	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Smoot Hawley Tariff
		The act was pioneered by Senator Reed Smoot, a Republican from Utah, and Representative Willis C. Hawley, a Republican from Oregon.
		Although the tariff act was passed after the stock-market Crash of 1929, many economic historians consider the political discussion leading up to the passing of the act as a factor in causing the crash and its eventual passage as a factor in deepening the Great Depression.
		The Revenue Act of 1861 proposed that there shall be levied, collected, and paid, upon annual income of every person residing in the U.S. whether derived from any kind of property, or from any professional trade, employment, or vocation carried on in the United States or elsewhere, or from...

	U.S. Treasury - Fact Sheet on the History of the U.S. Tax System
		The 1916 Act raised the lowest tax rate from 1 percent to 2 percent and raised the top rate to 15 percent on taxpayers with incomes in excess of $1.5 million.
		Another revenue act was passed in 1918, which hiked tax rates once again, this time raising the bottom rate to 6 percent and the top rate to 77 percent.
		Beyond the rates and revenues, however, another aspect about the income tax that changed was the increase in the number of income taxpayers from 4 million in 1939 to 43 million in 1945.

	Exploring WTO dispute settlement in US Anti-dumping Act 1916: An easy case?
		The text of the 1916 Act is a hybrid mixture of trade law and antitrust law elements.
		In 1997, Charlene Barshefsky, then U.S. Trade Representative, first stated that the 1916 Act was `grandfathered' under the Uruguay Rounds, which implies she believed the Act was an anti-dumping law subject to the WTO discipline, but she later retracted this statement.
		The legislative history of the 1916 Act shows that the Democratic majority in Congress at the time was both in disfavor of higher tariffs (and hence of the imposition of anti-dumping duties) and in favor of vigorous enforcement of antitrust laws.

	Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956: Creating the Interstate System
		Acting on a suggestion by Secretary of Treasury George Humphrey, Rep. Boggs included a provision that credited a revenue from highway user taxes to a Highway Trust Fund to be used for the highway program.
		The act prohibited the secretary from apportioning funds to any state permitting excessively large vehicles - those greater in size or weight than the limits specified in the latest AASHO policy or those legally permitted in a state on July 1, 1956, whichever were greater - to use the interstate highways.
		The 1956 act also resolved one of the most controversial issues by applying the Davis-Bacon Act to interstate construction projects, despite concerns that the cost of the projects would be increased.

		As the research documents, Congress was then forced to amend the Income Tax Act, to remove salaries, wages and compensation from the definition of taxable income, to outlaw the withholding of wages from the paychecks of citizens and to direct the Executive Department to refund all wages withheld.
		As the research clearly proves, the Brushaber decision prompted Congress to revise the 1913 Act, and via Section 25 of the Federal Income Tax Act of 1916 (amended in 1917), Congress declared that the "income" subject to the 1913 Act was not the same “income” to be taxed under the 1916 Act.
		This, it is argued by anonymous, is the reason that not a single federal income tax act since 1916 has ever mentioned the imposition of an un-apportioned direct “income” tax on the salaries, wages and compensation of citizens "at home," although the same acts repeatedly mention citizens abroad and particularly those in the insular possessions.

	Eisner v. Macomber
		In January, 1916, in order to readjust the capitalization, the board of directors decided to issue additional shares sufficient to constitute a stock dividend of 50 per cent of the outstanding stock, and to transfer from surplus account to capital stock account an amount equivalent to such issue.
		She was called upon to pay, and did pay under protest, a tax imposed under the Revenue Act of 1916, based upon a supposed income of $19,877 because of the new shares; and an appeal to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue having been disallowed, she brought action against the Collector to recover the tax.
		The Revenue Act of 1916, in so far as it imposes a tax upon the stockholder because of such dividend, contravenes the provisions of Article I, Section 2, clause 3, and Article I, Section 9, clause 4, of the Constitution, and to this extent is invalid notwithstanding the Sixteenth Amendment.

		The reasonable period of time for the United States to bring the Anti-Dumping Act of 1916 into conformity with the DSB recommendations and rulings was originally decided through arbitration pursuant to Article 21.3(c) of the Dispute Settlement Understanding (DSU), and was due to expire on 26 July 2001.
		However, the deterrent effect is an important qualitative element for the determination of the level of the nullification and impairment the EC is suffering by the existence of the 1916 Act.

		Congress responded in the Economic Recovery Act of 1981 with a newly-crafted deduction for a portion of the second income in a dual-income marriage.
		This deduction was quickly repealed in the Tax Reform Act of 1986 but replaced with broad tax relief in the form of increased standard deductions for married couples, reduced tax rates and a reduction in the progressivity of the tax brackets, all of which decreased the marriage penalty.
		Although the Married Women’s Property Acts, which were passed in the mid- to late-1800’s, modified the common law giving wives an independent right to acquire and own property, it was still the system under which the principle of coverture had developed.

	DOJ/Antitrust - International Guidelines
		The Revenue Act of 1916, better known as the Antidumping Act, 15 U.S.C. 71-74, is not an antitrust statute, but its subject matter is closely related to the antitrust rules regarding predation.
		Just as the acts of U.S. citizens in a foreign nation ordinarily are subject to the law of the country in which they occur, the acts of foreign citizens in the United States ordinarily are subject to U.S. law.
		For example, the Agencies will not challenge foreign acts of state if the facts and circumstances indicate that: (1) the specific conduct complained of is a public act of the sovereign, (2) the act was taken within the territorial jurisdiction of the sovereign, and (3) the matter is governmental, rather than commercial.

	USTR Criticizes WTO Ruling Against U.S. Revenue Act, 08/28
		U.S. Trade Representative Charlene Barshefsky says she disagrees with a ruling by the World Trade Organization (WTO) that antidumping provisions of the U.S. Revenue Act of 1916 are inconsistent with WTO global antidumping rules.
		The WTO dispute panel and appellate body "should not have assessed the 1916 Act under WTO antidumping rules, because it is more akin to an antitrust law than an antidumping law," Barshefsky said in a statement issued August 28.
		This provision is commonly referred to as the Antidumping Act of 1916, but despite its popular name, the 1916 Act is not the antidumping law under which the Import Administration of the Department of Commerce applies antidumping duties.

		The Appellate Body upheld the panel's findings that WTO antidumping rules are applicable to the 1916 Act and that the 1916 Act is inconsistent with these rules because the civil and criminal penalties provided for in the 1916 Act go beyond the responses which those rules authorize.

	Barnes, Richardson & Colburn \| News \| Overview \| WTO Appellate Ruling on Anti-Dumping Act of 1916
		The 1916 Act provides for civil and criminal proceedings, under certain circumstances, against importers selling foreign-produced goods in the United States at prices "substantially less" than prices for the same product in a relevant foreign market.
		The 1916 Act differs from the anti-dumping provisions of the US Tariff Act, which impose only offsetting duties, and which were not under discussion in this case.
		Japan likewise argued that the earlier Panel’s findings that "anti-dumping duties are the only permissible remedy to counteract dumping" was correct, noting that the text of Article VI:2 of the GATT 1994 and Article 18.1 of the Anti-Dumping Agreement unambiguously establish and confirm, respectively, that anti-dumping duties are the exclusive remedy for dumping.
