18 U.S.C. § 3285 — Criminal contempt

Page 756 TITLE 18—CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE § 3284 from its taxes, duties, or other sources, for the pay- ment of the national expenses.’’ Quoting United States v. Mayo (1813, Fed. Cas. No. 15,755) that ‘‘revenue laws’’ meant such laws ‘‘as are made for the direct and avowed purpose of creating revenue or public funds for the service of the Government.’’ Definition of revenue. ‘‘Revenue’’ is the income of a State, and the revenue of the Post Office Department, being raised by a tax on mailable matter conveyed in the mail, and which is disbursed in the public service, is as much a part of the income of the government as moneys collected for duties on imports (United States v. Bromley, 53 U.S. 88, 99, 13 L. Ed. 905). ‘‘Revenue’’ is the product or fruit of taxation. It mat- ters not in what form the power of taxation may be ex- ercised or to what subjects it may be applied, its exer- cise is intended to provide means for the support of the Government, and the means provided are necessarily to be regarded as the internal revenue. Duties upon im- ports are imposed for the same general object and, be- cause they are so imposed, the money thus produced is considered revenue, not because it is derived from any particular source (United States v. Wright, 1870, Fed. Cas. No. 16,770). ‘‘Revenue law’’ is defined as a law for direct object of imposing and collecting taxes, dues, imports, and ex- cises for government and its purposes (In re Mendenhall, D.C. Mont. 1935, 10 F. Supp. 122). Act Cong. March 2, 1799, ch. 22, 1 Stat. 627, regulating the collection of duties on imports, is a revenue law, within the meaning of act Cong. April 18, 1818, ch. 70, 3 Stat. 433, providing for the mode of suing for and re- covering penalties and forfeitures for violations
