State Not 10 Tax Bawly Houses

Austin Nov. 43 The Texas unemployment compensation commission does not regard prostitution or the conduct of bawdy houses as a type of business severed by state law which cuts up compensation payments for unemployment. Orville Carpenter, commission director, made that comment today in a story from the Sunday Light to the effect that federal social security agencies are collecting taxes from such persons and places. Carpenter explained how the federal agency would collect the tax without corresponding activity on the part of his agency, which is a part of the social security program. The taxpayer, he pointed out, is liable to the federal government for the full amount of social security tax for old age pension benefits and unemployment compensation. If no taxes are paid to the state agency, no exemption can be claimed. Should any taxpayer of this type prefer payment to the state agency in order to obtain the protection of unemployment compensation for top taxpayer's employees, the state agency would refuse to accept the proffered payments. REMEDY SEEN. The taxpayer's remedy likely would be a mandamus action against the state commission to force it to accept the taxes offered and to set up a department to furnish employment and benefits for unemployed prostitutes. The courts would decide whether prostitution is protected by the Social Security Act. The attorneys added that the state compensation setup would not be applicable unless the taxpayer employed as many as Balt employees during the year. The single prostitute would be regarded as an independent contractor, not covered.
