JUNEAU, (AP)—A general income tax bill will go into the hopper of the January legislature, attorney general Ralph Rivers said Friday.
Addressing the local junior chamber of commerce, Rivers said the proposed income tax would, if adopted, be levied on all who do business in Alaska. It would affect seasonal or permanent operators and workers alike.
The attorney general said the bill is one of several already drafted for presentation to the legislature.
Others would make business license taxes uniform, revise the liquor laws, establish a board of control to provide a central authority now divided between the highway patrol, U. S. marshal and city police, centralize authority for motor vehicle control into one department, set up a retirement system for Territorial employees through a withholding plan under which the Territory would match 5 per cent of an employee's monthly pay, and impose a Territorial tax on all land outside of city limits.
