Washington An effort to
obtain enactment of legislation
to stop the censorship by tax
ation of the industry view
point on national, state and lo
cal issues is under way in Con
gress.
This serious public question
involves whether business con
cerns may take income tax de
ductions for their ordinary and
necessary business expenses
when these expenditures may
influence local, state or national
governmental issues.
The Internal Revenue Service
has issued regulations under
which business expenditures
may be questioned or disallow
ed because they are for “lobby
ing” or “propaganda” purposes.
These sweeping terms are not
defined in -the Internal Revenue
Regulations but have been used
to question such normal expens
es as advertising and communi
cations to employees, stockhold
ers or the public relating to a
firm’s position on a public (or
even a company) issue. The re
sult is that in many cases the
business taxpayer acts at his
peril in spending money to pro
tect or preserve his business.
The problem does not involve
solely—or even primarily—fed
eral legislation. Most business
concerns are likely to be more
seriously affected by—emd thus
likely to .take a more active in
terest in—matters that arise in
their own localities, such as
questions before city councils,
involving licensing and zoning,
bond issues, and the like.
Under the current regula
tions, salary costs or expenses
incurred in testifying or ex
pressing opinions on such issues j

could be questioned.
This philosophy turns the tax
laws from their revenue-raising
funotion into a device which
could mean censorship by tax
ation.
This method of censorship
-would constitute an extreme
hardship at any .time —but es
pecially so now when a massive
amount of legislation, which
could mean life or death to in
dustry, is awaiting action.
Rep. Boggs (D-La.) has led
the fight for congressional ac
tion and is the author of a
measure which would specifical
ly restore tax deductibility of
necessary business expenses for
legislative -purposes.
Similar legislation has been
introduced by nine other house
members—six Republicans and
three Democrats and by two
Senators Kerr of Oklahoma
and Hartke of Indiana, both
Democrats.
Advocates of free speech con
tend that these regulations must
be reversed by congressional ac
tion in order to assure industry
—and others—the right to ex
press their views on legislative
proposals vitally affecting the
future of business and of the
nation.
Supporters of the Boggs bill •
are urging that the House Waysj
and Means Committee approve
the measure as quickly as possi
ble so that there will be ample
time before adjournment for ac
tion by the' House itself and by
the Senate.
Last year the committee ap
proved the measure without
dissent—on July 1, but this was j
too late to permit any final ac
tion by Congress.
The 25-member committee, af
ter an intensive study of the
situation, reached this conclus
ion:
“If an expenditure is ordinary
and necessary to the conduct
of a taxpayer’s trade or busi
ness, and is lawful, it is unfair
for the deduction to be dis
allowed just because the ex
pense is incurred to influence
legislation.”
If this viewpoint becomes law,
it would remove a serious gag
on freedom of speech.
It would confirm the tradi
ditional understanding that the
right to petition Congress—ot

It has been generally accepted
also that Congress and other
legislative bodies cannot operate
in a vacuum—that the members
need to know what the people
favor and what they oppose.
