In recent" years the tax has been one-quarter cent. There was no objection!! to the decision of the commission, which estimated that this tax in! a nor mal year would yield - between $12,000 and $15,000. j There was also agreement on the commission's proposal! to ask that the tax on crabs be boosted above the present level of IS cents- a gross. The commission made no recommendation as to what the new tax should be. ; The commission schedule called for consideration of a higher tax on . alba core tuna which now is levied at only 50 cents a ton de spite rocketing prices to fishermen that caused the government to clamp on a ceiling price of $398 a ton. - The present tuna tax is com parable to that on other offshore fish which bring much lower prices, the commission explained, adding that Washington and Cali fornia are considering a tuna tax of $3 a ton. r The commission also discussed obtaining authority for itself to regulate the industry to the ex tent exercised by the state game commission and the fish idepart- ments of California and Washing ton in their respective fields.
