INCREASE IN
SALMON TAX
APPROVED
(Continued from Page One)
tute by Chairman R. M. MacKen
zie’s taxation committee for one
originally introduced by Engebreth
for a tax of from one-half to three
quarters of a cent a can on salmon
species.
As it came from the committee, it
proposed an 8 per cent tax on 50
per cent of the wholesale price of
the canned product in Seattle dur
ing the active marketing season.
The present tax, enacted in 1949 is
4 per cent.
The bill was amended, on motion
of Nolan, to 6 per cent, after sev
eral senators argued that doubling
of a tax on any business was too
mucn.
The senators voting for the 0
per cent tax on final passage were
Democrats Anderson, Barr, Beltz
Huntley, MacKenzie, McCutcheon
and Republicans Garnick, Ipalook
Snider and Engebreth.
Against it were Republicans Bu
trovich, Coble, Engstrom, LHanjon
and Democrats Lyng and Nolan,
On the vote for cutting the 8 pel
cent to 6, the rollcall had been:
For — Anderson, Butrovich, Co
ble, Engstrom, Ipalook, Lhamon
Lyng, Nolan, Snider and Enge
bret-h.
Again, t - Barr, Eeitz, Garnick
Huntley itfacKenzie and Me dutch
eon.

The vote c >me of cr • c.e Gilmore
representative of tiie A oka J. nn .
Salr.»on Indi try, Inc., told the sen
ator., the in luslry did no. fee^ iha.
it should hive to pay any more
specially aimed taxes. He cited s
long array cf statistics in st.pp_r
of his thesis that the industry al
ready is carrying a heavy tax bur
den.
He cited pack and fishtrap taxc
totaling $4,150,190 for 1940-50, anc
said the canning firms also pay the i
share of other Territorial taxes.
Gilmore tangled frequently will
several senators during their ques
tioning or as they challenged iu
presentation.
Engebreth tried to get Gilmrr
to concede that his original bill wa
“milder’ and more dc irable to thi
1 industry than the 8 per cent sub
stitute. He asked Gilmore which
bill he would prefer.
Gilmore replied:
‘That’s like asking a man whe
ther he wants to be shot from thl
left side or the right side."
Gilmore c'ted figures that the
canned salmon tax would yield $!.
469.837 for 1950 on a pack that was
only three-fourths the size of the
1949 pack, which brougnt $1,465,702
in case taxes.
In support of his 10-year average
figures for the salmon pack. Gilmore
said "we expect the salmon run
for 1951 to be close to the average.”
Questions Fired
Senator MacKenzie. who fired
numerous questions at Gilmore, had
challenged the quoting of 10-year
average figures. He suggested the
runs didn’t approach average any
more.
Senator Barr advised the witness:
"If your taxes are a bit high now,
I think you are just paying up for
what tr.e industry didn’t pay for
many years. I think it now is the
object of resentment built up be
cause the salmon industry fought
against taxes for so many years.”
James Swan, a labor representa
tive from Anchorage, took the stand
to support the 8 per cent tax figure.
He said canned salmon prices are
higher and the industry can afford
to pay.
Senator MacKenzie argued that
the industry wouldn’t suffer from
the added tax. "When we placed
„he tax in 1949," he said, “w'e had
other taxes in view, too,” such as
j die property tax and the multiple
lishtrap catch tax, which ran into
court reversals.
Senator Lyng said: “I hold no
Or.ef ior the canned salmon indus
try, despite what some people hate
aid. But I believe in justice. . . .
ilie property tax may be upheld.
We don’t know. Also the business
tax is bringing in much more than
me expected, 'ilie income tax is up,
too.”
Sena.or Nolan sounded a warn
ing: "One of these days we may
run cut of the case tax and h .vc .1
go into the field of fre .h fish. T..
,ve will hear a real howl.”
