 Rep. Stanley McCutcheon o. Anchorage) warned the move was an attempt to undermine the dem- ocratic process of proportional representation and would set a precedent for procedures under statehood.
 Rep. Kay admonished: "This will not end here, I warn you. If the majority rams it down the throats of the people of the Third Division, I warn you the same in- terests will try to write it into the Constitution"
 Kay suggested the First Divi- sion might find the shoe on the other foot in the future if it gets big pulp mills and new popula- ton.
 Rep. Doris Barnes R. R.JWrangelD replied:
 we don't feel we are robbing anyone. We think we are making it more equitable. I don't forget I was elected by the people of the First Division to come here to represent their best inteersts."
 Actually, what the memorial proposes is to eliminate nine del- egates-at-large which other Divi- sions feel the populous Third might be able to elect, and add three of them to the First delega- ton, three to the Fourth, two to the Third and one to the Second. Rep. Mike Stepovich R.-Fair- banks) commented at one point:
 We've seen here what seven can do. What do you suppose 16 or more could do, especially from the Third Division?"

 JUNEAU, (R-A controversy memorial calling for Republic of 1 Alaska remained as a top issue today for the House of Represen- tatives of the Territorial Legisla- ture.
 After two hours of oratory and parliamentary wrangling yester- day, a final decision was stalled off by the leader of the Third Di- vision Democratci delegation.
 The seven Third Division legis- lators who sponsored the memori- al conceded they were licked on the right of secession" issue, but sought to salvage the memorial as "a straight-out appeal to Congress for Statehood.
 However, critical majority stood firm against any amend ments, refusing to compromise and insisting the memorial should be killed as dead as a duck so that even it's number wouldn't finger as a reminder.
 They insisted a whole new me morial should be drafted on statehood.
 Rep. Stanley McCutcheon O. Anchorage) blocked decision yesterday by voting against his own proposed amendment to elim- mate the Republic of Alaska" section.
 That gave him the privilege of moving for reconsideration today.
 The vote against similar amendment previously had been 1910.
 McCutcheon's second attempt altered only four words from the previously defeated amendment.
 Third Division Democrats said in their arguments they were not actually sponsoring any secession move if statehood is denied, but Rep. Wendell P. Kay, O.-Anchor- age) said the purpose was to "shock the people of the United States" in realization of statehood rights.
 Rep. C. Chester Carlson O. Cordova) added it takes strong Enqlish to wake up those babies back there"
 The controversial language in the memorial to Congress and Trygve Lie, secretary-general of the United Nations, is that if state hood fails then i've demand the instant right to declare our abso- lute independence of and from the Government of the United States and to form ourselves into a free society of free men to be forever called the Republic of Alaska"

The annual World Day of Prayer will be observed this year at the Covenant Church and the Community Methodist Church where special programs have been planned for this evening.

 The legislature would be rendering service to Alas kans by overhaung and revising the Territorial tax system that known inequities would be eliminated.
 The tax program has been the books for two years That is long enough for many glarg discrepancies to become apparent.
 was enacted on three-prong basis the basic tax program for the Territory There the Territorial n come tax the business license tax and the property tax The property thrown out by the courts. Only two of the three prongs left Inasmuch the gov ernor recommended no taxes, it is assumed that there is no plan to re-enact the property tax
 The two remaining prongs have proven to be rather thorny and the people are stuck with them.
 The Gross Tax on business is working a hardship on Alaskans who live here compared to Outsiders who come here
 The local businessman must pay one-quarter of one per cent his gross But do the big contractors who come from Chicago, Minneapolis, Kansas City, San Francisco and elsewhere? We have heard of it. It is the subcontractor who gets the kick in the pants In bidding fo rhe plumbing, electrical, plasterng, painting and other work on project he must compete aganst the Outsider If the Outsider escape the tax, the disadvantage to the local man is obvious
 The gross tax is not only unfair in the way it oper ates but is unfair in principle The fact that business has large gross is not indication that it is able to pay tax.
 The fuel dealer may sell furnace oil with margin of profit of cent gaon He may collect Is cents for every gallon he delivers in order to get his cent of profit he delivers 100000 gallons in year his gross is $18OOO but his profit is only $1 OOO he has pay gross tax of onequarer of per cent it to $45 which is steep.
 Meanwhile, a store may sell $1O0O0O in merchandise with 30 per cent margin the profit The profit is sub stantia but the is the that paid by the fuel 
 Alaskans became we'll acquainted with the evils of the gross tax when 1t levied mining The evils sufficient to lead to repeal of the law
 Why should the income and the business license taxes be left unchanged while these glrng discrepancies known to exist?
 The legislature could replace them both with law based on net income that taxes would be collected from able to pay The law might well eliminate the personal income tax which is fraught with head aches and impossibilities.
 It is automatic that tax laws should encourage Alas ka residence and Investments besides raising sufficient revenue operate the type of government the people want.
 The present laws do not and should be ditched.

 tempt to amend the memorial and take the stlng out, sponsors tried to withdraw the memorial, but the majority, determined to kill it, refused the withdrawal right. After postponing a final deci- sion on the memorial, the House passed one bill and two memori- als. The lower chamber approved 22-2 Carlson's bill for dollar-an- hour minimum wage law and 40-hour maximum week unless overtime is is paid.
 The Senate earlier in the day passed a similar wage bill with out the work week provision.
 The House also approved unan- imously a joint resolution by Sen. Elton Eng R.-JuneaW against any Japanese peace treaty without guarantee to keep Ja- panese fishermen from North American waters. Also passed was a Senate joint memorial by Sen. Ed Anderson D.-Nome) asking re- activation of Marks Field at Nome.
 A bill to enable independent school districts to enact not more than per cent sales tax if ap- proved by 55 per cent of the vote in a popular referendum was in- troduced in the Senate yesterday.
 Sen. Gunnard M. Engebreth R.- Anchorage) the sponsor, said it was designed for Anchorage, where a city sales tax is unfeasi- ble because most of the popula- tion is outside the city but includ- ed in the school district:
 He said Anchorage never voted sales tax because of the fear that merchants would move out side the city limits.
 Rep. Jack Scevenius D.-An- chorage) also introduced a House bill yesterday proposing a $780, 900 appropriation fer the Territo- rial department of health to aid community health projects. JUNEAU, (P)-Alaska's Legisla- ture's Battle Hymn of Republic faded quietly into swan song to- day.
 House majority that tired of wrangling over memorial on rights of secession yielded at noon and allowed Third Division spon- sors of highly controversial me morial to withdraw it.
 First they again beat by 1911 vote an attempt by Third Division to modify it into simple statehood memorial.
 Then Wendell Kay moved the sponsors be allowed to withdraw it, which opponents blocked yes terday. Finally George Miscovich took the floor and said "We've done a lot of wrangling over two-bit memorial. To end this so we can get down to business I ask for unanimous consent to allow it's withdrawal" The House gave it's approval, thereby ending the warmest factional clash of the ses- sion.

Reporters ReaffirIrl
Opposition 10 Barring
Tass From Gallery

The Standing Committee of
Correspondents today reafdrmed
its action of last week unani-
mously rejecting proposals by the
American Society of Newspaper
Editors for the expulsion from the
House and Senate press galleries
of representatives of Tass, Rus
sian news agency.
In its original action, the COM
mittee. by unanimous action, said,
'the principles of a free press
cannot be upheld by abridging
them"
Arguments Answered.
In another meeting last night,
the committee addressed a letter
sto Walker Stone, chairman of the
Washington Committee of the
editors group. answering argu-
ments which have been advanced
for the exclusion of the Tass rep
resentatives.
The standing committee, headed
by Fletcher Knebel, noted that the
editors committee had placed
emphasis on an alleged violation
OF rules. particularly in the phrase
printed on the correspondents
blanks to the effect that the ap-
plicant is not employed by any
foreign government. The stand
ing committee agreed that the
phraseology on the long used
blanks does not conform COM
pletely with the gallery rules now
in force. 1t said the wording
was obsolete. should have been
changed and that the committee
intends to do this before admis-I
sions are accepted for the next
session Of Congress.
Tass Men Made Position Clear.
In all fairness to Tass repre-
sentatives who now have gallery
cards, however, the standing COM
mittee added. they made clear
they were employed by the Rus
sian government when they signed
their gallery applications.
The standing committee letter,
made public today, also noted that
precedent decisions are opposed to
barring foreign correspondents
even though they might be re-
quired to register under the For
eign Agents Registration law.
While the editors committee
said it doubted that any gallery
members other than the Tass rep
reSentativeS were registered as for
eign agents. the standing commit
tee said representatives of the
Central News Agency of China,
France PreSse and the Chinese
News Service were in that cate
CORY. Also it said the British
Broadcasting Corp. admitted to
the radio gallery, is registered.
Further Arguments. /
The editors committee had ar
gued that Interpretation of the
gallery rules should not be af-
fected by possible impact on
American correspondents abroad.
Without arguing that point" the
Standing Committee said. "We
merely point out that nothing in
the rules now bars Tass from
membership"
The editors group suggested
referendum of gallery members on
the ajmissibility of Tass, or a
possible amendment of the rules. |.
The Standing Committee rejected /.
this saying it knew of no prece- i
dent for the suggested referendum
and added that it had mo desiret;
to shrink from the responsibility
vested in U.s."
The Standing Committee also
noted that the ASNE committee
had concluded that the exclusion
of Tass would not interrupt the
free flow of information Tass re-
porters transmit. On this. the
Standing Committee agreed.
