TAX GOUGING BY O'CONOR
is CHARGED BY M'KELDIN
Republican Candidate For Gov
ernOr Assails Present Demo
cratic Administration

|
night at a public meeting held in an
eastern county of Maryland, charged
Governor O'Conor, his opponent in
the gubernatorial campaign. with
building up a personal political ma
chine at the expense Of the Maryland
income taxpayers.
THE people" said Mr.. McKeldin,
mot only have been gouged through
the medium of the State income tax
but the policy of this Stateunder Gov
ernor O'Conor, has been to increase
taxes by every available means for
the purpose of providing funds to
ipromote the political interests of the
O'Conor- Curran clique of the Demo-
cratic party.
More Spent Than Needed"
"That clique has concerned itself
primarily with maintaining its stran-
gle hold upon the State government.
Governor O'Conor has consistently
taken from the pockets Of the taXpay-
ers much more than was needed to
satisfy the legitimate administrative
demands of the regular budget
The Republican candidate charged
. that Governor O'Conor ignored the
wishes of the people when they de-

providing for the imposition of an in

Legislative increase of the State in
come tax from the then existing one
half of one per cent to two and and
one-half per cent. on earned and six
per cent on mearned income"
Effect On Spectator
''This," he continued. "was a stu
pendous increase Of 400 per cent. on
the first and LOO per cent. on the lat

phatic rejection Of the State income
tax by the people
"Governor OConor's present State
income tax is so framed that the
stock Spectator who makes $1,000 or
100000 pays not one penny to the
State, while those who toll in the fac

all earning above small exemptions.
His reasons for this course of ac-
ton were two. First, that he must

Big Bank Loan
By Gen'I Foods

NEW YORK, April 15.-General
Foods Corporation. which last
month borrowed S3.750,000 from
banks, has just borrowed an addi-
tional 100000.
The loan, like the preceding one
was made under revolving credit
fund which has been set up for
the company by three banks.
Of the proceeds, the company
used S2,883,01S TO pay federal in
come taxes and applied the bal
ance on its current bills. The latest
borrowing brings TO S6.750.000 the
amount which General has bor-
rowed under the revolving fund
during past month or so.
The most recent borrowing by
General TO pay its federal income
taxes adds significance to the re-
cent remarks of Colby NJ. Chester
chairman of the board, who said
that il probably will be necessary
TO reduce the dividend on the
common stock. Directors will meet
this morning TO consider the
common dividend.
At the close of 1941, the com.
pany had cash of $500. 154
against Sl4.191. 972 at the end OF
the preceding year.
Interest on latest loan Is at the
rate OF 1% per cent annually.

sumption OF iron and steel by 81
per cent.
The smaller firms. who made oil
