SURTAX RATES
HALVED IN
8 STATES
Old Spanish Property
Rules Make Burden
Less in West


Migration Of wealthy people to
eight community property States
for legal residence or sharp revi-
sion of the property laws Of other
States may result from the new
two hundred and fifty million dol
lars tax bill.
With American death duties"
and income taxes in some classes
now the highest in the world, tax
experts said the new policy may
cause far.reaching changes in H.
nance and industry.
In eight States - Louisiana,
Texas, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho,
New Mexico, Washington, and
California-the old Spanish law
that husband and wife share
equally in property is in effect.
Thus, when husband and wife
fife income tax returns they lille
them separately. If the income IS
large, the burden Of the surtax
rates, now reaching up to IS per
CENTS lesSened.
Cuts Estate Tax
The same is true Of estates,
tax experts say. Since husband
and wife own common property,
but one-half usually is subject to
estate tax when one Of them dies.
Dispatches announcing that
John j. Raskob. financier and
former Democratic national COM
mittee chairman, had established
legal residence in Nevada. aroused
keen interest among Congressional
tax experts.
While Mr.. Raskob presumably
established his residence in Ne
Vada because of his entrance into
the mining business, he also would
be subject to the community prop
erty law of that State.
Under present law person
with a $4,000 income would pay
$5,979 income tax. In a COM
munity property estate, with the
income split. saving of $2,80l
in taxes would be effected.
While the saving lessons on
larger estates and taxes, experts
say the difference might save the
business Of wealthy person.
Urge Community Plan
Congressional tax experts dis
closed that several Senators, after
voting for high estate and sur
taxes, said they would advise
their States to adopt the COM
munity property law.
Otherwise, they feared the
scores of wealthy successful busi-
ness people would move from
their States to one of the eight
community property States.
One of the great fears of
many big business men is that
their business and estate might
be destroyed by their sudden
death. with high taxes forcing
liquidation of their holdings.
One method of avoiding this
would be investment in tax-exempt
securities. Tax experts expect to
see a pronounced movement in
this direction.
Can't Be Upset
As a result of decisions Of the
Supreme Court, members of Con-
greSs from the community prop
erty States say that Congress can
not. constitutionally, upset their
system of property division.
A wholesale igration Of
wealthy people to the eight COM
munity property States or a revi-
sion of the property laws of other
States might force Congress to re-
duce the new high taxes, the ex-
pertS say.
