Text | The Assessors of Internal Revenue are after the base ball fraternity, having notified them that they must take out a license, which is ten dollars a year; also pay two and a half per cent on the gross receipts. The treasurer must make his return once a month. In this it should be clearly understood that the Government does not tax sport–does not impose any burden on recreation–but only on the show business. Ball clubs get up matches as exhibitions, and charge a fee for the sight, and thus a ball company stands on the same level as any other company that entertains the public, so far as the tax-gatherer can see. |
