I note that additional proposals are com-
ing in on the subject of income tax, and
we have scheduled hearings on Tuesday
of next week on six of these proposals. We
may, if it turns out that we can accom-
modate the people who have introduced
them, seek to have all those now coming in
set down either for that day or the addi-
tional day, provided sufficient time can be
given to the proponents and to others who
may be interested.

PLENARY SESSION

PRESIDENT H. VERNON ENEY,
PRESIDING
THE PRESIDENT: The Sergeant-at-
Arms will clear the aisles and close the
doors.
The Convention will please come to order.
The invocation will be offered today by
the Reverend Morris G. Zurnbrun, of St.
John's Lutheran Church, Linthicum
Heights, Maryland, Anne Arundel County.
REVEREND ZUMBRUN: Let Us Pray:
Almighty and Eternal God, in whose
Image we have been created, and by whose
grace we are sustained and whose mercy is
unchanging yet new, give unto us Thy
blessing. We thank Thee for Thy provi-
dence that brought this state into being
and for the freedom and justice and tran-
quility which, under Thee, we now enjoy.
Help us to treasure this heritage and build
upon it. We pray for our State and all of
her citizens. We implore Thee to regard the
Governor's counselors and all with authority
that they may be noble in purpose, wise in
counsel, and unwavering in duty. And in
the administration of their duties, may they
search Thy will and set forth every
righteous cause.
Oh, Lord, we seek Thy blessing upon
this assemblage, especially those who are
here to form a new Constitution. Teach
them to be ever mindful of their obliga-
tions. Let peace and good will prevail. Re-
move discord and suspicion. Remove hatred
from their hearts. Above all, teach them
that we can build no enduring cities but are
strangers and pilgrims in this world who
must one day lay down their tools. May we,
in that day, be found good and faithful
stewards. |
