342               Vetoes

Furthermore, the Bill is not a proper one for passage dur-
ing the short session, and should be vetoed to be re-intro-
duced and passed at the 1953 Legislature.

For these reasons, the Bill is returned without my
approval.

INCOME TAX

March 27, 1952
Honorable John C. Luber
Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis, Maryland

Dear Mr. Speaker:

House Bill No. 106 is herewith returned without my ap-
proval.

This Bill would not permit the State to charge interest
on money owed for income tax if the taxpayer made a
non-fraudulent error in filing his return until the State dis-
covered the error and notified the taxpayer.

Admittedly, the cost of this change in the law is slight,
however, I do not believe it advisable for the State to enact
laws which might tend to encourage a person to make an
error in computing the amount of tax which he owes the
State. It is conceivable that a person might take advantage
of such a law and the State should not leave its tax laws
open to abuse.

Therefore, the Bill is returned without my approval.

Respectfully,

Theodore R. McKeldin,
TRMcK/o'c                          Governor
