TAX EXEMPTIONS NOT SEEN FOR ALASKANS
OTHER THAN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYED
“I cannot hold out prospects of
Treasury support for a proposed
change in the law, “Under Secre
tary of the Treasury Folsom in
formed Delegate E. L. Bartlett
with reference to a possible re
vision of the tax law to give some
kind of partial exemption lor in
come earned in Alaska in recog
nition of the high cost of living
The question of tax exemptions
in the amount allowed federal
employees in Alaska where 25
percent cost-of-living allowance
is not subject to the payment of
income tax through a court de
cision of 1953 has been raised by
a number of Alaskans not work
ing for the federal government.
Late last year Secretary Folsom
met with Mayor Cyril A. Coyne
of Skagway, a number of union
officials and Delegate Bartlett on
the matter of a possible revision
which would allow all Alaskans
the same exemptions as received
by federal employees
In stating the belief of the Trea
sury Department “that it would
not be appropriate to try to give
special tax exemption as received
by federal employees.
In stating the belief of the Trea
sury Department “that it would
not be appropriate to try to give
special tax exemption for this
purpose” Secretary Folsom stated:
“The tax exemption of certain
government cost of living allow
ances does perhaps create an
awkward precendent and I can
understand your feeling and that
of Mayor Coyne and his associa
tes. However, I believe that the
tax exemption of the government
allowances was adopted as an al
ternative to higher gross allow
ances. For most people it seems
likely that pay scales over the
years have come to reflect the
living cost. Special tax exemp
tions under such circumstances
would thus not seem to be called
for. Even more important is the
fact that there are also great dif
ferences in the cost of living with
in the 48 states and any attempt
to give a differential tax treat
ment* based upon living cost
would appear Jo open the way to
endless controversy and adjust
ments.
“I was very glad to meet with
you and your associates and I
am sorry that I cannot hold out
prospects of Treasury support for
a proposed change in the law. I
appreciate the significance of the
problem to you but I do not see
how a solution can be fitted into
a sound general tax policy.”
