Money on Income Tax Refunds

Navajos Praise
U.S. Indian Com.
Glenn Emmons
SANTA FE, N.M., UP — The
admiAistration of U. S. Indian
Commissioner Glenn Emmons
was highly praised here by chair
man Paul Jones of the Navajo
Tribal Council.
Jones also assailed the National
Congress of American Indians for
what he called “injustice and par
tisan politics” in refusing to en
dorse Emmons.
Jones made public a letter he
wrote to Joseph R. Garry of Sait
Lake City, president of the NCAI.
He said he was deeply disap
pointed to hear that the NCAI
had refused to endorse the accom
plishments of Emmons.
"We of the Navajo tribe feel
that Commissioner Emmons has
done a great deal to bring into
his administration realistic ap
proach to the problem of Ameri
can Indians," Jones wrote. “He
has not announced any high
flown paper program which is de
ceiving to the American public or
to the Indian people, but rather
he has focused his attention on
a daily step-by-step attack on
specific problems . . .
“We cannot but feel that the
NCAI is playing politics, and that
it is prejudiced in its viewpoint
about the accomplishments of the
present administration.”
Jones said it is a tribute to
Emmons, a Gallup banker, that
he, a Republican, had obtained so
much money for new programs
from a Democratic Congress.
• JUNEAU — Territorial Tax
Commissioner Karl Dewey said
he will submit a proposal to the
next legislature which will save
the territory between $350,000
and $400,000 presently being paid
out each year in income tax re
funds to non-residents.
Dewey told the Juneau Kiwanis
Club his proposal would plug a
loophole in the Alaska income tax
law whicl\ enables seasonal, non
residents to recover every penny
withheld as income tax while they
are employed in Alaska.
Under the present law, Dewey
said, income tax exemptions for
non - residents are based on the
taxpayer’s total annual wages
earned in Alaska, which often
represents only a fraction of the
person’s total annual income.
Such persons often earn as much,
or more, in the States, Dewey
said, and this amount is not re
ported on their Alaskan income
tax return.
Dewey said he will propose a
change in the law which would
entitle the territory to an alloca
tion of the non-resident’s total
taxable income earned both in
Alaska and in the States.
He will also offer an alternative
proposal which would require the
non-resident taxpayer to list his
total deductions from which the
territory would claim one-twelfth
of that amount to cover income
earned in Alaska. Under this plan,
Dewey said, the taxpayer would
be required to file a copy of liis
federal tax return.
“Right now, we're paying out
about $600,000 in income tax re
funds,” Dewey said. “And be
tween $350,000 jmd $400,000 is
going to non - residents which I
believe the territory is entitled to
keep.”
