CIGARETTE TAX
BOOST SOUGHT
BY McCUTCHEON
(By Jim Hutcheson
Sen. Steve McCutcheoii. the Dem
ocratic leader in the Senate, says
he will favor a boost of Alaska's
cigaret tax to five cents a pack.
It now is three cents. The rev
enue from it i- earmarked for
schools, under the 1949 legislature's
act.
The Anchorage Senator, in an in
terview, expressed the opinion that
the extra two cents "is needed be
cause of added school construction
costs.
McCutchon declared that when
the three-cent tax was enacted the
retail price was boosted a nickel
anyhow. He expressed the opinion
that the inclination of retailers
would be to leave the cigaret price
at 25 cents a pack, even if the
tax were boosted, because it is a
"handy figure.”
McCutcheon declared that when
to ride along on the present tax
structure without major change
otherwise; that collections should
be tightened up and some minoi
revisions made.
But he said he would not favor
additional taxes on the salmon
industry or other major Territorial
revenue sources, figuring that the
Territory, with increasing income
tax receipts, might be able to
build a treasury surplus by 1953 if
the legislature follow’s “a sane pol
icy in appropriations.”
McCutcheon, agreeing with the
stand of Republican leaders, said
"some good whacks” will have to
be taken in the budget requests of
Territorial departments. He cited
the Welfare and Health Deoart.
merits specifically.
He said the legislature should
look closely into why increased
budgets are asked for those de
partments "when Alaska is in a
period of great prosperity.”
He said he wanted a close in
quiry into where the money is be
ing spent and how it is being allo
cated by divisions.
