[edit] Merger from Underwood Tariff to Revenue Act of 1913
The Underwood Tariff was part of the Revenue Act of 1913. They are similar in scope and neither article is very long. Therefore, I suggest they be merged together under Revenue Act of 1913, with the Tariff becoming a section of it. —Markles 19:59, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
I agree. Also, there is an article called Underwood Simmons tariff of 1913 that needs to be merged into this article as well. Yours, Famspear 20:28, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
I made a few minor edits and deleted the cryptic reference to the "disaster" regarding the 1894 tariff. Few people other than tax geeks like me or historians are going to have a clue as to what that was all about (I assume the writer was talking about the Supreme Court decision in a case called Pollock). I will try to re-add the material later, with an explanation. Yours, Famspear 21:16, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Ratification of Sixteenth Amendment
Dear readers: An editor inserted a statement to the effect that only 36 states had ratified the 16th Amendment by 1913, with an incomplete cite to some sort of Treasury Department fact sheet. I reverted the edit. According to the official publication of the United States Constitution by the United States Government Printing Office at[1], a total of 42 states had ratified by the middle of March 1913.
