Income Tax In The United States Prior To The Sixteenth Amendment, William D. Wallace Oct 1980

Income Tax In The United States Prior To The Sixteenth Amendment, William D. Wallace

Accounting Historians Notebook

The issue of taxation has been the subject of debate since the establishment of the thirteen colonies. Citizens have consistently disapproved of being taxed (once to the extent of going to war about taxation, among other issues). To be taxed was viewed as being forced to give up a portion of the taxpayer's wealth. However, the philosophy stated by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. ("Taxes are the price we pay for civilization.") prevailed with the enactment of the Sixteenth Amendment in 1913.

Dr. Newlove And The Washington School Of Accountancy, Hans Johnson

Accounting Historians Notebook

What follows is a brief story of one such "night school." The Washington School of Accountancy, located in Washington, D.C. and affiliated with the Y.M.C.A., was in its heyday during the period 1919 to 1923. Prominent in its success was Dr. G. H. Newlove who was its Dean. The material for this story comes from a review of the School's Catalogs and from the recollections of Dr. G. H. Newlove himself.

Profile: William Holmes; William Holmes, Anthony T. Krzystofik

Accounting Historians Notebook

In May of 1979 William Holmes, a member of the Academy and member of the editorial board of the Accounting Historians Journal, passed away in Hingham, Massachusetts. The expression that one is "a gentleman and a scholar" is often loosely used and so that its appropriate significance is lost. However, in the case of William Holmes the expression is not only appropriate, but most deserving.

Reflections On International Research In Accounting: Vintage 1950, S. Paul Garner Mar 1980

Reflections On International Research In Accounting: Vintage 1950, S. Paul Garner

Accounting Historians Notebook

The principal purpose of this brief item is to furnish 1980 accounting researchers, now in generous number throughout the world, with a modest perspective on how far accounting research has come in slightly less than 30 years, based on the compilation of Professor Bray in his little booklet of 1952 and 1953. Evidently he had thought about the preparation of the Register for some years. He obviously also had to have a rather wide ranging correspondence and knowledge of accounting research in many countries, in order to undertake the writing of the manuscript for his printed work. As contrasted with …

Waltham System And Early American Textile Cost Accounting 1813-1848, David M. Porter Jan 1980

Waltham System And Early American Textile Cost Accounting 1813-1848, David M. Porter

Accounting Historians Journal

This study of the original accounting records of a pioneering American industrial enterprise narrows by one half the time lag between the earliest known English and American applications of industrial cost accounting. The research indicates that the precursors of the costing systems now considered essential tools of management were in use virtually from the beginning of large scale industry in America.


Frederick Winslow Taylor's Contributions To Accounting, Rosita S. Chen, Sheng-Der Pan Jan 1980

Frederick Winslow Taylor's Contributions To Accounting, Rosita S. Chen, Sheng-Der Pan

Accounting Historians Journal

Taylor's system of accounting was formulated in the 1880s, basically completed in the 1890s, and implemented in various manufacturing companies up until the 1920s. The rapid growth of business and the accompanying change in capital structure in this century led to an income-statement emphasized financial accounting system on the one hand, and a decision-oriented managerial accounting system on the other. In either system, some influence of Taylor's work is still discernable.


Public Accounting In 1929, Alan Peter Mayer-Sommer Jan 1980

Public Accounting In 1929, Alan Peter Mayer-Sommer

Accounting Historians Journal

Shortly before the beginning of the Great Depression, certified public accountants were struggling for both an acceptable definition of their role as well as professional recognition. This paper describes the environment in which CPAs worked as well as their concerns. Areas reviewed include training and entry into the field, ethical and legal standards, conduct of practice, financial rewards, professional concerns, and perceptions of the future. The purpose of the paper is to increase our appreciation of the challenges and opportunities facing CPAs in 1929.


Asset Valuation: An Historical Perspective, Thomas A. Racliffe, Paul Munter Jan 1980

Asset Valuation: An Historical Perspective, Thomas A. Racliffe, Paul Munter

Accounting Historians Journal

Asset valuation has been discussed in the accounting and economic literature for most of the twentieth century. In the literature, discussions ranged from advocating only historical costing to the use of current value accounting exclusively. This paper traces the development of theoretical and pragmatic discussions on the topic of asset valuation.


Frederick Winslow Taylor's Contributions To Cost Accounting, Rosita S. Chen, Sheng-Der Pan Jan 1980

Frederick Winslow Taylor's Contributions To Cost Accounting, Rosita S. Chen, Sheng-Der Pan

Accounting Historians Journal

This article is to introduce the cost accounting system that Frederick Winslow Taylor installed at the Tabor Manufacturing Company sometime in the 1890s. A comparative analysis between this system and Captain Henry Metcalfe's Cost of Manufactures is also made in order to investigate their sources and influences. It is concluded that Taylor was a pioneer in many aspects of cost accounting, but his most important contribution was the development of the managerial approach that paved the way for modern managerial accounting.


Partnership Accounting In A Nineteenth Century Merchant Banking House, Edwin J. Perkins, Sherry Levinson Jan 1980

Partnership Accounting In A Nineteenth Century Merchant Banking House, Edwin J. Perkins, Sherry Levinson

Accounting Historians Journal

This article focuses on the contents of two nineteenth-century letters which discuss the allocation of income among the partners of a leading Anglo-American merchant banking firm, the House of Brown. The writers debate alternative methods of valuing assets and determining yearly income. In addition, the handling of doubtful accounts and their subsequent collection is examined. In both letters the writers argue for the development of clearly defined accounting principles and consistency in applying them. These letters reveal that an unusually high degree of financial sophistication had emerged in the merchant banking field by the 1850s.
