You and Maryland Taxes
By the Assoeioted Press

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. %. You
may owe Maryland an income tas
even though you moved into the
State as late as the last day Of
last year.
And you'd have to pay on every
thing you earned throughout the
year, regardless of where.
That, says the controllers Of
flee, is the law.
It's based on the legal theory
that a person can establish a
legal residence in "a hours.
Take an example:
You used to live in New Jersey
Last December your business
brought you to Maryland, you set
tied here and intended to stay.
Before moving, you earned, say
$4,000. After you arrived, you
received a paycheck for $75
Maybe you were too late to re-
ceive any paycheck.
Would Pay on All of 1t.
+ New Jersey has no income tax
Maryland does. Therefore you
must pay Maryland-on 1949 in.

You are resident" of Maryland
At the same time, of course. you
qualify for the regular personal
exemption, credit for dependents
and other deductions.
If the State from which you
came also charged an income tax
you would have to pay there and
receive credit on your Maryland
tax bill.
A spokesman in the controller
Office put 1t this way:
ANY income received in Mary
land is subject to taxation. Any

Gront, TuemmIer Tell
Prince Georges Unit
Of Public Works Plan

A Metropolitan Area authority
to bring about closer co-ordina.
ton of public works construction
in Washington and suburban
Maryland and Virginia, was pro.
posed to the Prince Georges
County Chamber of Commerce
last night.
The speakers were Maj. Gen
U. S. Grant III, former chairman
of the National Capital Park anc
Planning Commission, and FREQ
w. Tuemmler, director of plan
ming for the Prince Georges reg
ional Office of the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission.
Gen. Grant cited the Port OF
New York Authority, whic h
finances and constructs such pro-
jects as bridges, tunnels, roads
harbor facilities and airports, as
the type of agency needed for the
Washington area.
Would Restrict Powers.
Mr.. Tuemmler emphasized how
ever, that the agency should be
confined in its powers to con-
struction projects because OF the
existence of planning agencies in
this area.
He cited the Senate-passed bill
to extend the jurisdiction of the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission as a step toward
better coordination of planning
here. This bill, now pending be-
fore the House District Commit.
tee, would give suburban Mary
land and Virginia Jurisdictions
representation on the commits
sion.
Gen. Grant said that the COM
mission, formerly headed by him
was formed in 1926 because of a
recognition of common interests
held by all three areas of jurisdic.
ton in such projects as parks ano
highways. Since it's formation
similar planning agencies have
been formed in Maryland-Where
one agency serves the two adjoin.
ing counties, and in individual
Virginia counties. More recently
the Virginia areas have organized
a regional planning commission
but without the powers held by
the Maryland agency.
Cites Precedent.
Gen. Grant told the chamber
that Washington cannot accom-.
modate more than about l million
inhabitants. With no indication
of decrease in the size of Fed
erai~ Government agencies, . IN

Many of the nearby Maryland

Those Who Took Up Residence
|At End of Year May Owe Tax

I income of a permanent resident,
regardless of where he received it,
is likewis subject to the tax"
If Subject, You Must Pay.
BY being subject to the tax, you
have to. pay it unless your income
is offset by the personal exemp-
tions and deductions you may
claim.
/ Thus, Federal employees who
live in Maryland, but work in the
District of Columbia, are liable
for the tax.
At the same time, if you live
| in West Virginia or other border
State, but work across the line
in Maryland-you. too. must SUBJ
nit a Maryland return.
Steady job-holders from out of
State pay withholding tax
Maryland employers subtract it
regularly from their wages.
Exception to One Rule.
Independent operators must pay
the tax themselves when they for
ward a return on amounts earned
in Maryland.
Persons who live in Maryland
for more than six months of the
year are regarded as permanent
residents-and subject to tax on
the full years income. There is
one exception. Any one who moves
away with the intention of taking
up residence elsewhere can be
taxed only on money actually
made before he leaves.
After that, he is the same as
any other nonresident"

.Takoma Park Votinq
On Mayor andCounci|
Salary Referendum

Voting was taking place at a
fairly brisk pace today in Takoma
Park where Mayor and City
Council are being elected.
About 25 were waiting at the
polls in the Takoma Park Fire
house. Carroll avenue opposite
DeenWood avenue, when the auto
matte voting machine booths were
opened at Z am. During the next
three hours the voters we're COM
ing in at the rate of about rs
an hour. Polls close at pm.
Also being decided is a referen-
dunn question of whether to pay
the Mayor 5000 and each council
man $500 a year. Only last night
at the final meeting of the incum-
bent councilmen, legal cloud was
cast over this issue.
Legality Questioned.
Vincent P Russo of the Com
munity League of Takoma Park
said the Council had voted il
legally March 18 to place the
referendum question on the ballot.
He said this was because only four
of the seven councilmen were
present that night and one of
these four. John Mes, served as
Mayor pro tenn in the absence of
Mayor John c. Post.
This deprived Mr.. Mes of the
right to vote MI. Russo argued,
with the result that a quorum was
mot present. a1fy CT
Corporation Counsel Vincent l.
FGingerich, however, ruled the ac-
ftlon taken Match '18 was legal
and the Council declined to alter
the previous resolution.
Mayor Post is not seeking re-
election today. His seat is being
sought by Councilman Ross H.
Beville and John F.. Sidell, a for
mer councilman.
Two Three-way Contests.
There are three-way contests
for two Council seats in two elec-
ton districts.
In the district made up of the
4th and 20th Montgomery County
precincts, Walter H. McClenop
and H. Brooks Perring, incum-
bents. and Maj. William F.. Fischer,
U. S. A, former councilman, are
running.
Charles H. Klinck, James B
Parkhill and Mrs. Philip w. Woods
are seeking the two seats in the
district made up of the 9th and
2lst precincts.
In other business in the final
Council meeting last night a re-
quest was made by George Nc
Cauley and Mrs. Alfred A. Ray to
rezone about S acres from resi-
Dental A to c on Boston avenue
near Philadelphia and Baltimore
avenues. The request. which was
taken under advisement, also
sought to have the classification
included in the city's master zon-
ing plan.
The State Roads Commission
informed the Council that Tako-
ma Park is entitled to $27,355
from the Federal Government un-
der an urban road construction
program if the locality will match
this amount. Hugh E. Hegarty
city engineer, was directed to
study the proposal and bring in

Virginia Phone Rates
Twill Be Increased
Beginning April |

1elepnOne faLeS IN virginia Will
be increased with billings after
March 81.
Authority to raise charges was
granted the Chesapeake & Po-
tomac Telephone Co. yesterday by
the State Corporation Commis-
sion. Immediately after the deci-
sion was announced, however, one
Virginia organization limited it
would ask the courts to block the
change.
For most Northern Virginians
the monthly increase will be IS
cents on single-party line service
and so cents on tWo-party lines.
These are subscribers who have
extended area rates, which permit
them to call all exchanges in the
District and the nearest contigu-
Gus exchanges in Virginia or
Maryland.
Rate Rises Listed.
In Alexandria. Arlington, Falls
Church and a part of Fairfax
County the extended area rates
will rise from s5.25 to $6 a month
for single-party service and from
$3.50 to SIS for two-party service.
The local area rate-under
which service is limited to the
immediate community-will rise
in Alexandria from 81 to. ,$4.25
for single lines. In Arlington,
Falls Church and part of-Fairfax
County, the rate for this type of
Service win be Increased from 50
to -$4.75 for ope-party lines.
Increases for local area service
on .two-party lines will be as folr
lows: In Alexandria, from $3.50
to $3.75: In the other nearby COM
munities, from $3.50 to So 7.

ice. Business rates for extended
area service will jump from $3.50
for so calls a month to $3.50 for
80 calls a month; thereafter, fat

appointed in the $3.4 million
granted.

Counties is planning to appeal the

if such action is possible. The

as saving the sec apparentlv paid
little attention to the testimony
of those opposing the increase.
Telephone rates in Washington

Reports persisted before the
election that party leaders would
urge Mr.. Truman to drop both
Mr.. Brannan and his plan if the
Republicans made decided gains
in the farm belt. These reports
were helped by a campaign state
ment by Vice President Barkley
that neither he nor the Demo-
cratic Party were committed to
the Brannan proposal.
The election finds anti-Brannan
forces in a much stronger position.

BY Ovid A. Mortin
Assoieoted Press Form Writer

Republican gains in the con-
gressional elections have raised a
question whether the Truman Ad-
ministration will revise its farm
policies and personalities in a
move to regain farmer support in
the pivotal corn belt.
The first tipoff as to whether
changes are in store may come
in speech Secretary of Agri-
culture Brannan is scheduled to
make at the national convention
Of the National Grange at Min
neapolis November II.
The Presidents backing of Mr..
Brannan's controversial farm plan
has been cited in some quarters
as a factor in shift of important
corn belt States back to their
traditional Republican positions.
Those States helped Mr.. Truman
stage his upset victory in 1948.
A similar shift of traditional Re-
publican corn belt States helped
elect Franklin D. Roosevelt in
1882.
In off-year congressional elec-
tions, however, those States voted
Republican. In 1946 the corn
belt helped elect a Republican
Congress.
Foes Win Office.
Democratic leaders eyeing the
1852 Presidential campaign take
full notice of the fact that most
Republicans elected to Congress
jumped on the Brannan Plan
with both feet. Few Democratic
candidates supported the plan.
Virtually all those who did met
defeat.
Several Democratic leaders who
asked that they not be quoted by
name said they believe the Bran
nan Plan hurt the Democratic
cause in the recent elections.
Several-including Senator An
derson Of New Mexico, Mr.. Bran
mans predecessor as Agriculture
Secretary-have said they believe
the new Democratic Congress will
stand firmly behind existing farm
laws. These laws have been at
tackled by Mr.. Brannan as in
adequate.
On the other hand, Mr.. Bran
nan will not concede that Repub-
