COP Leader Says Egan 'Forgets' New Tax Increases

JUNEAU, R = A member of the Republican State Central Committee Tuesday disputed re- marks of Governor Egan that Alaska taxes increased since statehood in only two major fields.
 Robert Druxman of Juneau Gin a prepared statemenD took issue with comments by Egan at Seattle, where the chief executive is attending a meeting of Western State Governors.
 Druxman said the Governor may be able to convince people outside of the state that taxes haven't increased in Alaska since his Democratic Administration assumed office, but he can't sell that to the people of Alaska"
 Egan had cited 1860 hikes in gasoline and motor fuel as the major revenue measures enacted since statehood.
 "The Governor seems to have forgotten such items as increased levies for employment security and higher fees for fisheries li- censes, more costs for candidates for political office and increased license fees for certain types of motor vehicles" Druxman said.
 Druxman, a Republican candi- date for the State House of Rep resentatives this fall, also said the state:
 ". is collecting other new revenues from recent laws which license air carriers, motor freight carriers, electrical contractors, se- curities brokers, title insurance companies and boxing contests" :"
 'There are direct taxes on the activities concerned," Druxman said, Gin addition to other taxes paid by everyone in Alaska"
 He said "It might be argued that license fees are not taxes in the purest sense of the term," but contended such fees "are revenue paid to the government which help to meet it's expenses and must thereafter be considered as taxes"

Mounting Danger Seen
In Sales Tax Increase

slow down at the point of each
levy.
We are a mercantile coun-
try. Our prosperity rises and
falls with retail sales, with
buying for inventory. We have
never had a boom while con-
sumers reduced their buying;
consumer buying in many
recent periods have checked
threatening recesSions.
Therefore. applying the tax
squeeze at the point of sale
is applying it at the very worst
place. Since taxes restrict,
sales taxes restrict the very
thing we need must for pros
perity.
Sales taxes can reduce mer-
chants profits and throw men
out Of work; they can swell
savings at the time that saw
ings should now into the mar
ket place.
Second Danger
The double danger lies in
the fact that there is always
the danger Of a recession, no
matter how hard we plan.
If there should be a slide in
business, demands on States
would increase Immediately. It
would be imperative to create
more jobs. to provide food for
the hungry, to shore up weak
businesses and to launch broad
programs. There would not be
time for the Federal govern
ment to act.
But where States depend on
sales taxes, just at the time
they needed more revenue,
their sources of revenue would
fall off simply because people
cut buying when recessions
threaten.
That could be critical.
