MARYLAND SPEEDS
SPECIAL TAX BILL
Sale of Rail Annuity and
Beer Levy Asked to
Meet Expenses.
BY a staff Correspondent Of The Star.

ANNAPOLIS. Md, January 30.-In
the face of warning that Maryland
may not be able to meet current oper-
ating expenses If the Legislature does
not provide new sources of revenue
quickly, Democratic leaders Of the
General Assembly today announced q
financial program designed Ito make
the State solvent"
The program calls for immediate
sale Of $50, 900 annuity Of the North
ern Central Railroad and the pas
sage of bill imposing q 81 barrel
tax on beer.
State Controller William S. Gordy
issued the warning that cash for State
running expenses is nearly depleted
and recommended sale OF the annuity.
Amendment Offered.
Following long session of the Sen
ate Finance Committee, Senator J.
Allan Coad of st. Marys County,
chairman, announced that he believed
this could be accomplished legally
through amending an old law which
requires annuities to be sold at a cap
italiZation Of at least 3l2 per cent
Coad's proposed amendment would
remove this limitation.
Coad said he believed the annuity
would bring about $2,500,0o He esti-
mated receipts from the beer tax would
be $l.123.000 q year and these two
items would be sufficient Ito make
the State solvent"
A measure authorizing the beer tax
is pending before the Finance Com
mittee and will be brought out with
an amendment making it an emer-
gency bill so the State can begin to
collect revenue as soon as enacted.
It is the plan of the Democratic
leaders to have these measures passed
within the next few days, possibly be-
fore Friday. the first of the month,
when bills for January are presented
at the State Treasurer's Office.
Will Clear Budget Path.
Quick action, it was explained. not
only will meet the current financial
crisis, but clear the way for considera-
ton of the Governors budget and re-
lief financing.
In view of the States shortage of
cash, Coad said in announcing the
Democratic fiscal program, that he
would oppose Gov. Nice's proposal to
set up State Investigating Commis-
sion to probe activities in all State de-
partments.
It has been estimated the work of
this commission would cost at least
$4,000 and such an expenditure.
Coad said, would be throwing good
money after bad"

mental power to compel very radical
change in railroad conditions, but

THE report undertakes" says a
summary made public by Eastman.
Ito show what can be done under
each of these general methods. to
determine which is preferable and to
work out details of the one chosen,
which is plan No. l."
Among other things. the Eastman
report proposes:
Immediate laws to regulate buSSes
trucks and water carriers, including
freight brokers and wharf operators.
An immediate law providing dis
miSsal wages for railroad employees
dismissed or furloughed over eight
consecutive weeks,
Laws enabling the commission to
Ak minimum rail-water rates, estab-
lish through routes without regard to
how great a distance any road may
carry traffic, limit the time in which
claims for refunds and reparations
can be made.
The commission reorganization and
co-ordinator plans were the only ones
that evoked and marked opposition in
the l. c. c. Although q plan to re-
store the "long and short haul" clause
of the transportation act to its orig
inal form was disapproved. Other
recommendations were heartily in
dorsed.
After urging speedy legislation for
water, pipeline and highway trans
portation control and amendment of
the bankruptcy act, the commission
said it could not recommend adoption
of Eastman's novel and complex" re-
organization plan because:
Any plan is premature and unde-
sirable" until Congress decides what
added duties it wishes to give the
commission. If any.
Sound policy would leave details Of
organization to the commission.
BY slight amendment of the inter-
state commerce act, the commission
could accomplish every major change
suggested, which would permit expert
mentation and prompt rectification of
errors.
