SENATE DEMANDS SpEEDIER HOUSE
 ACTION ON BILLS

Members of the top drawer of the Alaska Legislature, who have been wondering what has happened to their bills after they've hit the House, boiled over yesterday after noon and called for joint commit tee to find ways and means of ex- pediting legislation.
 Both chambers recessed at 4 o'clock while five members from each went into confab to see what could be done to clear up bottle necks. Apparently, the Senators laid down the law to their confreres, for when the House resumed de- Alterations it dove into action on the mounting backlog of measures from the other end of the hall.
 Included in the report of the joint committee was a recommends tion for change in the House Rules to provide for First Reading of Senate Bills immediately follow ing their receipt in the lower as- semblage.

 TAX BILL IS
 DISGUISED

The battle began today in the House of Representative over the Property Tax Bill, with a Commit tee of the Whole hearing.
 Interior Department Attorney Sllverman, who declared he aided in drafting the measure, but was mo tax expert" took the floor by chair invitation to answer questions on the bills structure.
 Sllverman prefaced the discus sion by statements that the bill follows British Columbia measure closely, that the application of the act is incumbent on passage of the Senate land registration act and that the tax is directed principally at non-taxpaying lands outside of unlncorporated towns.
 It was brought out during uues- tloning by w. c. Arnold, salmon

''DUFFY'5
 TAVERN"
 THE THIRD
Senate Apes House Mad ness in tumble Over
 Agricultural Bill

The mild form of madness that imbues Alaska's House of Represen- tatives seems to be contagious-foI this morning the usually more staid 1 Senate aped the antics of "Duffy's l Tavern"
 Things were riding along fairly smoothly in the Senate corner when Senator Joe Green came up with an inoffensive suggestion that loosed cage of squirrels. Senator N. R Walkers bill to establish an Agri- cultural Experiment Commission and Laboratory, Senate Bill No. 34, had bumped through second reading and gathered an aura of minor amend ments, most of them proposed by the author.
 The bill was just about to be toss ed into the hands of the Engrossing Committee when Senator Green ask ed if it would not be wise to tag on small amendment to require action by the Auditor of Alaska on all vouchers for expenditure. Sen. Shat tuck fell in with the suggestion, inn mediately and proposed and moved to that effect Senator Walker up- rose with the contention that the amendment was excess verbiage", as such action was normal routine for all vouchers before payment by the Territorial Treasurer. A hurry" call was sent out for Auditor Frank Boyle, but he was not available. Af- ter "fussing around" a bit more, the Senators voted to adopt the amend ment anyway. It carried by 9 to 2 margin.
 Not licked yet, the author moved that the Senate rescind its action on the amendment. Much more ado about nothing" ensued, with Sena- tor Walker declaiming that the amendment, as adopted, would in effect make the Auditor a member of the Agricultural Experimental Commission set up by the bill. What does he have to do with farming?' the Ketchikan Senator asked.
 Still on the quest for outside opin- ion, the Senators called for appear ance of Territorial Treasurer Oscar Olson. He testified that at present no funds were paid out by his office except on warrants drawn by the Auditor. Whether the bill under con- sideration could effect that condition he could not say. No one called for the Attorney-G General to get his opinion-the Senators voting, in- stead, on the motion to rescind. It carried by 10 to count
 Then was posed the question as to just what motion, if any, lay be- fore the body. Did the Senate still have to vote over again on Senator Shattuck's motion to amend-or, was that motion automatically killed by the vote to rescind.
 President Edward D. Coffey turn ed that little problem over to the Rules Committee and called a recess until 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. When the solons went to lunch, they still didn't know whats what"
