Southern Pacific Co. v. Lowe, 247 U.S. 330 (1918)

[Dale Eastman]

We must reject in this case, as we have rejected in cases arising under the Corporation Excise Tax Act of1909 (Doye v. Mitchell Brothers Co., ante, 179, and Hays v.Gauley Mountain Coal Co., ante, 189) the broad contention submitted in behalf of the Government that all receipts--everything that comes in-are income, within the proper definition of the term "gross income," and that the entire proceeds of a conversion of capital assets, in what ever form and under whatever circumstances accomplished, should be treated as gross income.
