On| that date there were two ships avail- | able to make the daily flights each way from Seattle to Fairbanks. In addition to completing every trip| between Seaftle and Fairbanks,| night flights to Nome were made twice weekly. On February 6 and February 13, two more Douglas Clippers were put into cervice. At that time the sche- dule was increased to nine weekly flights and the utilization of the| new equipment has increased great-! ly the service now available to Alaskans.

It then adjourned until 10 o'clock this merning without giving further cons! tion to the fish trap tax bill. The two House measures accepted for consideration by the were: House Joint Memorial No 4, relating to filing on mining claims Gruening the Committee or Back in rcgu!ur {where assessment work has been in default, and House Joint Memorial No. 22, opposing a measure now be- fore Congress for unrestricted immi- gration into Alaska of people of Finnish descent who have served henorably in the armed forces. Arugments Today listening to outsiders express their views on House Bill No. 35, Alaska’s Senators took their turns on the floor of the upper chamber this forenoon. Quick action suspended the rules to advance the measure from second into third reading, by unanimous consent. Senator Gordon complain- ed that the action was, indeed, so speedy that he was shut out from proposing a contemplated amend- ment to the “excess fish” levy.

Refutes Arguments Rep. Taylor returned to the smnd| to endeavor to refute the new argu- ments advanced by Mr. Arnold. He recited an instance where boat fish- ermen had been put to work in can- neries at a time when the fish were running exceptionally well and traps were supplying all thé fish the can-| neries could handle — not, as Mr. Arnold had said is fhe common practice in the Prince William Sound area. at a pay of $100 a day or more, 'hut at $40 a day—far less than they could have earned had they been ing that putting the issuing of trap s {licenses wholly within the discre- tion of the Commission could well open a great chance for “politics and, graft.” “We have recently voted for a De- velopment Board,” he argued. “Its purpose would be to create new op- portunities for and attract new in- Jdustries to the Territory. Is it con- sistent now to vote passage of & measure to drive out capital and an| stablished ~industry?” The war still going on, he closed, and now a dangerous time to attempt puni- tive taxation against the Territory’s major industry. When the war is over Alaska will need all the jobs it can muster to take care of a great influx of people, Senator Gordon stated his belief tkat House Bill No. 35 is a gressive measure.” Some Senators are always saying “now is not the time.
