On Tax
Pay-as-you-Go
Formula Studied
ByHouse GROUP

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.
(UP) = Speaker Sam Ray
burn today endorsed the pay
as-you-go income tax princi-
pie and said he thought the
plan to be formulated by the ways
and means committee should be
taken up in the house soon.
Rayburn's first public endorse
ment of the principle came stimuli
taneously with the appearance of
Beardsley Ruml, New York banker
and department store executive, be-
fore the ways and means commit
tee. 1t was Ruml who first advanced
the pay-aS- .fou-go idea which since
has been endorsed by the treasury
department with the reservation
that taxes on 1912 income not be
skipped, as Ruml proposes.
Randolph Paul, treasury general
counsel, has indicated the treasury
might compromise by agreeing to
skip part of the 1912 income tax
payments, particularly those in the
lower brackets. He has objected to
orgiving all 1912 taxes. He con-
ended especially that persons with
large incomes in that year, and per-
haps with smaller incomes in fol-
lowing years, would get a wind
fall by that process.
OBJECTIONS MET
Ruml offered suggestions today
TO catch "Windfalls"- income
tax on capital gains not be cancel
led; and that a special death tax
be provided to recover what may
be considered Windfall.
Chairman Robert L. Doughton,
D., N. c., of the ways and means
committee also objected to Ruml'i
skip-a-year proposal.
You wouldn't forgive me a debt
that I could pay if we were in bust
ness" he said. 1T would wreck
every business"
Yes, sir Ruml replied. In 1884
a competitor of Macy's in New York
cancelled all accounts receivable,
asked its customers to pick up
their receipted bills and went on a
cash basis. It's business and profits
went ahead

MINING OF CHROME
ORE EXTENSIVE ON
kENAI PENINSULA

In June of this year construction
was completed of sampling plant
and the preparation made for an
extensive ck-pile area for chro-
mite, which is being mined in
Alaska on Kenai Peninsula.
According to B. D. Stewart. Com
missioner of Mines, the plant was
put in operation before July l,
and deliveries to it of chrome ore
have been continuous since that
time. Already very substantial
tonnage of this vital material is
stock-piled and continuous deliver
les throughout the winter are an
ticipated.
In order to make the stock piling
plant available to the operation, the
Alaska Road Commission carried
out an emergency program of road
construction which was completed
at the same time as the plant. The
ore is being hauled from the prop
critics, which is a distance of eight
miles, by a fleet of trucks.
Upon delivery of each load it is
weighed and sampled and these
samples are transmitted by air to
Anchorage, where they are assayed
and the grade of ore in each lot is
determined. On the basis of this
determination, payment to the
seller is promptly made by Mr..
Stewart, agent in the Territory for
the Metals Reserve Co., which COM
pany is federal agency that is
charged with the responsibility of
acquiring and stock-piling of min
erals of the strategic group in ac-
cordance with the national policy
which was framed with the War
Production Board and approved by
the President.
The entire operation on Kenai
Peninsula is under the general SUI
pervsiion of Leo H. Saarela, assayer
in charge of the Territorial assay
office at Anchorage, who is serving
as Mr.. Stewards deputy. Mr.. Saar-
ella is also doing the assay work.
According to Mr.. Stewart, indica-
lions are that one and possibly two
other chrome plants in this region
Will be added to the list of opera
tors who will be delivering ore to
the depot.

The situation would be consider

Dewey meant turning over the New
