LICENSE TAX
(Special Correspondence)
JUNEAU, March 10.—The need of
strengthening the license tax' law of
the territory, so that it will be pos
| sible to make collections under it
more readily is emphasized in the re
port of the territorial treasurer, W.
B. Smith, transmitted to the legislat
; ure yesterday by Governor ,1. F. A.
| Strong. The report points out some
I of the defects of the law.
Briefly digested, the defects in the
license tax schedules are as follows:
Attorneys at law, Doctors, Dentists
I —Recommendation that schedule be
I clarified, so> that it may be establish
, ed whether two or more attorneys or
1 doctors doing business in one firm
I must pay separate taxes.
Automobiles—Law does tint define
! whether pleasure ears must pay this
tax, or whether only automobiles used
in mercantile work.
Bakeries—Because of great amount
of unlicensed competition, that baker
ies are forced to fight, it is recom
mended that this schedule' either be
abolished or that an exemption from
this tax be declared on at limited
amount of business.
Fish Salteries and Mild Gone Plants
—Recommendation is made far. means
to enforce the payment of the tax of
(100 each on fish traps, so that “mos
quito traps” and other fish,catching
I contrivances now evading payment
I rill be made to ( mtribute their just
share to the territorial coffers
dill Nets—It is recommended! that
this scedule be abandoned, unless a
; tax be imposed also upon the various j
i types of seines used and means Ik
! provided for the enforcement of a1!
I the fishery schedules.
Cold Storage Plants-—BecadJse of
'the method of computing tile- annual!
i business done by these plants, an :
I amendment is asked o as to. Ewing tne
i so-called “customs’" plants, suwter tlm
provisions of the act.
Laundries — Recommendation. is
made that, the tax in this schedule be
a graded one, depending upon the
amount of business done, and that the
exemption from tax be decreased.
Mines and Mining.—Recommenda
tion is made that the act be clarified
so that those who receive royalty
I from mining operations will come un
dubitably under the provisions of the
' act. It is also recommended that the
miner he permitted to select a tax
l year other than that fixed by law if
he desires to do so.
p ;
Scavengers.—It is recommended
that this schedule be dropped, because
i of the hardships that it works on
i men of limited means.
I
Vessels.—Tax assessment rolls pre
pared by authorized persons of ves
vels doing business in Alaska would
be of great aid in enforcing the pay
ment of this schedule. Many com- j
plaints have been made of unlicensed j
boats doing business.
The report recites some general ob
servations of Territorial Treasurer
Smith. He says, concerning the gen
eral property tax: “It is extremely
j doubtful if a general property tax is
; practicable in Alaska under its pres
| ent form of government. In any case, I
: having in view the tax troubles o* i
; many of the states, it is recommend- j
' ed that no general property tax law
be enacted until the matter can be i
given thorough study and upon rec- !
| ommendations by a commission spe
cially designated for that purpose.” A
j plea is made for additional office fur
niture, more office space, better fit- j
ing cases and safe storage for records i
and books.
The balance sheet of the territorial ■
treasurer on December 31, 1016, the j
end of the biennium, shows a total of j
$217,026.00 in the territorial treasury. |
Of this sum, $1J6,384.58 is in the gen
eral fund; $18,381.61 in the forest re
serve fund, and $2,260.31 in the fish
eries fund. The territory’s money is
on deposit at 2 per cent interest in
banks of Juneau, Douglas, Cordova,
Valdez, Seward, Ketchikan, Nome,
lditarod and Anchorage. During the
two-year period ending December 31, j
1!'16. the total disbursements of the
territory have been $203,202.97.
