SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN, Massachusetts, February 4, 1913

• 16th Amendment ratified
• Income tax in the United States starts

This 16 page newspaper one column headlines on the front page that include: "INCOME TAX RATIFIED", "THREE LEGISLATURES ACT", "EXPECTED TO RAISE $100,000,000" and more. Other news of the day. Usual browning with some margin wear and tear, otherwise good. Should be handled with care.

wikipedia notes: The federal government of the United States imposes a progressive tax on the taxable income of individuals, partnerships, companies, corporations, trusts, decedents' estates, and certain bankruptcy estates. Some state and municipal governments also impose income taxes. The first Federal income tax was imposed (under Article I, section 8, clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution) during the Civil War, then again in the 1890s, and again after the Sixteenth Amendment was ratified in 1913.
