'McKeIdin Hifs
Tax Program
Substitute
Cites Objections to
Levy on Cigarettes
And SmuIIer Sales
By Gene Goodwin
Siar Siaff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS. Feb. 26.-Gov.
McKeldin today criticized leg
islative proposal to tax cigarettes
and lower the exemption on the
State retail sales tax from so
cents to purchases of IA cents.
He said the so-called Turnbull-
Boone tax program proposed to
the Legislature this week ''is not
devised with a view as to what
the people would prefer" or as to
what would be the least burden
some on vast numbers Of lower
income taxpayers"
Senate Majority Leader John
G. Turnbull and House Majority
Leader A. Gordon Boone, both
Baltimore County Democrats.
have recommended a 2-cent-a-
pack cigarette levy and restora-
ton of sales tax features repealed
by a 1850 special session of the
Legislature.
Would Tax Meals.
Under their plan, the sales tax
would be reimposed on soaps, de-
tergents and restaurant meals.
and the old 1-cent tax on retail
purchases from IA to so cents
would be restored.
The Republican Governor,
whose main answer to an antici-
pated State deficit Of $29 million
next fiscal year is a penny in
crease in the sales tax this year
and a so per cent increase in the
income tax next year, said he
had rejected the cigarette tax
idea in preparing his budget.
Cigarettes already are heav-
lily taxed by the Federal Govern
ment, Baltimore City and Bal
timore County," he said.
The Governor said he is un-
alterably opposed to reimposi-
ton of the 2 per cent sales tax
on soaps and detergents, which
would bring the tax burden
back to the housewives daily
purchases in the grocery store" !"
Groceries are exempt from
Maryland's sales tax.
Starting collection of the sales
tax at IA cents. Mr.. McKeldin's S
statement said, would make a
nuisance tax out of the levy.
The sales tax on restaurant
meals was one of the most ag-
gravating sorepoints in the tax
as it was originally constituted"
in 1947, Gov. McKeldin said.

Seeks Permissiye
Legislation for
5000, 900 in Bonds

Prince Georges legislators to-
day have o request from the
county commissioners for %au-
thorization of a 100000 bond
issue to relieve crowded admin
strative offices.
The motion offered by Com
missioner Lansdale G. Clagett
at Upper, Marlboro yesterday
asked that his board be given
discretionary power to erect a
new building in Upper Marlboro
or an addition to the courthouse
there.
No decision has been reached,
the commissioners said. as TO
when construction would start.
They explained that they feel
permissive legislation should be
enacted by the current General
Assembly because local bills can
not legally be considered at SO
day sessions in even years.
Present quarters available for
county officers are inadequate,
they declared, and new space
would permit the courthouse to
be used as such.
New Revenue Suggested.
Possible new sources Of rev.
enue were suggested to the COM
missioners yesterday by three
officers of the County League OF
Women Voters Mrs. Haig Der
men, president; Mrs. Sterling
Ament vice president, and Mrs.
Lewis Johnson, finance commit
tee chairman.
They asked the commissioners
to consider a county motor We
hicle registration tax, l-cent a
pack cigarette levy, a business
gross receipts assessment and a
special impost on apartment oc-
cupants.
A SIS motor vehicle levy, they
estimated would yield 100000
annually and the cigarette tax
another 100000. Arlington
County and Alexandria. league
officials said, each collect about
$500, 900 a year from a levy Of l8
cents on each $100 of gross busi-
ness receipts.
Higher Theater Tax Proposed.
League officials also proposed
an increase in the one-half OF
per cent theater admission tax
and asked the board to study the
feasibility of inaugurating a
capital budget projecting school
and road construction needs for
the next four years.
The commissioners, harasSad
by record budget requests from
virtually all departments on the
one hand and on the other be-
seiged by taxpayers clamoring
for relief, replied that just now
they don't know what to do.
Chairman Jesse S. Baggett ex-
pressed concern about projec-
tionS. .
Lets not try to find out how
to get in debt" he pleaded, lets
try to learn how to get out"
Referring to the new tax sug-
gestions. Commissioner A. Pres
ton Perrie declared:
We've thought of all those
things. If you can come up
with something we haven't
thought of you'll perform a real
service"
Sales Tax Urged.
"A county sales tax" remarked
Mr.. Clagett. is the solution to
the whole thing"
The league speakers asked
that the county's surplus, now
about $5OO,O00, be allotted for
capital expenditures rather than
used as a taX-cutting device
and urged that income from the
State school inventory fund be
treated in the same manner.
In other business the COM
missioners voted to go along with
the District in setting clocks up
one hour at 2 am. April "a and
ordered a study of the proposed
installation of street lights and
road signs throughout the
county.
