Facing an. expanded need for revenue to carry some of the bu- reaus that have been added by the current Legislature, b1 and with no pay-off n sight from the dor- mining industry, the Sen- dug as deep as they felt could go into the cannery ators’ pockets—levying a new case tax and upping trap license Ihe uncertain future of other revenue measures now before the egislature was emphasized when ate dug into the Taxation Committee files to bring out Senate Eill No. 53, introduced by Senator ¥ quite some time ago but forgotten. Senator L s original measure provided r case taxes of 8 cents on and Red Salmon, and 4 cents and only for one year— sterday, however, the Sen- Finance Committee pulled out the ¢ld trap licensing law and did @ re-furbishing job on it by means of amendments to Senate Bill 53. Where the case taxes are only temporary, the license fee increases are provided as permanent legisla- tion According to the mittee amendments Finance Com- adopted by the Senate before it passed the measure by a 15 to 1 count, Senator Joe Green dissenting; the license fee on hand-driven or stake traps would be raised from $50 to $75 per year; pile-driven or floating traps from $200 to $300, including “dummy traps' the levy on each 1,000 salmon caught by a single trap over 100,000 would be in- creased from $2 to $4, The bill carries an emerg y clause. One Year Levy It was explained that the can- nery interests had reed to as- sume the additional tax burden imposed by the bill for one year only because of the likelihood of large lots of canned salmon, now contracted for by the armed vices, being “dumped or market after the cessatior ser- the of hos- real young and 3ay. .. as a new adcleth | ..

Following its passage, Senate Bill 53 became the butt of legislative jockeying, as exponents of other revenue measures attempted to sidetrack it in order to force pas- sage of their pet tax bills. With the bill pushed through the Senate just in time to get across to the House before the end of the fiftieth day, after which a two-thirds vote would be required for its acceptance by the lower chamber, Senator H. H. McCutcheon moved for recon- sideration of the vote, hoping to |delay the measure until Tuesday. Senate President Edward D. Cof- ‘!ey, however, countered with . a |move for suspension of the rules to allow a new vote to be taken immediately. Senator McCutcheon then withdrew his motion in favor of a notice for reconsideration by Senator “Fair and Just” Gordon, The Gordon strategem was, how- ever, ruled out of order and the bill went merrily on its way down the hall to the House—amid cries of “skullduggery.” nderground Infiuences” Senator Auen Sunduuck bounced to his feet to decry the “influences underneath” the actions of the two Senators as “deplorable.” During the melee, Senator Gordon had withdrawn his notice for recon- sideration of Substitute for Senate Bill 41, the measure raising sal- aries of department heads, appar- ently with the thought that the fish tax bill would be a more strategic target; so that measure too was moved across to the House. Just previous to.going into the tangle oyer reconsideration of No. 53, the Senate had passed Senate Substitute for House Bill No. 11. The bill re-defines the powers and duties of the Territorial Depart- ment of Labor, going much farther than the original House ‘measure, which provided mainly for estab- lishment of pay periods and making the Territory responsible for col- lection of wages. Senator Mcfutcheen's Labor Committee, which re-drafted the House bill, brousht in with the new I ure a string of amend- ments that had the Senators in considerable confus Principal point of discussion was an amend- ment to provide effective date for the law. Before it had been turned down and a straight em- ergency clause substituted. Senator Leo W. Rogge got in a motion to indefinitely postpone consideration of the bill, but his move was voted down by a wide margir An amendment by Senator N. R Walker established monthly pay periods in place of the semi- monthly periods originally provided A 13 w0 3 vote finally passed the measure under suspended rules, afte enators O, D Cochran, Rogge and Shattuck had spoken against it.

Touched with clared the bill added nothing to the laws already in effect except to set up the Territory as a collection agency. Senator McCutcheon got in his turn to cry “skullduggery” when the Senate Finance Committee at- tempted to bring in a substitute for House Bill No. 65, the General Appropriations Bill. In the face of criticism of the move as an at- tempt to take over a House pre- rogative, the Finance group took back its bill to re-frame it in the form of amendments to the House' original. Satisfied that all vital measures had been transmitted to the House, — the Senators slammed the door in the face of further House bills by adjourning - until .- 10 o'clock- this morning.
