Treasury Must Be Tapped and
Territorial Tax Upped to 12 Mj %
To Balance Budget Next 2 Years
By JIM HUTCHESON
JUNEAU, (J*>—Legislative lead
ers appeared agreed Thursday the
five-million surplus in the terri
torial treasury must be tapped,
maybe heavily, to balance the
territory’s budget the next two
years.
Furthermore, it also appeared
certain the Alaska income tax
will be jumped 25 percent above
the present level. The Senate ap
proved such a measure Wednes
day and a similar bill was intro
duced in the House.
Other proposed major revenue
raisers, the general property tax
bill and the proposed five percent
luxury sales taxes, were killed in
the Senate during the afternoon.
The general budget bill, budget
framers said, will call for nearly
30 million dollars spending and
added to that will be an estimated
million dollars more in special
appropriations.
However, the general appropri
ations bill introduced Wednesday
calls for raising only $29,901,000,
although that is a record for the
territory. About 25 millions was
appropriated by the last legisla*
ture.
The Senate vote to increase the
income tax from 10 percent of a
taxpayer’s federal income tax re
turn to 12Vt percent was 13-3,
with only one Republican senator
speaking against it and three out
of lour Republicans voting for it
with the Democratic majority.
The property tax measure wrent
down to defeat by a 9-7 vote be
fore the income tax increase pro
posal came up. Then the Senate
ended its afternoon session by
quickly tabling unanimously the
sales tax proposal the moment it
hit the floor with an unfavorable
8>
j committee report.
One new wrinkle written into
| the Senate income tax bill was a
! provision that federal employes
will have to pay income tax on
the 25 percent cost of living al
; lowance they get free of federal
! income tax.
Rep. Ken Johnson (D-Anchor
age), chairman of the budget
drafting House Ways and Means
Committee, said an estimated
| three million dollars from the in
come tax increase for the next
two years could balance the budg
et by dipping into the surplus just
about to the hilt.
But he was bitter over the
Senate defeat of the property tax.
He said he had planned on more
than a million from the property
tax, along with four million from
the surplus, to balance the budget.
Now, he said, that amount will
have to be made up from the sur
plus.
The original income tax propos
al, tacked on as an amendment to
a routine tax collection measure,
proposed an increase to 15 percent
of the federal tax. The vote to cut
the proposed increase in half, to
125/2 percent, carried by a bare
9 to 7 vote. 1 <
