 The new tax has much wider application than the old one, and applies to all mining in Alaska, including asbestos, gypsum. coal and marketable eartn or stone.
 The license tax is to be collected on the net income of the tax payer from property in Alaska, computed with allowable depletion, plus royalty received in connec- ton with mining property in Alaska,
 The first tax bracket, percent, will apply to net earnings over sl 900 and not over $10,000.
 Earnings over $10000 and not over s20,000 will be taxed s360 plus percent on the petition over S10000.
 Earnings over S2000O and not over S50,o00 will pay S860 plus ( percent of the portion over S20,- 00O

BANDIT, ORPHAN
 GIRL, FEATURED
 IN CApIT0L'S BILL

Not since the early Wallace Beery Jackie Cooper pictures has as delightful team been seen on the Capitol screen as that presented in the new M-G-M out law drama. Bad Bascomb," " CO., starring Wallace Beery and little Margaret OBrien
 Both the veteran Beery and the tiny child actress have tailor-made roles in this compelling story of a two-gun bandit sought by the constabulary of three states, who meets his match in the love of an orphan travelling across Wyoming with a caravan of Mormons
 It is with this caravan that zeb Bascomb (Beery) and his fellow Landit, Bart Yancey U. Carol Naish) try to hide their identities when they lind themselves pur- sued by a posse after attempting to hold up a bank Since it is a rule that every man of the cara van must help and protect the women without menfolk, Bascomb finds himself in the amusing pro- cess of being domesticated by the henpecking Abbey Tanks, played to the hilt by Marjorie Main, and her lovable granddaughter Emmy Margaret OBrienl
 Little Emmy having decided that she is going to marry Bascomb when she grows up, makes herself something more than nuisance when she interferes with the ef- forts of the bandit and his hench- man to steal a bag of gold held by the Mormons. So penetrating is her influence, however, that the hardened Bascomb is ultimately led to sacrifice his freedom when he leads spectacular fight against a band of maurading Indians and saves the caravan from annihila- tiOn
The Daily Alaska empire., 1947-03-10

A motion by Rep. McCutcheon at tempted to strike out the section of the bill allowing for depletion but was voted down.
 Al Anderson, representing the Alaska Miners Association, was given the privilege of the floor during the discussion of the deple- ton clause. The clause in this bill is adopted from the Federal Internal Revenue Code, Ander- son said, and has been recognized by every state which taxes mines.
 McCutcheon said that he op- posed passage of the bill at the present time because it will mean Ia less of revenue to the Territory, especially during the next two years. Rep Maurice Johnson took exception to this statement and asserted that the larger operators will pay much mors than at pres ent, while the smaller and mar ginal operators will not be as hard hit.
 As an example of hardship worked by the gross tax, Johnson told of a small operator who took out $26000 worth of gold one sea- son and had to pay the gross tax on it, although his operating ex- penses were $35,000
 Two former Repres entatives, All mer J. Peterson of Anchorage, and John Mccormick of Juneau visit ed the House on Saturday and were extended greetings and the privilege of the floor.
 Other Senate bills passed Satur- day, most of them amending pres ent laws in connection with the proposed recompilaticn, are listed under House Measures"
