A NORTHERN NOTEBOOK
By BOB DE ARMCND
(Twenty-eighth of a Series)
Alaska’s 13th Governor, Dr. Er
nest Henry Gruening, has served
longer in the office than any of j
the 12 governors who preceded him,;
and longer, for that matter, than:
any of the 13 Russian governors!
who succeeded Alexander Baranof j
Baranof, the first of the Russian I
governors, hung up a record that
*s not likely to oe equaled—2B
years on the job.
But Dr. Gruening has set an
other record unequaled by any of i
his predecessors, Russian or Am- j
erican. This is a record for the
amount of time spent away from
the Territory of which he is gov
ernor.
Even in the percentage of time
spent elsewhere than Alaska dur
ing his incumbency, Dr. Gruening
has outstripped all the others ex
cept the first American governor,
John H. Kinkead, who served only
ten months and four days and
didn't come to Alaska at all during
that time.
A check of newspaper files for
the past six calendar years reveals
that Governor Gruening was away
from the Territory more than a
third of the time—two years and
145 days, to be exact.
During the year 1950 he was out
of Alaska for six months and ten
days—from January 1 until Febru
ary 3, February 14 until March 22,
March 28 until May 11, June 14
until June 21, September 15 Until
November 1, and December 6 until
December 24.
Longest single absence during the
six-year period was 105 days in
1945-1946. but there were a couple
of 100-day trips, one in 1949 and
one that started in 1949 and ran
over into 1950.
Since the absences of Governor
Gruening have grown progressively
longer—a little more than two
months in 1945 and more than six
months in 1950—it may be expected
that if he holds onto the office
long enough he will spend scarcely
any time at all in the Territory,
perhaps making a flying visit in
February and March of odd-num
bered years to glance over the bills
passed by the Legislature.
And speaking of gubernatorial
absences, Dr. E. H. G. has been
notably scarce around the galler
ies and corridors of the Legislature
this session as compared with some
of the previous sessions.
So far as we are aware, he has
been down there only four times—
when he delivered his message to
a point session, when called to ap
pear before a joint executive ses
sion, to hear a talk to a joint ses
sion by H. Clyde Beeves on the
subject of reorganization, and when
called in by the House Committee
on Ways and Means regarding an

appropriation for a Territorial
Building at Juneau.
This change of tactics may or
may not have been influenced by
certain remarks of United States
Senator Eugene D. Milliken of Col
orado during the hearing on Gov
ernor Gruenings's confirmation at
Washington, D. C. in 1949.
Said Senator Milliken, in part:
"To me it does not make any dif
ference who improperly influences
the legislator. I am suggesting that
the Governor with all of his pres
tige and power exerts a tremen
dous influence when he commences
to circulate around the legislature
halls and commences to make im
portunities for the furtherance of
his program. I am wondering
whether you have used the prestige
of your office to try to overawe
the Legislature."
The Governor of Alaska is by no
means the only official, Federal or
Territorial, who has done a lot of
traveling in recent years, and
travel expense lias become a size
able budget item at both the Fed
eral and Territorial levels.
We have no idea how much the
Federal government spends on
travel each year, but it is net un
reasonable to expect that a com
mittee of Congress or a special
commission will one of these days
make a study of it, turn in a re
port and make recommendations,
and that the matter can then rest
for another decade or two.
At the Territorial level, how
ever, the report of Auditor Neil
Moore lists travel expense for the
21 months from April 1, 1949, to
December 31, 1950, at $407,119.64,
plus another $124,420.88 for vehicle
operation.
These totals do not include all
expenditures for travel expense and
vehicle operation since In several
departments all expenditures are
lumped as •'Administrative Ex
pense.”
Largest departmental expendi
tures for the two items, as listed
by the Auditor, were:
Department of Agriculture: $4,
932.04 for travel.
Department of Fisheries: $21,
894.94 for travel; $1,326.42 for ve
hicle operation.
Department of Mines: $14,351.80
and $344.54.
Alaska Aeronautics Division: $8,
510.21 and $30.
Alaska Communications Division:
$2,510.92 for travel.
Highway Engineer: $18,326.65 and
$46,938.93.
National Guard: $7,716.56 and
$7.75.
Employment Security Commis
sion: $38,564.56 for travel.
Department of Health: $181,146.82
and $73,623.14.
Department of Labor: $11,605.63
for travel.
World War II Veterans' Fund:
$16,179.67 and $1,205.90.
Department of Education: $12,
711.50 for travel.
Attorney General: $4,419.73 for
travel.
Alaska Statehood Committee:
$2,485 for travel.
Department of Taxation: $25,
572.98 and $50.51.

HOUSE BILL
141 PASSES
SECOND TIME
(Continued from Page One)
intention in writing the law and
that a change would be detrimneta!
to employers.
Because the Employment Securi
ty Commission has not complied
with the decree and order of the
District Court, Faulkner said, con
tempt proceedings are being sought
against it this afternoon.
"We will show the Court that we
are not in contempt," said John
McLaughlin, director of the Unem
ployment insurance Division of the
Commission. "It takes a lot of time
to recompute all of the credits and
we have been working overtime on
it.”
The House recessed at noon, to
reconvene at 1:30.
Saturday Session
Controversial H. B. 141, providing
for reorganization of financial con
trol offices of the Territory, passed
the House Saturday afternoon by
a 16-8 vote after a good deal of
parliamentary jangling, some heat
ed debate and several postpone
ments.
Final action on the bill was held
over until today, however, when
Rep. Doris Barnes gave notice of
her intention to reconsider her vote. |
A motion to take the reconsideration
vote immediately fell one short of
receiving the necessary two-thirds
majority.
Voting against passage of the
bill were Reps. Hendrickson, Hope,
Laws, Locken, MacKinnon, Misco
vich, Stepovich and Wilbur, all Re
publicans except Hope who evident
ly voted with an eye to becoming a
minority member of the Conference
Committee that may finally receive
the bill.
A motion by Rep. Miscovich that
Governor Gruening be invited to
appear before the House and com
ment on the bill was voted down
7-16 .
“We are the legislative branch
of the government and it would be
just as sensible for us to invite all
four District Judges to testify as
to call on the administrative
branch,” said Rep. McCutcheon.
"I wanted to find out, if reor
ganization is needed in such a hur
ry right now, why the Territory
hasn’t been run right for the past
10 years,” Miscovich commented.
Too Much Power
Opposition to the bill, voiced by
Reps. Barnes, Miscovich and Stepo
vich, was mainly on the grounds
that it places too much power in
the hands of the Governor and that
the action on the measure has been
too hasty.
“I think it is a good bill consider
ing that we have spent only two
weeks on it altogether, but a bill of
this importance should have much
more study.” said Rep. Barnes.
“The bill does away with two se
lective offices, places the entire con
trol of our financial affairs in the
hands of appointive officers, pro
vides that the Governor need not
take the advice of the Board of Ad
ministration and may not stand up
because it is so hastily thrown to
gether,” said Rep. Stepovich.
i “The affairs of the Territory are
hopelessly muddled and this pro
vides a remedy,” asserted Rep. Sca
venius. “It is the answer putting
our bookkeeping in order so that
it can show the true condition of
Territorial finances," said Rep
Franklin.
Basically Simple
“It is basically a simple bill and
there has long been a crying need
for this type of legislation,” said
Rep. McCutcheon. “It will eliminate
many overlapping features of our
present set-up and put our affairs
in order for statehood.”
Rep. Metcalfe too,k exception to
a Daily Alaska Empire front page
editorial statement on Friday, which
he said, "In my estimation was one
of the poorest examples of journal
ism I have ever seen, since it was
not labeled as either an editorial
or a paid advertisement.”
“This bill,” said Rep. Kay, “not
only provides for a partial reor
ganization but sets the machinery
for further reorganizing plans.”
Why the Argument?
“Why are we doing all this talk
ing?” Rep. Laws wanted to know.
“Everybody knows the Democrats
are going to vote solidly for the
bill, so why not vote and get it
over with?”
The vote, several times delayed
by other business and to secure
the attendance of all members, was
taken in mid-afternoon.
The bill, following the reconsider
ation vote, goes to the Senate for
further consideration.
The House unanimously passed
and sent to the Senate a bill to ex
tend general relief assistance, under
the Department of Public Welfare,
to Native as well as white resi
dents of the Territory — provided
that the Bureau of Indian Affairs
contracts to turn over to the Ter
ritory its appropriations for relief
assistance to the Natives.
Hugh Wade, area director of the
Alaska Native Service, told the
House members that he has auth
ority to enter into such a contract.
“We want to get out of the wel-!
fare business,” Wade said, and add
ed that his only concern is whether
the Territory will have sufficient
funds to take care of the program
“How well are you taking care of
the Natives now?” asked Rep. Mis
covich.
“Not very well," Wade replied. He
said that general relief assistance
payments to Natives had been about
half the amount paid to white re
cipients. He also suggested that the
Territory take over the ANS wel
fare programs on a piecemeal basis,
starting with general relief assist
ance this year and picking up board
ing home care and medical pro
grams in the future.
Wade said the ANS had $242,780
for its entire welfare program last
year and that $164,000 has been
requested for the general relief
assistance portion of the program
next year.
Pay No Taxes
In answer to a question by Rep.
Miscovich, Wade said that five In
dian-owned salmon canr tries in
Southeast Alaska, most of them
purchased through Wheeler-How
ard Act loans, do not pay trap
taxes, case taxes or other taxes to
the Territory.
Native-owned cooperative stores
in the Second District are also ex
empt, he said.
“What would happen to our fi
nances if all the Alaska salmon can
neries are puchased by the Indians
with Wheeler-Howard Act loans?"
Rep. Hendrickson wanted to know.
Wade was excused from answer
ing. He said, however, that the ex
emption is based on an opinion by
the Attorney General and doubt
has been expressed that it would
stand up in court.
Would Urge Payment
“We would urge them to pay all
Territorial taxes as soon as their
loans are repaid and they are fi
nancially on their feet,” Wade said.
“This cannery ownership by the
Native people has a direct bearing
on the relief problem." said Rep.
Andrew Hope. “The canneries were
purchased primarily’ to insure em
ployment for these people. If the
canneries are prosperous it will cut
down on the amount of relief need
ed by these people and I am sure
that they will be happy to pay taxes
the same as other people.”
Wade warned the House mem
bers that it will probably cost more
for the Welfare Department to ad
minister the general relief program
among the Natives than it costs the
Alaska Native Service.
Teachers’ Retirement
House Bill 85, also unanimously
approved and sent to the Senate
amends the Teachers’ Retirement
Act by providing for compulsory1
retirement at age 60 instead of 65
and permitting retired teachers to
engage in teaching in the States
while receiving retirement benfits.
Hous Bill 41, to repeal the Alaska
Property Tax Act, failed to pass the
House on a 12-12 vote after long
debate and some parliamentary
maneuvering.
A motion by Rep. McCutcheon to
indefinitely postpone the bill lost
8-16.
Attacking the repeal bill, Rep.
McCutcheon pulled out all the stops,
cited lack of funds to increase pen
sions for the pioneers, a treasury
deficit and a need for all possible
revenues. He repeated, too, the often
repeated story of the vast value of
absentee-owned salmon canneries
"that pay no taxes while we are
taxed to build schools and streets
and churches and all other things
that make up an Alaskan com
munity.”
Hampers Progress
Rep. Stepovich named the proper
ty tax a b4r to progress in building
up the industries of the Territory.
Rep. Wells, one of the authors of
the bill, asserted that it is a great
hardship on the Native people who
can ill afford to pay it, while Rep.
Hope contended that it is no hard
ship to the Natives because their
properties are not generally of great
value.
“The law is now in litigation and
isn’t bringing a cent into the treas
ury,” said Rep. Hendrickson. “It
would be dangerous to count on it
as a source of revenue in making
up a budget.”
"I don’t want to be in the position
of voting to kill a tax law that
might bring in badly needed rev
enues,” said Rep. Franklin. “I do
wish to point out, however, that
it costs about 22 cents to collect
each dollar under the property tax
whereas the collection costs of other
taxes are about three cents on the
dollar.”
The House adjourned somewhat
hastily after the 12-12 vote on the
property tax, obviously for the pur
pose of preventing a reconsideration
notice or recinding action.
