County Eyes 1954 Session to Overide Governor on Tax Bill
County officials push to override Governor McKeldin's veto of a 1953 distilled spirits tax bill. If approved, 50 cents per gallon would go to counties, with Cecil County urging state legislators to back the move. Officials cite potential revenue around 340,886 dollars and aim to keep bootleggers out of Maryland while discussing broader local fiscal studies during the short session. The Legislature opens tomorrow at noon with Republican and Democratic caucuses ahead of the sessions.

Tax Cuts To Give More Better Jobs
Secretary Humphrey told Congress the 4 billion dollars in tax cuts aim to create more and better jobs and raise living standards. He defended the plan against critics, noting five billion in annual cuts began Jan 1 and would be funded by not returning excess funds to taxpayers. The package lowers corporate taxes and cuts individual rates, with further benefits from revised rules on working children, medical costs, and pensions. The economy should rise as jobs grow and production costs fall.
