Next year may not be as
black as was earlier predicted
for Mr.. and Mrs. Average
Maryland Taxpayer.
For some months now. state
administrative and legisla-
tive ofiicials have been telling
US to get set for severe tax
increases next year because 1t
looked like the State was go-
ing to be about $50 million
short.
But the other day, State
fiscal ofiicials disclosed. with
some afnazement, that the
State treasury seemed to be
piling up q surplus that might
amount to about SO million
BY the end Of this fiscal year
next June 80.
This cheerful estimate Is
based mostly on increased rev
enues from Maryland's 2 per
cent retail sales tax.
Fiscal ofiicials. who are COM
sentative by nature, had fig-
ured that the postwar boom had
about reached its peak In
Maryland and retail buying
would begin to level on this
year Consequently. they pre-
dicted that sales tax revenues
would only increase BY about
s per cent. Actually, as it
turned out. they went up s.S
per cent In July, ITS per cent
In August and 22.6 per cent
In September. for 8 three
month average increase OF 1914
per cent.
II this same unexpected in-
crease IN revenue occurs with
other State levies such Is the
income tax--the surplus would
amount TO about SO million
instead OF the few-hundred-
thousand-dolla cushion that
originally had been anticipated.
To the average taxpayer this
could mean, that instead Of
having to bear both O penny
increase In the sales tar and
. so per cent boost In the IN
come tax next year. he might
have 10 face only one Of those
expensive alternatives.
Maybe No Boosts
Actually. there Is no definite
indication that he viii have to
pay either . higher sales tax
or . higher income tax. The
combination increass Of from
2to ; per cent IN ths sales tax
and income tax rates Il often
discussed because that q what
Gov. McKeldin proposed TO the
Legislature last Mintsr.

their misery. since the in
creased revenue brought in by
the telescoping Of income tax
payments In the first year of
the withholding system will
not be available again next
year.
Presumably. then. the Nc
Keldin proposals win be up
for consideration again this
winter when q new Legislature
wrestles with next years
anticipated deficit, however
many millions it may be.
The Republican Governor
has given no hint Of the tax
program he win propose to the
1856 Legislature. however. and
1t Is conceivable that he win
60 of on an entirely new tack.
With next year being cleo
tion year. his drastic 1855 tax
program Is bound to be less
attractive to him.
By the same token, the
Democrat-controlIed Legisla-
ture win be anxiously seek
ing to pass Q tax program that
win give the Democrats some-
thing TO crow about In the
campaign.
Blair Lees Progrom
A legislative subcommittee
headed BY Delegate Blair Lee
III. Democrat Of Montgomery
County. may provide rela,
lively painless tar programs
for both the Governor and
the LEGISLATURE.
Mr.. Lees subcommittee has
been working all summer seek
ing out new sources Of state
revenue. Apparently there are
plenty available.
Mr.. Lee, although declining
70 comment in detail on his
subcommittee's report until It
is presented to the Legislative
Council next month, told this
column that Maryland could
raise an additional $50 mil
lion . year without hurting
anybody"
The additional revenue Mr..
Lee Is talking about presum-
ably would come from adjust
Ing certain special State taxes
such ~ those on tobacco, beer
and trucks to bring them In
line with other States. Any
proposals for such adjustments.
Of course. would set on lobby
Ing campaigns by the special
interest groups involved.
Since both the Governor and
the legislature viii be looking
for Ways Of raising new reYe-
nues without offending the
mass of voters. the size Of next
years State tax bill to the
average taxpayer may be de-
termined BY how well some os
these speciai-interest lobbies
are able 70 defend their special
tax advantages in Annapolis
this winter.

States rights" that he was
asked 10 resign. Not until Mr..
Kestnbaum's appointment In
April, 1854. did the commits
sion really get down to work.
Tho final report attests to
Mr.. Kestnbaum's skill as q
moderator. Although many Of
the commission members dis
scented from specific recon-
mendations. only Sen. Wayne
Morse. Democrat Of Oregon.
fled . general dissent. Even he
said there is much In the re-
port Of the commission with
which ] agree"
This Il not to say the report
was free of substantial con-
truversy. On tlns contrary, sey-
eral recommendation placed
the commission In the midst
Of national policy disputes,
some Of which certainly win
BE- revived In 1855.
Split Personality?
On at lsast two issues, Presi-
Dental Consultant Kestnbaum
may ind himself at odds with
Commission Chairman Kestn-
baum. ~
President Eisenhower has
urged Congress TO enact q vast
national highway program, to
be financed by the sale of so
year bonds. The commission
urged that the program be d.
nanced ION Q pay-as-you-go
basis" the costs to be met by
higher motor fuel taxes. The
House voted down both plans
In July. but the highway pro-
gram and It's financing win be
among the leading political Is
sues Of 1855.
The administration and the
commission differ also over
who should bear the main our
den Of civil defense. The Presi-
dent thinks the Job should be
left primarily to the States and
cities, while the commission
wants 1t shifted to the Federal
Government. Congress has
shown little more than per-
functory interest In civil de-
tense.
On the heated issue Of FED
eral aid to schools. the admin
istration position Is close to
that OF the commission, which
advised against any general
program Of Federal financial
assistance to elementary and
secondary education" But it
agreed that temporary Federal
help might be justified in sd
llancing the construction OF
school facilities in some in
stances.
More important in the long
run, however. may be the COM
missions findings and propos-
ais in the tangled areas Of
State and local government
: finances. Squeezed between
severe limitations on revenue
sources and the rising demand
for services, States and cities
are suffering severe financial
strains.
Consultant Kestnbaum can
be expected to use his new po-
sition to press for action, both
in Congress and the state
capitols. on the many broad
gauged recommendations OF
the Commission on Intergcv-
ernmental Relations.
