Algunos miembros de la de-

Menocal y Mendieta hayan cal

Roberts, Banking Official
Aids Institute

, associates of I. j. Fleming, as
associates of 1. J. Roberts, as
Sistant cashier Of the Riggs Ma
tional Bank, describe him. The
official for some years, they say
has, in his official position
proven of great worth to his
organization, in that he is able
to carry out plans and orders
without missing a detail.
Mr.. Roberts is well known for
his activity with Washington
Chapter, American Institution of
Banking He has served on all
important committees of the
chapter and is a former president
of it.
At the present time he is in
charge of the committee planning
the annual dinner of the organi-
zation. That banquet is one of
the largest of its kind in local
financial circles and more than
1,200 persons usually attend.
AS chairman of the committee,
Mr.. Roberts is expected to do
much in making the dinner a
success.
Another thing that friends like
about the banker is the manner
in which one can meet him. He
always tries to make his visitor
feel at home and there is some
sort of friendly manner that en-,
dears him to his friends.

REDUCED TRADE
To GUT TAX
MILLIONS
us. Expects to Lose Between
800 and 400 Million Due to
Lower Industrial Earnings

Earnings reports of corpora
tions for 1880 indicate the Gov
ernment's revenue from income
taxes during the present fiscal
year will be reduced between
$3OOOO0,OOO and $4O0,0OO,OOo it
was estimated today.
Reduction of from 80 to 40 per
cent in profits was expected to
cut the corporation taxes by at
least that figure. Corporation
taxes made up more than half
of the $2,41O,9OO, 900 income taxes
collected during the year ending
June 30, 1890.
Two Billion Forecast
Figures available at the Treas
ury forecast an income tax
revenue during the year ending
June 80 of about $2,000,000,060,
although the budget estimate
placed it at $2,19O,OOO,OOO.
During the first half of the
present fiscal year Slot, $4,000
was collected in income taxes,
the reduction of $77,290,000 haV-
ling resulted chiefly from the l
per cent cut in taxes in 1929
incomes. Of this sum $604,245, 900
was in corporation and $685.
066,000 in individual taxes.
Billion Expected by June 30"
Around ,OOO,OOO,OOO was an
ticipated by the Treasury between
January l and June 30. The
first definite figure on tax collec-
tions on 1880 incomes will be
available about the last of March,
returns being due in the hands Of
Internal Revenue collectors March
Is, the ordinary collection date
falling on Sunday.
According to the prospects, the
March collection will drop below
the 100000 receipts of last
March to somewhat more than
$400,OO0,000. Incomes of 1880
will affect taxes for the last half
of the 1881 fiscal year and the
first half of the 1882 fiscal year.
For the latter, $2,260,000,O0O in
taxes was estimated because of
the abandonment of the l per
cent tax cut. The collection for
the January 1-June 80 period this
year will be on the basis of higher
tax rates also.
How near the deficit will come
to the $18O.OO0,OOO estimated by
the Budget Bureau, officials did
not care to guess. In view OF
heavier Congressional eXpendl-
lures than were anticipated, some
experts considered likely a much
larger deficit.

Us. STEEL PLAN
CANADA PLANT

OTTAWA, Ont. Jan. % G.N.SO
Important extensions are planned
by the United States Steel Cor,
poration at their Canadian plant
at Ojibway, near Detroit, if the
Canadian government will pro-
vide tariff safeguards.
James A. Farrell, president of
the corporation, is expected in
Ottawa next week for an inter
view with Prime Minister Ben
nett at which the future Of the
iron and steel industry in Canada
and the customs tariff deemed
necessary to foster it will be
considered.
The United States Steel Com
pany commenced to make tin
plate in Canada some months
ago following introduction Of the
Dunning budget which removed
tinplate from the free list. 1t
is the company's purpose to
manufacture in Canada all the
tinplate required for the Cana
dian market.
Expectation is that the cor,
poration will embark upon a
program of expansion at Ojibway,
following Mr.. Farrell's conference
with Premier Bennett. At present
they import their black sheets
from their American mill and dip
them in Canada. The next step
will be to establish a rolling mill
in Canada. Then they will bring
over the raw material in the
form Of bars or billets and roll
them in Ontario.

Of WAR
IN CHEMICAL
GROUPS
Aggressive Competition And
New Developments Make
Industry Very Active

Aggressive research and result
ant new discoveries have led to
literally hundreds of intercom-
modify and interprocess battles
which are being fought out every.
day in the chemical industry.
Chemical and Metallurgical En-
gineering points out in its cur.
rent annual survey of the industry.
Dramatic entry of synthetic'
methanol into the anti-freeze
market in competition with de-
natured alcohol is cited as hav.,
ing precipitated one of the most
severe of commodity battles.
Drastic reorganization of the:
Chilean nitrate industry throws
into bold relief the relations be-,
tween natural and synthetic prod,
ucts, says the survey report. It
shows that growth Of nitrogen
fixation as one of the largest
chemical enterprises in the United
States has the Chilean nitrate
producers with their backs to the
wall, fighting to recoup at least
part OF a once supreme monopoly
Competition In Solvents
Complicated competition is TAX
ing place among solvents for lac.
quers, rayon, paints and plastics.
In this field, the publication sur
vey reveals, the lead of 'fermenta-
ton bufanol has been challenged
by other higher alcohols, synthe-
sized from widely different.
sources. With their derivatives
and Joint products they have sue
cesSfully invaded many of Che
older markets and are turning
their attacks to other fields.
The new and more aggressive
competition is not confined to
the synthetics, the report goes
on to point out. Recently one OF
the largest users Of caustjC soda
and chlorine decided to switch
to lime as a cheaper alkali. AS q
result he upset the nicely bal
anced market of the eloctrolytic
producer. Likewise he helped up
set the price structure Of the en-
tire alkali industry. Furthermore,
lime is not the only competitor,
because synthetic ammonia bids.

sodium phosphate and the newer
sodium metaSilicateS are all likely!
to make greater progress in the
future.

placed the oleoresinous varnish.
Now nitrocellulose faces a new
competition from synthetic resins.
Qllick-drying finishes of the phe-j

Even as new an industry as 8
electrical refrigeration has
brought with it an intensive
type of chemical competition"
says the survey analysts. "Am.

their eyes on this growing mar

OF a total Of $500, 600, 600 Of
foreign bonds offered in 1880, 80
per cent were placed on the mar.
