partment on basis with other agen- cies in the Territory who now are able to share in Federal funds and as a result get Federal assistance which otherwise would not be avail able. Only additional expense to the Territory he stresses, would be the per diem expense of a three-man health commission which would meet once. may be twice, a year. At the more or less recognized rate of ten dollars per day this wouldn't run into a major cost item.
 On much-diseussed travel" sec tion, Dr. Smith was smilingly tact ful, mindful Of political potency. Brought out that trips outside Ter ritOry when so ordered are paid for out of Federal funds. Proposed bill would enable Auditor to pay such expenses out of Federal funds allot- ted Territory, thus hurdling Comp troller Generals ruling which now provides that Federal monies allot- ted Territorial agencies can be spent only for such purposes fol which Territorial funds are spent. Territorial law bars payment of travel expense outside of Territory.

 And while the anti-spenders are making their first public showing. just before the opening of the Legis- lature comes along a very ably pre- pared pamphlet on taxation com piled by John E. Pegues of the Alas ka Planning Council. The gist of Planner Pegues' message is that the Alaska tax structure is out of shape, relying too much on major estab- lished industries which sometimes have their bad moments. The thought appears to be that the en- tire Territorial tax structure needs to be overhauled, a point on which tax students are pretty generally agreed.
 To add complications to the troubled waters, along comes the end-of-the-year report of Territor- ial Treasurer Oscar Olson which re yeals that the Territory is winding up the year with one of the biggest deposits to it's credit in history for this particular period, approximate ly $790,000 in the bank.
 Reported estimates thus far are that around a million and a half additional revenue will be needed if a substantial portion of the plans are going to be put into effect That's important money in any body's league.
 Pity the poor lawmaker On one hand the anti-spenders, those who believe in get-along-without, and on the other, called for purpose of com parison, the spenders, those who say the Territory must spend more if it is to keep step with the march of progress and development.

 For some months, ever since the election, proposals have been show ing up calling for expenditure of large amounts of money. Roads, airports, schools, armOries and what-haYe-you are wanted the length and breadth Of the north land Sentiment expressed in quite a number of fairly reliable quarters is that the Territory will have to raise more revenue at the forthcom- ing session if it hopes to see even a small part of it's plans carried in to execution. Bills already are pre- pared to be thrown in the legisla- tive hopper proposing ways of rais- ing more cash for public spending.
 Meanwhile the behind-the-sceues political battle grows warmer. The anti-spenders having listened to the plans are taking the stump under the banner of economy.
