PAGE FOUR THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU ALASKA " ° the enactment of d@n amendment tosdaw per aining to taxicab stands on Fourth Avenue. The intriguing feature was the remarkable' sim- | flarity to the Territorial Legislature and its considera- tion of laws pertaining to fish traps. The councilmen correspond to the legislators. The | proposal to reduce the number of taxicabs allowed in a block was like the legislature's proposal to disburse fish trap ownership by means of a progressive tax. | The ta: b operators were in the same position of the canned salmon industry resisting the progressive tax. Stanley McCutcheon, appearing as counsel for the | taxicab operators, duplicated exactly the appearance lof W. C. Arnold before the legislature in behalf of ‘()n- canned salmon industry. | At Juneau, McCutcheon was an ardent proponent — | of the graduated tax on fish traps. He had no patience with the arguments of W. C. Arnold against it. But last night he depended upon the councilmen-legislators to heed his pleas in behalf of his taxi-cab-fish-trap- operators. : : N Ddily Alaska Empire Published every evening except Sunday by the EMPIRE PRINTING COMPANY Second and eets, Juneau, Alaska.

NATIONAL Fourth Avenue With this dual perspective as a background, the discussion of the taxicab stands proved gripping. After all, the cab stands are a public resource. They involve a section of pavement owned by the people of Anchorage. The cab operators pay a tax for the use of it. Likewise, fish trap sites are a public re- {source. They involve a section of shoreland and | water owned by the people. The trap operators pay a tax for the use of it. | Mr. McCutcheon, standing in the spot of Mr. | Arnold before the legislature, pleaded for no hasty ‘m‘(iun that would hurt the * and asked for ! time to confer with the “ope: and obtain what- | ever cooperation the legislators desired to haidle the | “trap sites” properly and to the best interests of all. | He pointed out that the “people” complain to the ‘cab owner when their cars are not readily available. The salmon industry contends that the “people” complain of food shortages and fish traps are neces- ago, the Air Transport sary to assure the maximum catch. A hint of the interesting background of the pro- | ceedings was injected by Mayor Manders after Mc- Cutcheon had argued that the cab operators “pay i big tax to the city” for the right to have their| stands. “But Stanley,” said the mayor. “You wouldn't be in favor of a progressive tax on cab stands, would you?” To which the legislator replied, “I favor a pro- | gressive tax but not in this instance.” ATC ANNIVERSARY In Detroit several days Command of the United States Army observed the fourth anniversary of its birth. While it still is an infant in swaddling clothesy compared with many other branches of service, the ATC is doing a mansized job It has expanded air routes, starting from scratch, to all corners of the earth. A world-flier recently declared that he could close his eyes almost anywhere on earth, let his airplane glide and it would land on an ATC base. While this is an exaggeration, of course, it paints a vivid picture of what ATC has done in its short lifetime. 4 | The finale of the session was also interesting for | e et et o o L e 161610 MoCutchaan i thal poslaon GLisIHE R % i > » power to halt the progress of legislation which was once every 51 minutes.
