He <conferred yesterday with Gov. Erhest Gruening and a group of Juneauites on the proposed ex- tension of the present 5,000-foot strip to 7,500 feet, and was expressed as being “very sympathetic” to avi- ation problems here. “I am sure he has a g00d grasp of the local situation® said Tom Dyer, chairman of the chamber of commerce aviation committee, “and we have reason to hope he will, make a favorable recommendation for action on our airport requests. We went over the entire problem with him, and felt that good prog- ress has been made.” “Johnson has looked over some, and will remain in Aldska some six weeks to see most of the 25 air- strips - and seaplane bases now under way here, he said.

Neil Moore, deputy auditor, re- cently laid down the glove to the revenue department by declaring that without representa- tion, Alaskans should not be taxed-~ at least by the federal government. An answet he got from Tacoma, headquarters for this division, basec its reply on the code. But it skippec /any mention of the fact that the code might not be constitutional. A public accountant in Juneau C. J. Ehrendreich, criticized Moore's viewpoint and referred him to the code, which definitely includes Alaska in its provisions. “I know what the code says,” saic Moore, “but that isn’t the question The question is—is it constitution- al?” He harked back to the days of the NRA—promulgated in the early days of the Roosevelt administra- tion — when businesses all wen! | | its provisions, until it was chal- lenged and finally thrown out by the Supreme Court on grounds it was unconstitutional. f Moore bases his question on tHe fact that Puerto Rico, also a terri- tory of the United States, althoug} “unorganized,” pays no income taxes. Its organic act was passed in 1917, five years after Alaska was put on territorial status, and all laws of this country were to apply except the internal revenue code. Moore said he went over both acts with prominent Juneau attorneys, and they gave him encouragement in his challenge. In the meantime, he has written Delegate Bob Bartlett and Attor- ney General McGrath for opinions on the code, and is awaiting their replies. “But while this is going on,” said Moore, “keep on paying.” If things turn out the way he thinks they might, everyone here would. be getting it all refunded anyway, he said.
