Alaska House Would Ease
Restraints on Sales Tax
JUNEAU, (J) — Bills easing re
strictions on local sales tax elec
tions were approved by the Alas
ka House Wednesday.
Present law prohibts cities and
school districts from holding more
than one such election within 12
months.
The two bills approved would
eliminate this restriction, except
as it applies to tax elections for
the same purpose. That is, addi
tional elections could be held any
time to change use of sales taxes
already on the books.

1,225,000 Acres
No Longer Needed
Relased by BIA
ANCHORAGE, MU—'The release
of 1,225,000 acres of presently
withdrawn land has been recom
mended by the Alaska Office of.
Bureau of Indian Affairs, James
E. Hawkins, area director of the
bureau announced.
The land consists primarily of
withdrawals which have been
rnadp in the past for Indian Ser
vice schools an'd reindeer stations
and range in size from a one-acre
school reserve on the Shelikof Re
serve at Kanatak on the Shelikof
Straits to the 1,205,000 acre rein
deer reserve on St. Lawrence Is
land Hawkins said.
These reserves are no longer
needed for the purpose for which
they were withdrawn, he added.
The reindeer on St. Lawrence Is
land died and there is no longer
a school at Kanatak.
The Bureau is continuing to
examine withdrawals and will re
lease any that are no longer
needed, Hawkins commented.
At present BIA has about 4,000,
000 acres withdrawn, in school
withdrawals, native reserves and
reindeer reserves, most of it in
reserves for specific native
groups. These must receive ap
proval of the natives before they
are released.
Hawkins expects the land no
longer needed will be returned to
the public domain before the year
is out.
The withdrawals range in age
from 50 years old.

Income Tax In Iceland
May Be Dropped Because
Of Widespread Evasion
REYKJAVIK, Iceland — Ice
land seems to be on the point of
abolishing income tax.
The chief reasons are the wide
spread evasion going on, and the
high cost of collecting the money.
The tax also causes social injus
tices, since some classes are better
able than others to escape it.
The earning capacity of the av
erage worker in Iceland, with
some overtime, is about 8,000
kronur (about $4,800) a year.
Of this sum, he must pay about
one-fourth in tax to state and
town. When the income received
is 120,000 kronur the tax becomes
one-third. At the 150,000-kronur
mark it is nearly a half. Beyond
that, state and town between them
take nearly every kronur of ad
ditional income.
The result of this steeply rising
scale is that some men, given an
increase, try to persuade their
employers to conceal it. Others
stop working after their income
reaches a certain point, contend
ing that the extra money is not
worth having.

House Tables Adoption
And Civil Rights Bills
JUNEAU, (jf>—Measures on civil
rights and child adoptions, both
backed by Rep. Blanche McSmith
of Anchorage, were tabled in the
Alaska House of Representatives
yesterday.
Mrs. McSmith said she would
seek today to revive the bill
which would give the State Divi
sion of Child Services a stronger
hand in adoptions. Such a move
would require a majority vote.
Chairman John Hellenthal of
the House Judicary Committee,
which recommended 4-1 against
the bill, said it gives “too much
power over adoptions to the Wel
fare Department.”
Hellenthal said the present ad
option law is a good one and
passage of the bill would make it
“easier for the Department of
Health and Welfare to get hold
of more and more kids and make
more and more placements.”
The civil rights bill was a Judi
ciary Committee substitute for a
bill originally proposed toy Mrs.
McSmith, the only Negro mem
ber of the Legislature.
The motion to table the bill was
23-14. Again, a majority vote
could take the measure off the
table for further consideration.
The bill would have broadened
Alaska’s civil rights laws to pro
hibit discrimination in housing
and public accommodations.
SPIRITUAL
TRUTHS
GLEANED FROM THE NEWS
Contributed By
NOME GOSPEL HOME
WASHINGTON — More than
70,000 complaints were received
by the Post Office Department in
1959, protesting against obscenity
in the mails. The government has
studied this increasing crime, and
ordered an all-out search for the
merchants of the indecent pic
tures and literature. Postmaster
General Arthur Summerfield has
ordered posters to be distributed
to every area of the country,
warning about the mail-order
merchants of filth, and asking the
public to cooperate and send ad
dresses of any they may obtain.
Not only the U. S., but every
nation should know that when
God and his Word is honored, that
nation will be blessed, but when
indecency takes the reins, then
comes the downfall. “My son hear
the instruction of thy father, and
forsake not the law of thy mother.
. . . My son, if sinners entice tihee,
consent thou not . . . trust in the
Lord with all thine heart, and
lean not unto thine own under
standing. In all thy ways ack
nowledge Him, and He shall di
rect thy paths.” (Proverbs 1:8,10;
3:5, 6.)
