Governor Langlie urged dele
gates to take greater responsibil
ity in local and state government,
and declared that development of
“sound fiscal policies” is essen
tial if we are “to preserve free
government.”
Governor McKay of Oregon
urged a joint effort throughout
the Northwest to merchandise
products and tourist attractions.
A proposal that the federal gov
ernment grant a federal income
tax reduction to all corporations
establishing new industries in
Alaska until their capital invest
ment has been returned was en
dorsed by the industrial section
of the association.
The measure was introduced in
the form o fa resolution by H. L.
Faulkner, Juneau chamber of
commerce. The Juneau chamber
has already endorsed the measure,
and Congress will be asked to con
sider it this coming session.
Reasons advanced for the ex
emption are that risks of doing
business and venturing capital in
Alaska are gerater than in United
States proper. The exemptions
would under the measure be ef
fective for 15 years in the case of
each new corporation or until the
capital investment had been re
turned, whichever would be the
shorter period.
