O'CONOR BUDGET-BALANCING AND
TAXATION, PROGRAM GIVEN
ENDORSEMENT BY VOTERS
Farm Bureau Federation Will Lend Full Support,
Leaders Say-Newspaper Poll Brings Flve-IO-One
Expression Of Approval

Indications of general statewide ap-
prevail of Governor O'Conor's budget
balancing and taxation program have
come from two sources to encourage
administration officials in the hope
that the program will go through
pretty much as presented.
First, it has been revealed that the
program will have the full support
of the Maryland Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton, support that is bound to have a
very great effect when the various
bills come up for final passage. Of
equal interest, however, are the re-
suits of a poll-by-mail, conducted by
one of the leading papers of the state,
covering nine counties, in which the
returns, by majority of almost five
to one, gave full approval to the acts
of the O'Conor administration up to
now, as auguring well for success
full administration.
The three points that swung the
Federation into line, according to in
formed observers, were ~ the
Budget Balancing program; (2) Dis
continuance of the Policy of Living
on Borrowed Monies, and (3) Assur-
ance that Diversions of Gasoline Tax
Funds are ended. Furthermore, it was
declared, there was general approval
among the members of the Federation
of the Governors efforts toward econ
omy in all directions.
Farm Bureau speakers pointed out,
too, that the O'Conor tax program,
with the fat income tax levy as its
backbone, is identical in many re-
spects to the program suggested by
the Farm Bureau Federation some
weeks prior to the presentation of the
report of the Rawls Committee.
Members of the Federation gener-
ally, it was said, have come to accept
the fact that the States financial con-
dition is such that return to a sane
and sound basis of fiscal operation
will require taxation measures of q
somewhat drastic nature. Further
they recognize that avenues for OBJ.
tanning large-scale tax revenues are
few in number, and they are in prac'
tically unanimous agreement, accord
ing to those approached on the sub
ject, in preferring the Income Tax tt
either of the other two possible
sources Of large revenue - Increased
Tax on Real Estate, or a Genera
Sales Tax.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1939-02-16

With taxation already at a high
rate, it would be little short of dis
astrous, Federation members declared,
to further boost the rate on real yes-
tate, particularly at this time when
many of the counties are preparing
general reassessments, in the course
Of whatever inequalities in assess
ment that may exist at present are
likely to be ironed out. The General
Sales Tax, used by many municipali-
ties and by some of the States, was
opposed by Governor O'Conor in his
Campaign Platform, and generally is
held undesirable because by far the
greater part of it's burden uniformly
falls on the class least able to pay.
Returns from the newspaper poll,
which covered 1000 registered voters,
showed a total of 1928 per cent as
favoring the acts of the Administra-
ton to date, as against 1T per cent
who were disposed to question them.
Among the Democratic voters, the
percentage was even higher, 83.5
against 1876. The fact that the ballots
were sent to a carefully selected list
of people representative of all walks
of life, of both sexes, and of all races,
would indicate, it is claimed, about
as accurate a cross-section of opinion
as it is possible to obtain by any
method.

TAXING A GHOST
is no way to raise
revenue. There is no
pocket in a shroud and
a dead industry returns
no profit, even to the
tax collector. The 2Hc
tax per gallon for the
privilege of manufacture
ing whiskey in Maryland
is not encouraging the
growth of the industry,
or the location of new
plants within the State
because it is a tax that
manufacturers in neigh
boring States do not
have to pay. Maryland
distillers cannot add the
tax to their price, for
their competitors would
undersell them even in
their own State. But,
they can go elsewhere
to manufacture and the
State will have neither
the revenue nor the
business.
