STATE INCOME TAX

Revision Commission Con.

May Result.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The star.
BALTIMORE, December 3.-Legis-
lation providing for a state income
tax is considered likely to be pro-
posed at the next session of the gem
eral assembly.
Pursuant to an act Of the last
legislature. Gov. Ritchic appointed a
tax revision commission to submit q
draft Of general system OF taxa
ton for the state, and the commits
sion Is to report at an early date.
In the preliminary report submitted
several months ago the commission
indicated that the matter Of a state
income tax was receiving attention
1t pointed out states which have such
taxes and suggested that the ques.
tion deserved serious consideration.
The committee on agricultural pro-
gram makes certain suggestions for
the consideration of the tax revision
commission Among these sugEes-
GUns are:
That thr major portion OF all taxa
ton pc placed upon the basis OF in
come-yie. ding power. that all per-
sons eaInfully employed contribute
toward the maintenance of govern
ment.
See Income Tax Leaning.
These two recommendations have
been construed by important state
officials as an indication that the
agricultural committee has leanings
toward an income tax. This commit
tee Is q large one and upon II are
representatives OF the various agri-
cultural associations.
The preliminary report of the tax
revision commission occasioned some
discussion as to the advisability OF
a state income tax. The tax was in
dorsed ''in principle" BY a number
of influential persons. practical busi-
ness men and fnanciers, but they
hesitate to advocate its application
in Maryland.
One OF the iniquities OF the present
scheme OF taxation, especially In a
city like Baltimore, where the per-
centage Of home owners IS large. is
that the poor man is Ia xed upon his
debts, some of those discussing the
subject have urged. a wage Garner.
they say, buys two-story house.
He buys II. iq all probability, subject
to a ground rent and through a
building association. His equity in
the property, they point out. is slight
at first. Most Of the leasehold value
OF the property represents a debt
rent represents a continuing obli-
cation, unless II should be redeemed.
Yet the nominal owner OF the prop
erty. they say. is taxed not on his
equity in the property. but on its as
sessed valuation, in addition to which
he must pay the interest charges on
the Indebtedness and the ground rent.
