0'Conor Will Request
Legislature 10 Cut
State Income Tax
Maryland Governor Also
Suggests PIon to Permit
Quarterly Payments
B, the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 2l.-Maryland-
ers who moaned about the size of
the State income tax and the
method of paying it last year may
be given a break when it comes
time to file 1910 returns.
Gov. OConor said yesterday he
would ask the Legislature to reduce
the tax by II to Is per cent on 1910
incomes, to permit quarterly ray-
ments and to allow the first INSTALL
ment to be paid within 30 days after
March IS.
At present the tax ranges from
212 to 6 per cent. depending on the
source and category of income, and
it must be paid in lump sum, due
as of March IS. The 30-day extern
sion would relieve taxpayers of pay
ing State and Federal taxes at the
same time.
Emergency Bills" Planned.
Gov. O'Conor said these amend
ments would be submitted in the
form Of emergency" bills, to become
effective on the date of passage,
rather than on the following June l.
Thus the changes could be made ap-
plicable to 1910 income.
The Governor announced the pro-
posed changes after a meeting of
the Tax Revision Commission, a
group that has made several recon-
mendations on real estate and in
heritance taxes which are drawing
opposition.
Chief among the objections raised
by county members of the Legisla-
ture was that the commissions pro-
posed naturalization of authority"
would rob the counties of their priced
home-rule rights.
Join in Opposition.
Some members of the Legislative
Council Joined in the opposition and
a council subcommittee voted
against proposed establishment of a
central agency to assess real estate
This plan would put local real
estate assessments under the direc-
ton Of a chief supervisor instead Of
the county commissioners, and ap-
peals would be taken to State
Board of Tax Appeals now the
State Tax Commission.
Also drawing opposition of some
legislators was the proposed Bureau
OF Inheritance and Estate Taxes, to
be part Of a Department of Revenue
and Taxes. This bureau would take
over much Of the work now done by
county registers of wills.

BILE loss of economic advantages to
Spain resulting from the abandon
ment of a on-involvement policy.
"It may well be that contacts of
the Axis chiefs with Spanish For
eign Minister Ramon Serrano Suner
in Berlin and Rome recently failed
to procure developments sufficiently
concrete or drastic to satisfy their
desires and that consequently it APP
peared desirable ,that Hitler depart
from his custom Of Summoning
statesmen to his presence and him
self undertake long journey, hop
ing tat Establishments and threats
would impel Spain along the Axis
path.
1.-THE line of temptation might be
based on the idea that if Spain and
France took part in Hitler's new
order, British resistance might
crack, peace might come speedily,
and they might enjoy advantages"
SPANS hardships, however, might
be immensely aggravated if she
compelled Britain to make the
blockade absolute. Spain is now per-
mitted to import through the block
ade, for example, sufficient petrol
cum to keep her reserves up to
about 100000 tons. Wheat is allowed
to go through. Britons can not see
Hitler solving this problem for
Franco.
Consequences Of Act
Even If, as has been rumored, Hit
Ter is attempting to force France to
cede French Morocco to Spain and
is proposing ultimate restoration of
Gibraltar, Britain believes Franco
will weigh carefully the economic
consequences of letting German
troops cross Spain to Gibraltar or
granting Germany and italy naval
bases on Spanish soil from which
to raid British commerce.
The Manchester Guardian sug-
gested that the Hitler-Laval meet
ing might result in naval coopera-
ton which would give the Axis
powers fleet Of about 200 submar-
ines in the Mediterranean.

Britain, that Laval might attempt to
exceed the powers delegated to him
in comforting with Hitler.
AS regards Spain, .the danger to
British interests was not discounted
But it was forecast IN some well in
formed quarters that Spain would
not enter the war actively unless
Franco was convinced Germany
would win. 1t was reported also in
diplomatic quarters that after Span
ish Foreign Minister Ramon Ser
rano Suner visited Berlin recently
he reported to Franco, his brother
in-law. that he was not convinced
that the German people themselves
were really interested in German
success.
Too Late for Comment
News of the Hitler Franco meet
ing came too late for extensive COM
ment. But 1t was believed that Hit
Ter had discussed with Laval the
cesSion by France Of colonial terri
tory to Spain, and that this ques-
ton had in turn been discussed with
Franco, as a bid for him t. cast his
lot actively with the Axis Powers.
The possibility was considered
that Germany might ask transit ia
cilities for German troops through
Spain to attack Gibraltar. It was
suggested also that Hitler might
also have asked use of Spanish
naval and airplane bases to raid
British sea borne traffic on the cape
and South American routes. There
was speculation that Spain might
even enter the war, but Britons were
not convinced that she was ready
to do so.
AS regards France, the general
opinion was that the French nation
would never submit to being a party
to the against Britain, its former
ally. But the suspicion was enter
tanned that Laval himself might
seek to commit the Vichy govern
ment to an active pro- German poll
icy-taking, as the Daily Telegraph
diplomatic correspondent put it, the
role Of a French gushing. (The
