NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY ORGANIZED IN HOMER

The following article by Jim Scott, pres ident of the Homer Society of Natural His tory, describes the purpose of the group and brief ex- planation Of some of the fields Of study that will be covered by the mH bers.
 "For many years Alaska has enjoyed posi- tion of promin- ence in several scient fife fieldss and has been su bject- ed to much study. Material of great interest has been gathe red. yet there is an bundan ce to be gathered. Alaska is uni que to the stu dent, scientist, and lay peo- pie alike, as it is by and large unmod flied. Only here may di verse natural phenomena be observed, unaffected and untouched, wait ing for those to whom the simple que stion "WHY?" mus t be answered. The Cook Inlet-Kachemak Bay reg ion is an area of great in terest and in this ngi on there is an abundance of ma teria1 avai 1able for those in terested in the Natural Sciences, and History Of the area. A good question would be, Who Is not int crested?
 "In spite of stud ies en- tered into by the Cove rnre nt and various schools and in di vidua1s, much material gathered in many fields of interest, is not generally available to many people Much of the 1oc al his tory was nev- CT recorded, as a result much has been lost.

Report ToThe PeopIe

uuced bill which would submit
TO the people for a vote. an a.
mendmcnt To the Constitution
providing for annual sessions of
the Legislature in lieu of the
Biennial Sessions which is the
preScn: law. Representative
Clark introduced a similar DILL
IN the 1853 Session. and got n
surprising amount of support.
but not enough since a three
fIithS majority is required on IA
proposed change in the ConSti-
tuition, and the bill was defeated.
Our present Assembly meets
each two years and the pay is
'Sl35O.OO for the Session. This is
"a Hat amount contingent only
on the basis of the session last
ing ninety days. No provision is
allowed for pay in the event the
session lasts longer than 80 DAYS.
ana no allowances are made for
travel or other expenses. Repre-
sentative Clark'S bill would help
out. 10 some CXtCni-at least. the
factor of monetary rcnumera-
ton. since il would entitle Rep
rcscntativcS and Senators to
100000 salary per session, and
also TO 500 per day expenses.
plus travel expense for up to
ten trips from home to Raleigh
each Legislative Session. Repre-
sentative Clark'S major arug-
mCnt in favor of annual ses-
SionS is that budget matters
could be handled much more
efficiently. Under our biennial
system, Stitc revenues have to
be estimated as much as 80
months in advance. and any sud-
len change in the economy
would seriously affect service
programs that were drawn up
far in advance. We are required
by our State Constitution TO OPP
crate the State within a balanc-
ed budget. and due TO these fact
orS, il is getting increasingly
more difficult TO anticipate the
revenue necessary to carry on a
program that is steadily expand
ing due 10 the increase i'll popu-
lation. Representative Clark's
bill may not come in nearer of
passage than it did two years
ago because there are a lot of
members of the Legislature who
will contend that they cannot
spare the time from their bust
ness To spend session each year
in Raleigh. but | think the bill
has merit and should be consid-
cred carefully.

EX-SENATOR ARTHUR
WILLIAMSON

The Appropriations Joint Sub
Committee is still at work on tho
Appropriations Bill. but should
be through sometime next week
q, which time they will max,
'heii recommendations To the
- Joint Committee. The final
recommendation will probably
be somewhere near the total
figure recommended by the Gov
crnor'S Advisory Budget Com
mission. For instance. the Sub
Committee is prepared to re-
commend disseminating the APP
preparation TO the State Board
Of Education for the Child Heal
IN Program, and turn this re-
accessibility over to the State
lard OF Health. One half OF
this appropriation would be
transferred TO the Board of
Health To carry on the program.
This would create a saving in
this fund of S550.0O0 for the BIZ
cnnium. They are also prepared
TO recommend reduction OF
S39l 900 i'll the fund foI salaries
Of General Instruction Supervis-
orS. There was some effort made
&c, reduce this appropriation by
Sper cent but DR.. Carroll, State
Superintendent of Public In
Struction, defened this program
as one of major importance, and
the lesser reduction was adopt
cd. The reduction of 1891 900 is
only about Is per cent and il is
thought that this can be offset
tC some extent by consolidation
of small school districts in the
operation of the program.
PACKAGE" BILL TROUBLE
vrhc real trouble is being en-
countcred by the members OF the
Joint Finance Committee. They
have run into considerably more
opposition 10 the package" bill
than had been anticipated. Most
OF the objection is 10 the propos-
ed 3 per cent tax on advcrtis-
ing and on the one per cent tax
on seeds, feeds, and fertilizer.
Efforts are being made to re-
SlpSidcr an excise tax on tobac-
I'd products, which would offset
both the tax on advertising and
the tax on seeds, feeds and fcrti-
ilZcr. Some Of the members have
suggested reconsidcring the pro-
posed additional one per cent
on the State Income tax Sche-
dule, which would offset several
items included in the package"
tax bill. A situation of this kind
IS bound to be difficult to work
~ TO the reasonable Satisfac-
ton of the Committee, let alone
TO the full Assembly, so il is
naturally u slow process, but /
nope they will have something
definite to recommend in few
days.

shadow has been thrown over II in the ne
cation Of Section 40 requiring separate

could be enacted to reestabIish the public
school system thus making more flexible

may occur The taxpayers through their

With the revival Of interest at the local

tend To -continue and intensity this revived
public interest. and to some extent de-
centralize authority and broaden RESPONSE

cies have passed, if they do.
