SEPARATE INCOME |

Treadway Proposes to End
Method of Husband.an
Wife Returns.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The old congressional dispute over
the rights Of husbands and wives in
eight States to file separate income
tax returns was heralded yesterday
with q Republicans proposal of o
bill to do away with that "discrimina-
ton In favor Of the more well-to-do." /"
Representative Treadway Of Massa-
chusetts. ranking Republican of the
Ways and Means Committee, initiated
the move. He said it was designed to
remove the unfair income-tax ad-
vantage which taxpayers in the eight
so-called community property States
have over taxpayers in the other 40
States"
In Arizona, California, Idaho, Louis
lana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and
Washington, he said, a man with a
$4,000 income may assign half Of
that to his wife. Each then may file
separate returns on $1,000 income,
Since the rates increase with the
amount Of income, the total taxes
paid by the two In a community prop
erty State are lower. Treadway as
serted.
Furthermore, he argued, the change
in the law would provide $40 900 900 to
SAC, 900, 900 annually in new and need
ed revenue.
Representative Samuel Hill Demo-
craft Of Washington Immediately de-
Tended the system. In non-commun-
ity property States, he asserted, hus-
band may deed as much as 5000
worth of property to his wife each year
without paying gift taxes. Then the
wife, he continued, can make a sep
arate return that actually is in her
name.
