. ASSENBLY ADOPTS. RELEF MEASURE Taxes on Incomes and Pin Ball Machines Included in Maryland Program. BY JACK ALLEN, Btaff Correspondent of The Star. ANNAPOLIS, May 7.—The State Assembly adopted a $4,960,000 social | welfare tax program early today and | brought its special session to a close at 4:10 am, 15 days after it had been called upon by Gov. Harry W. Nice to draft a substitute for the relief-bookie bill. Completion of the task came at 2:15 o'clock this morning with Senate con- currence in House amendments to a | relief measure evolved in the upper chamber and the remaining time was devoted to clearing legislative files of | other matters of secondary importance. | The bill as it now stands ready for the Governor's signature represents a compromise between the programs ad- | vanced by the two chambers and was | worked out by leaders yesterday to | bring to an end a deadlock in which relief legislation had been entangled for six days. It incorporates the following levies: Floor tax of 2!, cents per gallon on whisky, which would raise $500,000. Tax of 75 cents per barrel on beer, $850,000. 10 per cent tax on cosmetics, $275,~ 000. One to ten per cent tax on amuse- ments, $250.000. Re-registration of automobile . drivers, except chauffeurs, $200,000. | Stamp tax on legal documents, $425.000. Tax on pin ball machines, $350,000. | Tax on automatic music devices, $60,000. | Tax of one-half of 1 perecent on | personal and corporate incomes, $1,- | 600,000. | Automobile tilting tax of 1 per cent, “ $550,000. i The achedule shows the program would produce but $4,960,000 an- | nually, whereas both houses had set | $5.000.000 as their goals. Legislators 6aid, however, there is no accurate means of gauging the revenue from registration of motorists, pin ball ma- chines, music boxes, documentary | stamp tax or the income tax and the revenue likely wsuld reach $5.000,000 or more. i Saved by One Vote. i Presence of the pin-ball machine ftem threatened at one juncture to throw the entire program into a con- ference committee, which undoubtedly | | would have prolonged passage of * the bill for some time and might | have resulted in an entirely different tax schedule emerging from the parley. The new obstacle appeared likely as | i & result of Senate opposition to the | proposal, but was finally eluded by | the narrow margin of a single vote, a | motion that the upper chamber refuse | to concur in the House amendment, | which would have killed the tax, los- | ing by a vote of 13 to 14. ! Even before it skimmed through to adoption the pin-ball machine pro- | 3 posal delayed passage of the bill for | several hours and caused the relief measure to be recalled from the | Senate for revision and readoption by | the House after it had passed that | body. | Dorsey’s Plan Defeated. Delegate Philip H. Dorsey, r., St. | Marys County, then endeavored to | affix an amendment empowering the | commissioners of that county to utilize | 87,000 of its annual relief allocations | for the transportation of parochial | school children, but the proposal | failed. This disposed of, the bill was adopted by 77 to 29 and sent over to the Senate. It was called back for revision before consideration in that branch when Senate members discov- ered the pin ball clause also legalized “claw” and “dipper” machines and balked on the adoption of that item. Recalled, the bill was amended to exclude the latter machines and also to add another change making the pin ball law inoperative after April 30, 1939, and this time it passed by a vote of 79 to 30. Senator J. Allan Coad of St. Marys, & bitter opponent of the income tax, | launched a tirade against that provi- sion of the bill and against the pro-1 gram as a whole, declaring it increased | the State’s current allocations for relief | by approximately $2,000,000. | Effective June 1. The income tax and music boxI emendments, the only controversial | items in the bill as it came over from | the House, other than the pin ball levy, | * both were adopted and the bill as a | whole finally passed, 19 to 9. The relief bill was amended in the House to allow $700,000 annually for administration expenses, instead of the $300.000 proposed by the Senate, and Senator Coad also attacked the bill from this angle. No formal attempt | was made to revise that particular section, however. Adoption of the measure came 31 days after the State Assembly passed the relief-bookie bill, which was subse- quently vetoed by Gov. Nice at the close of its regular 1937 session.
