DC. Throws in Sponge
In 20-Yeor Tax StruoqIe

The District threw in the
sponge last week on tax tussle
that had been going on for 20
years.
In 1887, the Capital, under
orders from Congress. began COLI
llecting a percentage Of the gross
receipts Of Washington busi-
nesses.
Under the law. whether q
businessman made a profit made
no difference. He had to pay up.
The levy, ironically, was called
a business privilege tax"
Businessmen didn't think
much Of the privilege. After two
years. Congress obligingly killed
the unpopular statute.
But some businessmen had
regarded the short Lived law so
poorly they never paid II any
heed even when It was in force.
When 1t went out. 1t left around
81 million in delinquent ac-
counts.
