Liberalized Maryland Old Age Aid Debated by Council
Western Maryland lawmakers urged easing Maryland old age assistance rules at a Legislative Council session. Senator Kimble and Delegate Dick pressed to lower the qualifying age from 63 to 60 and argued the system shames recipients with harsh requirements. Patterson defended current income limits while noting some counties are already liberalized. The council also discussed extending motor vehicle violation appeal time and giving counties freedom to spend their gas tax shares on maintenance, amid projected revenue shortfalls.

Manufacturers Push Sales Tax Plan for Postwar Finance
The NAM proposed a 1943 corporate tax estimate of 13.5 billion and a 27.2 billion total to cover federal needs. They called for 2 billion in non-war cuts, 5.2 billion from a sales levy, 9 billion from personal income taxes, and 7.5 billion from excise and other taxes. A postwar tax credit of 20 percent would arise from allowing firms to buy Federal bonds up to 10 percent of taxable income, repaid after the war over ten years.
