LEGISLATORS IN
 DIFFERENCE ON
 TAXATION ISSUE
By JAMES HUTCHINSON

Most legislators at the special session express the opinion that new
 taxation appears a certainty but there is considerable difference of opinion over the type of taxation While the Governors message was postponed from this morning | because the Senate remains unor- ganized, the House Ways and Means Committee is due to start intensive consideration of the first two bills for income and general property taxes
 Income and property tax bills are supported by Democratic organ- ization on the argument they are the most equitable and directed against those best able to pay. Two middle -of-the-road Repub- licans, belonging to a group upon whose support Democrats are count ing to put through revenue legis- lation, said today passing of some tax legislation is certainty. They are Gunnard Engebreth of Anchorage and John Butrovich, Jr., of Fairbanks.
 Business Licensing Tax Engebreth said he plans to offer a measure, however. for business licensing tax instead of income or property taxes. It is based on a similar tax law now used by sev- eral states. Engebreth says it should raise six million dollars tor the biennium. bringing the Terri tory's total expectations to twelve [ million.
 ! He predicted the proposed seven-
 teen-million dollar budget may have to be cut considerably.
 Cut In Budget Butrovich and Sen. E. B. Collins [ of Fairbanks also said extensive cuts should be made in budget es- inmates. Butrovich endorses income and property taxes in principle. Collins, one veteran old-line Re-
 publican, favors a sales tax as
 the fairest in spreading the tax burden to all and the cheapest to collect.
 Don't think the Territory could get more than 30 cents on the dol- lar from income or property taxes because of the high cost of col- lecting them" said Collins. Tax Proposal Costly Engebreth also criticized the two tax proposals as costly. Collins criticized the calling of the special as needless" and an attempt by the administration to speed measures through inexper- fenced Democratic legislators"
 We recognize some new revenue it needed he said. but the regular session could have handled the problem.
 He also predicted many mines will be forced to close if the property tax is enacted.

There was shift in Democratic candidates for the office of Senate President, but at noon today it had failed to break the deadlock now in the fifth day of the Special Session, which has prevented or ganization of the upper body of the Legislature.
 Senator Frank Peratrovich of the First Division was the first new nomination by the Democrats this morning after a roll call showed eight votes for Senator Rivers eight Tor Senator Jones. After four ballots failed to change the vote from the prevailing 8-8 tie, Sena- tor Howard Lyng of the Fourth Di- vision was nominated, with no change in results.
 First order of business this morn- ing after the invocation by the Rev Robert Treat and the reading of the Journal and recommendations from the Third Division Grand Jury that the Legislature provide funds for welfare and health and for a juvenile detention home in Alaska, was motion by Senator Rivers for the adoption oi Roberts Rules of Order.
 Motion Contested
 Senator Rivers motion, which makes Roberts Rules the govern ing code for the body until a per- manent president is elected, receiv- ed some opposition from the Re- publican members. The vote on the motion was 9-7 with all Republicans except Sen. Engebreth voting against it.
 There was also vocal opposition from the Republicans on Sen. Riv- CTS motion to reopen the nomina- tions for permanent president al- though the final vote on his mo- tion was 15-l.
 Senator Collins made the point that new nominations were merely to be added to the existing ballot and it was so ruled by Senator Engebreth, President pro tenn.
 The nomination of Sen. Peratro- vich placed four candidates before the Senators, although Peratrovich and Jones captured all the votes and Engebreth and Rivers none of them on the next four roll calls.
 Senator Engebreth called for discussion from the floor on the stalemate and suggested that the Senators flip coin to decide the presidency. There was some other thinking along the same line, Sen- ators Nerland and Garnick pro- posed that lots be drawn for the office.
 Senator Lyng proposed an execu- tive session of the Senators, with the public and press excluded from the chambers, and thought that compromise might be reached under those circumstances. As an alternative, he suggested a secret ballot.
 Nominations were reopened at l2 o'clock noon after another re- cess and caucus and the name of Senator Lyng joined the other four on the ballot.
 On the first roll call on the new list of candidates, Senator Frank Barr failed to catch the signals and voted for Sen. Peratrovich. Sen. Lyng received seven and Sen. Jones tallied eight, leaving the question unresolved.
 The final ballot of the Senate's forenoon session, the 17th ballot of the session on the question of elect ing permanent president of the showed an 8-8 deadlock of Lyng and Jones.
 Senator Lyng announced on the floor this morning that the Demo- crats will continue to offer com promise candidates" which may mean that each of the five Demo- crats who have not yet been nomi- hated may have a chance for the chair.

The quarrel began at break
fast. Mr.. J. hadn't slept well the
night before. He wanted his
coffee strong, hot, and now. Ac-
cording to his way of looking at
it, none of these requirements was
met. One word led to another, as
it usually does. Finally, he grabbed
the percolator and dumped the
contents in the kitchen sink
with such violence that he broke
the percolator. He looked at this
for a moment, then left it in the
sink, snatched up his hat and
went out with slam of the front
door.
When he came home that even
ing the house seemed strangely
silent. He let himself in. The
place was empty. He knew what
had happened. The last time he
had a tantrum and twisted the
control knob off the radio, his
wife had warned him she would
leave If he continued such be-
havior. Now she had left.
IF she'd rather live with her
mother. she can stay there" he
said to himself. IF she thinks
I'm coming out there on my hands
and knees, she's mistaken"

that the percolator was broken

Wonnen's Clubs
Looopedics Institute Scholarship
Established by Sorority AIumnue

The scholarship of 5000 will be
awarded on the basis of scholastic
attainments, all-around ability
and personality. A high school
education and two or more years
of college work will be needed.
Since it is hoped that a field
center of the institute eventually
will be set up in Washington, the
sorority would like to train resi-
dents of this area. However, there
is no residence requirement for
the award.
Gifts to Continue.
In addition to the new scholar
ship, the alumnae association will
continue to make other contribu-
tions for the advancement Of logo
pedics.
The logopedics committee. con-
sisting Of MIR. John B. Schrave-
sande, chairman; Mrs. Glen M.
Vickery and Mrs. G. w. Ault, has
been reappointed by the new
president of the alumnae group,
Mrs. Roger E. johnson. It will
continue it's work in developing a
program intended to further pub
lie interest in this profession.
Within the association, a pro-
gram of fund-raising has been In
effect for some time. During the
summer months, each member was
pledged to earn a minimum OF

An annual scholarship to the
Institute of Logopedics at Wichita,
Kans., will be established this year
by the Washington Alumnae
Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta.
For many years the national
philanthropic project of the soror-
ity has been the support OF the
study and correction OF speech
defects. The organization has con-
tributed to the work Of the in
stitute since 1916.
Last April, Mrs. Paul Shorb,
then president of the alumnae
group, appointed a committee to
make a survey of existing condl-
tions in Washington and to rec
ommend means by which the
Thetas here could best support
the national project and the COM
munity as well.
Technicians Needed.
The committee found that
Washington, like many other
cities, has a great need for trained
speech technicians and an ade-
ouate center for treatment OF
speech defects in adults and
children. AS means of stimulat-
ing interest in the field generally
and with the ultimate objective
of promoting speech training
facilities here, it was decided to
establish the annual scholarship
to the institute.

Plenty of other women have

to try.
IT suppose you might say that
I'm going to marry Martin to re-

like that expression. but that's the
one my relatives use. They are all
against me. They point out that
Martin has a bad temper. that he's
childish and that he drinks too

I'll agree with you, Winifred,
that a man can reform after
marriage. He can also reform
before marriage and If he really
means business, now would be a
good time for him to give q dem
onstration of it.
I wouldn't say offhand that a
woman should never marry a man
to reform him. The attempt usu-
ally ends in a failure, but there
are a lot of things to consider
In advance, of course. Psychologist

there is a big difference between
