Senator Rivers suggests that unless the program he and Senator Walker propose is adopted, i will just have to be a special session of the Legislature within the next year.

Whether the Alaska Senate will respond favorably |to such a gentle prod remains to be seen Some | members of the Senate Finance Committee, among them Senator Coffey, are of the opinion that Senator Rivers knows too little about the finances of the | Territory, and believe that measures already ;pns;‘;l‘d by the Senate will be ample—providing certain , abuses in certain offices can be corrected, and economy | steps are taken.

As in the past four or five legislative sessions, income en individuals and businesses is proposed. It is the old effort to push the Territory of Alaska into a field of taxation already exploited to the saturation point by the Federal government Because Southeast Alaska communities are fav- ored by quite frequent steamship schedules, the prob- lem cf distributing the checks in this area without | the use of airmail is not acute.
