Malone's Opinion For Tax
A new income tax debate surfaces as Attorney General Malone asserts the Dean bill taxing income from property is constitutional. The existing Massachusetts law taxes $2000 plus income from trades or professions, while property income is currently exempt. The question of constitutionality was raised in the legislature's taxation committee.

Committee On Taxation
Double Taxation Under Constitutional Proportionality
The Attorney General discusses whether general income tax on property is constitutional if proportional and reasonable. He notes potential double taxation where property is taxed and its income taxed, but argues double taxation is only unconstitutional if it becomes disproportionate and burdensome. The issue hinges on whether an income tax can be framed as proportional and fair.
Property Tax Challenge Cited Against Income Tax
The text argues that taxing property as income is unconstitutional because property generating income bears a heavier burden than similar property without income. If a general income tax cannot be sustained as a tax on property, it probably cannot be sustained at all.
