ARGUMENTS BEGUN IN CLOSING PHASE OF TRAP TAX CASE

The court lltdIlIlS LII IiiC ouA' challenging the new increased fish, trap tax went into its closing phase-that of argument and re- buttal-this morning, exactly one week after the opening statement before Judge George w. Folta.
 Both sides had rested late yes terday afternoon, in the case against Tax Commissioner M. P Mullaney brought by P. E. Harris and Company, and partners in the Mutual Trap Company, intervenors
 Saying that he wanted both evil dence and the law completely ar gued, Judge Folta announced he would not limit counsel in argu- ment, on condition that such len iency of the court would not be abused.
 On reconvening of District Court this morning, w. C. Arnold, CO., counsel for plaintiff and interven- ors, summed up evidence for his side in the case which challenges Chapter II, S.L.A., l949.
 Cost Differentials
 Most of the evidence has pertain ed to cost differentials between trap and seine-caught fish, costs of trap and cannery operations and their allocations, and to pro- fit and loss of the companies in- volved.
 Schedules and reports were sub mitted by both plaintiff and defen- dant covering actual statistics for the period of 194l-48, inclusive, and projected to include the in- creased taxes. and through the l949 season.
 Arnold's voice has been heard more than any other in the trial as, besides representing both trap operators, he has been on the stand several times. He was called as witness for both plaintiff and de- fendant, and recalled for further questioning.
 Arnold having concluded his summation at noon, Attorney Frank L. Mechem began his argument on points of law when court recon vened this afternoon. He was succeeded by Attorney Edward w. Allen, who gave supplemental le- gal arguments on behalf of inter venors.
 After a short recess at o'clock, defense attorneys were heard in ar gument, Assistant Attorney General Dimond presenting points of law for the Territory, before Attorney General Williams started the con- cluding defense argument.
 Rebuttal arguments for plaintiff and intervenors are expected to take up part of tomorrow, when the case probably will be taken under advisement by Judge Folta.
 Permanent Injunction
 P E. Harris seeks a permanent injunction restraining collection of the new taxes. and ruling that the act lChapter ID is null and void.
 Plaintiff and intervenors charge that the new tax law is an un- lawful burden on interstate com- merce, unreasonahly discriminating between fixed and mobile gear and between operators. and such as to increase the cost of operations to the extent of forcing closure, also that the retroactive provision ,s invalid
 They had rested the case for the defense yesterday after calling Arnold in his capacity as manag- ing director of Alaska Salmon h. dustry, Inc, as a defense witness. Williams questioning brought out extended testimony on negotiations of fish prices with the unions in l948 and l949
 In rebuttal, plaintiff recalled Arnold, who was succeeded on the stand by Walter H. Tuesley, head

out this differs widely from the

Under the social security system
the size Of pension payments is de-
termined by wages received in
working years.

Estimating the cost at $1,000 :
100000 year for providing fat
S100 monthly pensions to those
over IS, Taft said:
"Of course, no such sum can be
paid out of any pension fund ac-
cumulated on a sound actuarial
basis. The reserve would be so huge
that it would have to purchase
most Of the property in the coun-
try"
He said the only way pensions
can be paid to millions who have
retired and are not working is out
of the current earnings of those
who are working.
Taft said these earnings "must
be reached through some form of
taxation" He said this could be
tax on pay, on income, on sales; or
it might be paid from profits by
employers; or it could "be raised
by a transaction tax as proposed in
