HYDRoELEcrRIc POWER
 INVESTIGATION

Undoubtedly you are aware that the Federal Government through the Bureau of Reclamation in Juneau is actively engaged in the Investigation of Power Sites in Alaska. The Board recently came to Nome and made an aerial ex- animation and we believe they are recommending ground survey of the power sites in the vicinity of Nome.
 AS we believe that there can be no great amount of development under the present high cost of fuel and transportation, Water Power can furnish the incentive and power to develop mining; re- duce the cost of living; aid in the creation of new industries and as-

ROADS

Rome considered road building paramount, roads were built as they invaded; no different today, progress and advancement are linked with transportation devel- opment.
 Our road program has been sidetracked these past war years, nothing has been added to our roads, what repairs and mainte- nance has been done has been very limited.
 It is therefore evident that we should strongly urge the National Government and the Legislature to adopt such measures that will per- init the undertaking of Q long range program which will include sufficient funds that will permit the expenditure of progressive program as outlined in the attach ed program.
 We hope that you will get be- hind this request and use your very best efforts to see that our dreams for roads come true.

NOME SEA WALL AND HARBoR IMPROVEMENTS

The successful campaign in ob- taining the passage of the bill by Congress was victory for Nome and Northwest Alaska, but now we all must get behind ;he move to obtain the appropriation to do the work.
 We need all of the influence and help that we can muster, the committee in charge, the Cham Der of Commerce and the City Council with the people behind them are doing their best. to get results.
 We suggest that you will use all your efforts to urge that speedy action is taken to permit the as- Sembling of the material and work started as soon as the e!c- ments will permit it.
 We believe that Memorial SUD- porting this will help materially.
 HOUSING LEGISLATION
 There will be an early consider ation of the housing problem. Some action will surely be taken to relieve the present housing si.- uation in Alaska.
 It is therefore necessary that you follow every move in that re- spect and see that the Second Di-

 IL is a known fact that our Di- vision is rich in Power Sites. We believe that there is nothing more constructive and necessary than he Water Power Development.
 Therefore we urge you to sup port the bill for Hydro-electric Power development and make it your business that action is taken soon in order to permit something to be done in that respect this coming season.
 Your support and urgency of your effort should be manifested to the Bureau of Reclamation in Juneau.

TAX EVERYBODY ELSE EXCEPT ME"
 Anchorage Daily Times)
 The great day when Alaska gets sensible tax pro- gram may be at hond.
 The Legislature is in session. It has conquered the problems of organization and moving forward in it's legislative procedure looking toward enactment of kind of tax laws.
 Many of the legislators consider the results of the last election mandate from the people that they are to un tangle the fiscal of the Territory through the actment of tax program
 The aim of the new program is to tap the many latent resources of Alaska and compel them to pay proper share of the cost of government in the Territory It is repeatedly pointed out that the taxes should be levied on the basis of ability to pay.
 The Territory being flat its face financially cred itorS bowling for lack of payment and welfare problems mutpyig paheticaly for lack of funds, the legisla ture ignore the socaed mandate of the people to do something about it.
 It is inevitable that numerous tax bills will be intro duced, based every conceivable theory of taxation The hopper will be crammed with proposals that must filter through the channel leading to enactment
 Meanwhile there is developing definite efforts of spe cal groups to duck the taxes which may hit them under the new program:
 Labor has come out vehemently opposed to any form of sales tax any other that will fall the lower income brackets.
 Miners and farmers are just opposed to any property.
 Business establishments look with apprehension on any move to levy taxes on their operations
 might be said that Alaskans have become convinced that sort of sensible tax program is needed but that it appears imminent each Alaskan considers sensible only law which will tap Everybody else cept me-"
 These selfish views may develop into tenons that will be reflected in ceavages within the Legislature
 The powerful lobbyists representing the fisheries will be looking for these cleavages They the tools with which they work.
 With many tax proposals in the hopper the lobbyists will be in position carefully cultivate the tensions that lead to ceavages with the aim of complcating the picture to point where emotions replace objective thinking, personalities outweigh merit.
 Thus the selfish ambitions of individuals and groups within Alaska could we'll become noisy din jeopardz- ing enactment of any tax program at all.
 Such imbroglio would meet with approval of mo- body The best way to avoid it is to sofpedal the sell fishness be prepared to pay modest taxes and age sanity and obectvty in the Juneau deliberations
 It must be recognized that it is impossible to write tax law which will comply with the wish of every Alas kan have colectble from everybody else except me-"

MINING

For us to elaborate on the wealth and potentialitieS of min ing in our Division will be unnec- essary as you are already well in formed and many reports are available to you in Juneau, but 10 do something toward encouraging the resumption of mining and re- urn the proSpector to the mills is of momen ous importance.
 Our Territorial Bureau of Mines is ably managed, while it is short on personnel and Divisional Assay Offices, still they have prepared a very large amount of data from their Investigations conducted in the field during the past year.
 The Bureau report as p-esen ed to the Legislature contains many valuable suggestions and recom- mendations the Bureau has on hand many plans to offer 10 return the prOSpectOr to the hills. We therefore suggest 10 you to visit them and obtain whatever in formation you require on mining.
 The Bureau program is worthy of your attention and we request you to support it and strongly urge for you to work for larger lDprcpria ions for the office to permit them to carry on a progress Sive program.
 . We also request you to urge the establishment of the Nome As say office at Nome with sufficient personnel to conduct field exam nations.

THE NEEDS OF NOME AND NORTHWESTERN ALASKA

HE N66OS Of NUMB AND NORTHWESTERN ALASKA
 The Second Division has many urgent needs, due to the fact that we have received niggardly con- sideration from the recent Ses- SionS.
 However; in justice to them we must admit that the war and eco- homie conditions and handicaps have prevented them to follow any other course.
 But; today, with such a favor able and hopefully promising out look, we are certain that your ef- forts will prove successful in se- curing for us much valuable leg islation.
 We hope that your efforts will be commensurate with our needs to overcome the retarded and ne- glected development and assist the movement as suggested by the program for a new era of growth and development.

SCHOOLS

Our schools in Nome and in the Division need your constant and immediate support and attention.
 All sections of the Territory will urge their problems. Unless we together stand for our interest we will be left behind.
 Your support of the school pro- gram is respectfully requested, your Territorial School Boards report is comprehensive and ade- quate. We hope that you will study it and use your best effort 10 see that the portions pertaining to our Division are maintained and adopted;
 In order to get our just share it will be necessary that you give this close attention.

You are acquainted with the present status of this most needed Survey. Late last fall the Survey Fish Boat Washington came to Nome with limited personnel and poor un.ried equipment. They made one or two trials and owing to the lateness of the season and the severity of the weather ran in unSurmountable difficulties, prin- cipally mechanical. The boat re- turned to the States. They prom ised to return in the spring.
 This project is comparatively and jointly undertaken by the De- partment of Fish and Wild Life and the Alaska Development Board. It is necessary that we show our interest and urgency toward making sure that the Sur vey is undertaken as soon as the elements permit in the spring.
 We therefore remind you of the necessity of singly and collective " visiting these offices and by letter and resolution urge speedy action. A Legislative Memorial would be of much assistance.
