Privilege Now

Only 9 States

Wives There Can Claim Half of Salary

In this dispatch, NEA Service’s authority on income tax tells how community property laws make it possible for people in nine states to pay less than the people in the rest of the nation,

By 8. BURTON HEATH NEA. Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Dec, 12.—Treas-

ury officials are working on a plan that would permit husbands and wives in all states to split their in-

come equally for income tax pur

poses. At present this can be done only in nine states and Hawaii, which have what are known as community property laws. General A Counsel Joseph J. O'Connell Jr, Porm mentioned this idea in a recent address before the California State Bar, Stanley 8. Surrey, tax legisla tive counsel of the treasury, discussed it a few days later before the American Institute of Accountants, meeting in Atlantic City. Action Seen Ahead

Nothing will be done immediately. The new Republican control over congress places initiative in tax matters in G. O. P. hands, and there is every indication that the new congress will devote its first attention to an across-the-board personal income tax cut which would only be delayed by tinkering with the details. But there is a feeling that, before too long, something will be done to give residents of the other states the privilege not confined to those of Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisfana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Washington and Hawali,

Divide Income

There the wife has a half right to anything belonging to her husband, and he has a half right to anything of his wife's. As a result, the wife, claim, and report for taxation, half of her husband's income. This is not important in the lower fhcome brackets, But once the taxable income exceeds $2000, after deductions and personal exemptions, it can result in substantia] savings. In most states a man with an in-

Formerly vocalist on the Saturday Canteen show over WFBM, Mr, Berry appeared Tuesday evening with the Krupa band on the Circle stage, winning three curtain calls and the immediate offer of a contract. A graduate of Broad Ripple high school and letter man in track and boxing, Mr. Berry gained experience in three consecutive years with the Broad Ripple annual “Ripples” variety show. He is a veteran of 15 months’ service in the navy, 10 months overseas.

Big 4 Prepares For Adjournment

Satellite Treaties Done; Reich Work Started

By R. H. SHACKFORD United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 12—The Big Four called what it hoped would be its last meeting in New York today. In session here since Nov. 4, the delegates will attempt to complete the long-delayed first phase of peace making, and then go home for Christmas. The next meeting of the group will be in Moscow March 10 when they start the more difficult task of writing German and Austrian peace treaties. The way for adjournment here was prepared yesterday when the Big Four: ONE: Agreed to appoint special deputies for Germany and for Austria to meet in London Jan. 10 and begin hearing the views of the little United Nations in advance of the Moscow Big Four meeting. TWO: Decided to sign the treat-. ties for Italy, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria and Finland—completed on all major issues—in Paris on Feb. 10. Special representatives of the foreign ministers will do the signing. THREE: Agreed upon a six-point

come of $20,000 after deductions but before exemptions, having a wife but no dependents, would pay a tax of $6393.50. In any of ‘the community property states mentioned, this man and his wife can split his income and pay a tax of $2346.50 each—or only $4693 for both, a saving of $1699.50. Unfairness Recognized

For several years, the unfairness of letting some taxpayers do what others cannot has been recognized.

Several attempts have been made to-eliminate -the-difference.--One would have required husbands and wives to file joint returns. This was beaten by charges that such a law would reduce women to slavery, would break up homes, and would encourage divorce.

So the thought now is to approach the problem from the other direction. Instead of taking the privilege away from residents of community property states, it would be extended to taxpayers in the other states.

As Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Surrey have outlined the idea, a husband and wife living together would total their income, divide it in half, and compute the tax on the basis of one exemption. That tax then would be doubled. Presumably, though this was not mentioned, provision would be made for handling the exemtpions for dependents. It is estimated that if such a provision were introduced without any offset through increased tax rates, it would cost the federal treasury around $1 billion a year. There is potential criticism on two other scores. One is that such a change would constitute a tax reduction for those above the lower incomes, but not for families with less than $2000 of taxable income after deductions and exemptions. The other is that single persons would not benefit, But these flaws, it is pointed out, could be balanced by compensating provisions for the lower incomes and for single persons. : And thus far, no way other than this has been found to deal at the same time with two existing discriminations: obi ite ONE; That between married couples in the 10 community property areas and in the rest of the states; and . TWO: In non-community property states, the discrimination between families who depend principally upon the husband's wages— and cannot split those—and families with investments who by gifts, joint tenancies, family trusts, and similar devices, do succeed in splitting their Joint incomes and lowering their taxes,
