BILL TO TAX SALEKlEs SC.

SEcTIDN |, Be ii rnacicd by the GeHcr.
al oAssembly IF Moryland, That a tax for
the sums and in the manner hereinafter
mentioned, shall be raised and paid into
the Treasury of the Western Shore upon
all salaries, Except the salaries of the Judg
cs, and emoluments of any office created
or held by or und'r the constitution or
laws of this State; and by or under any
incorporation, institution or company,
incorporated by the said State, and upon
all salaries and emolumcnts received by
any person in the employment of any
PRISON, private association, firm, Company
or foreign incorporation Going business in
this State; and upon all professional in
come OF all professions, faculties and en-
ployments, and upon all profits arising
from the practice of all professions, tacul-
ties and employments excepting the liz
comes or profits Of clergymen accruing to
them as such. and the incomes arising
from all and singular, the property which
has been or which shall hereafter be
made taxable by law for the use of this
Slate) to be ascertained and rated by the
assessors in fair and equitable manner
as hereinafter provided for.
The above is the first section of an
Act of the Legislature, to lay tax on
salaries, emoluments, and profits" The
2nd section, states that the rate of taxa
ton shall be p per cent. and that it shall
not be levied on any sum less than five
hundred dollars. The remaining sections
contain the provisions for carrying the
law into effect.
If it were the profits arising from the
practice of professions, employments SC
that were to be taxed by this bill, it would
be a proper and just law; but as it is, il
plainly is unjust and injurious For in
stance wheel right and blacksmith, who
has several hands in his employ does an
amount of work which brings him in fou
thousand dollars, which sum is barely
sufficient to support his family, pay his
hands, buy his iron, his timber &c. with
out leaving him any richer at the end OF
the year, than at the beginning But ,hi,
law requires him to pay one hundred
dollars tax, which evidently is an oppres,
sion-an injurious and unjusttax on labou'.
Large manufacturers who do bushes,
amounting in year to $4,000, or $50,
900 dollars, will have an enormous tax tt
pay one that will; sweep away their pro-
hts. They cannot lay an additional price
: on the articles they manufacture, because
they have competitors out Of the state
who do not have this tax to pay. The
effect then will be to drive them out Of thu
stale--.o drive out labour and capital.
