Widens Tax Field

IN A to 2 decision of far reach
l ing implications, sweeping aside
more than century of precedents,
the United States Supreme court
held that income from leases of
state school lands is not immune
from federal taxation.
Justice Pierce Butler, dissenting
with Justice James Clark Mercy
nolds, said it was impossible to
foresee the extent to which the
courts opinion upsets the long set
tied principle of reciprocal tax i'm
munity in our dual system of gov
eminent.
The decision was the latest of a
series in which the Supreme court
has greatly narrowed the field of
reciprocal tax immunity.
