The measure would carry a ba- sic $25 license fee on all business- es ‘and professions, with one-half of one per cent levied on gross income above $20,000. Even if the Senate should ap- prove it, it wouldn’t become ef- fective until Congress repeals the present “hodge podge” business 1i- cense tax provisions affecting Al- aska, proponents said. Voting against the bill were Democratic Reps. Amelia A. Gun- dersen, Marcus Jensen and James Nolan, all of the First Division; and Republican Rep. George Mis- covich, Fourth Division. The House concluded the after- noon session by passing Rep. Carl-, son’s bill to increase the hair seal kounty from $3 to $6. An amend- ment by Rep. Almer Rydeen of Nome to include fiye Native vill-{ ages north of Kotzebue in the area qualifying for bounties was‘p adopted. i Denounced As Sales Tox Passage of the business llcense! tax Bill came after critics de-, nounced it as a form of sales tax. | Proponents denied- this and argued ' Jdt “was a necessary prop I the, basic Territorial tax structure.

H Drug stores were cited specm-, cally as paying only a $50 annual, license fee while smaller stores in | other lines paid many times more. Rep. Percy E.
