ALASKA AT (R055R0AD5
 SAYS GOV.
Suggests Three Alterna- lives to Avert Prob
 able Deficit

Gov. Ernest Gruenlng tOuay tOlu joint session of the Territorial Legislature that Alaska is now at the crossroads, that the action ta- ken within the next 50 days by the legislators now assembled for their sixteenth session will have an inn portant bearing on the future Of the Territory.
 The Chief Executive claimed that through the failure of the last Leg islature to enact the proposed tax plan, large amount of revenue was lost forever.
 Revenues that might have been secured" he said. would have more than solved all the Territory's fis- cal problems for the duration"
 May Face Deficit
 Earlier he said that the Territor- ial government may face a deficit due to the fact that gold mining and fishing operations have been curtailed on account of the war He said that the primary and sec ondary educational system faces a serious crisis.
 At the same time, he pointed out that the report of the Board of Budget shows that estimated ap- propriations and estimated revenue through present facilities leave a gap of more than million dollars.
 He suggested three alternatives 10 solve the problem.
 l-Curtail radically the opera tions of the Territorial govern nent
 2-Make lesser reductions such as suggested by the Board of Budget and trust that the revenue will be enough.
 3-Strike out on the path of common sense and vision to put our government house in order at the earliest moment"
 Tax Views Same
 The Governor said that his views of taxes for the Territory have not differed in the last two years. He called the present system a patch work tax system and urged tax reform, coming out strongly against a sales tax which he said would be particularly obnoxious and in- defensible because it would scarce ly touch those who come up here for a brief season each year mere ly to extract wealth from Alaska and take it outside with them" Gov. Gruening sounded a note of optimism when he said that the economic situation of the Terri tory in actuality still is very good He referred to war construction and employment with wages higher for workers than ever before in the history of Alaska. At one point in the address, he said that it also might be possible that the estimate of possible rev enueS err on the side of conserva- tisin.
 The Governor delivered his mes sage shortly after ? o'clock The gallery of the House Chambers was packed and some stood outside of the open gallery doors to hear the address
