- Is The Tariff Idea in the public domain?
- Believed so. US works published between 1932 and 1963 kept copyright past 28 years only if someone filed a renewal, and no renewal for this work was found in the Catalog of Copyright Entries. That is a search result rather than a legal opinion: a renewal filed under a shortened title or a different claimant would not have been found. Some copies carry a rights notice, which records the original claim and does not extend a term that lapsed.
- Who wrote The Tariff Idea?
- W. M. Curtiss was an American author and advocate for free-market economics. He served as the executive secretary of the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE).
