TAX BILLS AND BALANCING BUDGET OCCUPY LEGISLATURE
By Jim Hutcheson

JUNEAU -tR- AlaSka's Legis- lature started sinking its teeth in to major problems of tax bills and balancing the budget this week Whi.e budget work proceeded be- hind committee doors, the House passed the first tax increase bill. Tn one of the weeks biggest headline stories. Rep. Warren Taylor (DFairbanksD also sank his teeth into a couple of Federal Judges, but it was a personal sideshow which drew condemna- ton from a great majority of the legislators. Taylor's attack was against Judge George W. Folta of the First Division and J. l.. McCarrey. Jr., of Anchorage. and we may not have heard the last of that one yet.
 Increased Motor Fuel Tax {,
 The House passed an increase in the motor fuels tax to boost the highway users tax by three cents a gallon and a one cent in- crease on aviation gas but left the boat fuel tax unchanged. The bill is now in the Senate. It leaves proceeds from the fuels tax in an earmarked fund for roads. harbors and airports. al- though there was a lively fight over an attempt to throw the money into the general fund.
 Cigarette taxes are next in line. The Senate has a. bill for doubling the cigarette taxes to ten cents. but there's a good chance it won't get Senate action until after the budget shapes up more definitely Any increase in the cigarette tax bill would be for school buildings.
 The House debated another cigarette tax bill Thursday but didn't get to final action on it. It would not increase the tax but sponsors contend it would in- crease revenue possibly by a mil lion and a half per biennium by just tightening loopholes by which the present taxes are evaded. It would remove taxes on cigars. snoose and other tobaccos. which were described as neglibTe revenue producers and concen- on cigarettes.
 &a@&&@
 The House completed legislative action on two memorials Thurs day which are of prime interest in Southeastern Alaska and the Kodiak areas il the Federal government pays any attention to memorial prayers. One. by Sen. Egan asks the federal govern ment not to make any further concessions on the crab meat tar iff. IL describes the present tar iff as at the peril point" beyond which the tariff cannot drop without threatening the new and thriving western Alaska industry.
 The other memorial. by Sen. Doris Barnes, appeals to Congress to give Alaska the equivalent of 25 per cent of receipts from tim Der sales in tFe Tongass National Forest. such as any state would get Her memorial points out that receipts are impounded to a. wait determination of native claims. The memorial approves of keeping the receipts impounded but asks Congress to appropriate the equivalent of the 25 per cent.

toward integration in om' school
has been uncovered.
Our school community has not
recovered from the shock sus-
tanned last year at the time of the
two-day boycott, when actual
threats of violence were prevalent
III the district.
1t is our considered opinion that
integration at any level or to any
degree is not feasible this year
that it would in fact endanger the
public welfare to make such an
attempt.
We feel that the solution to the
problem lies with the adults of
all the school districts, not with
the school children. A plan that
will be convincing to the adult
population will do more than any,
thing which we can work out for
the school proper.
If any school in our general
area does have what is considered
a good and feasible plan, we
should appreciate the opportunity
to consider it.
