Approved by House
By JIM HUTCHESON
JUNEAU, W—The Alaska leg
islators’ biennial visit to the Pio
neers Home at Sitka took up the
time of several members of both
House and Senate Saturday.
In their absence Friday after
non, both branches held quiet
sessions with nothing controver
sial on the calendar. Four bills
were passed by the Senate and
sent to the House, one of them a
measure to revamp the account
ing and financing system in the
territorial school system.
The House turned to memorials
and resolutions and acted on an
even dozen of them.
The long list of memorials and
resolutions approved by the House
included:
A request for a highway link
between Nome and Wales and the
highway system at Fairbanks; by
Rep. Lester Bronson (D-Nome).
A Senate memorial asking fed

The school measure passed by
the House was described by Sen.
A1 Owen, chairman of the Senate
Education Committee, as an ef
fort to streamline the “archaic
accounting system of the public
schools.”
Despite the rapid growth of the
system, he said, there has never j
been any change in procedures.
“No one dreamed what a flood
of paper would come into the De
partment of Education office,” he
said.
The Senate passed a bill to
place liability on tenants for dam
age to any quarters which they
left carelessly in freezing weath
er under conditions which led to
pi’operty damage.
Starving Moose Reports
Ridiculous, Says FWS
ANCHORAGE, UH—Fish and
Wildlife Agents said here Satur
day there is no evidence of any
large scale starvation among
moose in the Anchorage area.
They said a report that hun
dreds of moose are starving in the
Matanuska Valley is absurd, rid
iculous and without foundation.
Enforcement Chief Holger Lar
son said a recent investigation
shows none of the animals have
been suffering from malnutrition.
Larson also denied a report that
5,000 moose are roving through
the Matanuska Valley.

New Taxes . . .
(Continued from Page One)
“fat” in most of the requests.
Last week the House committee
completed its interviews with all
department heads. It had some of
them back for the second time
Saturday after they were told to
do some cutting on their requests
and come back again.
Now the committee faces the
job of further cutting and trim
ming, and if the budget still is
short of balance—as Chairman
Johnson predicts—it will have to
come up with suggestions for new
taxes to bridge the gap. The Sen
ate Finance Committee is running
a parallel course at the other end
of the legislative corridor.
Johnson said he expects the
new taxes to be needed in addi
tion to tapping a few million from
the Territorial Treasury’s Gener
al Fund surplus of around five
million dollars.
Johnson, an insurance man and
generally ranked as a conserva
tive Democrat, says he does not
believe it is sound government
policy to leave a big surplus in
the treasury while maintaining or
increasing taxes, although he
feels a million or so for a cushion
is advisable.
“But more revenue is needed to
carry on the territprial functions
which the people have indicated
they want,” he declared.
There is some prospect, how
ever, of collections of taxes due
under the General Property Tax
between 1949 and its repeal in
1953.
A move is under way now by
the Taxation Department to col
lect them under the 1954 appeals
court decision that the tax was
legal. They are listed as totaling
around $1,200,000.
The House has passed a salmon
tax bill, aimed at big catches in
fishtraps, but it will face an un
certain fate in the Senate.
The House has also approved
bills to increase motor fuel taxes
and tighten collections on cigaret
taxes, but neither of those will
add anything to the General Fund
if the Senate joins in approving
them. The Motor Fuels Tax in
ci-eases are earmarked for high
ways and airports and the Tobac
co Tax receipts go to the School
Building Fund.
In addition to a prospect of in
creased taxes to bolster the Gen
eral Fund, there is a possibility
of increased payroll taxes by em
ployers or employes, or both, to
bolster the Unemployment Com
pensation Fund.
