1937 Secretary Morgenthau seeks changes to close tax loopholes Type 1 Photo

Description: HARRIS AND EWING PHOTOS D-1721 TREASURY HEAD ASKS CHANGES TO PLUG TAX LEAKS WASHINGTON, D.C. JUNE 17—WHILE THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT IS TEMPORARILY WITHHOLDING THE NAMES OF ALLEGED TAX DODGERS, SECRETARY MORGENTHAU APPEARED BEFORE A JOINT CONGRESSIONAL TAX COMMITTEE TODAY TO RECOMMEND IMMEDIATE LEGISLATIVE ENACTMENTS TO CLOSE LOOPHOLES IN THE FEDERAL TAX LAWS. IN THE PHOTOGRAPH, LEFT TO RIGHT: ROSWELL MAGILL, UNDERSECRETARY OF THE TREASURY; SECRETARY MORGENTHAU; REP. ROBERT L. DOUGHTON OF NORTH CAROLINA; AND SENATOR PAT HARRISON OF MISSISSIPPI. 6/17/37 This photograph captures a critical moment during a congressional hearing where Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. presented recommendations to a joint congressional tax committee. The aim was to address and close loopholes in federal tax laws, thereby reducing tax evasion and avoidance. Morgenthau's testimony, supported by other key figures such as Undersecretary Roswell Magill, Rep. Robert L. Doughton, and Senator Pat Harrison, reflects the administration's efforts to strengthen the tax system and ensure fiscal responsibility. === This 7x8.5” original type 1 photograph is from the personal collection of photographer Wes Howland (1906-1956). Howland was a reporter with the Harris-Ewing news service in Washington D.C from 1931-1941, and went on to serve with the military. He was one of a small number of photographers with complete access to the White House, Capitol, Senate, and House. This photo was part of a collection of over 1200 8x10” Wes Howland personal archive images that we acquired from his estate. These original prints are exceptionally rare. Not only did Mr Howland have incredible access to the government figures of the day, but he was a highly skilled photographer who produced some stunning historical images and documented Washington D.C. in the 1930s like few others.
