qualifying as beneficiaries under
the fund. Paragraph seven con-
cerned the amount available in the
fund. and paragraph eight con-
cerned the differences of opinion
that had arisen as to proper appli-
cation of the fund.
The petition sought an order
naming the court as assuming juris-

The answer, concerning para
graph s, admitted that the court
should assume jurisdiction of the
fund and that the proceeds remain
ing be applied to proper benefici-
aries and that a trustee be APP

fund.
The three committee members
asked to be dismissed, subject only
to the right to submit arguments
and briefs as to the application of
the said trust fund Under para
graph six they agreed that proper
bencficiaries under the fund was
a matter to be determined by the
court and that they felt they
should have the right and privi-

briefs if necessary at a hearing TO
determine the proper beneficiaries
of the fund.

they saw nothing to condemn or

State Tax Revenue
Ahead of Last Year

Revenues from Maryland's ma
jor tax sources in the first half of
the fiscal year ran 1876 percent
ahead of those for the same period
last year, the comptroller's office
reported this week. Many of the
sources we're expected to level off
during the second half of the year.
Comptroller Louis L. Goldstein
reported that the nine major tax
sources brought S157 ,988,219 for the
period July l through December
81. The increase was S18,879,035
more than for the same six months
in 1860, and on the basis of esti-
mates for the full fiscal year, ran
some percent ahead of forecasts
Sales and income taxes which to-
gether make up three-fourths of
the states general fund revenues,
both showed gains over estimates
Individual income taxes totaled
$40 ,209,784, an increase of 8.4 per-
cent over the corresponding six
months. Estimates call for this tax
to produce 81 percent more this
year Corporation income taxes for
the first six months totaled S4,279,-
Oil, an increase of 11.8 percent
Sales tax collections totaled S44,-
282,813, an increase Of S6,416,36S

Social Insecurity.

Those wage earnerS among us
who get paid every week have,
by this time, noticed a little more
shrinkage in their non-Sanforized
pay envelope. Those, whose day
of monetary salvation falls on the
18th and 30th have that little sur
prise still before them. Whereas
the Sanforized label guarantees
Shrinkage will not exceed one per-
cent, the old pay envelope has al
ready tripled that amount in the
last ten years. And in the next
six years the shrinkage will be in
creased another 48 percent over
what it is today The sleeves in
most peoples pay checks are al
ready too short. If something isn't
done to halt this trend, they won't
be able to wear them at all
The bugaboo in this instance is
social security. Started in 1887, this
grand and glorious plan was de-
signed to give every working man,
upon retirement, a comfortable in
come during the golden years. The
cost was one precent of the wage
earner's first $4,000 each year. A
pretty good idea. But in 1850 the
system was overloaded, so the
government hiked the rate to 112
percent This still didn't alleviate
the situation, so the next year
the wages covered were raised to
include the first $4,000 each year
In 1854 the rate was increased to
2 percent, and in '55 the wages
covered jumped to $4,000. In 81
the rate went to pa percent. In
SO the wages covered we're in
creased to $4,000 and the rate
went to PIE percent. In 1860 the
rate jumped again to 3 percent
And law, passed last year, raised
the rate beginning January 1, 1862
to 3ls percent. Also included in
last years law are increases in
go to 39s percent in sc to AS per-
cent; and in '68 to AIS percent. And
remember, these increases are
made just so social security can
try to stay even. The sad fact, as
proved by the last II years, is that
social security is on an ascending
cscalator and the end is nowhere
in sight Another thing to remem-
Der is that every employer must
match exactly, out of profits, the
same dollars and cents that arc
withheld from wages. In reality,
the government is collecting double
the amount withheld from each
employee

The Farm Bureau favored con-
! struction of series of dams along
the river for multiple purpose of
agricultural conservation, recre-
alton and development
Any increase in the rate or eX-
tension in the coverage of the
minimum wage law was opposed.
Additional legislation was urged,
if necessary, to curb the careless
practice of littering farmers road
side premises by passing motorists.
On education the farm bureau
recommended provision for a cur
riculum that would help students
acquire a true concept of the basic
principles and philosophers of the
American way of life and the free
competitive enterprise system;
continuing emphasis on youth
driver education: urged greater in
terest in schools in order to have

The bureau recommended peri

unemployment insurance to keep
workers on the labor market and
stop encouragement of idleness in
the face of labor shortages.
1t recommended a strict scrutiny
of applicants and persons receiv-
ing welfare in order to stop abuses

provide an opportunity TO grow,

We sincerely hope that the

in this session of Congress. In fact,
we hope it is defeated. because at
the outset it would add another IA
percent to the aforementioned
scale, and the taxable wage base
would be increased to $500. And
if social security can't stay even,
there is no reason to believe that
the medical care plan could either.
Certainly we agree in principle
with medical care for the needy
aged. In fact, we believe in medical
care for the needy, young or old,
but if the system bankrupts itself,
that won't get the job done.
We don't think the government
should force it on the American
public through social security.
