Farm Bureau Makes
Preliminary Report
On The Income Tax
Considerable Revenue May Be
Obtained If State Adopted
Law, Study Reveals

A preliminary report on the amount
of revenue the State of Maryland
might expect from state income tax
has just been made public by the
Maryland Farm Bureau Federation.
This study was undertaken at the in
stance of a joint committee of the
Maryland State Grange and the Farm
Bureau who are advocating a state
income tax as means of reducing
what the committee considers a "too
serious burden on real estate
"One of the objections raised against
state income taxation" the report
reads, sis that under present condi-
tons it is a poor measure for pro-
viding revenue. The fact remains,
however," the reports continues, "that
individuals in the State of Maryland
do have net incomes sufficient to pro-
vide considerable state revenue if the
State of Maryland were to adopt in
come-tax legislation similar to laws
enacted in nearby states"
The report goes on to show that
Federal income-tax collections from
individuals in Maryland were $10,026,-
O76 for the fiscal year ending June
3Oth, 1882; $9,14s,S79 for 1893; and
that for the year ending June 30th
1884, they are estimated to reach
$9,5OO,OOO.
Preliminary deductions, according
to the report, point to the probability
that if Maryland had State Individ-
ual Income Tax Law similar to that
of Virginia, its revenue from that
source for the year ending in 1894
would have amounted to 100000. If
the law were similar to that in North
Carolina, the revenue would have been
approximately $2,500,000.

Rockville A. C. Takes On
Business Men Saturday

The Rockville ball club, in need of
same practice before again meeting
Colesville and Gaithersburg, will meet
the local Business Mems nine at
Welsh Field on Saturday. While the
pets Of Gene Gingell should easily
annex the engagement, it is probable,
if Roger Bean feels his oats, that
the game may prove interesting.
Rockville will furnish a strong
lineup, such as usually is placed on
the field on Saturday. The Business
Men will rely mainly upon the same
lineup which defeated the Rockville
Volunteer Fire Department two Sun
days ago. Bean will start on the
hill, with Shocks Harris behind the
bat. George Boise will be held in
reserve and if necessary Howes may
take the mound. Percy Edmonston
will play third base. Short will be
held down by Pete Ramsdell. Sam
Keys will be found at second and
Howes will start at first base. The
outfeld will comprise Harry Daw-
son, Joe Dawson, Barrett, Youngman
and others.
