Personal Income
In State at High

In 1856 personal income in
Maryland will reach new high,
probably exceeding Sc billion, ac-
cording to research publication
released today by the Bureau Of
Business and Economic Research,
College of Business and Public
Administration of the University
Of Maryland. Under the title "Per-
sonal Income in Maryland" the
study explores changes in total
and per capita income in Mary
land and the U. s.. since 1929.
Maryland per capita personal
income in current dollars was the
twelfth highest in the nation in
1855 at $1,991. This exceeds in
come in all immediate surround
ing areas except for Delaware
and the District of Columbia.
The study points out that income
distribution in Maryland is char
acterized by considerable Unequal
ity, which, however, is slightly
less severe than that for the U. S.
as a whole.
Total personal income for the
state in 1855 was s., 463, 100000.
BY source, Maryland incomes are
received primarily in terms of
wages and salaries which consti-
tute three-quarters of the total.
Government disbursements con-
stitute % per cent of all income
receipts for Maryland residents
with manufacturing wages in Sec
ond place contributing 20 per
cent.

Maryland Brewers
No Longer Buck
Canadian Brewery

Maryland brewers have told
Maryland legislators that they
ARE willing to forego the protec-
ton provided by Senate Bill 38"
because of moves which appear
to open markets in Canada for
American beers.
In letter, to legislators who
had supported Senate Bill 38,
George Hooker, Secretary of AS
ISOLATED Brewers, Inc, pointed to
the recent tariff reduction in Can
ada on American beers, to the
reported easing or consideration
of removal of provincial and Can
adian brewery industry reStric-
tons, plus the reported fact that
"a well known American brew
cry" would soon start selling beer
in Canada, as the reasons for the
brewers modified position.
Senate Bill 38 was passed over
whelmingly in the last session of
the legislature in Annapolis but
was subsequently vetoed by Gov
ernor Theodore McKeldin. 1t
would require that any corpora
ton seeking a license to produce
beer in Maryland be owned by
majority of American stoclhold-
erS.
The legislature will vote to SuS-
tain or override the Governors
veto as a first piece of business
when it re-convenes in January.
"While certain restrictions in
Canada still remain to be re-
moved" says the letter, sit now
appears reasonable to believe that
American beers will be permitted
to compete in Canadian markets
in a manner comparable with
Canadian brewers competing in
American markets."
This, the letter points out, is
in contrast to the sanctuary" po-
sition which had previously pro-
tected Canadian brewers from
American competition.
"Any change in the Maryland
brewers attitude toward Senate
Bill 49," said the letter, had, of
necessity to depend upon action
by responsible persons in Canada
to lift the barriers there against
the sale of American beers with
in that country. AS a result of
your support of Senate Bill 38,
the fact that Canadian tariffs and
other barriers effectively pre-
vented the sale of American beer
in Canada, was thrown into sharp
national focus; and entirely apart
from the editorial positions on
Senate Bill 38, it was widely
urged that Canada take steps to
open its markets to American
beers. AS a consequence, this
summer Canada lowered its tar
ifs against American beers"
