ACT 5100,000 Appropriation Included fo Cover Ad- ministrative Costs Having apparently tnreshed out most of the points-at-issue during their private conclave on the meas- ure yesterday morning, Alaska’s senior legislative group made short work of approving the Taxation Department bill, ~Senate No. 37, when they went back to work again after lunch yesterday. Three new amendments were speedily written into the measure before it was moved ahead for pas- sage. The Tax Commissioner’s sal- aty ‘provided in the bill, originaiy set at $7,500 a year and decreased Thursday to $6,000 a year, was moved up again one notch to $'z,- 250. That action was a forerunner of action that the Senate may be’ expected to take on another bill, to increase the pay of all Territorial office heads by 20 per cent. Another amendment provided for repBrts of the Taxation Department to be turned in to the Governor for transmittal to the Legislature. The appropriation for administrative ex- penses was set at $100,000. Sentiment varies Discussion preceding the final vote evoked some opposition senti- ment, as well as favoring expres- sions. Senator O. D. Cochran stig- matized the bill as creating “just another bureau over which the people would have no control.” He and Senator Joe Green both a Tax Commissioner would be no more successful in collecting revenues for the Terri- tory than the present machinery could be—provided the Treasurer were given similar authority and freedom of action as the bill pro- vides for the Tax Commissioner; plus -adequate- appropriations. ‘When the Territory adopts a sales tax, income tax or some other less simple taxing system then that now in effect, will be soon enough to provide a separate tax collection department, Senator Cochran de- clared. Senator Frank Gordon took a personalized swing at Treasurer Oscar Olson, intimating that the Treasurer has been “too easy—not assertive enough.” Economy-minded Senator Frank Whaley supported the bill by stating his opinion that added col- lections under its provisions would more ‘than offset the $100,000 ad-| ministrative appropriation, jonly Senators Cochran, Green and Howard Lyng saylng “Nay." The emergency clause also was passed by a 13 to 3 vote. Senator Don *Carlos Brownell's proposal - that . the Territory pur- chase the Fort Raymond Hospital, near Seward, for $14,500, Senate Bill No. 32, gained Senate approval after an amendment had been appended to insure that the Terri- |tory would *not_be left holding an empty hospital. Vote on the meas- ure was 14 to 2, with the emerg- ency clause being passed without dissent. Vets May Use It Declaring it very likely that the Veterans’ Administration would soon be looking for just such a piece of real estate for an Alaska Veterans' Hospital, Senator Brow- nell offered an amendment provid- ing that the purchase would not he consummated unless some agencgy or society should first guarantee that the hospital would not become /a burden to tke Territory. The amendment was adopted and car- ried enough weight to swing a favoring vote tor the bill. Senate Bill No. 57, by Senator’ Walker, asking a referendum vote of the Territory’s citizens on the, issues of blanket primaries and di- rect election of National Party Committeemen, held the spotiight briefly yeamdny, but prnmised more interesting developments lcr today. The measure was held over | when Senator Lyng backed his re- quest with a declaration that he had a few, punches to let fly at the measure and, Senator Andrew Ner- land declared that he also had a few rounds of ammunition -to flre in its behalf. | Amendments to the bill yesterday | were only minor in nature, includ- ing Committeewomen on the ballot and changing Committeeman Committeemen. Senator objected to the plural form in be- half of Albert White, avering that | Republicans should be kept out of the picture. | Party Politics ! The. intricacies of party politics and patronage really came out into the open; however, when the Sen- ators moved on to second reading Senate Bill No. 59, by S}tors Allen Shattuck and Whaley”” The bill provides for Divisional caucuses of Legislators for primary action on Legislative confirmation of ap- pointments. Some Senators declared that they already were being pre- viously consulted on nominees from their Divisions. Others, apparently, have not received such considera- tion. Senator Nerland spotlighted 'the danger in the measure of party majorities within the separate Di- visions having the power to force rejection of worthwhile appointees (of differing political faith. | The bill was held in second read- ing, after a motion, by Senator |Brownell, for indefinite postpone- ment had failed. The Senaté encored an act per- while {formed earlier in the session when | Senator N. R.
