agamst salmon-destroying hair seals

vote. Rep. Miscovich then moved to
indefinitely postpone the bill, voted
against the motion and gave notice
of his intention to reconsider. A
motion to take the reconsideration
vote immediately lost 12-12, thus
delaying further action on the bill
until tomorrow.
‘What purpose does this serve ex
cept to make it that much harde:
to get the bill into the Senate,” Rep
McCutCheon wanted to know.
“It is exactly the same tactic:
you used to delay our property ta>
! repeal until it couldn't get into th(
! Senate," Rep. Wilbur told Me
Cutcheon.
Gas Tax Increase
At the time of the noon recess
the House was debating a motioi
by Rep. Amelia Gundersen to indefi
nitely postpone H. B. 143, providin;
a cent a gallon increase in th(
motor fuels tax.
The bill provides that the addi
tional revenues are to be used fo:
! clearing snow from roads and air
ports. Rep. Franklin announced tha
the Ways and Means Committei
had an amendment to place the ad
ditional revenues in the Genera
Fund. He estimated that this wouk
bring $400,000 into the General Funt
during the biennium and said thi:
revenue had been counted on whei
the general appropriations bill wa:
drafted.
It became evident that there woult
be a three-way split in the House
Those who favor the bill as is, witl
' additional revenues to be used fo:
now removal: those who favor thi
bill if the additional revenues an
to go into the General Fund, ant
those who want no increase in thi
gas tax on any terms.
Fishermen Oppose
Rep. Amelia Gundersen and C. C
Carlson, speaking for the fisher
men of Alaska, opposed any increasi
in the tax. "The fishermen are pay
ing enough taxes now,” assertet
Carlson.
"The people who are for this bil
don’t pay much of the taxes,” sail
Rep. Gundersen. “We aren’t gettini
'■ share of the benefits from thi
tax -our floats are falling to pieces.'
"The people of the smaller town
feel that while they are paying thi
tax but that they are getting thi
benefits from it." said Rep. Franl
Johnson.
Rep. Metcalfe cited gas tax rats
in everal western states, all witl
higher rates than Alaska's rate
Rep. Johnson pointed out that it

do not pathe gas tax.

"The Republican party in Alaska
is solidly behind Snider. He speaks
for the party. I can’t say as much
for the Senate president.”
