Book excerpt: Excerpt from Taxation and Social Reconstruction Now sound social reconstruction will demand the minimizing of friction in all departments of our social, political, and industrial life. In none of these departments is there so much needless fric tion as in the realm of taxation, and the direct cause is the repeated failure to distinguish between the nature of taxation, its incidence and its objects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Reconstruction The lectures composing this volume were delivered at the Fordham School of Social Service in the last two months of the year 1919 and the first two months of the year 1920. They were not written out beforehand, but were taken down by a stenographer, and revised by the author for publication. Owing to the manner in which it was composed, the book exhibits obvious crudities of style, but the belief is entertained that this defect is partially offset by the spontaneity and personal character of the discourse.

Download or read book Taxation in American States and Cities Classic Reprint written by Richard T. Ely and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Taxation in American States and Cities The present volume is not intended primarily for specialists, but for American citizens generally who are intelligent enough to appreciate the vast importance of the topic with which it deals. It is meant to be a popular work, but, it is hoped, in the better sense of the word. I have endeavored to keep the essential facts in mind, and to avoid all technical details which are not essential to an understanding of the main issues. The work is larger than I thought it would be as it is; and had I written an exhaustive treatise, such as I would have tried to write had my book been designed primarily for lawyers or political economists, it would have been necessary to publish four or five volumes instead of one. The specialist will then understand why much has been omitted which he would gladly have seen inserted. Perhaps the general reader will obtain an idea of the largeness of the subject of taxation in states and cities, when told that the bill itself presented by the Maryland Tax Commission to the legislature covered one hundred and twenty-one printed octavo pages. An adequate explanation of all parts of the bill would have required at least as many additional pages. A study of taxation is calculated to give one a rather pessimistic view of American laws, American institutions, and American character.

Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Civilization Taxation and Representation written by George Holloway and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civilization, Taxation, and Representation: Or Man's Social Position, Fiscal Responsibility, and Political Rights, Defined in Accordance With Natural Law There is no branch of study that affords so deep an interest to a reflective mind as the philosophy of civilization and yet there is no part of education so universally neglected. This perhaps, is attributable to the fact that the majority of students leave school in their youth; whilst philosophy is more especially the study of manhood. But this is not a sufficient reason why so great a majority of men should have entirely neglected this intellectual enjoyment, as education is generally continued after school days, and prolong ed more or less throughout life. The real cause is, probably, that Philosophers have generally so much to impart, that in detailing it they write huge volumes, which the majority of people are too busy to read. Some persons imagine that all philosophical subjects are necessarily dry, and uninteresting to the general public; but this is one of many popular delusions, for what can be more profitable to the mind than to know one's self, and to comprehend the natural development of civilized society? This knowledge is the standard by which the passing events of the world are estimated, so that what seems confusion to others, is perfect harmony to those who know something of the natural laws pertaining to civilization.

This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Taxation and National Income Indirect taxation antedates direct taxation. The latter form of compulsory contribution did not meet with popular favor in the early days. Its existence would have presupposed a Strong monarch or leader who could defy public sentiment. Only as democracy develops and public morality and civic responsibility grow is it found possible to introduce direct taxation. Recognition Of social duty Opens the way for a system Of taxation primarily based on one's property. At first levied in the form of poll or capitation tax, direct contributions were later exacted based on land, gross produce, and net produce. Finally, as modern economy emerges and the principle Of ability is accepted as the best criterion, a system Of taxation develops founded on the income Of individuals or legal entities. The latter Stage is only a recent phenomenon and marks the acceptance of those principles Of fiscal justice and equity Of which civilization boasts today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Taxation I have tried to be as simple as possible in stat ing the principles. I should like to make a state ment so plain that every voter could understand the meaning Of every word, phrase, sentence, and paragraph. Taxation is not, however, an easy matter. As a pamphlet on the subject said, in referring to a dinner Of mayors who passed a resolution on some phase Of it, Taxation is not to be mastered between the caviare and the coffee. Besides, an extremely simple statement is not always consistent with brevity, and I was writing primarily for men of affairs familiar with economic concepts and capable of grasping their import. Time is of the essence with them, and it was necessary to be brief. I have been as simple as I could be under the circumstances, and I be lieve the constant use of concrete illustrations will make the matter understandable to those who are not especially trained in economic thinking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays in Taxation This book was originally published in 1895, and the favor -with which it was received has rendered necessary a new edition every two or three years. Owing partly to the pressure of other occupations and partly to a shrinking from the arduous labor which would have been required to keep the' presentation up to date, these successive editions contained but slight changes. Now however, after the lapse of almost eighteen years, the progress of the world, both in fiscal facts and in economic theory, has been so marked as to render any further delay impossible if the book is to remain a half-way satisfactory interpretation of actual conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book The Incidence of Taxation Classic Reprint written by Benjamin Francis Conn Costelloe and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-19 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Incidence of Taxation What we are concerned with in the main statement, and, above all, what we are concerned with at this moment in London, is the canon of equality. That on any theory of government immense sums must, year by year, be raised for the public treasury, Imperial and local, and that these can only come, in the end, out of the pockets of some of the members of the community, - this is the given fact. Who ought to pay the bill, and in what share and form, is the problem. That the distribution of the charge as between all the free subjects of the State should be based upon a rule of equality, is the axiom from which all men start. What is equality for the purposes of taxation is the crux. That the rule of Adam Smith is not sufficient, and is not, indeed, correct even so far'as it goes, has been practically admitted by later economists, although no one, I think, has taken the trouble to work out an adequate formula. I shall not pretend to do so tonight: but, by way of contribution to the discussion, I shall try to set out some at least of the conditions on which the discovery of the ultimate canon must depend. The development which the principle has taken is curious. The theory is suggested at least as early as the old Poor Law of Elizabeth, when the subjects were expected to contribute to the expenses of the State concerning pauperism according to their ability. I shall have to consider presently, when I pass to the question of local rates, how these words were interpreted at the time and how oddly they changed their meaning afterwards. But the truth IS that no one has yet devised any satisfactory measure of the ability of each citizen to bear the common burden.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Taxation and Taxes in the United States Under the Internal Revenue System 1791-1895: An Historical Sketch of the Organization, Development, and Later Modification of Direct and Excise Taxation Under the Constitution The present essay is the development of an investiga tion begun some years ago of an unimportant portion of our Internal Revenue System. At that time the federal revenues were largely in excess of all current demands of the Treasury; and the policy of the party dominant in the councils of the nation seemed to be towards the gradual reduction, if not the permanent relinquishment, of all of the internal or excise taxes.
