The two sisters, Jean and

IN TAX DECISION
Supreme Courts UNFOLDING of
Community Property Law to
Cost U. S. $100,000,O 900.

More than 500, 900, 900 in back taxes
will be lost to the Government through
a decision rendered yesterday by the
United States Supreme Court, which
held that income from community prop
erty in the States of Arizona, Louisiana,
Texas and Washington may be reported
for Federal taxation by the husband
and wife separately The controversy
before the court was rooted in ancient
Spanish law.
1t was a sweeping defeat for the Gov
eminent. which had contended such In
come must be reported in a single re-
turn by the husband alone.
Back Taxes Involved.
1t had pointed out that with the tax
rate increasing in proportion to the ex-
tent of income, its revenue would be
much greater under the single return.
If 1t had won, Government attorneys
said. the Treasury would be more than
Sl0O,0O0,000 richer through the collec-
ton of back taxes, filed in previous
years by husband and wife separately.
The court ruled in an opinion by
Justice Roberts, his first since his APP
pointment to the bench, that in COM
munity property States whose laws give
the wife a vested interest in the income
from this source she is entitled to make
out her own income tax return.
California Law Different.
1t made no difference, Roberts said,
that the husband had management of
the property. The Government had no
sound basis, he said. for its contention
that where the property was under the
husbands control he must file one re-
turn for the total income.
He referred to a former decicion In
which the community tax law of Cali
fornia was construed to permit the
Government to impose a tax on the
total income reported only by the hus-
band.
Such a conclusion was necessary In
that State, Justice Roberts explained,
because in California the wife's interest
in community property Is merely ex-
pectant and not vested.
The community property laws, preva-
lent over much of the Southwest, were
derived from old Spanish statutes once
in force there.
