Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Tenth Annual Conference: Under the Auspices of the National Tax Association, Held at Indianapolis, Indiana, August 28-31, 1916 The Indianapolis Conference marked an important milestone in the history of the National Tax Association. In holding its tenth annual conference our minds turned naturally to the appraisal of results accomplished and the forecasting of even better things for the future. The anniversary spirit likewise attracted the attention of all to the man whose farsighted vision and loyal efforts brought the National Tax Association into being and kept it alive during its early years. It was a pleasure and a privilege to do honor to our founder and first president, Allen Ripley Foote. Mr. Purdy, as temporary chairman at the first session, voiced the sentiments of the delegates so faithfully and so gracefully that no further word is needed here. The introduction to this anniversary volume would seem a fitting place to evaluate the association's work and accomplishment since its birth in 1907. This must be only a brief review of a record which is given the fuller attention it deserves by Mr. Foote in his address at the first session. The National Tax Association has not devoted itself to propaganda. It is essentially an educational movement. As such its influence must necessarily be indirect and its accomplishment often intangible. As we look back over the history of taxation during the past ten years, it is evident that progress has been made along many lines. No less evident is the fact that this progress owes much to the influence of the National Tax Association. Moreover, we must remember that the instrumentality we furnish is one of ideas - written and spoken - and of personal contact. Even when direct results cannot be affirmed, who can deny that the acquaintanceship developed through the conferences, ripening as they have done into correspondence, comparison of ideas, experimentation, etc., have been a very active agency in the improvements noticeable in these years?
