PRELIMINARY REPORT ISSUED
ON INCOME TAX STUDY

A preliminary report on the
amount of revenue the State OF
MARYLAND might expect from state
income tax has just been made pub
lie by the Maryland Farm Bureau
Federation. This study was under
taken at the instance of joint COM
mittee of the Maryland State Grange
and the Farm Bureau who are advo-
eating a state income tax as means
of reducing what the committee con-
siders a ''too serious burden on real
estate.
Zone of the objections raised
against state income taxation" the
report reads, lis under present con-
ditions it is a poor measure for pro-
viding revenue. The fact remains,
however" the report continues,
chat individuals in the State of
Maryland do have net incomes suf-
ficient to provide considerable state
revenue if the State of Maryland
were to adopt income-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,f4S,S79 for
1898; and that for the year ending
June 3Oth, 1884, they are estimated
to reach $9,50O,0O0.
can examination of the percentage
distribution of net incmoes of indi-
viduals by size-groups of incomes
for the years 1890 and 81 indicates
that the range and distribution of
size groups that would fall within
the classes taxable at various rates
are approximately comparable
among the states of Virginia, North
Carolina and Maryland, but less COM
parable when Maryland is compared
with New York and Delaware" the
report states.
Preliminary deductions, according
to the report, point to the probable
ity that if Maryland had State In
dividual Income Tax Law similar TO
that of Virginia its revenue from
that source for the year ending in
1884 would have amounted to ST.
100000. If the law were similar to
that in North Carolina, the revenue
would have been approximately ST.
100000.
The resolutions which the Sta.e
Grange and tie farm Bureau com
mittee adopted also recommended an
upward revision of the state inheri-
lance tax. The committee felt that
the present burden of unemployment
relief may have to be borne for
longer period than many of us now
realize, and that plans should be laid
accordingly. In making these plans
it is recommended that the counties.
and Baltimore City be required to
provide their respective relief costs
aside from the contributions of the
federal government) by some means
of taxation other than general
property tax. Prompted by similar
views, twelve prominent Baltimore
ministers last Sunday advocated
plan OF state income taxes and
beayier Inheritance tax.

NEW RELIEF MOVE PLANNED
FOR MARYLAND
Program or Rural Rehabilitation TO
Be Started Soon - To Be FL
nanced BY Government

nanced BY Government
Plans for launching in Maryland
in the immediate future program
of rural rehabilitation, which will en-
tail the purchase of land, live stock
and farming equipment in an effort
to make the States farming popula-
ton self-supporting, has been an
nounced by Harry Greenstein, State
Relief Administrator.
The program is fostered by the
Federal Emergency Relief Admins
tration, and will be financed, MI.
Greenstein said, with special ear
marked funds to be supplied from
Washington, entirely aside from the
appropriations for general relief ac-
tivities.
1t will be administered in Mary
land by State director of rural re-
Mobilization, to be appointed within
a few days by Mr.. Greenstein. The
director will work in cooperation
with a State advisory rural rehabill-
tation committee and State rural
rehabilitation corporation which is
to be set up to negotiate such con-
tracts as the program will necessi-
tate.
Zone of the first steps," he said,
in outlining the program, will be tC
survey the situation in Maryland 10
find out how many clients in the
rural sections can be helped in con-
structive fashion. We expect tc
confine our efforts exclusively at the
start to the families now on the land
and at present relief clients-who
through the supplying of specia
equipment or live stock can be made
self-supporting."
The State Advisory rural rehabili
tation committee, he explained
would be drawn from the extension
bureau and the home economics di.
vision of the University of Mary
land, the county agricultural agents
and all other individuals with spec
ialized knowledge of agriculture.
Zone feature of the rural rehabili,
tation program" he added, twill be
the formation of corporation tc
consist of seven members, which will
include the State Relief Administers
tor, the director of the extension
bureau of the University of Mary
land, a representative of it's home
economics department, member Of
the State relief committee, field
representative of the FERA, the reg
ional adviser for the Federal rura
rehabilitation division and repre-
sentative of the Agricultural inter.
ests.
cts function will be to hold title
to all land and equipment to be &C
auired and to enter into any and al
such contracts as may be necessary
to help further the program in any
possible way"
All applications for aid under the
program, Mr.. Neenstein emphasized
are to be investigated by regular re
lief workers in the counties in the
same way as all other relief appli-
cations are examined.
Budgets will be prepared by the
State Relief Administrator to carry
forward this program, and after ap,
prevail has been given by the FEEDER
al Emergency Relief Administration
special earmarked funds will be
provided to the Maryland Emergency
Relief Administration.
st is not our intention to pur-
chase land in any great quantity nor
to move families en- masse from one
section to another. In Maryland
emphasis will be placed, rather
upon helping the rural families
where they now are situated"
