~ THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE- —JUNEAU, ALASKA B SATURDAY, MARCH 23, 1946 TWO LEGISLATORS IN DIVERSION IN HOUSE ON FRIDAY Passing diversion swept the Ter- ritorial House yesterday afternoon as Representative Warren Taylor com- plained that Representative Alaska | Linck had called him a “hatchet- man” in her column in the Fair- banks News-Miner and demanded that Mrs. Linck resign from the House, drcp her column or apolo- gize. The word “hatchevman” is “ne- farious” and implies “surreptitious,” dishonest activiti Taylor said. To strengthen his cause he quoted precedent from the 1943 legislative | seesion in which, he recalled, Rep- | resentative A, P. Walker of Ketch- ikan was denied the privilege of the floor until he had apologized for certain printed opinions. The News-Miner column in ques- read in part: k! . . after lunch, hatchetmen McCutcheon and Taylor had done their work well and supporters of the bill were fortunate to salvage what was left from the debris The bill referred to was H. B. 4, the | primary blanket ballot referendum. Taylor denied that he had voted along the lnes implied in Mrs. Linck’s column Comes Right Back Instantly crossing hatchets with Taylor, Mrs. Linck said she was not a pfaid member of the News-Miner staff and that her column was re- cognized as expressing her own op- inion and not necessarily the pa- per’s views. She added that she would discortinue her column if the House so desired but on no ac- count would apologize now or at any future date unless proved wrong. Rep. Curtis Shattuck suggested TO LET YOU SEE AND FEEL GENEROUS SWATCHES OF SPRING WOOLENS Once more you can see and feel actual swatches of woolen goods before you order.

Two Alternatives Stabler suggested two alterna- | tives: 1—The Council may itself figure, out a set of rates it considers fair and reasonalle. 2—The Council may give the AEL&P an opportunity to set up a | rate schedule which will meet with | the Council’s approval. Stuart interrupted to state that the light ccmpany is now working Stabler warned that the rates finally fixed should not be such as to give the company a “bare re-! turn” on its investment. It is not' advisable, he cautioned to cut the rates so low as to adversely affect efficient service, Faulkner then added that there is still another element to be con- sidered—the future of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company, from which the AEL&P purchase a large proportion of its energy. There again are two alternatives, Faulkner said: i 1—If the mine reopens it may need all its power and the lighti company msy have to look else-: where. 1 2—If the mine does not reopen, ' the A-J’s present stand-by costs of ' $216,000 a year cannot go on inde- finitely and the AEL&P may have | to either buy the A-J's generating plant or again look elsewhere for | power. He cited the Hope Gas Company ' decision by tie Supreme Court, the keystone of the administration’s attack on present AEL&P rates, | that the company must be allowed | to maintain a solvent position so that it can attract capital, espee- | ially as it is faced with a ukelihoodl of having to reach out and develop more power to supply its customers. AEL&P undivided profits of more | than half a million dollars may now look large, he pointed out, but half of them should be in reserve for replacement of present facili- ties. New Element i Stabler pgreed that Faulkner had | brought out an element that should also be taken into’ consideration in | public has proclaimed by Ordinance No. 45-1820 a National Solidarity Tax. { In,the United States returns for its | assessment must be filed by French citi- zens, American citizens and nationsls ‘of all other countries covering property ' situated in France, owned by them on June 4th., 1945; real estate, business and’‘manufacturing enterprises, bank accounts and deposits, holdings in ’ French securities, claims on French debtors, investments in French compa- nies. The nature of property to be wvaries however with the na- tionality of the taxpayers residing out~ side of France. Persons whose total property is worth' less than Frs. 200,000 are tax exempt. . Official declaration forms will be | available on March 15th., 1946, at the | French Consulate General, 690 Market ; Street, San Francisco 4. i A delay of four months for fling the | statements has been granted to persons residing in the United States.
