Press Bond Issue Before
Maryland Legislature

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 24.-With
other new sources of revenue re-
ceiving some consideration, it is
becoming clear here that State
administrations are looking with
more than ordinary favor on the
plan to slap 2 per cent tax on
pari-mutuel track winnings which,
on the basis of the 1882 betting,
would bring in an annual revenue
of 100000.
This tax, sponsored by William
C.. Walsh and contained in the
minority report Of the tax survey
commission, already has received
somewhat favorable c nm n t
from Governor Ritchie.
Bond Issue Favored
It is also becoming clear that
both Governor Ritchie and Mayor
jackson, Of Baltimore, will press
for q $4,000, 900 State bond issue
to relieve unemployment condi.
tions in Baltimore.
The special tax program, which
may be presented to the legiSla,
ture tomorrow night, will have
relief of the distressed and in
creased govern 1ent funds as a
dual objective.
The 10 per cent tax on amuse-
ment tickets, which has been pro.
posed, would yield $50O,000 an
>nually.
County Aid Seen
Governor Ri: lie believes a 10
per cent tax on to3acco products
and 20 per cent tax on soft drinks
and chewing gum would bring in
$2,0OO,O0O.
State leaders believe there will
be no difficulty in raising the
$4.500.000 minimum decided on
for relief Of unemployed and tax
payers.
The counties would get from

fers through additional taxes is
sbeing withheld by George w.
sKonig. of the first district until

: The plan proposes a tax of
$4,000 a day on race tracks in

The measure would affect Pimlico

Mr. Cntermger, in special report 20 MS board,

even than the proposals Of the recent Grimm NUM-

He demands a reduction Of about $500 in the
over-staffed departments, which are building up
waste in every department and bureau.
He thinks the Board Of Aldermen. the City

A sCATHING CRITICISM OF THIS STATES
CIVILIZATION

Dr. Archibald Henderson, who as head OF the de-
partment of mathematics. at the University Of
North Carolina has observed the trend Of educa-
ton in North Carolina for many years, believes
that "a real decline is registered in our attitude
toward education during this period of depression
He told members Of the Norfolk chapter Of the
University Of North Carolina alumni in address
at Norfolk last night that ''the minds of chill
dren and our youth are rated below our material
welfare" And Dr.. Henderson
was speaking directly of North Carolina.
Broken stone, asphalt, concrete are all ratei
vastly above aspiration ambition faith, hope zeal
and imagination he declared
That is scathing criticism Of civilization and
education in North Carolina Put one is inclined
to wonder whether, after ALL such criticism is not
deseryed-at least in part. In attempting to sal.
wage material comforts and conveniences from the
wreckage the depression has left, it would seer
that North Carolina has neglected to attempt ID
salvage its educational system. Indeed, on the
other hand there unfortunate indications that
this system is being allowed to sink still deeper
into the mire of disorder.
Even the ability to salvage and maintain ma
terial comforts and the convenences Of civilization
is dependent upon trained minds; and a time
when this salvage work is so essential is no time
to neglect the training of the minds of youth

Control Of Wheat

OTTAWA. Ont. Nov. g. up
Discussions as to the advisa5.!;-y
Of a processing tax on whea: have
been underway here between rep
resentatives Of the milling indus
try and government officials. Ne
gotiations have not YET been con-
Guided. and there i no indication
that the government il in any
way committed TO the policy.
Behind these discussions lies
the London wheat agreement and
the question of whether or not i
is necessary for a currailment OF
wheat production next year.
Hitherto the government has
been prepared TO allow nature 70
take It's course. II is well known
that the infestation OF millions Of
acres IF wheat land by grass
hoppers certainly will result in a
reduced crop. The proper remedy
is to pillow the land and leave il
during the summer months. II the
infested land is sown it is thought
certain that the grasshoppers will
destroy the crop.

Of a processing tax wherewith 70

pensation to individual farmers
for acreage reduction, the govern
ment has been canvassing the sit
uation. Il is understood that the

is regarded as probable that the

Sales Tax Division Yields
Big Stick; Court Action
May Reveal Name

RALEIGH, Nov. 23.-Thc sales
tax division 81 the department Of
revenue has cracked down for
the first time on a sales Ia:
evader By assessing an addit!ona!
tax Of s., 5G7.42 against one
firm after an audit made by the
sales tax division had disclosed
that the firm had not been pay
ing as much sales tax as II SHOULD
on the basis Of the business II
had been doing as shown by lis
books and invoices. Announce
ment tina. this assessment had
been levied against the firm was
made By Director Harry McMul-
Ian Of the sales tax division and
Commissioner of Revenue 4. J.
Maxwell.
The name Of the comPan?
against whom the additional as
sessment Of $5,567.42 was made
was not made public and will not
be unless it becomes necessary
to sue to recover the assessment.
Director Mcmillan said, since the
emergency revenue act, which
contains. the sales tax law, pro-
hibits the department Of revenue
from divulging any Of the data
contained in the report or return
Of any taxpayer. But if this
company pays the assessment IN
der protest and then sues 70 re-
cover the amount paid. the name
of the company will Of course be-
come public.
"The return of every merchant
is subject TO audit" McMu IN
said. and while reports are ac-
copied by the sales tax division
as filed BY the merchants, show
ing both the otal taxable sales
and the amount Of tax collected,
all of the returns are being care
fully and completely audited. to
see that the law is being observ-
ed uniformly bv all the mar-

chants in the state. Accordingly,
when a merchant is found whose
tax Is much smaller than his
volume OF business would indl-
cate. the law gives US the author
ity 10 assess an additional tax III
accordance with what his volume
OF business indicates ne should
pay
While this is the first time
large assessment has been made
against any one firm, Mcmillan
indicated that other assessments
have already been made against
merchants in smaller amounts.
He also said that these assess
.nents would continue % De made
whenever the amount Of tax paid
by any merchant was found TO be-
out Of line with the volume Of
business done as indicated by ri.
books and invoices.
Section Ala Of the emergency
revenue act provides that the de-
partment Of revenue may COM
pute the tax due, if there has
been any underpayment, and that
the amount Of this underpayment,
when " assessed against any mer-
chant, shall bear interest at the
rate Of one-half Of one per cent
per month. This section further
provides that if the deficiency in
the amount of tax paid was due
to negligence, but without any
intent to defraud the state,
penalty Of 10 per cent may be
added to the deficiency, the en-
tire amount to bear interest a
0ne-half Of one per cent.
But if it is found that the de
ficiency resulted deliberately and
with intent TO defraud the state,
the assessment may be increased
100 per cent as a penalty, the
entire amount to bear interesl
at the rate Of one per cent per
month.
Any merchant against whom an
is made may appeal
to the commissioner Of revenue
for a hearing and review Of his
case. But no merchant can sue
for recoveryof the assessment
until it has been paid. If a ner-
chant desires to bring suit, he
must make formal protest at the
time the assessment is made,
otherwise no suit for recovery
can be brought.
Indications are that all Of the
underpayments made 50 far by
merchants have resulted from i'm
proper understanding Of the Law
rather than from any deliberate
intent to defraud the state. Nc
Mullan said.
