Alaska Manning (ounei I
Meeting At The Capitol
A general discussion of Alas
' ;m problems pr ijects, and n eels
v ■ ' ut formulation of any re
comendations to the coming legit;
Jature or branches of govern
ment was the outcome of the
meeting of the Alaska Planning
Council at Juneau the last sev
eral days. A survey of th dis
cussions however will be sub
mitted to the legislature by the
Council for benefit of members.
This is the gist of a report made
to the Fairbanks Chamber of
Commerce by Luther C. Hess,
member of the council for the
Fourth Division who returned
to Fairbanks by plane recently.
Speaking further regarding the
Council meeting Mr. Hess said
that no proposals came before
th. body as to means of raising
additional revenue but he gather
ed from the trend of the discus
sion^ t’sa program will be sub
nutted to the legV.a'ure. pos
sibly by Governor E. H. Gruen
ing which will require about
$1,500,000 additional revenue p r
biennium.
Governor There
"Governor Gruening ex-officio
member of the Council” said
Mr. Hess was present “hut neith
er he nor anyone els. asked us
to submit any suggestions as to
new tax channels nor did he sug
gest additional revenues.
"If any recommendations for
more taxes or new tax channels
develop they lik ly will come
from the governor said Hess. In
! the council meeting he intimated
nothing on these lines and was
an intent listener not offering
any proposals as to procedure
himself. However I feel he will
1 ask the legislature for consider
able more revenue. Auditor
Frank Boyle estimated a ha.f mil
lion more will be needed for pur
, poses in prospect for the bien
nium. Possibly an additional sum
of about $600,000 woud be need
ed to carry out the mooted er
ection of joint armories and civic
centers. Undoubtedly these things
will come up for definite consid
oration by virtu of a plan to be
laid before the legislature from
official sources.
Tax Ideas
•‘Mr. Hisaid that he believed
' a general property tax is almost
; certain to be recommended but
;h: believed it would be very rfi
ilcult to list property and to put
machinery to that end in opera
i tion. He favored proceeding slow
iy and cautiously.
Mr. Hess said there is lik.li
I hood of requests for increased
school and health services that
will call for more rev nues. He
expressed the opinion certain
large school communities outside
of incorporated towns should be
established as districts, which
would be expected to contribute
j at least a share of the cost of
1 their maintenance to operate sep
arate from any city and to be
governed by elected or appoint
ed directors.
Urges Enforcement
Speaking after th: meeting, Mr
Hess said he believed the tern
mi y might get away from nec
essity of additional taxes if it pro
vkkd proper means of enforce
ment of existing revenue laws,
culling og the leakages from gold
tax and other collections, which
are now without supervision or
means of collection from various
producers and owners who share
royalties; and a general better
revenue collection system. He al
so spoke in favor of some means
of collection of fees or dues from
owners of mining properties or
payment of cash even if in very
moderate sums, in lieu of assess
ment work.
Pres nt at the Planning Coun
1 cil meeting reported Mr. Hess
were Tony Polet, member from
Nome; Mr. Arnold of Ketchikan;
land several government officials,
I including Frank B. Heintzleman;
Ike P. Taylor, Mr. Boyle, and S-c
I retary John E. Pegues.
