Maryland Studying
Ways 10 Increase
Taxes $50 Million

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. l3.--Mary-
land taxpayers will be hit a little
harder next year. but just who
win feel it most remains q Ques-
ton.
Officials who run the States
financial affairs must dig up an
| additional $50 million in revenue
for the fiscal year beginning July
80 and the taxpayer naturally
will foot the bill.
Gov. McKeldin said recently
the Democrats "were pikers"
when they said there would be a
deficit of $l8 million. 1t viii be
$50 million, he said.
He no doubt meant this
amount would be needed to bal
ance a budget for the coming
year. since no deficit is allowed
in Maryland under law.
Assembly Meets Jan. ).
The Governor must present a
budget with enough revenue to
cover expenditures, and the Gen.
eral Assembly which convenes
January 5 also must conform to
this in passing the measure. The
Assembly can cut requested ap-
preparations but has found this
a difficult job in recent years.
This means the taxpayer will
pay any increased expense of
operating the State.
Gov. McKeldin and the Legis-
lature have two alternatives:
Raise some existing tax rates, or
create new taxes. The latter is
Ithe least likely, since any new
tax always meets stiff opposition.
There has been talk of raising
the sales tax one. cent on a
dollar and increasing the State
income tax one per cent. This
would provide the need revenue.
There has also been talk of
placing a State tax on tobacco,
but this would undoubtedly meet
heavy fire from the Southern
Maryland tobacco section.
The race tracks could be hit
for a heavier bite of taxes, but
tracing interests already are be-
moaning present rates.
I Luxury Tax Studied.
Another possibility would be
Fan amusement or luxury tax,
placed on such things as jeWelry,
movies, etc. These taxes were
Icut by the Federal Government
last year.
A cigaret tax of two cents a
package and corresponding takes
from cigars. pipe tobacco, ETC.,
would yield only about So or ST
Emillion, thus leaving quite a
Echunk still needed to keep things
in balance.
Here are some of the things
that account for the pinch:
Last year the Governor, in a
move to avoid raising taxes in
"a prediction year, used a sys-
tenn of advancing the due date
'on utility gross receipts taxes to
bring in an additional SIS million
for the current budget.
The legislators, willing to go
along with a plan to keep tax
hikes down. agreed to the move,
but the system won't work this
time, since the date is set per-
emanently for each June.
The Governor also has had the
use of rising income from pres
ent taxes and former surpluses.
Now forecasters predict there
Will be no more increases in the
income from present taxes since
the national economy is leveling
off

Mrs. Hail said members of the
family usually open the window
when using the heater. but San
dra apparently forgot to do so.
Police said the heater was not
vented. The gas apparently
caused the room to fill with car
bon monoxide.
Doctors at Alexapdria Hospi-

usually high concentration of
carbon monoxide in her system,
and declared that she was lucky

tbeen the center Of attraction for the passing season. On
everybody lips could be heard the name Of these two stores,
naturally it is expected that these stores in no way came be-
hind in. the sale Of their Christmas goods. There are other
stores, perhaps, which are on a pedestal BY themselves and
fear no rival and therefore make a last minute brilliant dis
play just to please their customers. Here let US suggest that
such is a dangerous policy Many a small has taken the lead
from much larger ones because Of constantly increasing their
advertising opportunities. Many 9 great business firm has
gone down the ladder because it rested on its laurels and tail
deed to advertise. We think Of prominence given certain mail
order houses throughout the world. Notice how often they
change their catalogue. Nothing is lacking that could be had
to make the advertisement perfect.
TO ACCOMPLISH all this, good should be ordered
early SO that they would arrive on time. Last but not least,
it would be good to secure q space in your local newspaper.

THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING

H ALL OF ADVERTISING
THAI TT PAYS to advertise, especially in a newspaper,
is a fact that should impress itself upon every individual re-
CARELESS of his sphere. Professional men, tradesmen, business
men, all should make full use Of such a medium. With pro-
fessional men and tradesmen the results of their work is the
best, With businessmen the better they display the items and
advertise the qualities Of each, the better the sale.
THERE ARE MANY ways Of adverdsing-by samples,
by broadcasting, BY paintings on walls OF on buldings,by a
display in your own showcase, and best of all through the
newspaper, where it is a permanent record to be seen CON
stantly. Poor items have been sold easily when properly
advertised, and items Of high value and importance have
often been left ike the flower in the desert to blush unseen
and cast its fragrance to the desert air.
OBSERVING AROUND the towns one notices immed-
lately how few businessmen have really made full use Of the
Christmas season. Such a season is not only for the purpose
Of making colorful displays but primarily, and along with
colorful displays of ribbons and paper, to attract the eye Of
people to the various items which would make good presents
and which perhaps they never though about or even knew
could behad in their home city. Such items arranged in com
bination sets attractiuely displayed and adequately ifumin-
ated with colorful bulbs cannot fail but awaken a desire in
the would-be purchaser to procure such as a proper gift for
some friend or loved one.
TO MAKE GOOD use Of such a season, advertising
should start early in December, then the management Of
these stores have a full opportunity to change the order Of
their show cases each week, increasing the attractiveness Of
the display until it reaches il final climax on Christmas Eve
night. Then combined with this visual advertisement comes
that Of the local daily newspaper. Secure a place in your
newspaper and also add to il variety and change each week
Readers become aware that such a firm changes their adver-
tisement weekly and they look forward to see just what items
are mentioned in the newspaper.
