 ''The vaccine which will be fur nished by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis is the same vaccine that was given to 440, ,00O
 children last spring." he said. ''We
 do not know yet whether it really
 prevents paralytic polio. Until Alp Til, when we will learn the results
 of the evaluation study now being
 conducted at the University O. Michigan, we cannot. know if the vaccine is effective. But we cannot wait until then for planning fo1 1.-the protection of as many of our children as possible.
 If the license is granted in Ap- lril, we must be ready to start vac cinating at once, so that, if poss- ible. we can finish before our schools close and the polio season starts''

LEGISLATURE WALLOWS IN "SNOWSTORM" OF TELEGRAMS
 By Jim Hutcheson

JUNEAU --lR- Winter is stay ing late in Juneau this year and it wns showing again yesterday-both the white stuff and telegrams.
 Never in memory of legislators has there been such a deluge of telegrams to equal the flood of pro- tests against the so-called luxury sales tax bill which passed the House 20 to and now is in the Senate committee. More than 200 wires were received by the Senate yesterday. mostly from Anchorage against the proposed five per cent tax
 The bin was proposed by the House Ways and Means Committee to raise an estimated three million the gap between the prospective budget of well above thirty million dollars and anticipated revenues Heads of the budget-framing committees of both houses estimate four million dollars will be used out of the treasury surplus of a. bout five million and there still will be about five million needed in new revenues to foot the Terri torial bill. Unless the budget is trimmed sharply below what they think are basic needs for schools. the University, welfare, and other departments, budget drafters raise the question: If not a luxury sales tax what will it be?" Most legis- lative talk indicates that the most likely alternative will be to in- crease the income tax possibly, to 5 Der cent
 Meanwhile, Democratic support CTS of the general property tax for the territory outside cities and tax ing districts, were hoping the pres sure against the sales tax will build up support for re-enactment of revised property tax. It is not viewed as anywhere near the neces- sary revenue producer. however. estimates for it run from half a million to $9OO.O0O above collec- tion cost for the biennium. It was reported ont of committee with a do pass recommendation yeSter- lay afternoon by four of the five members of the Senate taxation committee It has previously passed the House. The Senate committee, however. tackled amendments on to m pI1d d1f lower the valuation of non-produc- ing mining claims to $50. which means a tax of fifty cents: an other amendment proposes exemp- tions for plants or equipment which is nonproductive fifty weeks out of the year - such us mills, dredges or canneries. The bill is likely to come before the Senate shortly

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE
Tax Happy

As the Territorial Legislature erinds along toward its final day which. thank goodness, is tnls coming week. the spenders in the House of Representatives are De- coming tax happy. Their latest brain storm to carry out thelr theory of tax and tax and tax ana spend and spend and spend" is masure to levy a five per cent luxury tax on top of the luxury taxes everyone pays now on about everything except the actual act or breathing.
 Revealing the financial irrespon- sibility in the House that immature body passed the luxury tax bill with whopping 21 to 2 vote. Only Ed Locken of Petersburg and Joe Mclean of Juneau actually voted against the measure. The re- cord win show that Stan McCutch- con of Anchorage voted against It hut Stan changed his vote before the roll can was announced in an effort to get on the conference committee in case the monstrosity should ever reach conference.
 To be sure there is still the Sen ate and in the final analysis. the possibility of Governors veto. It's our feeling, at least our hope, that the Senate. which is made up of some mature Alaska taxpayers, will bury the luxury tax (House Bill 22D in the first available waste basket and have done with it.
 As the Chamber of Commerce, in sending a vigorous protest to the Senate appealing to their good judgment to defeat the measure, pointed out. Alashans already are hurdened with tax structure higher than any state in the Un- io.s Increasing taxes at this time will drive from the Territory pol tential new industry and business which effort is being made to en- courage. the Chamber stressed, and indeed. it will. We think the Sen ate has more sense than to kill the goose that laid the golden egg.
 Theory advanced in the House was that it was necessary to raise 30 million dollars to balance the budget and that the luxury tax would yield three million of it. The 30 million the House is talking a- bout is the total of estimates sub mitted by the various departments of Territorial government to carry on their operations in the next two years. As everyone knows, except possibly some of the starry-eyed lads from the Third Division, de- partments always pad their re- quests to the Legislature by up- wards of % per cent in the hope ttat they'll wind up with fair amount of money to run their de- partments.
 What the boys in the House need is some bluc pencils and brains and not political hogwash and dreams. We tnve great faith that the Senate will demonstrate the point
