Maryland Faces
Return 10 Full
7 and So Tax
o'conor Reported
Considering Plan in
Budget Message
b the Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. H.
Maryland taxpayers were confront
ed with the prospect today of hav'
ing to pay per cent tax OF
earned income and a 5 per cen
tax on unearned income for tn,
years 1945 and 1916.
Ofncials Of the State Controller,
Once have indicated Gov. O'Conol
will propose the return to the full
2 and per cent State income taa
In his budget message to the Gen.
eral Assembly.
Marylanders will pay on 1914 in
comes the amount arrived at by
deducting one-third from the and
s per cent rates.
Base Budget on Full Rates.
Fiscal officials disclosed they were
preparing the 1867 budget on the
basis of estimated revenues from
income taxes paid at full rates. They
said the return to full rates would
help protect for postwar use the
Treasury's surplus of nearly So
100000.
The Governor stated recently
that no new form of tax and no
increase in tax rates were contem-
plated for the Forthcoming bien-
MUM. The return to the full
and 5 per cent rates on income
would not actually be an increase
in legal rates, as they were set by
statute and reduced temporarily.
Meanwhile, the House of Delegates
had before 1t today its first of five
bills for floor discussion while the
State Senate hoped to overcome a
printing bottleneck which has pre-
vented action on % measures other
wise ready for final passage.
Ways-Means Approved Five Bills.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee, appointed with the rest of the
lower chamber committees yesterday
after weeks delay, held a post
session meeting and approved the
five bills.
Probably the most important
would give the State and its subdivi-
sions authority to proceed in their
own way to collect money from the
Federal Government that may be
available to reimburse them for loss
of tax money from properties which
have been taken over by the Gov
ernment
Other bills acted upon by the COM
mittee related to the fixing of SAL
aries in the Department of Motor
Vehicles and the waving title taxes
on publicly owned motor vehicles.

ing that although the City Council
had approved the 1s45 school budget
which included salary increases Il
would not assume responsibility fol
continuing the increases in 1916.
Cites Publicity Given.
T. G. Williams, superintendent OF
schools, said it was unreasonable tc
expect teachers to sign contracts in
May or June OF this year to teach
during the coming season with the
understanding that their salaries
were effective only until January
1916.
In addition, he said that when the
City Council approved the ls45
school budget, publicity was given
to the fact that teachers salaries
were to be increased, and he con-
sidered this to be as binding as q
contract.
Under the present scale AIexan-
dria teachers receive $500 to $2,l0O
regardless Of whether they hold q
degree, with an additional 5000 paid
to men teachers.
Scale for 1856.
Under the scale approved TO,
1856 the salaries will be 1850 to
81, $50 and 81 $50 to $2,250 for holders
OF masters degrees, q scale still
under that of comparable school
systems
The Board of Education and the
City Council have been at odds be-
fore on budget matters, and only a
storm Of public opinion succeeded
in having the ls43 school budget
approved
When the hearings for the 1945
budget were in progress the Board of
Education agreed to cut its original
request Of $3.50 as the city's share
Of the schools operation for 1s45 to
$3.50 900, q figure which was ap-
proved by the Council and incor-
porated in the budget.
