ESTIMATED INCOME TAX WARNING GIVEN

Since January Is falls on Satur- day this year, Monday, January IT. becomes the deadline for amending l948 Declarations of Estimated h. come and for paying the tax, h. ternal Revenue Collector Clark Squire reminds Federal income tax payers.
 Not all taxpayers are required to file by January IS. Those princi- pally involved are business and pro- fessional people and farmers. Pro- fesslonal people and those in blsi- ness must pay the final installment on declarations filed last March, and if they find they have underesti- mated by more than 20 per cent they must file amended declara- tions.
 Farmers were excused by law from estimating their l948 income last March. so must now file declara- tions or final returns and pay any tax due.
 Those taxpayers who are not re- quired to file until March are urged by the Collector to mail their re- turns early, especially if refunds are due.

TAX ON FISH pR0p05EDIN
 JENSEN BILL
By JAMES HUTCHINSON

A bill to tax halibut, herring, cod, clans, crab and bottom fish for the first time in Alaska head ed toward a special session of the Territorial Legislature today.
 It also would increase by an es- timated four to five times the pres ent tax on canned salmon. Rep Marcus Jensen, Democrat, president of the Douglas Packing Company drafted the bill and said he intend ed to introduce it today.
 He said he was offering it as a potential revenue source which would fluctuate with the market as preferential to property taxes Except for canning fish (salmon) the measure proposes tax of four per cent on raw fish with the value based on price paid the fisherman For canning fish, the taxing value would be 50 per cent of the whole sale value in Seattle for that spec fife kind of fish.
 Estimated on present prices, this would make the tax on sockeye about 56 cents case as compared with the present tax of 10 cents.
 The estimated revenue is about three million a year compared with about one million currently de- rived from the canned salmon in- dustry
 Jensen said he thought there was little danger of halibut being di- yerted to Prince Rupert to avoid the tax because only southernmost catches go there, amounting to about 10 per cent of the total catch the past season and fishermen couldn't afford to take the time to go to Prince Rupert and miss valu- able fishing time just to avoid a tax which wouldn't amount to more than $50 for big boatload
 Jensen said the bill was based on study of prospective Washington state legislation.

 Labor Proposed by Alaska TEL

SITKA, Alaska. Jan. l0.-tR-The building trades section of the Alaska Territorial Federation of Labor voted today to insist that all future union agreements in the construction industry in Alaska be negotiated within the Territory. The action is. directed against the negotiation of contracts outside Alaska which have been prevalent in cannery and major construction contracts.
 Newly elected President George Davis oeclared:
 Tn view of the fact that Alasxa, Americas last frontier, soon will take it's rightful place in the poli- tical and economic life in the United States with the coming of statehood, we regard the move as essential to continued growth and development of Alaska This will result in a better understanding be- tween labor and management since the agreements will be negotiated by the persons directly involved" ,"

Electrical Energy Is Key 10
 Alaska Industry Says Warne

WASHINGTON, January 10.-4R- Development of electrical energy is the key to Alaska's industry, As sistant Secretary of the Interior William E. Warne said late Satur- day.
 Within the past six months. he said, enough power. sites have been found in Alaska to multiply the Ter ritory's electrical output l,5Oo times
 Warne. writing in the Bureau of Reclamation magazine, The Re- clamation Era" said the Bureau started Investigating Alaskan power and irrigation project possibilities last July after Congress provided $150,o00 for that purpose.
 Although engineers have surveyed only the major rivers. Warne said, they already have found hydroelec- tric power sites which would pro- duce more than 50,000,O0 900 kilo- watt-hours annually.
 This represents about on e-fitth the electric power output of United States utilities in 1947, he added. Alaska's power output last year was only 34,500,000 kilowatt-hours.
 The Reclamation Bureaus Juneau office already has submitted to the Interior Department its report on the proposed Eklutna project near Anchorage, Warne said. He added
 At the present time it appears that the next development in the railbelt area would be in Devil Canyon on the Susitna river, l25 miles north of Anchorage and only 10 miles from The Alaska Rail road.
 The Devil Canyon project would serve not only the Anchorage area but also several large industries projected for the railbelt Initial in- stalled power plant capacity would oe more than 100000 kilowatts
 "All in all, I am told, there are 30 major potential hydroelectric power sites in Southeast Alas six a alone which could have continu- GUS capacity of more than 100000 kilowatts. Investigations are now being conducted on major sites near Juneau, Sitka and Ketchikan"
 Warne said the Federal Govern ment's inter-agency committee on Alaskan development, organized last year, feels that if we can develop hydro electric power in Alaska, the edge can be knocked off the high cost of energy"
 Some industries will be attract ed" he said.
 This would also reduce the size of the requirement. for capital in putting small industries into the Territory, and thereby knock down the high cost of living.
 Without a new source of energy, town like Anchorage will have to stop growing. Without a wer-cost source of energy, the same town will have no development of business of basic industry to support it in the long run"

pEACE-TIME BUDGET GOES
 TO CONGRESS
Half of Great Amount Is 10 Wage Cold War on Rus-
 sid-More Money Wanted
By CHARLES MOLONY

WASHINGTON. January 1O--tN--- 1 President Truman today handed Congress record $41 ,858, ,000. .000 peace-time budget-half of 1t to. wage cold war with Russia.
 And he warned that the price of bulwarking freedom in the world is going higher still.
 The spending program MT. Tru- man charted for the 12 months be- ginning next July is sl .678, 900 00o higher than this years also a peacetime record.
 Still to come is the cost of re- arming Western Europe--a step the President said he will propose be- fo.e the year is out, to boost the total still further
 NEW DEFICIT
 Even in the absence of that out lay, the chief executive declared, the nation faces an $873, 900 900 1850 deficit piled atop a s6O0,O00.0O0 red ink entry for l949--unless taxes are raised.
 Soeerly.. Mir Truman declared that future budgets will have to be bigger yet to meet Americas mount Ing responsibilities in the world and to pay the bill for greatly ex- banded military establishments at home
 JUMP TAXES
 Thus the President renewed with emphasis his plea that Congress jump taxes $4,000.O00,0 900 a year. not counting higher lcvies for in- creased social security benefits and a new health insurance program he wants to start the New Deal ball rolling again.
 These important disclosures were made on highest authority follow ing issuance of the budget mes sage:
 l. The President figures on July 1 being the effective date for the $4.oC0 .000 ,000-a-year tax hike he wants on corporation, estates and middle and upper bracket income. He thinks 1t may yield only s.. 00,000,0c0 in fiscal l950 however, because of a time lag in collections.
 ?. The President expects to fi- nance his proposed national health insurance program with one-half of one per cent total tax on pay rolls, beginning next July l. Em- ployees and employers each would pay one-tourth of one per cent.
 3. An estimate that individual income tax collections in 1850 will yield sl9.l35. 900 900 reckons that in d.vidual incomes will remain at the recent record-high annual rate of $215 GOO ,c00,000 and the Federal in- come tax alone will drain off nearly one-tenth of that.

 FOR ALASKA
 REQUESTED
Over One Hundred Million Dollars Asked from
 Congress
By HARRISON B. HUMPHREYS

ny f1Aftfl1O)N D. HUME IlIt4GO
 WASHINGTON, January l0.--R- The National budget called today for expenditure of more than $100,- 000,co0 in Alaska during the l2 months beginning July l.
 President Truman recommended to Congress that millions be spent for housing, community facilities, and transportation "in this impor- tant area
 The budget includes increased funds for the study and development of Alaskan timber, wa CT, land, mineral, fish and wildlife resourc- eS.
 'As part of the program to de- velop the resources of Alaska the President said in his budget mes sage, T have recommended special assistance for both private and pub lie housing. Such housing is badly needed, but is hampered by excess sive construction costs.
 This budget provides for Sl0.- 100000 revolving fund to finance loans and construction by the Alas ka Housing Authority.
 T also recommend s2,Oo0, 900 ap- propriation to the Federal Works Agency to provide for certain ur- gently needed public works in Alas ka.'
 The largest amounts proposed in the Alaska budget are for improv- ing the Alaska Railroad
 The President asked for S25 ,0o0, ,0O0 appropriation and authority to con- tract for an additional $22 1000, ,000 expenditure on the Alaska Rail- road. Last year Congress granted $17,000,000 in cash and $12,000, ,000 in contract authority.
 Congress also was asked to re- appropriate s15,8O0, 900 from the op- erating revenues of the railroad.
 For construction and maintenance Of roads, bridges, ferries and trails, the budget calls for S26,692, GOO and an additional $7000,000 in contract authority. Last years cash appro- priation was $10.442, 400.
 The Office of Indian Affairs re- quests $5,925,O0o. compared with s4,- 118,962 appropriated last year, for the Alaska Native Service.

WASHINGTON Senator Ar. thur vandenberg, gruff, able COZ spokesman of the bipartisan for. eign policy, picked up the tele- phone the other day to find out for himself whether President Tru- man was considering him for Sec retary of State.
 The big Michigan Senator called Truman's right-hand man in the Senate, Les Biffle.
 A story had leaked out the White House back door, explained Van- denberg to Biffle, that he might be asked to take over Secretary ot State Marshall's job. Just to put the rumors straight, Vandenbere wanted the White House to know where he stood.
 Biggest obstacle would be leav- ing the Senate, he pointed out. He couldn't desert the Republican par ty and let Michigan's new Demo- cratic Governor appoint a Demo- cratic Senator in his place. A possible compromise, however would be Mayor George Weish of Grand Rapids who would be ac- ceptable both to Democrats and Republicans, vandenberg added.
 But the Senator from Michigan said he still couldn't sit at the head of the Presidents official
