8 THE SUN, BALTIMORE, FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 25, 1935 WANTS CHAIN TAX ON GAS STATIONS Delegate Cordish Offers House Bill To Include Them Under Store Law SENATE DEBATE HEATED Allegany Member Absent When Vote Is Taken Recommitting His Small Loans Measure the Associated Annapolis, Jan. 24-A measure blanketing gasoline filling and automobile service stations under the State chainstore license law, introduced today the Legislature, may result in one in of the hardest battles of the session. Delegate Paul L. Cordish Fourth, Baltimore) sent the bill to the desk in the House just before the Legislature adjourned until 8 P. M.

Tuesday. He declared that its enactment would bring in at least $100,000 additional revenue to the State annually. Law Upheld By Courts The chain-store license law, passed by the 1933 session after a bitter legislative battle, requires the payment of a license fee of $5 for each store up to five; $20 for each store from five to ten; $100 for each store from ten to twenty and $150 for each store over twenty. After i its passage the bill was held constitutional by the courts. In its course through the legislative mill, filling service stations were eliminated from its provisions.

Cordish's measure puts them back under the act. Discussing the measure after its introduction, Cordish declared pressure' had been brought to bear to keep the bill out of the Legislature. He said that some oil companies have more than one hundred filling stations. Referred To Committee The bill was referred to the Ways and Means Committee. Under the usual procedure any opposition will assert itself by a request for a hearing on behalf of the opponents.

The committee will hold a hearing on Wednesday on the Baltimore Country Treasurer's attorney bill, which has had a hectic career in the Legislature. The bill places the attorney to the County Treasurer under the jurisdiction of the County Commissioners and eliminates appearance fees at tax sales. It was originally passed under suspended rules the first day of the session, then called back from the Governor and recommitted. Later it was introduced in its present form as a new bill. Opponents have requested the hearing proponents be allowed to appear at the same time.

During the short session sixteen bills and a resolution, mostly local in nature, were introduced in both houses. A joint resolution was passed requesting President Roosevelt to address the Legislature "at his convenience." The most important bills presented were: Requiring couples desiring to marry in the State to wait forty-eight hours from the time of applying for the license and to submit a certificate with the application showing they are not afflicted with any contagious disease. The sale of merchandise in connection with the issuance of licenses is prohibited. The bill is designed to break up "Gretna Green" marriages.

A bill is now before the Legislature making "Maryland, My Maryland," as composed by John Ryder Randall in 1861, the State song. Two bills designed to prevent honorary members of the State organized militia from being exempted from jury duty. Ratifying the Child Labor Amendment to the Federal Constitution. Requiring the Bank Commissioner, when acting as a receiver, to obtain advice from the AttorneyGeneral or his assistants, and prohibiting him from employing special counsel.

Senate In Heated Debate The Senate found time during the short session to stage a heated debate over a motion to recommit a resolution, sponsored by Senator Robert Kimble Allegany), requiring the Bank Commissioner to furnish information relative to the operation small loan companies. While Senator Kimble was absent from the chamber preparing amendment the roll was called and the bill was recommitted by a 13-to-12 vote. His presence would have tied the balloting. The resolution came out of the Insurance and Loans Committee with favorable report, but Senator Joseph L. Donovan Howard) moved that it be recommitted.

Senator Allan Coad St. Mary's) pointed out that it did not specify to whom the commissioner should make the port. Senator Kimble wert out prepare an amendment requiring report be made to the Senate. Senator Donovan remarked that Allegany Senator "is suffering with jitters." He said the committee wanted the bill back to correct errors added that he was opposed to "blood suckers," referring to what he called "loan sharks." Kimble has a bill pending in Senate cutting the interest rate loans of not more than 300 from 2 per cent. a month.

A bill is before House cutting the rate to one per monthly. Senator John E. Callan ond, Baltimore) and Delegate Charles A. Anderton Third, Baltimore) presented similar measures requiring the Police Commissioner of Baltimore to allow fifty-two days leave of sence a year to police officers, policemen and detectives, exclusive of leave.

"Macaulay's history portrays how, as the public debt of Britain rose, the public income, despite the prophecies of despair, mounted ever and above it. This sage remarked that Britons have always overrated the pressure of the burden and underrated the strength by which the burden was to be borne.

"If in great wars the public cost is partly passed along to futurity, why should not posterity in Maryland bear a fair share of the load of preserving the State for its security and enjoyment? Offers Balanced Program "If a well-balanced program of income, sales, land and miscellaneous taxation, supplemented by public loans and Federal relief, be adopted, the following suggestions might be appropriate: The income tax, if based on Federal taxation paid by about income, Maryland persons and corporations, to yield $5,000,000, could be placed at but one-fourth of the Federal rates. The sales tax, if adopted, should not include food, clothing and the primary essentials of proper living. The State land tax-a relic of purely agricultural days--should not be raised.

24 Approximately 600 oystermen whose boats have been tied up in the Severn river for several weeks were put on relief today. Arrangements were made by a group of legislators, Swepson Earle, Conservation Commissioner, and representatives of the dredgers to have a month's supply of food placed aboard the oystermen's vessels through the State Relief Administration. Plan To Sail Down Bay Thus supplied, the oystermen plan to sail down the Chesapeake to areas open to dredgers in search of a catch. Meanwhile, a bill that would permit Mr. Earle to suspend the cull law temporarily to enable dredgers to take oysters less than two inches in length from the upper bay will be considered by the Legislature.

Harry Greenstein, State Relief ministrator, appointed Robert H. Harding, a member of his staff, to see the provisioning of the boats. Meet With Earle Mr. Greenstein acted on the request of tidewater representatives in the General Assembly, who met today with Mr. Earle and a group of oystermen.

VEASEY "-Local communities can share better the afford to take over their of burden than the State can afford to raise such enormous amounts. For the State is faced with a $2,229,000 deficit, and Baltimore city boasts a surplus of more than $2,000,000." $1,250,000 in revenue, said he not only will fight any attempt to carry relief charges by bonding, but will propose a plan that will reduce relief expenditures in the State materially, The plan he will propose will call for each subdivision of the StateBaltimore city and the twenty-three counties--to share the cost on a 50-50 basis with the State Government. This would apply to the amount the State must contribute in addition to whatever Federal aid is given. "I predict," he said, "that if such a system was put into operation that the drop in relief would be astounding.

When each locality has to share the expense expenditures will be made carefully." To Use Expenses As Basis The Senator said the amount Baltimore and each of the counties should be required to put up should be based on the average percentage of the total relief expenditures it has received since the relief was started. "Local communities," said Senator Veasey, "can better afford to take over their share of the burden than the State can afford to raise such, enormous amounts. For example, the State is faced with a $2,229,000 deficit at the end of this year, and Baltimore city boasts a surplus of more than 000." He said that the political units could raise their relief funds on their tax bills. On that basis, if the State should commit itself to the figure, the last talked about in negotiations with the Federal Government, Baltimore, city would neighborhood be of $2,500,000 to as its share of the cost. Between seventy and eighty per and sometimes more, of the relief funds are expended in Baltimore.
