Reasons Why
 The US. Should
 Develop Alaska

A splendid argument as to why congress should be generous in it's allowances to Alaska in it's coming session, and help speed Up the development of the Terri tory for the benefit of the State as well as Alaska is embraced in a communication brought to the Fairbanks News-Miner office re- gently.
 That communication was writ ten three years ago, and the ar gument is just as applicable to- day as it was then.
 The writer shows that Alaska spent many millions in the year of 1885 for staples and luxuries purchased in the States, and ship ped to the States virgin gold, fish and furS worth over $35, 1000, 000 Now it is buying far more in the States, and shipping out a great CT mineral wealth. Otherwise the argument in the communication, applies now as it did then. It is very much worth while reading, and is as follows:
 The figures are of course based upon the Seattle invoice price of the goods and does not include freight from Pacific Coast points to Alaska.
 When one considers that the government tax on cigarettes, to- baccos and intoxicating liquors is in some cases as high as the man ufacturing cost of the articles themselves it is not unreasonable to estimate that the government taxes on these three classes of merchandise alone is around million dollars a year. Add to this the tax on the incomes of Al dska wage earnerS, and the tax on the privilige to do business in and it doesn't seem un- reasonable to assume that Alaska is repaying Uncle Sam each year nearly as much as is being ex- pended by the government for
The Nome nugget., 1938-12-30

the administration of justice and mail service.
 During 1895 We shipped gold. silver, furs, fish, and other pro- duets of Alaska to the United States to the value of $53, ,026, 355. We can assume that every person firm, and corporation engaged in the handling of this vast product made some profit and that Uncle Sam got his divy. This indirect benefit to the nation cannot be estimated in dollars and cents, but it must be of major propor- tions.
 am of the firm opinion that if Uncle Sam would honestly bal ance the benefits and revenue, direct and indirect, that it receiv eS from Alaska against the appro priations made by congress for Alaska, the balance would be in favor of Alaska, therefore, when we ask for and receive money from Congress, we are not mere ly begging and asking for tax payers money from elsewhere in the United States but We are simply asking Uncle Sam to blow back with what belongs to us.
 We are asking Uncle Sam to build us more roads in Alaska, more landing fields and to give us air mail in Alaska. Why. To develop the country, of course; to make more jobs for more peo- pie so they in turn buy more cigarettes and tax paid booze and thus increase the revenue of gov ernment from Alaska. To in- crease the production of fur, gold fish, so that more people can make more money to pay Uncle Sam more taxes, direct and indi- rect.
 We are asking Uncle Sam to reduce the freight rates on the Alaska Railroad and thus relieve the residents of the railroad belt from a heavy direct taxation in the form of freight rates. Why. Because we believe the present freight rates are retarding the settlement and development of Alaska which would mean more taxable revenue for Uncle Sam, if more people could be induced to live in, and help develop AL aska.
