LUTHER HESS TALKS TAXES
 FOR ALASKA
Fairbanks Man Says New Demands Almost Ger
 tain to Be Made

Recommendation for a genera ] property tax and requests for con
 siderable more Territorial revenu
 will almost certainly be mad
 when the Legislature meets in Ju neau next month, Luther c. Hess of Fairbanks said when he re- turned home last week after att tending the annual meeting here of the Alaska Planning Council, of which Hess is Fourth Division member.
 Hess said that no proposals came before the body as to means of raising additional revenue, but ne gathered from the trend of the discussions that a program will be submitted to the Legislature, pos sibly by Governor Ernest Gruening, which will require about $1,50O.0O0 additional revenue per biennium.
 Governor Gruening. ex4)fficio member of the Council" said MT Hess, was present. but neither he nor anyone else asked us to sub init any suggestions as to new tax channels nor did he suggest addi- tional revenues,
 Intent Listener
 If any recommendation for more taxes or new tax channels develop they likely will come from the Governor" said Hess In the Council meeting he intimated noth- ing on these lines, and was an in- tent listener, not offering any pro- posals as to procedure himself. However, I feel he will ask the Leg islature for considerable more rcve- ue. Auditor Frank Boyle estimat- ed a half million more will be need I ed for purposes in prospect for the biennium Possibly an additional sum of about $6OO,000 would be needed to carry out the mooted erection ol joint armories and civic centers. Undoubtedly these things will come up for definite considera- ton by virtue of plan to be laid before the Legislature from official sources.
 Tax Ideas
 MT. Hess said that he believed a general property tax is almost certain to be recommended, but he believed it would be very difficult to list property and to put ma chinery to that end in operation. He favored proceeding slowly and cautiously
 MT. Hess said there is likelihood of requests for increased school and health services that will call for more revenues. He expressed the opinion certain large school com outside Of incorporated towns should be established as dis { tricts, which would be expected to contribute at least a share of the cost of their maintenance, to oper- ate separate from any city and to be governed by elected or ap- pointed directors.
 Urges Enforcement
 Hess said he believed the Terri tory might get away from necessity of additional taxes if it provided proper means of enforcement of revenue laws, cutting off l the leakages from gold tax and { other collections, which are now { without supervision or means of l collection from various producers and owners who share royalties; { and general better revenue col ( lection system He also spoke in c

Washington, Nov. 1-(UP)-Con-
troll Of the House of Representatives
as well as the Presidency is at
stake in the general election, Nov. S.
Every one of the 435 seats in
the House is to be filled except the
three already settled by Names
September voting.
The Republican Party hopes to
avGnge its defeats of 1882 and
1898 by electing Wendell L. Willie
president and Senator Charles l..
McNary vice president, and by
capturing control of the House of
Representatives. 1t has not con-
trolled the House since 1890.
President Roosevelt-with Henry
A. Wallace as. his running-mate this
time instead of John N. Garner
hopes to win the first third term in
history. The Democrats, who are
certain to hold a majority in the
Serate until at least 1912. also
hope to retain control of the House.
In 1886 Mr.. Roosevelt over
whelmed the Republican nominee
Alfred NJ. Landon, captured every
state but Maine and Vermont and
got 523 of the 531 electoral college
votes.
Then Mr.. Roosevelt polled 27,476,-
673 popular votes, to Landon's 49,
679,583.
Republicans hope this year to
make sizeable gains in the Senate
and wrest control of the House
from the Democrats, regardless of
the outcome of the Presidential
race.
Sc Vacancies in Senate
There are SO seats at stake, 25
of them now held by Democrats,
nine by Republicans, one Farmer
Laborite and one Progressive. Be-
cause many of those democratic
seats are in the South, it will be
impossible for the Republicans to
take control of the Senate. But
they hope to white away at the
total of SO seats now held by the
Democrats.
The hopes of the LaFollette Pro-

Control OF House Of Representatives
Hinges On Nationwide Vote, Nov. 5

gressive party in Wisconsin hinge
on the fight of Sen. Robert M. La
Toilette, Jr, for reelection. LaFol-
lette, sponsor of the anti-third term
resolution passed by the Senate
during the Coolidge administration,
reversed his former stand midway
in the current campaign, and an
nounced his support Of Mr.. Roose-
welt.
Congressman and senator's elect
elected this November will take office
on Jan. 3, 1941.
A complete turnover is theoretic-
ally possible in the House. In the
1888 election, the Republicans gained
81 seats. House Republican Leader
Joseph Martin, Jr., confidently pre-
dicted another heavy Republican
gain in the house this year. Demo-
cratic Leader John w. Mccormack,
Mass, disputed this and said the
Democrats would gain membership.
Most CT the 1888 losses were due,
he said, to local fights" which UNI
dermined Democratic strength.
These sectional battles have been
largely eliminated in the current
campaign. Mr. Mccormack said.
Currently, the House has 258
Democrats, 1877 Republicans one
Farmer-Labor member, two Pro-
gressives, and one American-Labor
party member, and six vacancies.
Maine Elections Over
A gain of 81 seats for the Re-
publicans would give them 218
members, a majority, and control
of the lower branch Of the nation
al legislature. Should this happen,
regardless of the outcome Of the
presidential and senate races, The
Republicans would be in position
to make their views felt strongly.
A Republican House could veto adj
ministration bills passed by the
Democratic Senate.
Maine held its election Sept. 9,
returning a Republican delegation
to the house. and electing Rep.
Ralph. o. Brewster, Republican
Senator Frederick Hale, who did
not run for reelection.
