EMPIRE.BUILDER?

Proposals made by the University of Alaska board
Of regents and Dr. William R. Wood, president of the
University TO move functions of the Alaska Agricultural
Experimental Station from Palmer TO Fairbanks will take
lot of convincing TO local residents.
In of dollars and cents TO the economy of the
Matanuska Valley. payroll in the neehborhood of half
million dollars, which is of the largest single pay
rolls the Matanuska Valley has at the present time, is
in jeopardy.
Reasons expounded by the empire building presi-
dent Of the University will offer little soaee the people
OF the Matanuska Valley.
Official given are that the move would
give control the University over research and
development OF agriculture in the State Also that the
programs carried out by the Experiment Station under
DIRECT supervision of the University would necessarily
add 10 furtherne the Of agriculture in Alaska
hard TO visualize Surely the weather and growing season
in the Matanuska Valley far conducive expert
mental projects than they would be the northern
clmes where so 10 70 below zero weather is not
uncommon.
lnasmueh climate has no bearing on agriculture,
propose Dr. Wood that the experimental fur farm
at Petersburg be moved 10 Palm Springs which would
stretch his empire from Northern Alaska to Southern
California
Congress and the Alaska Legislature will have 10 be
convinced of the desrabity Of Dr. Woods ideas before
his proposal becomes reality Our local representative
should be gathering his forces that the Valley
does not lose one Of its most important payroIls.
Loss in payroIs is only one of the dire effects as
the Palmer Independent School District would lose over
$1,000 in federal impact payments received by the
school district.
II behooves Dr. Wood TO reconsider his proposal If
not lets the University Of Alaska Palmer. The
buildings already in existence in Fairbanks might be put
to use as a future capital Of Alaska.
We wouldn't be surprised to find that to be the
