Senate Reduces
 Net Income Tax For Gold Miners
By JIM HUTCHINSON

JUNEAU, Rl-The Senate Sun day voted 12 to 1 to reduce the mining net income tax on small operators. The bill was sponsored by Sen. John Butrovich (R-Falr- banks, who argued that the assessment amounted 10 double tax on the mining industry be- cause the industry also has to pay the general income tax along with everyone else.
 The bill provoked argument on the floor in which Butrovich was opposed by another Fairbanks senator, Ralph Rivers, a Demo- crat. Rivers said the tax was in effect a tax in lieu of business license tax that other forms of business have to pay, and that the net income tax was actually easier on the industry than the type of gross tax that many busi- nesses have to pay in addition to the territory's general net in come tax
 The bill makes an exemption in the tax up to S4O,O0O net in come, where the three per cent levy would start. It now starts at S10,OOO River sought to cut the exemption in half, to S2O,00O The bill does not alter the levy in the upper brackets, where it goes up to seven per cent above S10O,0O0 net income.
 The status of the mining indus try came in for considerable dis cussion as the other Fairbanks senators argued for special con sideration for the smaller mining operators. They were supported by two Nome senators, Charles Jones, Republican, and Howard Lyng, Democrat.
 Sen. Robert Ellis D-Ketchikan) scoffed at the idea of anyone being considered a little man in business when he nets up to S4O,OOO a year and he discounted the importance of the gold mining industry on the theory that "they just take it out of one hole in the ground and bury it in another in Kentucky" He referred to the begged price of gold, which the gold mining district senators cited as a hardship on the industry, as a guaranteed price" which he said sounded pretty good to any one from the fishing districts.

Heintzleman Turns Down House
 Request For A Special Session


 zleman said mo" Sunday to the House of Representatives request that he call special session of the legislature at the termination of the present one, but he left a little room to hedge on the issue.
 The House had asked that he issue the call as a guarantee that vital legislation can be taken care of and to comply with the re- quirement of 15 days advance notice.
 In the conclusion of his long letter to House Speaker Wendell Kay, the governor wrote:
 If conferences with leaders of both parties in the House and Senate indicate that special session is required to solve Any specific matter impossible of solution in the regular session, I will then consider issuing call.
 Tn like manner I will consider calling a special session for any unexpected emergency that might arise during the biennium, or If any employment security or other program you may adopt proves to contain any serious fault or de- feet"
 In his reply, the governor said: At this time I do not share the fear of some of the members of the House that a special session will be necessary for the mem bers to reach agreement on an employment security law The re- maining 10 working days of the regular session appear adequate for the purpose"
 The governor, recalling his opening message to the legisla- ture, said:
 ''I pointed out that we should not consider increasing benefits until the fund is stabilized and that borrowing from the federal government to restore the fund is under consideration, but that borrowing alone would not solve the problems, but merely post pone it."
 II stated that we must not i'm pose hardships on either employees or employers and must take care not to frighten off venture capital we hope to attract for the devel- Opment of our resources"
 This problem of employment security gains emphasis with each passing day. I cannot see that the postponement of the day of decision by the calling of a special session will ih any way diminish your responsibility or make a decision easier"

Bills Which Passed The Legislature
 Over the Weekend
By JIM HUTCHINSON

~ yg concentrated work in both House and Senate during the weekend pushed a sizeable batch of legis lation through each branch, with the deadline tonight for each chamber to get it's own bills over to the other one.
 At adjournment shortly before 6 p.m last night the House had passed IS bills during the day, while the Senate approved six and three memorials. The Satur- day score was about as good, with the Senate passing 15 measures and the House approving 10.
 After tonight, each branch will have to spend its time on the others measures, except by sus- pension of the rules.
 Bills which passed one house or the other yesterday included a teachers Ray increase, a bill to eliminate the mining net income tax on smaller operators, the gen. eral proprety tax when 1t came around for the second time on House reconsideration and bill to authorize a S1OO,OO0 loan from the general fund for airport inn provements, pending the collec- ton of increased motor fuels taxes
 The House also concurred in minor amendment which the Senate wrote into the gasoline tax increase bill. It now goes to the governor, where approval is vir- tually certain.
 It provides for a three cent in- crease in the gasoline tax for cars and trucks, making a total of five cents a gallon. The tax will go up one cent on aviation gas and remain unchanged at the present two cents on boat fuels.
 Those who voted against the one per cent tax on all property outside of cities and other taxing districts were Reps. Bronson, Bullock, Fagerstrom, Gilbert, Greuel, Locken, Mclean, McNabb and McNealy.
 The pay increase bill for teachers passed the House 21 to 2, but had a maybe" string at- tached The bill p rovides the teachers will get it only if the legislature includes the required S312,0O0 in the general appropria- tion bill. Estimates were made that the bill, as approved by the House, would mean an increase of approximately $40 a year for the average experienced teacher.
