Expenditure Council
Calls Lane Comparison
OF Budnets Unsound
specioI Dispatch 10 The s'or

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. 29-.Gov. Lane
was adding apples to oranges, >
when he told the Legislature the
States 1850 budget would be only
100000 above 1949 figures. the
Maryland Expenditure Council de-
clared today.
The Council, in a statement from
its Baltimore headquarters, said an
analysis of the Governors budget
message revealed that the States
fiscal needs in 1850 were likely to be
$50, 100000 above those of the cur
rent year.
It's a matter OF comparison, the
Council asserted.
The original 1850 budget was
compared with the total authorized
appropriations for the 1949 fiscal
year. This total includes not only
the original budget, but the supple
mental budget, additional expendi-
lures authorized at the 1916 special
session, and other items.
Budget Figures Cited.
A valid comparison, the Council
said, should take into account the
forthcoming supplemental budget,
which has been tentatively set at
$50, 100000
"This supplemental sum, added
to the original 1850 budget, totals
$167 100000. Thus, the estimated
total of appropriations for fiscal
1850, when compared with the $118,-
073,000 for 1949, shows a jump of
$49, $4,000 for the coming year,
rather than the s12,000,00O men
toned by the Governor"
Comparisons between the 194s
total and the original 1850 budget,
the Council contended, rs to fall
into the primary school error of
adding apples to oranges. To be re-
liable, comparisons must be made
between comparable amounts"
The Council also attacked Gov.
Lane for suggesting virtual elimi-
nation of the sos, OOO, 900 surplus that
has accumulated during the past IL
years" The Governor suggested that
part Of the surplus might be used
to finance capital Improvement
program.
Practice Called Unsound.
This can hardly be considered
sound fiscal practice" the Council
declared, when consideration Is
given to the fact that the States
two chief sources of revenue-the
retail sales tax and the income tax
are directly proportionate to pre-
vailing economic conditions"
Instead of using the surplus for
capital improvements, the State
should reduce taxes, the Council be-
lieves, and also create q cushion
fund" for future periods of de-
pressed revenue.

State Income
Tax Decision
Maryland Senate
Leaders Soy Action
Is Almost Certain
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. 2s.-Money-
how to raise it and what it should
be spent for-will play a big part
In next weeks sessions of the Legis-
lature.
The question of how much State
income tax Marylanders will be
called on to pay April IS may finally
be decided
The Senate had ready for final
action several times bill previously
passed by the House to freeze the
rate on earned income at 2 per cent.
1t still is in committee, however,
pending a check with the Attorney
General on the legality of a pro-
posal to amend it to reduce the
rate from to 2 per cent on the
first $1,000 of a taxpayers invest
ment income.
Disposition Expected in Week.
Senate leaders said it was almost
certain the bill would be disposed
of early next week. so that returns
on 1948 income may be filed. Unless
the law is changed, the earned in
come rate will be 21a per cent.
Meanwhile, the House Ways and
Means Committee is holding two
bills which would cut income taxes
still deeper pending further
study of the budget
The bills-to increase exemptions
for dependents and to make the
rate on the first $4,000 of invest
ment income 2 per cent-have re-
ceived the committees favorable
vote. Committeeman decided at
closed meeting yesterday to hold
them awhile, however.
Bonus Bill on Way.
The Senate is going to get bill
next week calling for the payment
of approximately s110,000,000 in
bonuses to war veterans.
Minority Leader Kimble, Repub-
licap, of Allegany County said he
will introduce the measure shortly
after a final conference Monday
with representatives of various vet
Grams organizations.
If enacted the bill would be sub
mitted to the voters in referendum
at the 1850 general election. AS
tentatively drawn. Mr.. Kimble's bill
would pay each Maryland veteran
$40 a month for service in this
country, and $40 month for over
seas service, with minimum pay
ment of 500 and maximum Of
$500.
Segregation Repeater.
Members of the House Judiciary
Committee said that the perennial
Jim Grow" repeater may come to
the floor during the week.
It would strike out the law speci-
flying that races should be segre-
gated on common carriers in Mary
land. 1t is now enforced only on
the Chesapeake Bay ferry system.
Repeated attempts in past years to
get it of the books have always
failed.
This time it already has passed
in the Senate.

School Board Dined By
Seekers Of New BUILDING

Elementary school children need
that sense Of security they can get
only in their own neighborhood,"
members Of the Board Of Educa-
ton were told Wednesday at a
dinner meeting in Laytonsville.
The dinner preceded round table
discussion of the need Of additional
space for the rapidly growing
school.
The present building is a 1904
model from horse and buggy
days and the patrons want new
school, not just additions to the
old one, those present emphasized.
Above all they do not want their
school consolidated with anothef.
The P-TA president, Mrs. John
r. Muncaster, Jr. pointed out the
fire hazard especially on the second
floor where what was at one time
an auditorium had been converted
into classrooms and cafeteria.
School authorities admitted the
need OF more space and assured
the group there was no thought Of
consolidation, but were very vague
about a new school building.

ticipating in the discussion we're:
