Tax Problems Presented By The Tennessee Constitution, Eugene L. Parker Jr.
Tax Problems Presented By The Tennessee Constitution, Eugene L. Parker Jr.
Vanderbilt Law Review
Although the North Carolina Constitution of 1776 had no specific tax provision, the draftsmen of Tennessee's Constitution of 1796 initiated a standard which reflected the creed of the frontier. These pioneers thought that every free man should contribute something to the support of the government and those with more ability should contribute more. The ability of the citizen was measured by the quantity of land and the number of slaves, which provided roughly a fair differentiation. Everyone had a similar log cabin; one lot in a settlement was worth about the same as another; one cleared acre was the equal …

Taxation, James H. Wilson Jr.
Mercer Law Review
The decisions of the Georgia appellate courts and the legislative enactments of the General Assembly of Georgia during the period from June 1, 1949, to June 1, 1950, in the field of taxation reflect in large part the pressing need for thorough revision of the state's tax structure.
Basic Criteria For Distinguishing Revenue Charges From Capital Expenditures In Income Tax Computations, Abe L. Shugerman
Basic Criteria For Distinguishing Revenue Charges From Capital Expenditures In Income Tax Computations, Abe L. Shugerman
Michigan Law Review
In the sections that follow, every effort has been made to deduce the motivating philosophy behind the judicial decisions that have been rendered on this question. Courts, themselves, have never paused to prescribe any detailed criteria to be applied, but an examination of the opinions has revealed that consciously or unconsciously the courts have been moved by such basic criteria. Even though such criteria may not have been precisely designated, they have been present, they have been utilized, and interestingly enough, the courts have been amazingly consistent in their applications of these criteria.
The Taxable Income Of Cooperatives, Roswell Magill, Allen H. Merrill
The Taxable Income Of Cooperatives, Roswell Magill, Allen H. Merrill
Michigan Law Review
This article is a study of the exemption in section 101(12) of "farmers', fruit growers', or like associations organized and operated on a cooperative basis"; and, in particular, of the taxability of the income of such corporations. The basic question is, What is the taxable income of a cooperative, in the absence of statutory exemption or exemption by administrative ruling? Do such business corporations have an income from their businesses which in these days of revenue stringency should be taxed as other business income must be taxed?
Real Property-Tax Sales-Title Of Purchaser Of Land Subject To Easement, John J. Gaskell S.Ed.
Real Property-Tax Sales-Title Of Purchaser Of Land Subject To Easement, John J. Gaskell S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
In an action to enforce a lien for taxes on real property, the defendants counterclaimed, asking for a declaratory judgment as to whether a sale of real property for nonpayment of taxes extinguishes an easement with which the property is burdened. The easement was appurtenant to an adjoining parcel of land. Held, an easement appurtenant is not extinguished by sale of the servient tenement for nonpayment of taxes. District of Columbia v. Capital Mortgage & Title Co., Inc., (D.C. Cir. 1949) 84 F. Supp. 788.

Michigan Law Review
Respondent, having had experience as an executive of a large machine tool distributing company, went to Washington, D.C. in 1942 at the request of the Ordnance Department of the United States Army to assist in the efficient distribution of machine tools, serving in a civilian capacity without compensation.

Taxation-Stock Dividends As Income, Joseph G. Egan S.Ed.
Taxation-Stock Dividends As Income, Joseph G. Egan S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
X corporation had two classes of stock outstanding. The Class A stock was a preferred stock entitled to cumulative dividends and a liquidation preference. The Class B stock was a non-voting stock, entitled to an annual $2 dividend after payment of the dividend on the preferred. Both classes were entitled to participate equally (on a pro rata basis) in any dividends in excess of the two mentioned above. The corporation declared a stock dividend, entitling each Class A holder to one-half share of Class A stock for each share presently held, and each Class B holder to one-half share of …
Some Problems In Federal Question Jurisdiction, George B. Fraser, Jr.
Some Problems In Federal Question Jurisdiction, George B. Fraser, Jr.
Michigan Law Review
Congress has given the federal district courts original and removal jurisdiction of all civil actions arising under the Constitution or laws of the United States, but the power of these courts to hear such cases has been restricted by the Supreme Court of the United States. The Supreme Court holds that the district courts have jurisdiction of a case if a federal question is raised in the complaint, but jurisdiction cannot be based on a federal question in the answer. This means that the district courts are closed to many cases that involve a substantial federal issue, while many cases …

Taxation-Income Tax-Corporation Not Taxable On A Sale Of Property By Stockholders Following Genuine Liquidation Distribution, R. Lawrence Storms S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The stockholders of a closely held electric utility corporation offered to sell all the corporate stock to a cooperative competitor. The cooperative countered with an offer to buy a part of the corporation's physical assets. Hoping to avoid a heavy corporate capital gains tax, the stockholders caused the corporation to distribute to them in partial liquidation the property in question, and then executed the previously contemplated sale themselves. The commissioner assessed and collected a capital gains tax from the corporation which then sued and recovered the amount of the tax in the court of claims. On appeal, held, affirmed. …
Taxation--Income Tax-Effect Of Loss Carry--Back On Deficiency Assessment Interest Charges, William R. Worth S.Ed.
Taxation--Income Tax-Effect Of Loss Carry--Back On Deficiency Assessment Interest Charges, William R. Worth S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
In 1943 the Commissioner of Internal Revenue assessed deficiencies against respondent taxpayer in its 1941 income and excess profits taxes, adding interest from the date the tax was properly due to the assessment date. The taxpayer suffered a net operating loss in 1943 sufficient to abate completely all tax liability for 1941. When application for a refund of the amount paid and abatement of the deficiency was made, however, the commissioner deducted the interest assessed from the amount to be returned, claiming that the liability to pay interest on the deficiency was still outstanding. The district court held for the …
The Tax Consequences Of Family Parnerships, T. Baldwin Martin Jr.
The Tax Consequences Of Family Parnerships, T. Baldwin Martin Jr.
Mercer Law Review
The elements of family intimacy and tax reduction, which present themselves conveniently in the common law concepts of gifts, assignments, and trusts, have proven to be danger signs which herald the scrutiny of the Bureau of Internal Revenue and forecast probable tax disaster for the taxpayer. Normally and unavoidably, family partnerships have come to be categorized with these concepts, and the Bureau, in its efforts to protect the revenue, would, with the assistance of the Tax Court, thwart the effectiveness of these business units in a manner similar to the treatment accorded to the aforementioned concepts.
The Effect Of Renunciations And Compromises On Death And Gift Taxes, Walter E. Black Jr.
The Effect Of Renunciations And Compromises On Death And Gift Taxes, Walter E. Black Jr.
Vanderbilt Law Review
When a man dies, it must be decided how his property shall be distributed. Ordinarily, the distribution will follow his express intention as evidenced in a will or the presumed intention of the state laws of intestacy. In these ordinary situations, the state death tax is applied to the various legacies and devises and to the property passing by descent in the manner provided by the state tax statutes. Thus, the majority of testamentary distributions are carried out without any state death tax problems.
However, in some cases, events occur after the death of the decedent which change the testator's …

Freedom From Uncertainty In Income Tax Exemptions, Maurice Finkelstein
Freedom From Uncertainty In Income Tax Exemptions, Maurice Finkelstein
Michigan Law Review
Exemptions from obligations to government are as old as Scripture. It is not strange, therefore, that the public interest in humane government should dictate numerous exemptions from the income tax levy, particularly when one considers that the income tax has long ceased to be simply a revenue producing vehicle. The regulation of inflation or deflation, the control of corporate financial structures, the distribution of wealth, all these and many other concern of government have entered into the formula of our income tax laws. The selection of those who are to be benefited by the tax exemption is, of course, made …

Review Of Successful Tax Practice, By H. C. Bickford, John W. Reed
Review Of Successful Tax Practice, By H. C. Bickford, John W. Reed
Reviews
For some years now, those who came to the bar before federal taxes attained importance have been lamenting their unfamiliarity with the field and the consequent loss of clientele. Not a few clients have joined in the lament, often upon the stimulus of an unexpected and unnecessary tax bill. The bar is aware of the problem, and its attempts to meet it have ranged all the way from tax institutes for interested lawyers to cart-before-the-horse attempts to exclude non-lawyers from practice in the tax field. I suggest that Mr. Bickford's readable book is one of the most promising answers to …
