NO. BILL IS TAX
 ON NET INCOMES

JUNEAU - No. 1 bill in the special session legislative hopper provides for net income tax and was presented by the ways and means committee of the House. It would levy a tax of 10 per cent of the tax paid the federal govern ment under the federal income tax law with exemptions for resident taxpayers of $45. For example. if the taxpayer paid the federal gov ernment S450 his tax to the Ter nitory would be S45, but with the exemption of $45 allowed resi- dents, he would pay the Territory nothing. The measure is patterned after the federal income tax law, has withholding provisions and, if enacted would be effective for the year 1949.
 Real and personal property tax of two per cent of the true and full value of the property with one half of the amount collected within incorporated towns being refunded to the towns for school purposes is No. ? bill on the agenda, also brought in by the ways and means committee.
 Representative Marcus Jensen Of Douglas and Glen Franklin of Fairbanks have introduced a mea- sure to levy an annual license tax
 equal to four per cent of the value of the raw fish purchased by canneries and cold storage plants. Dollar value of the fish would be determined on the basis of 50 per cent of the average wholesale price in Seattle. This would include salmon, crab and clam canneries, cold storage plants and herring processing plants.
 Jensen also has presented two other fisheries bills. One would double the present License taxes on fish traps and the other would provide for fishermen's licenses at the following rates: S10 for resi- dent: $100 for nonresident and S250 for alien fishermen.

DR.. Wells has an affable, easy

DR.. Wells 43 years in the aca-

She is, of course, an ardent sup

or accepted as a citizen" she said,
should be a full citizen, both po-
