Lyng Bill Provides
Matching Funds
For Eskimo Herds
By JIM HUTCHESON
JUNEAU, l*v—Bills introduced
in the territorial Senate 'Wednes
day equalled the record set* in
1953. The total reached the 122
mark, with six days still to go on
bill introductions.
An act to provide territorial
funds for promotion of a survey
of the means of helping in rein
deer herd development for the
Eskimo regions, if matching fed
eral funds can be obtained, was
introduced by Sen. Howard Lyng.
It would call for $5,000 for
costs of a survey team, if a like
sum is obtainable from the fed
eral government.
A bill aimed at ending the tax
commissioner’s detailed inquiry
•into tax returns was dropped in
by Sen. Frank Barr (Fairbanks).
Tax Commissioner Karl Dewey
has announced plans for going
into the background of tax re
turns. The territorial tax is 10
percent of the federal tax. Barr
said the intent of his bill is to
eliminate the authority for the
tax commissioner to “examine”
returns. He said the income tax
law was passed in 1949 as a sim
ple means of computing the terri
torial tax on the federal one and
the intent of the new bill is to
leave to the tax commissioner
only the authority to determine
that the tax is the proper 10 per
cent.
In the House Rep. Vern Met
calfe offered a bill to provide that
a business firm in the territory
should be entitled to a leeway up
to 10 percent in competing qn
bids for territorial supplies, as
compared with outside bidders.
Other new bills included:
To create a board of boiler rules
for safety of boiler operations: by
Sen. William Beltz <D Haycock).
To create an Alaska safety
council, composed of territorial
and fedei'al officials, to promote
highway safety; by nine House
members.
To provide for recall of public
utility district officials; by House
committee on territorial subdivi
sions.
The main difference between
an educated person and an ignor
ant one is that the former knows
more things he can’t understand.
