Gov. Proposes Gas
Tax Diversion
Budget To Be Submitted To
General Assembly Jan. ~
Will Garry Increase

Annapolis, jan 14--In order to
bring the 1938-1939 budget into bal
ance, Governor Nice proposes to ex-
pand the current diversion of gaso-
line taxes, motor vehicle revenues
and bond issue funds into the gen.
eral government account.
1t is expected the budget will be
approximately 100000 above that
for 1936-1937, and will likely be
$64,O0O,OOO
AS it now stands, it will be neces-
sary in the 1887 budget to divert
$3,237,000 of the special funds to
add to the expected general fund re-
receipts of s1O,050,O00, which fall
$3,237,O00 short of appropriations.
Under the budget to be submitted
to the General Assembly on January
81, it is understood, not only will
provisions be made to continue the
diversion of this amount for 1888
1889, but added to it will be the re-
quest for diversion of an additional
100000 to care for the proposed
increase in appropriations in each of
the next two fiscal years.
This would mean an annual diver
sion of approximately 100000
from the special gasoline taxes, mo-
tor vehicle revenues and bond issues,
or on total of $8,0OO,00O in the two
years covered by the forthcoming
budget.
The administration has hopes, 1t
was understood, that the proposed d.
versions would be Offset by an in
crease during the 193S-1939 bulge
tary period of 100000 in these
special tax revenues.
1t was pointed out that the State
gasoline tax of cents per gallon for
the last calendar year were higher
than at any time in the history of the
levy; that the receipts from liquor
taxes also increased and motor We
hicle revenues are reported on the
upturn.
The increases of approximately ST.
100000 each for 1898 and 1899 in
the new budget is deemed necessary
by the Governor, to make additional
appropriations for care Of the insane
and tubercular and to make pay res
torations for teachers and classified
employees.
The Governor is understood to
have in mind no proposal for an in
crease in the State direct tax rate,
but probably will suggest income
taxes, a sales tax, continuation Of the
relief levies now in effect, a cigarette
tax and the legalization and licens-
| ing of bookmaking.

feated the University of Indiana 18
to o., the year they were champions
of the Big Ten" j. Franklin Wal
lace has been active in the practice
of law at Lexington, KY, for more
than 81 years.
The interesting account of the in

The English people give their al
legiance to King George vi and
their love to the Duke of Windsor,
]. Franklin Wallace, Lexington at

the coronation parade from West
minister Abbey, said Saturday after
his return from a stay of almost a
month in England.

in all walks of life from taxicab
drivers to diplomats" he said, "and
the former King Edward occupies 4
place in their hearts his successor
will never attain"
''Most of them also have a warm
spot in their hearts for Wally," he
continued, "and I think they would
have forced Baldwin and his associ-
ates to permit their marriage had
| it not been for her divorce record" ;"
cat least 80 percent Of the Brit
ish people," he said, twill never
lose their love for the man who alb
dicated his throne for the woman I
love- They regret this abdication,
but they do not censure him for 1t,
and he occupies a place in the heart
of the great common people that his
