He expressed a very high re- gard for the laws of the State of Wisconsin. In an unusual sort of statement to come from a staunch “New Dealer,” Senator Frank Gordon ex- pressed his opposition to pas: of No. 65 as “infringing on the rights of the individual.” B i SENATE TABLE HOUSE HEALTH INSURANCE TAXUPPED BY SENATE i Is Provided to Cover Bowling.

Commissioner Jackson testified before an appropriations commit- tee that approximately 53,000,000 pounds of halibut were landed last ¢ year at United States and Canadian € ports and added, “our biological and statistical findings of the past W season indicate that for the coming I¢ year an additional 1,500,000 pounds can be taken without injuring the stock.” Two-thirds of the fishermen s Americans. They landed about two- thirds of the total catch, Jackson said. He also said the fishway at Hell's Gate, Fraser River, will be com- pleted before the salmon migration this spring. Jackson said, “there is 2 possibility of increasing the value of the salmon catch up to as mu as $35000,000 in the best cycle year. It was $16,000,000 in the other three cycle years.” This is a result of the work of the Internationa Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commis. sion’s work. e o 00 0 0 0 0 o WEATHER REPORT (U. S.

Cummissioners for costs ac- ciued in eniorcement of the Juve- nile Code. Following a noon recess, Senator Andrew Nerland brought in a sub- stitute for his original bill, em- bracing the changes that Senators had thought desirable. The sub- stitute for No. 66, as passed by the Senate, sets up a $2,500 appropria- tion from which all such claims by Commissioners can_ be paid by the Welfare Department. The rules were suspended and the new bil immediately passed by a 13 to 2 vote, with one Senator absent. The emergency clause was incorporated by a 15 to 0 tally No. 65, Senator Allen Shattuck’s insurance premium tax measure, ran into what appeared a serious snag during the morning, when an amendment was proposed which would have pulled the teeth from the bill. After lunch, however, the Senators voted down the amend- ment, then voted passage for the bill—12 to 3. Premium Tax Increased As passed, No. 65 increases the premium tax on all insurance risks from 2 per cent to 2': per cent, end makes liable to the tax all in- surance written in the Territory, whether by companies organized under Alaska laws or not. The disputed provision, labelled ‘“co- ercive’ by the author of the de- feated amendment, Senator Don Carlos Brownell, makes the policy holder liable for the tax in case the insuring company defaults in pay- ment. Insurance Commissioner, Auditor Frank Boyle, outlined the provisions as desirable. It is intended, he said, to influence Alaska residents to take their insurance in companies autherized by Alaska law and from which the tax can be collected. Large Revenue Expected Boyle stated that the Territory hds been missing out on an esti- mated 65 per cent of possible reve- nue from its insurance tax. Many of the Territorys largest industries, such as many salmon canneries, now write their insurance in out- ompanies which pay no tax Alaska, he said. Mr. Boyle said he anticipated $150,000 in revenue DEPT.
