House Passes Highway Motor Fuels
Tax Increase of Three Cents Gallon,
Retains Earmarking OF The Funds

lature couldn't say what the
money should be spent on.
One amendment written into
the bill would require the direc-
tors, of highways and aeronautics
to present budgets to the legisla-
ture to show what use they plan
to make of their funds.
Two Sc. Alaska House mem
bers, Reps. Metcalfe and Riley,
said they agreed in principle with
the idea of eliminating earmarked
funds, but contended that for the
time being il was better to ear
mark them and then the boat
people would be sure a certain
amount would go for harbors.
Rep. Irene Ryan O-Anchorage)
said she felt alarmed to see how
legislators are tending to view
legislation from divisional view
points" She argued that it was
bad tendency that what hurts one
division hurts all and what bene-
fitted ore division benefited all.
She supported the Kay proposal
against earmarking.
Rep. Ray Plummer O-Anchor-
age cited a document that nor
mally isn't recalled very often in
legislative chambers. It was his
party's platform. He read from
the Democratic territorial plat
form a commitment that motor
fuels taxes should be used ex-
clusively" for roads, airports and
harbOrs. He said the platform was
good enough for him.
On the final roll call, the legis-
lators voting against earmarking
of funds-all Democrats - were:
Bucl<aleW, Greuel, McNabb, Ryan,
Stewar:, Taylor, Young and Kay

senting vote was cast in the Ter
ritorial House Of Representatives
Wednesday as a bill was pushed
through to Jump the territory
motor fuels tax for highway
users three cents gallon, to five
cents. The vote was 22-1.
\ The measure, sent to the Sen
ate, lifts aviation gasoline taxes
only one cent and leaves the one
on fuel for boats at the present
figure.
Four proposed amendments, to
change it from the sponsoring
House Ways and Means commit
tee version, were beaten down.
On final passage only Rep. War
rem Taylor D-Fairbanks) was op-
posed.
A bill. by Rep. E. c.. Bailey
O-Anchorage), for the display of
both the United States and Alaska
flags at institutions, polling places
territorial offices and schools was
approved unanimously by the
House after slight changes.
Flags Should" Be Displayed
AS passed, it reads. that such
flags should" be displayed, ra-
than than shall be, and that
they should be at each school,,
rather than in each classroom.
The amendments were proposed
by Rep. Thomas Stewart D-Ju-
neaW and supporters argued you
can't legislate patriotism"
Speaker Wendell Kay DAN
choragel, supporting the original
version, said:
1--WE may not be able to legis-
late patriotism, but we can leg
islate an opportunity to show
patriotism"
In the House, the major amend
ing attempt on the motor fuels
tax bill was to knock out the
earmarking Of the tax moneys for
roads, airports and harbor facil-
tiles. ].
The legislators supporting that
amendment contended that the
legislature should decide each
session where the money should
go, rather than give the lump
sums to the directors of highways
and aeronautics. The amendment
was beaten on IS to 8 vote. Ii
was offered by Speaker Kay.
While the House was having
stormy day, after starting out
calmly early in the morning with
joint House-Senate session to
hear a University of Washington
economist, William j. Stanton,
present figures on Alaska's econ
omy as related to its unemploy-
ment compensation fund troubles,
the Senate had a quiet day.
Hot Debate Over Earmarking
In the House, there was hot
debate over the earmarking of
the funds collected under the
motor fuels tax.
Z Kay, in opposing the earmark-
ing policy, contended that if
motor fuel taxes have to be re-
stricted to uses which benefit the
operators Of the motors, then the
cigarette tax money should SO to
the benefit of ailing cigarette
smokers and the whiskey tax
moneys should go for the rehab-
ilitation of alcoholics.
He also protested against let
ting the directors of highways
spend the money wherever he
chooses, without legislative re-
view. He told the House the old

fancy new cars because the legis-

But on nights when the
weather was clear they never
saw him except during services.
We boys laughed at Stone
wall, but we liked him, and
ordinarily we did not play
pranks on him. But one day
we had an idea. At that time
there were many trunks in
Charleston attics containing
packets of Confederate money.
Even as collectors items these
bills were worth nothing. Every
boy in town had some.
So WE decided to pool our
Confederate money and pre-
sent it to Stonewall. Ii came to
an impressive packet $500
Locating Stonewall near the
corner of Meeting and Market
Streets, we made the presenta-
ton. Stonewall was reluctant
to take the money. "For me?'
he said incredulously.
Sure. For you, Stonewall.

The bills were thrust into
his hand. He gazed at them.

down the street.
We didn't laugh after all.
"He thinks it's real money"
said one boy finally.
Our crowd broke up. But I

near the door.
Stonewall walked up to the
Nortons and put his packet Of
bills into the hands of Reverend
Norton.
Yours" he said.
The Nortons examined the
money curiously, then looked
at each other.

Reverend Norton counted it
carefully. This is almost three

he said gently. "Why are you

DESERT FA5HIE GOLF Club NEWS
BY HARRY SESSION

The Desert Mashie Golf Club,
thanks to the hard work OF DR..
Lowell Wormley, is now a regu-
lar member of the United States
Golf Association. Doctor Wormley
has been working since the first
Of the year to make this possible,
and l am sure the members Of the
club will join me in thanking him
Fundamentally for a job we'll done.
The U.S.G.A. is the highest as
sociation in the United States a
golf club can become member of,
or in the world for that matter,
and we should be very proud. Now
that we are in this organization,
the work has just started. We
would like to ask all Desert Mashie
members to leave their score cards
at Encanto Golf Course in order
that they may get true handicap.
We will use the U.S.G.A. handicap
system.
The handicap committee will
need at least ten (10) scores to
start and the Importance Of OBJ
tanning all scores from all players
cannot be overemphasized. The
U.S.G.A. recommendation depend
entirely on a complete scoring rec
ord for every player. Incomplete
records tend to produce unequit-
able handicaps. Players who turn
in only their better scores hurt
themselves because their handicaps,
computed on a percentage of bet
ter scores, will lower their handi-
cap and will prevent them from
winning their share of prizes or
matches. So please, leave all your
scores,
The U.S.G.A. IS sending golf
rules and booklets on all amateur
golf and they will be at the Elk's
Club for all to see.

portunity to invite new members

John Verkomp
Canyon Pioneer

A name identified with Grand
Canyon years before it became even
national monument in 1909-that
of the Verkamp family - became
associated this week with the
Shrine of the Ages Chapel through
a $500 contribution underwriting
the Catholic chancel and altar in
the clergy section of structure
The contribution was made by
the family group to the Rev. FIR.
John Faustina, who accepted it
fer the Shrine of the Ages Chapel
Corporation Board of Directors of
which he is an ex-officio member.
It is the largest family contribu-
ton to date in the campaign for
100000, one-fourth of which has
been raised since Feb. 1.
The chancel and altar will be a
memorial to John Verkamp, Sr.,
who established the Verkamp store
on the south rim of the Canyon in
1906. Prior to that, when but a
few hundred persons braved the
torturous trail to view Grand Can
yon, he sold supplies and souvenirs
to visitors at the site from a tent
Records show that in 1899, but
900 persons visited the canyon. Last
year, there were more than 100000
and it is anticipated that the an
nual list will exceed one million
starting with the current year.
Verkamp built his first store in
1906. In 1909, Grand Canyon be
came national monument and in
1919, was made national park
Because of restricted merchandis-
ing facilities, the Verkamp store is
part of the memory of 100000
persons who have visited the can
yon in the past "a years.
