House Group 10 Meet
Thursday on Problem
OF Vast New Revenue
Ruml PIon Guining
Foyor os 2l0-BiIIion
Debt Limit Is Asked
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With sentiment increasing for
adoption Of the Ruml pay-as-you-go
tax plan, or modified version of it.
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee will meet Thursday to begin
the job of raising new revenue TO
help offset national debt ap-
preaching $210,000 100000.
In announcing the meeting. Chair
man Doughton said he hoped to
clear through the committee by the
end of this week legislation to boost
the debt limit from Sl25 900. 900 900
to S2l0000,000,000. Only perfunctory
hearings are expected on the debt
proposal before the committee moves
INTO the more complicated field of
financing the war.
Chairman George of the Senate
Finance Committee introduced YES
terday a resolution to increase the
national debt limit to S2l0 900 900, 600
Needed to Permit Borrowings.
Senator George told the Senate
that was the Treasury's estimate of
what the debt will be on July /. 1914.
An extension of the debt limit, he
said, was necessary to permit bor-
roWlngs for prosecution of the war.
The Ways and Means Committees
first attention will be given to the
pay-as-you plan of collection, Mr.
Doughton said, on the theory that
the methods of raising the revenue
can be considered better after the
form OF collection is settled.
While generally agreeing that
taxes must be collected on a current
basis by deducting them regularly
srom pay checks, committee mem
bers are far from agreed on the best
procedure.
Principal objections to the plan
advocated by Beardsley Ruml, of
New York, have been that it would
result in the loss of one years taxes
10 the Treasury, since some commit
Tee members contend taxpayers
hardly could be asked to pay in 1943
the tax normally due from 1912 in
come and at the same time pay cur
rently their 1943 levies.
Rumrs Argument.
Advocates, however, said they had
gained strength for their cause
through an argument by Mr.. Ruml |
chat the Treasury stood to gain
rather than lose, revenue over the
long haul.
In a letter to Representative Carl
son, Republican, of Kansas. a COM
mittee member. Mr.. Ruml said he
ehared the opinion of many that
not only would there be no loss.
but that the gain might be sub
Stantial."
ANY gross loss" he said. "s is
so small as compared with the pres
ent and long-enduring benefits of
reforming our income tax practice
that it seems to me irrelevant
2hether the net position is a little
or lot more favorable than the
worst that can possibly be claimed"
The final answer, he suggested,
could be found by examining the
position of the Treasury on iudg-
ment day when the books are finally
closed"
Among the new revenue sugges-
tions virtually certain to be con-
sldered are boost in income taxes,
a Federal sales tax with exemptions
for persons in the low income groups.
new and sitter luxury taxes and a
national lottery.

Being Mailed to Number
of Delinquents

Tax Collector Humbert Manglni
has announced that his office staff
is now busy mailing out tax collec-
tors demands to all taxpayers who
have, to date, failed to make any
payment on their currently payable
taxes. With the second payments on
the 1912 taxes due on Oct. LIST, the
city has, as of Sept. LIST figures, re-
allied $4.590, 164.42 on its 1912 tax
levy Of $5,599, 1882, leaving a bal
ance open Of $1,009, 734. 40. This fig
ures to an average Of 80 percent al
ready paid.
The staff Of the office, under the
direction Of Raymond Clark, Is also
busy In the process Of withdrawing
the names Of all servicemen on the
tax list, preparatory to abating these
taxes as under the state law. Aft
davits should be filed by the individ-
ualS, or members Of their family, as
to their eligibility for such ahate-
nent. AS this Is o slow process at best,
the tax collectors office has arranged
with the local draft boards to check
against their lists Of all inductees as
to who can take advantage Of this
law. The state law governing this
abatement authorizes the tax collec-
tor to perform this service provid-
ing full proof Of the military duty Of
the individual, Is assured. A service
man Is entitled, under this law, to
abatement up to evaluation Of ST.
