Excerpt from Chapter 2 of "The Federal Zone: Cracking the Code
of Internal Revenue" now follows:
[begin excerpt]
Understanding the status of the parties to the Brushaber
case is essential to understanding both the outcome, and the
Treasury Decision which followed soon after the Supreme Court's
landmark ruling in the case. Frank R. Brushaber filed his
original Bill of Complaint on March 13, 1914, within a year after
Philander C. Knox declared the 16th Amendment to be the supreme
Law of the Land. Addressing the judges of the District Court of <--!!!
the United States for the Southern District of New York, <--!!!
Brushaber began his complaint as follows:
Frank R. Brushaber, a citizen of the State of New York and a
resident of the Borough of Brooklyn, in the City of New
York, brings this his bill against Union Pacific Railroad
Company, a corporation and citizen of the State of Utah,
having its executive office and a place of business in the
Borough of Manhattan, in the City of New York, and the
Southern District of New York, in his own behalf and on
behalf of any and all of the stockholders of the defendant
Union Pacific Railroad Company who may join in the
prosecution and contribute to the expenses of this suit.
[emphasis added]
Right from the beginning, Frank Brushaber made an important
statement of fact which remained unchallenged at every level in
the federal courts. He identified himself as a citizen of the
State of New York and a resident of the Borough of Brooklyn, in
the City of New York. He did not identify himself as a "United
States** citizen" or as a "resident of the United States**". He
indicated that he lived and worked in New York State, outside the
District of Columbia and outside any territory, possession or
enclave controlled by the Congress of the United States**.
"Enclaves" are areas within the 50 States which are "ceded" to
Congress by the acts of State Legislatures (e.g. military bases).
