Common Property
Bill to Governor
SALEM, March 6 (IP) The
senate passed, 17 to 13, yester
day and sent to' the governor a
bill to permit husband and wife
to choose to hold their prop
erty in common, enabling them
to file separate federal income
tax returns and thus save them
about $9,000,000 a year in fed
eral taxes.
The bill, however, would have
little effect on couples with an
income of less than $10,000 a
year.
The bill adopts a community
property system similar to those
of Washington and California.
