Just over 100 years ago the
first income tax in American
history went into effect with a
provision now being kicked
around in Congress as if 1t were
brand new and unthinkable.
This act Of July /, 1862
among other things-called for
withholding a tax on dividends
and interest paid out by banks,
trust companies, railroads, saw
ings institutions and insur-
ance companies.
And the Supreme Court in
1881. by a unanimous decision,
declared this act constitutional
But now when President Ken
nedy asks Congress to approve
a Withholding tax on dividends
and interest-as part Of a gen.
eral tax revision to close loop
holes in the tax laws-there is
fiery opposition.
Act Forgotten
Nobody on either side seems
to remember that act of 1862
which provided for what Mr..
Kennedy is asking now. But
that law of a century ago
should be an eye-opener to
those who think some of the
main features of the present
tax system are of recent origin.
1t was a graduated income
tax. Then, as now, the first
5000 OF income was exempt.
Then the tax was 3 per cent
on income between $500 and

AS a result of it's investment
policies and its financial rela-
tionShips with coal companies,
the union has been accused of
a conflict of interest.
In 1861 a Federal court found
the UNIV guilty of conspiracy
under the antitrust laws. The
court held that the union and
nine coal companies had con-
spired to drive small mines in
Tennessee out of business. This
verdict has been appealed.

War. 1t also imposed a TAX on
inheritance over $1,000.
Congress passed the 1852 act
as one more way to pay for the
Civil War. The greatest reve-

like tariffs. There was a lot
Of cheating then, too, and
gripes about the complicated
tax forms.
Congress abolished this whole
tax measure in 1872 under pres
sure from business during
President Grants administra-
ton. In 10 years it brought
the Government about 1915
million. The revenue from
other taxes ran to about SIS
billion in the same time.
Still, in a landmark case, the
act was challenged in 1866 by
a lawyer who argued it wasn't
right to tax a lawyers income.
This stumbled through the
courts until in 1881 the Su-
preme Court told him he was
wrong.
Old Hat in England
Even in those days the idea
of an income tax wasn't revo-
lutionary. The British had
such a tax in 1903 in the strug-
gle with Napoleon. In this
country an income tax was pro-
posed in 1915 to pay for the
war with Britain but it was
never enacted.
