Members of the Board before the end of the present year.
