Logan Morris
Logan Morris was a judge of the United States Board of Tax Appeals from 1925 to 1937.
Born in Logan, Utah, Morris was a Mormon missionary in Switzerland and Germany from 1911 to 1913, and then served as secretary to Senator Reed Smoot, moving to Washington, D.C., for that purpose in 1914, and receiving his law degree from the George Washington University in 1917. He served as an officer in the United States Army in World War I. Returning from the war, he was a clerk for the United States Senate Committee on Public Lands, and an attorney for various government agencies.
In 1921, President Warren G. Harding appointed Morris as a special attorney for the Bureau of Internal Revenue, and in 1925, President Calvin Coolidge appointed Morris to the newly formed Board of Tax Appeals. Morris served in that body for 12 years, including a four-year term as chief judge. Morris resigned from the Board of Tax Appeals in 1937 to enter private practice, and was succeeded by Clarence V. Opper.
Morris retired from the practice of law in 1963, and died at Washington Hospital Center at the age of 88.
