TAX EXEMPTION UNDER FIRE OF STATE OFFICIAL

Supreme Court Decisions to Blame, Jackson Says In Statement.

Attacking exemption from Fed« eral and state employees, Clarence A. Jackson, Gross Income Tax Division director, today blamed the Supreme Court for the situation. “The reason for this discrimination is that the Supreme Court has declared unconstitutional the actions of states attempting to impose .any burden on functions of the Federal Government through taxation,” he said. “The theory is that increased salaries might be necessitated and that the states might use the taxing system to influence or prohibit Federal action in certain fields,” he said. ! Mr. Jackson explained that all state, county, township and city officials in Indiana, including school teachers, firemen and policemen, pay the Indiana Gross Income tax. They are exempt from Federal income tax, he said.

Exemption Unequitable, View

Most tax officials consider the exemption from income tax an unequitable situation, according to Mr. Jackson. There is no reason why State officials should not pay Federal net Income tax and those working for the Federal government should pay the State tax if they live in Indiana, he said. - Congressional action on this would be in line with national policies to broaden the tax base, the official said. 3 Those who have been excused from paying their just share should be brought into the tax fold before the burden is increased upon those Who are now paying most of the bill, he concluded. ~ Mr. Jackson's explanation came In answer to numerous letters re ceived by department criticis-\ ing the exemptions.
