drawing up an effective" farm

proposed that the county attor-

This brought an objection

were prepared to either endorse
or oppose the bill.

AIaska's Resources
 Are Linitless for
 Capital Investment

JUNEAU R The conver. sion of Alaska's potentially grea, resource into industrial gains is limitless if private capital can be attracted, the banking magazine United States Investor reports
 In it's fall convention issue, the magazine devotes some IA pages to the State of Alaska and the investment opportunities which exist in the 49th State.
 In the lead story, written by a staff writer, the magazine said reliable sources in Washington are betting that Alaska will bene- fit more from stepped up defense spending than any other state in the Union
 The magazine said the $500 mill lion spent annually for national defense in Alaska lis sure to double within the next five years.
 Commenting on investment pos abilities in the agricultural and tourism fields and Alaska's hydro electric potential, the magazine said:
 There is no doubt in the minds of most Alaskans that the states vast resources some day will lead them to be one of the wealthiest of the SO states.
 Already per capita annual in come at $2,724 is the sixth highest in the United States. Almost as important as a drawing card to the adventuresome businessman plus the fact that per capita taxes for $1 ,000 of income in 1860 was $60.79-lowest of the 50 states.
 with such favorable surround ings for financial investment, it is understandable why Alask as bankers are convinced that pri- vate capital. especially from their sister banking institutions across the nation, is the key to the states economic progress
