NATIONAL COMMANDER
 OF LEGION PRESENTS
 EAGLE SCOUT BADGES

AS a prelude to his principal address in Juneau before a large 1 group of American Legion and Auxiliary members Sunday evening Erie Cooke, Jr., Legion National Commander awarded Eagle Scout badges to three members of EX- plorer Troop 713 of Juneau.
 Himself an Eagle Scout and first man of the scouting movement ill America to become national com mander, he told of essential skills learned through the scouting pro- gram as having given him the pattern for survival in circum- stances of narrow margin be- tween life and death"
 The three local youths awarded the badges were Eddie Dull, Art McKinnon and Wayne Powers. MT. and Mrs Edward Dull, A. F. Me Kinnon and Mir. and MT. and Mrs. Jerry Powers, their parents were presented to the .assemblage and re- ceived miniature Eagle Scout bad ges.
 The Scouts and their parents stood before the mirrors of the Gold Room, while Legionnaire Charles Burdick, commissioner of the Alaska Council. Boy Scouts of America, told of the broad extent of the Americanism program of the American Legion in the nations scouting program, and of the great impetus to scouting given in recent years throughout Alaska.
 He commended the new Eagle Scouts for their achievement, ad- herence to Scout Laws, and then introduced the advisor to Explorer Troop 713, Chester zenger, who is also Chef de Care of yoiture To- cale, Society of Forty and Eight which organization sponsors the Explorer Troop.

Perhaps opening the door for a slightly higher levy on nonresident fishermen in the future, Judges Orr and Pope quote from another de- cision: The State is not without power to charge nonresidents a differential which would merely compensate the State for any added enforcement burden they may im- pose or for any conservation ex- penditures from taxes which only residents pay"
 They assert, however, that no showing has been made that it costs Alaska $45 more to collect the license tax from a nonresident than from a resident fisherman.
 What happens next is a matter that has been causing some specu- lation among the fishermen and around the fishing industry. The Territory can appeal to the U. s. Supreme Court for final decision on this particular tax question.
 If the Territory does not appeal, and perhaps even if it does, it will presumably refund to the nonresi- dent fishermen $45 on each $50 li- cense fee collected in 1949, 1850 and 1851.
 This will amount to a tidy amount of money.
 The report of the Department of Taxation shows that 2,828 nonresi- dent licenses were issued in 1949 and 4,990 in 1850, a total of 7,818 This years crop should bring the present total to somewhere between II GOO and 12000, which would mean refunds approximating half mil- lion dollars.
 Hard hit, too, will be the Sick Fishermens Benefit Fund, created by the 1851 Legislature and receiv- ing 30 percent of fishermens li- cense tax revenues. Using 1850 fig ures, the income of the Benefit Fund will be decreased by 67,365 this year by reason of the Circuit Court decision.
 TEe present case does not deal with another aspect of the fisher mems license tax. Halibut fisher men who fish in international waters but sell their catches in AL aska, so far as the present decision is concerned, will be in the same class as other nonresident fisher men and will be required to pay a $5 license fee.
 The Circuit Court decision, how ever, makes one comment that may have an effect on future haiibut landings in Alaska.
 Judges Orr and Pope note that "The statute appears to limit lssu- ance of licenses to one who IS a citizen of the United States or who possesses a valid declaration ot intention to become such" They add that this aspect of the law IS not involved here"
 This aspect of the law, although not involved in the case of Ander- son and the union, might partlcu- larly apply to fishermen aboard Canadian halibut vessels, many of whom have by-passed Alaska ports because of the high license tax.
 These fishermen are certainly not citizens of the United States ana presumably have not filed declara- tions of intention to become citl- zens. Their fish would be welcomed by Alaska cold storage firms ana their trade by Alaska merchants.

Nonresident fishermen, engaged in commercial fishing in Alaska, can be taxed $5 each, the same as resident fishermen
 This was the conclusion reached by the Ninth Circuit Court of Ap- peals in a two-to-one decision handed down June 25 in the case of oscar Andersen and the Alaska Fishermen's Union against Terri torial Tax Commissioner M. P. Mullaney.
 Anderson and the union conten- ded that because of it's discrimin- atory features, the $50 nonresident license tax imposed by the l949 Legislature is in violation of the organic Act, the Civil Rights Act, and sections of the Constitution re- lating to protection and privileges of citizens and interstate com merce.
 Circuit Judges William E. Orr of Las Vegas, Nevada, and Walter l.. Pope of Missoula, Montana, suppor- ted the views of Anderson and the union in part. Chief Judge William Denman of San Francisco dissen- ted.
 Interstate Commerce is unconsti- tutionally burdened by the Alaska tax statute, according to the deci- sion
 "Whatever the motive which prompted the Alaska Legislature in imposing the discriminatory tax upon the nonresident fishermen, ' said Judges Orr and Pope, the necessary effect of the discrimina- tion was to discourage, hamper and burden the interstate movement of fishermen:
 In their decision the two Circuit Judges quoted Justice Stone of the Supreme Court This Court has many times pointed out that move ments of persons across state boun- diaries are a part of interstate commerce, subject to the regulation and entitled to the protection of the national government under the commerce clause
 Justice FranlSfurter of the Sup reme Court is also quoted in this decision: Tn two recent eases we applied the principle that the Commerce Clause was not merely an authorization to Congress to en- act laws for the protection and encouragement of commefce among the States, but by it's own force created an area Of trade free from interference by the States. In short, the Commerce Clause even without implementing legislation by Con- greSs is a limitation upon the power of the States
 To which Judges Orr and Pope add: We cannot conceive that in granting legislative power to the Territorial Legislature it was in tended that the power should ex- ceed that possessed by the leglsla- ture of State in dealing with commerce"
 In his dissent, however, Judge Denman asserts that the Territorial Legislature has more power over taxation than does State Legls- lature and in fact has the same power of taxation as Congress It. self. He cites Supreme Court de- cisions in support of this view.
 In Judge Denmans opinion, then the Alaska Territorial Legislature has certain powers of taxation that it will lose when it becomes a State legislature.
