Pass” recommendation Friday.
The measure by the Kodiak
Democrat also would increase the
fee for each additional organiza
tion represented by the same 1 >b
byist from $10 to $25.
Also before the ways and means
; committee were two additional tax
measures introduced by members
of the revenue-raising special leg
| islature. One was a~ general pro
perty tax and the second a catch
all business license tax. Neither
appeared near the point of reach
j ing the floor, however.
1 In the Senate, the taxation com
mitee reported out, and without
recommendation, Sen. Char 1 e s
Jones’ bill for a one per cent tax
on all major contracts. Jones is a
Republican from the Second Divi
sion.
The heaviest fish trap tax bill in
Alaska’s history slid through the
Democrat-controlled House yester
day without debate and without
an opposition vote being cast.
Four votes were cast in opposi
tion—on a vote of 19 to 4—to a
Territorial school tax, but it swept
through the House and headed for
' the Senate.
The measure by Rep. William
leltz. Nome Democrat* would in
crease the Territory’s school tax
from $5.00 to $10.50 for each Alas
ka resident.
Thir y-five per cent of the rev
enue. which the author estimated
at $47,000 each two years, would
go to the “Universities of Alaska”
for payment of salaries and 65 per,
cent to the school fund for Terri
torial school purposes.
Although there now is only one
University of Alaska, at Fair
banks, he term “universities of
Alaska” was fixed at the sugges
tion of Rep. Stanley McCutcheon,
Anchorage Democrat, who ex
plained that legislation might be
introduced later for a Southeast
ern branch of the university.
The fish trap bill, as finally
passed af.er amending, provides
for boosting trap taxes 400 per
cent—from $75 to $300 for one
basic trap over 50 owned by one
operator. It also provides for ad
ditional levies per fish for traps
making big catches.
The Anchorage R e p u b 1 ican
club’s pet revenue bill had an ap
parent death knell sounded over
it today.
The Senate taxation committee
June Williams has had word of
i ‘He passing oi her mother in Cor
vallis, Ore., yesterday, at the age
of GO years. It was not long ago
that her father passed away. June
plans ‘o depart on Wednesday’s
plane if possible to take charge of
the funeral and family affairs, as
she was an only child.
reported it back to the Senate with
three members recommending “do
net pass” and a fourth declining
to make any recommendation.
The bill proposed a four per
cent franchise tax on net incomes
of business establishments in pref
erence to a personal income tax.
It was introduced by Senator Gun
nard Engebreth, Anchorage Re
publican.
(Special to The Nugget)
The Senate defeated^ thirteen to
three this afternoon the Republican
sponsored memorial challenging
the legality of the special session.
The only votes cast for it wore by
<he two sponsors Jones and Munz
of Nome, and Senator E. B. Collins,
Fairbanks. Five other Republicans
voted with the Democrats.
A major surprise was the Anita
Garnick vote after having released
a legal statement this morning
against the session legality.
