FOR YOUR PROTECTION
WITHIN A TEN-FOOT RADIUS of your elbow as ,
you sit reading, there are doubtless several safety devices
or fire resistant materials which you, or others before you, ,
indirectly helped develop. They are found, for example, in .
your radio, your electric refrigerator or in the wiring system ’
in your house. They're there because of premiums paid to ’
your agent for your Fire insurance. »
>
, For many years, a part of the money paid for Fire in- >
surance has helped set up laboratories for research. But ’
while your Fire insurance originally helped finance this re- ,
search, it isn’t costing you money now. To the contrary, it has >
been paying interest to you in the form of reduced premiums. ’

Legislative
Highlights.
Mildred R. Hermann
The eighteenth session of the
Alaska Legislature has come to
an end. Most of the legislators
perhaps expect to be back next
year for another extra-ordinary
session. The chief flaw in their
thinking, however, lies in the
fact that the right to call a spe
cial session resides in the Gover
nor of the Territory, and he may
decide that a legislature that
would make appropriations al
most four million dollars in ex
cess of the highest estimated in
come, is too irresponsible to be
called into an extra-ordinary
session, which would enable them
to whitewash their own reood of
futility.
Speaking before the House by
request just before the vote was
taken on the General Appropria
tion bill, Senator Joe Green,
Chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee, assured the doubt
ins House members that there
was ample revenue to meet all
expenditures authorized; in the
Senate, a few minutes previous
ly by Senator Ed Coffey, a mem
ber of the Finance Committee,
had made the same statement.
Those were the statements of
the two Senators-these are the
facts
The General and special emer
gency appropriations bills passed
by the leg slature at this session
amount to $8,435,743.58
The total estimated income for
the biennium is $4,491,900.
It requires only a simple exam
ple in Arithmetic to show that
the Territory faces an operat
ing deficit for the biennium of
$3,943,843 58 But our Arithme
tic lesson is not yet complete.
Let’s look now at the revenue
measures that were killed:
1. The net income tax bill,
which would have produced rev
enue of approximately $2,300,000
for the biennium;
2 The general property tax
bill which would have produced
revi nut. of $1,200,000 for the bi
ennium;
3. The uniform license tax bill
which would have produced rev
enue of about $000,000 for the
biennium.
4. This basic tax program
would therefore have* produced
revenue totalling about
$4 100.000 It would have spread
the tax burden uniformly and
equitably over all categories of
