I would be worried, too, if I had not heard the testi-| mony.. I suggest that those who make such claim read the hearings in which they will find that persons from Alaska who knew their own budget well, pre- sented it time after time and justified their belief| that Alaska could function properly as a state.” So, at Sepator Anderson’s suggestion, we look again to the record of Alaska statehood hearings held before Committee on Interior and Insular Pos- sessior The th April. under discussion on page 128 of the hearings, and we will start from there: Mrs. Hermani. (Addressing Senator Anderson) « . .1 would hate to sugest that your addition is wrong there, Senator, but that budget was com- pletly balanced when I gave it to you (Laughter.) Senatar Anderson: “You start with $10,020,200.” Mrs. Hermann. “Let me find my papers.” nator Anderson. “It is very easy. You start 510,020,200, and you add $500,000 from. the sale de and $300,000 from tobacco and $825,000. » the Pribilof seals) Now that is only $1,725,000, . Mrs. Hermann. * That is right.” Senatgr Anderson. ‘Then add $17,500 the Forest Service) and you end up with $11,762,700. You add it and see what you get.” Mrs. Herinann. “What you do not have in your figures that I have estimated income that could be derived, though I am not advocating it. from increases in fuel tax. It is $850,000, fuel tax. If we double our present fuel tax, we would have $850,000.” Senator Anderson. “That is the reason I do not have it (the budget) balanced. You have snot said anything about actually putting that figure in. So, we have $850.000. That would balance it. (Laughter.) “Of course, by the same theory you could keep adding a million here and 5 million there. Does this strike you as a sensible way to balance it by the addi- tion of a fuel tax. What is your present fuel situa- tion?” \ PR (irom \ that the desire to cut costs is ever in the heart but | not always possible in_every session of the legislature It one. And this ended the budget discussion on Tues- |day, April 25, between Mrs. Hermann, fiscal expert ;m the Alaska statehood hearings and Senator Ander- | son. We get back to taxation again the following day: +» Mr. Sundborg. “Yesterday, when Mrs .Hermann | was testifying, she suggested one way we might raise | additional money would be doubling the present motor- |fuel tax. One of the members of your committee | expressed a little concern at the fact that that would be doubling of the tax and it might sound a little excessive. Let me say the motor-fuel tax applies not to all oil. I think it was said specifically yesterday it would apply to oil burned in furnaces, and so forth. Tt does not . It is a motor-fuel tax. The present rate of the Territorial tax on motor fuel is 2 cents a gallon.” Senator Anderson. “Mrs. Hermann is here. s hear what she has to say about it.” Mrs. Hermann. “I don’t know about the fuel tax, whether it is on the oil T burn in the furnaces.” M. Sundborgg My, Mullaney, the Territorial.tax commissioner is here. Maybe he can say a word on jit. May I invite him to speak?” { Senator Anderson. “Surely.” Mr. Mullaney. “Mr. Sundborg’s statement is cor- rect. It is a motor-fuel-oil tax..” So, there is the record—a part of it at least— in which Senator Anderson suggests the Senate “will find that persons from Alaska who knew their own budget well, presented it time after time and justified their belief that Alaska could function properly as a State.” Yes. The legislature can double the fuel tax and the budget will be balanced ... as simple as that, but it sounds very confused to us. Maybe Senator Anderson should refresh his mem- ory by reading the statehood hearings report once more. After all, it isn't such a long time from April to November, is it?
