Excerpt from The Law of Unincorporated Associations and Similar Relations The development of the law Of corporations was the overshadowing feature of legal history in this country in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. It was accompanied by an unreasoning public hostility to corporations which bore fruit in the imposition of taxes and regulations by Legislatures which in many cases have seriously impaired the efficiency of this form of organization for cooperative business enter prise. One Of the most striking features of the recent decisions of the Courts is the evidence that business men are reverting to unincorporated associations to carry out their purposes. Owing to peculiar local restrictions on corporations these associations have been more largely used and more highly developed in Massachusetts than elsewhere. To them the lawyers of other states are now turning for relief. These asso ciations are organized under the terms of elaborate trust deeds and resemble closely the important fea tures of corporations. The law on many of the most important questions raised by these instruments is still in the making. Some attempt at classification seems urgently needed if only as a basis for criticism and future development.

Underwriting syndicates are another kind of unincorporated cooperative organization dealing with financial operations of vast importance.

Black, Henry Campbell. A Treatise on the Law of Income Taxation under Federal and State Laws. Kansas City: Vernon Law Book Co., 1913. xlii, 403 pp. Reprinted 2002 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN 1-58477-237-9. Cloth. $85. * In 1913, the Sixteenth Amendment, which authorized income taxation, was ratified by the required three-fourths majority of states. Black [1860-1927] published this work soon after this historic event in order to define the nature of taxable income, explain the history of income taxation and defend the government's right to impose it. He is guided throughout by a Progressive-Era belief in the federal government as an agent of social reform. Black is also the author of the well-known Law Dictionary.
