 Although the Palmer High School basketball team seemed to be playing good ball in their two-game series with the Fair banks Malemutes last week, they just couldn't seem to connect with the baskets often enough, nor were they able to slave off the volley of baskets that on Saturday night sent the Male muteS final score up 70 record 75 points, with the Palmer Moose on the 57-point end of the score.

Chamber Hears Of Increased Needs al Experiment Station

A request to the Legislature for increases for the program of the Alaska Agriculture Experiment Station was announced at the February 16 meeting of the Ma tanuska Valley Chamber of Com merce by pr. Allan Mick.
 Appropriation bills will be coming up in March, Mick point ed out. The appropriations allow ed for the Experiment Station would effect the whole Matan- uska Valley. He pointed out that the present payroll at the Experi- ment Station is $180,000 a year, including the operations in town and at the experiment farm. Dur ing the past year the Experiment Station has purchased $52,000 in material, locally, contributing ap' proximately $24O,0OO to the local economy.
 The original farms were donat- ed in 1880 to the University of Alaska. The main problem since that time has been expansion. In 1948 an expansion program was started, and during the past six years rehabilitation work has been done and is now ready for additions, he said. Proposals would include additions 10 the Experiment farms at the local station and in the Panama Valley; additional staff houses, green houses, two additional staff mem bers and laborers. These requests could add another $118,000 to the local economy during the next fiscal year, Mick speculated.
 Requests for appropriations are going into the legislature from all agencies. If at all possible, Mick urged, please write as groups or individuals, endorsing our requests for this appropria- ton. If no opinion on this request is sent to the legislature, it may get lost in the shuffle, he pointed out. A list of territorial legisla' tors was given to chamber mem bers. M. D.

 A Bill has been introduced to repeal the Alaska Mining license tax, which in reality is the third income tax that mining com pany has to pay. Elation of mine operators did not last long in view of House Bill No. 8
 It was expressed that this new Bill would indirectly effect every one in the Valley, many of whom are coal burners at home, in busi- ness houses, the schools, hospital and others.
 The bill quotes in part that ''The payment of the taxes here in imposed shall be in full, and in lieu of all taxes by the Terri tory, Divisions, cities, towns, townships, school districts and other municipalities upon any property rights attached to or in herent in the right to said coal, upon producing leases for the mining of coal, upon the mineral rights and privileges for the coal aforesaid belonging or appertain- ing to land, upon the machinery, appliances and equipment used in and around any coal mine, or any mine producing coal and ac- | tually used in the operation of F such mine; and also upon the l coal hereinbefore mentioned dur ing the tax year in which the same is produced" There is no provision for payment of any part of this tax to the school district, city or other tax-collecting agen- cieS.
 The Bill is now in the hands of the Ways and Means Commit tee, of which Ken Johnson, Terri torial office Bldg, Juneau, is chairman.
