SENATOR'S
 pA5S TAX DEPT. A(T
S1OO,0OO Appropriation Included 10 Cover Ad-
 ministrdtive Costs

Having apparently tnreshed put most of the points -at-issue during their private conclave on the meas ure yesterday morning, Alaska z senior legislative group made short work of approving the Taxation Department bill, Senate No. 37 when they went back to work again after lunch yesterday.
 Three new amendments were speedily written into the measure before it was moved ahead for pas sage The Tax Commissioners sal ary provided in the bill, originally set at S7,500 a year and decreased Thursday to $6,000 year, was moved up again one notch to Sla,- 250. That action was a forerunner of action that the Senate may be expected to take on another bill, to increase the pay of all Territorial office heads by 20 per cent.
 Another amendment provided for reports of the Taxation Department to be turned in to the Governor for transmittal to the Legislature. The appropriation for administrative ex- penses was set at S100,000.
 Sentiment varies
 Discussion preceding the final vote evoked some opposition senti- ment, as we'll as fayoring express sions. Senator O. D. Cochran stig- matized the bill as creating just another bureau over which the people would have no control"
 He and Senator Joe Green both contended Tax Commissioner would be no more successful in collecting revenues for the Terri tory than the present machinery could be-provided the Treasurer were given similar authority and freedom of action as the bill pro- vides for the Tax Commissioner plus adequate appropriations.
 When the Territory adopts sales tax, income tax or some other less simple taxing system then that now in effect, will be soon enough to provide separate tax collection department, Senator Cochran de- clared
 Senator Frank Gordon took a personalized swing at Treasurer Oscar Olson, intimating that the Treasurer has been too easy-not assertive enough"
 Economy minded Senator Frank Whaley supported the bill by stating his opinion that added col lections under it's provisions would more than offset the $100,O00 ad- ministrative appropriation, while Senator N. R. Walker pointed out that the Treasurer's appropriation is already $17,500 plus $77,000 paid out in commissions to tax collectors
 Divorce Wanted
 Senator Grenold Collins, co-spon- sor with Senator Walker, put in a plea for divorcing tax collections from politics. The Tax Commis- sioner's and Treasurer's are two different jobs, he said, and should be kept separate.

The same old battle that took place over a similar provision in No. "A was yesterday afternoon re-enacted over No. To- Pros and cons were repeated and the attempts to cut the levy to $50 per gallon were again beaten off.

 Watch House Action
 The Senators, in mood to pass the measure, decided to hold it up in second reading till the last minute in order to watch House action on the Walker measure fearing to give the House a chance to pick the wrong bill.
 Also held in second reading was Senator Brownellsr Senate Joint Memorial No 20, asking that the Civil Aeronautics Authority fran chise main coastal airline to Alaska from the Pacific Northwest. On motion by Senator Collins, that portion of the prayer asking cer- tification of connecting trunk air. lines within the Territory was stricken. Let the best man win . was the view expressed by the young flyer-Senator.
 Having disposed of all Senate originated measures on their call endar, the solons declared them- selves satisfied with their days achievements, and adjourned until this morning at. 10 o'clock.

only Senators Cochran, Green and Howard Lyng saying Nay" The emergency clause also was passed by l3 to 3 vote.
 Senator Don Carlos Brownell's proposal that the Territory pur- chase the Fort Raymond Hospital, near Seward, for $14,500, Senate Bill No. 32, gained Senate approval after an amendment had been appended to insure that the Terri tory would not be left holding an empty hospital. Vote on the meas ure was IA to ?, with the emerg ency clause being passed without dissent.
 Vets May Use It
 Declaring it very likely that the Veterans Administration would soon be looking for just such a piece of real estate for an Alaska Veterans Hospital, Senator Brow nell offered an amendment provid- ing that the purchase would not be consummated unless some agency or society should first guarantee that the hospital would not become a burden to tEe Territory. The amendment was adopted and car ried enough weight to swing a favoring vote tor the bill.
 Senate Bill No 57, by Senator Walker, asking a referendum vote of the Territory's citizens on the issues of blanket primaries and di- rect election of National Party Committeeman, held the spotlight briefly yesterday, but promised more interesting developments for today. The measure was held over when Senator Lyng backed his re- quest with ., a declaration that he had a few punches to let fly at the measure and, Senator Andrew Ner- land declared that he also had a few rounds of ammunition to fire in its behalf
 Amendments to the bill yesterday were only minor in nature, includ- ing Committeewomen on the ballot and changing Committeeman to Committeeman. Senator Lyng objected to the plural form in be- half of Albert White, avering that Republicans should be kept out of the picture.
 Party Politics
 The. intricacieS of party politics and patronage really came out into the open; however, when the Sen ators moved on to second reading Senate Bill No. 59. by SeYRtors Allen Shattuck and WhaleY The bill provides for Divisional caucuses of Legislators for primary action on Legislative confirmation of ap- pointments. Some Senators declared that they already were being pre- viously consulted on nominees from their Divisions. Others, apparently have not received such considera- tion. Senator Nerland spotlighted the danger in the measure of party majorities within the separate Di- visions having the power to force rejection of worthwhile appointees of differing political faith.
 The bill was held in second read ing, after motion, by Senator Brownell, for indefinite postpone ment had failed.
 The Senate encored an act per- formed earlier in the session when Senator Tolbert Scott's bill to raise the whiskey tax finally struck day. light again. The measure had been tucked away in dark corner of the Taxation Committee drawer for more than a month. It was finally pulled out to act as stop-gap, should Senate Bill No. "A, Senator Walkers Liquor Excise Tax meas ure, fail to carry in the House. The Scott bill simply provides an increase in the tax levy on hard liquors from $1 to $2 per gallon
