 U.S. Senator Russ Feingold on the Hardrock Depletion Act   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The Revenue Act of 1926 established percentage depletion much in its present form for oil and gas.
The percentage depletion allowance was then extended to metal mines, coal, and other hardrock minerals by the Revenue Act of 1932, and has been adjusted several times since.
One fourth of the revenue raised by the bill, or approximately $120 million dollars, would be deposited into an interest bearing fund in the Treasury to be used to clean up abandoned hardrock mines in states that are subject to the 1872 Mining Law.

 Tax Revision Studies, 1937: Volume V (cont.)
The main purpose of the crediting provision of the Federal Revenue Act of 1926 was to equalize the tax burden of the death duties between the various States.
Partly as a result of variations in tax burdens but primarily because of interstate variations in taxable wealth, the significance of death taxes in the revenue structures of the various States is in no sense uniform.
The proposals for the modification of the present crediting provision have been generally prompted by the conviction that the amount of revenue currently derived by States from death taxes is insufficient.

In the Revenue Act of 1921, Congress provided that contributions by an employer to a stock bonus or profit sharing plan are deductible by the employer and not taxable until the amounts contributed are distributed or made available to the employee.

Thus, section 3173-- which has been re-enacted repeatedly in every major revenue act, and remains the law today-- ensures harmony between the federal taxing power and the rest of the Constitution, just as did its precursor, section 93 of the Revenue Act of 1862, which expressed the same principles even more clearly:
And to this end he may there exercise all the authority which he might lawfully exercise in the district for which he was commissioned.
Otherwise, such Americans are legally invisible to the government insofar as the tax structure is concerned, meaning that the apparent paradox cannot arise in the first place.

 TIME.com: The Bill Is Signed -- Mar. 8, 1926 -- Page 1
Instead there came into existence the "Revenue Act of 1926", for the tax reduction bill in the form in which it had been issued by the Joint Conference Committee (TIME, March 1) was transformed into a law without alterations.
So it was done and Senator Smoot and Representative Green carried off the two pens used by the President in signing, and the Treasury set about estimating the amount of income it could expect in the next few years.
In spite of the large reduction in taxes the Treasury hopes for a surplus of $67,000,000 for the fiscal year (1926) ending next June and for a surplus of $11,000,000 at the end of the following fiscal year in June 1927.

The House-passed version of the Revenue Act of 1942 would have repealed section 116(a)(1) in its entirety, but the Senate Finance Committee urged that repeal would work hardship on Americans working abroad and successfully argued in favor of retaining the exclusion. Again, in 1951, the House attempted to repeal the exclusion.
The major changes introduced by the 1981 Act were: (1) the upper limit on excludible foreign earned income was increased to $75,000 for 1982, with further $5,000 annual increases until it reached $95,000 in 1986; (2) the foreign presence requirement was shortened to 12 months; and (3) the exclusion for foreign housing costs was introduced.
Worse, the changes have been backdated to the start of this year. Another article in the Wall Street Journal noted that a number of corporations were considering reductions in the numbers of American employees working overseas because of the impact of the new tax rules. There has also been a legislative response to the amendments.
