“…In a previous article, I found the Inspector General's claim that the IRS could not use names as an enforcement tool without merit. 312 Still, the IRS had no procedure in place detailing how to handle applications of organizations associated with one another through ideological ties. This left the IRS bereft of defenses in response to claims that it acted in a biased manner.…”

Critics are increasingly calling for Congress to remove charity regulation from the IRS. The critics are wrong. Congress should maintain charity regulation in the IRS. What is at stake is balancing power between the state, charity as civil society, and the economic order. In a well-balanced democracy, civil society maintains its independence from the state and the economic order. Removing charitable jurisdiction from the IRS would blind the IRS to dollars placed in the charitable sector increasing tax and political shelters and wealthy dominance of charities as civil society. A new agency without understanding of, or jurisdiction over, tax cannot act as the bulwark as can the IRS. The critics are right that both the states and the IRS are failing at charitable regulation. Ideally, Congress would allocate sufficient resources to the IRS. However, the long history of charity regulation shows that they are unwilling to allocate the resources to this endeavor. This, in fact, is a flaw of the proposals for a quasi-federal charitable regulatory agency. These proposals will not generate new funds but will instead spread scarce resources even thinner. Instead, Congress should acknowledge its unwillingness to adequately fund charity regulation and shrink the tax-exempt sector by removing the parts that have limited justification for charitable benefits, such as hospitals and private foundations.

“…Polymesoda caroliniana, the Carolina marsh clam, is a member of the predominantly freshwater Corbiculidae and its reported range is from Virginia to Texas (Andrews andcook 1951,TabbandMoore 1971,Olsen 1973,Olsen 1976, Duobinis-Gray and Hackney 1982, Hackney 1983, Hackney 1985a. Cold intolerance may be the primary factor limiting its northern distribution (Hackney 1985b). It is found in a wide variety of shallow water or intertidal habitats, including salt marshes, brackish marshes, open river shores, mud banks, rock crevices and peat bogs, and is often associated with the plants Spartina alternifora, Juncus roemerianus, Taxodium distichum and Rhizophora mangle (Andrews and Cook 1951, Tabb and Moore 1971, Olsen 1973, Olsen 1976, Duobinis-Gray and Hackney 1982, Hackney 1983, Hackney 1985a.…”

Horizontal starch gel electrophoresis was used to detect genetic variation at eight enzyme loci and five general protein loci in 11 populations of Polymesoda caroliniana from the Gulf of Mexico and south Atlantic coast of the U. S. Little variability was found between four of these populations along a salinity gradient in the Cape Fear Estuary, NC, and a regional trend was not observed in other populations along a latitudinal gradient. Heterogeneity analyses and dendrograms, both based on allele frequencies, suggest populations from the Gulf coast of Florida are genetically different from both a northern Gulf population (Mississippi) and Atlantic populations. The population from Mississippi was similar to populations from the Atlantic coast, all of which were similar. Heterozygosity in the 11 populations ranged between 8.11 and 28.0%, and the percentage of loci polymorphic between 37.5 and 71.4%. Populations conformed to Hardy-Weinberg expectations at greater than 95% of all loci assayed except glucose dehydrogenase, where only the populations from Fort Myers, FL, and Sapelo Island, GA, conformed to Hardy-Weinberg expectations. Electrophoretic pattems observed suggest P. caroliniana larvae are planktonic and effective at dispersal.
