The Nome nugget., 1943-12-24

the Federal Government finan.. ces a considerable part of our gov ernmental establishment, which will devolve upon Alaska as a state. The Federal agencies to be taken over are primarily the jud- iciary, U. s. Marshaps offices, the care of the insane, and the con- servation and protection of fish, fur and game. Delegate Dimond, who has made a thorough and comprehensive study of what is involved in the transition from territorial status to statehood, es- inmates that taking over these federal functions would cost the State of Alaska approximately $2,000, 900 per year.
 The State of Alaska would be- come eligible to participate in the appropriations now made by Congress for all the states under the provision of the Federal Highway Act, thus more than re- placing the loss of the present Federal appropriations for roads and trails.
 Alaska has for many years sup ported its own school system, and since 1887 has supplied the funds required of all states and terri tories, for the maintenance of Social Security and Public Vel fare departments. Alaska also maintains a relatively inexpensive territorial government, and statehood would not engender any considerable financial increase here.
 The annual revenue of the Territory is approximately $2,- 900, 900, derived from an anti quated tax system that should be overhauled and modernized whether we secure statehood or not.
 MT. Dimond states that Alaska as state can maintain itself for approximately $4,000.0o0 per year. Under proper tax system, fairly and equitably distributed, this sum can be raised without imposing an undue tax burden. It is now more apparent than ever that the 1889 Legislature made a regrettable error when

 even to home-spun clothing. Alaska does not offer everything 4o her pioneers that various states did to theirs-but she does offer them great abundance of less var iety. However, self-sufficiency on the part of her people cannot be achieved until AlaskanS are per mitted to trade successfully on the whole product of the country if and when the whole Alaskan production is available for that purpose. This will never occur under our present Federal de- pendency-but is inevitable un- der statehood
 Alaska has remained under the status of territory longer than any other territory in the na- tion's history, and while doing so has produced for the benefit of the nation many times what she has received from it. Yet there are some who oppose statehood on the grounds that Alaska is too immature-too poor to stand the increased cost of self-govern- ment. How then, do they account for the fact that Alaska produces more wealth each year than 16 of our states? Federal income tax collections in Alaska, reached a peak of $10, 100000 in 1927. In 1883 they reached the lowest point of $1,600,O0O, yet the Terri tory led at least 16 states in collections each time.
 In 1889 total income tax col lections in Alaska were $7,300, ,00O. The following were the totals for 16 states during the same year:

intrinsically important benefit to be derived from statehood-the exercise of all the rights of citl- zenship-for until Alaska becomes a state, just so long will its resi- dents be denied the full right ef suffrage. It seems rather para doxical that the people of this vast, rugged freedom-inspiring Territory, whose chief character istics are forthrightness, friendli- ness, hospitality and mutual help fitness, should permit inertia and apathy to interfere with the attainment of the goal of every free-born American-the exercise of the full rights of citizenship.
 Yet this seems to be the case, asd is one of the reasons for this article. II is incumbent upon the people of the Territory to emerge from their lethargic somnolence, study and discuss the question of statehood, make up their minds, and then act with incisiveness, firmness of purpose, and unanimity-both as individ-

achieved in 35 years of ordinary peacetime development.
 The political advantages of statehood are great, and as such, : should be viewed with most seri- ous consideration by every Alas kan. Today, Alaska is represent ed in the National Congress by a Delegate to Congress. This delegate has no vote in Congress, which places decided brake -on the potential power and author ity which normally attaches to the average congressman from state.
 We are fortunate, indeed, in having as our Delegate, the Hon. A. J. Dimond, who by his out standing ability, integrity of pur- pose, and plain hard work, has won the respect and affection of his fellow congressman to the point where they do not regard him as merely delegate, but as one of themselves. He has, through his sterling character and high personal attributes, transcended the narrow limita- tions of his official position, and through sheer personality and in- tense effort secured for his Ter ritory much beneficial legislation, and inclusion in many appropria- tions for the states, in which ap- peared the usual phrase, except Alaska"
 However, with statehood, Alas ka is no longer a beggar at the national table, but recognized member of the household, eligi- ble to share in all of the bene- fits and all of the responsibilities of the nation. We will have two voting members in the United States Senate, and at least one in the House of Representatives this latter representation will increase as the population grows, and we shall be in the dignified and powerful position of an equal among equals. To attain this position alone should be more than ample compensation for the additional tax burden we must assume to carry on state government.
 And now we come to the most
The Nome nugget., 1943-12-24

it failed to pass a suitable income tax law, for if that had been ac- complished we would have the : financial means now to undertake state government. It should be remembered in this connection that any money paid in local tax ation to a state government, Is deductible from income in cal culating Federal income tax re- turns. So while 1t is true that To- cal taxes will be somewhat in creased, 1t is also true, that gen. orally speaking, Federal taxes will be diminished.
 Those, who for reasons best known to themselves, spread the propaganda which sets forth the inability of Alaska and it's peo- pie to finance and operate a state government, do not tell you that Alaska and its citizens own but less than two per cent of Alaska with it's vast store house of nat ura1 resources-neither do they inform you that over 98 per cent of this great Territory is owned lock, stock and barrel by the Federal Government
 When Alaska becomes a state large portion of the public do- main, consisting of mineral and agricultural lands, large areas of forested land, all of the tidewater areas of the enormous Alaska coast line, fish, fur and game, will belong to Alaska and its people. Then and then only, will it be possible to develop, through the American system of free en- terprise, the vast treasure house of the nation, once called "Sew- ards folly" and until lately, re- garded and treated as a remote insular appendage to the body polite, much in the manner with which the average person regards his vermiform appendix, if he ever thinks of it at all.
 Alaska has shed it's cloak of insular remoteness and stands to- day on the threshold of great and far-reaching development. The impact of war and it's con- committants, has projected Alaska forward economically distance that would scarcely have been
