Alaska's Fifteentl Legislature

COnVenlng III Juneau Mohudy and with Henry Roden chosen president of the Senate and H. H. McCutcheon speaker of the House the fifteenth Territorial Legisla- lure squares away for it's 60-day session.
 News of legislative doing be- comes of major importance to all Alaskans. The Nugget will pre- sent the gist of the events from day to day, as reported from the capital by representatives of the reliable old Associated Press, which serves all the more import ant dailies of the Territory.
 With the many new federal and territorial projects under way in the Territory, the extra ordinary conditions growing out of defense and other movements, Alaska never had occasion to be more concerned over matters to be dealt with by her legislators
 Doubtless numerous bills will be dumped into the legislative hopper, and there will be many a strenuous battle before their fate is determined.
 Territorial organizations and residents of every portion of Al aska should keep keenly alive to the issues before the legislature, and prepared to see that only thoa-. of merit succeed and those got in the best interest of the Territory meet the fate they de serve.
 In forecast of some of the matters liRsly to receive consid eration during the session, the Juneau Empire says editorially:
 The problems which the 18th Legis ature will face are modern problems too, matters unh ard of a few sessions ago. Social Secur- ity is the big item in Territorial Government today. The Alaska Planning Councils excellent new study Taxation in Alaska con- tains one chart showing where the 1889 A aska tax dollar went. The largest share, 39.37 cents, went for public welfare activit- ies. This expenditure exceeded even that for education (275 olnts) and transportation O6.6 cents). Conservation took 8.25 cents, administration 49 cents and miscellaneous 3.45 cents.
 Of interest on the same page is another wheel showing where the mor.y came from. Fisheries contributed the biggest slice, 405 cents of every tax dollar. Mining was c,ose behind with 33.l cents. All the rest of the taxes, school, vehicle, business and prof ssion- al liquor and miscellaneous, ac- counted for only about one fourth of Territorial income dur ing the year.
 An effort to enact a more equitable system of taxation in A aska, to dew lop new sources of revenue and thus remove some of the heavy load borne by the two industries of fishing and mining, will be made by the 18th Territorial Legislature. It is an effort which will require the best brains of the Legislature and the Territory as a whole if it is to produce egislation which is scien tific, fair and effective.
 Nothing could be more des- tructiVe of Territorial progress at this tim. than a bad tax law and nothing could contribute more to ward that progress than a good one"
