of miners stating in part that the
estimated tax structure now takes
$17,000,000.00, and that liquor
taxes in Alaska today were the
highest source of tax in the in
dustry, even higher than the fish
ing industry.
John McNees stated tha* the
Second Division could not be left
out of the picture for Statehood, as
in this Division lay the great po
tential resources of the nation and
an asset which cannot be denied,
as we have what the other Divi
sions do not have and with roads
it may be the center of population
before too long. Roads, he stated
are correlated with Statehood and
development.
Senator Anderson regretted the
absence of the seven other Legis
lators, feeling that the meeting
was of great importance to all of
them. He stated that a memorial
was passed in the last Legislature
for the Fairbanks-Nome road.
He explained that the Alaska
Development Board was organized
in 1945. when the Governor of
Alaska was authorized by the Leg
islature to choose four men, sin
cere in their interests for the Ter
ritory, to make up the Board
which is the only group of its kind
to stand up for the rights of the
people. He felt that the Governor
had been wise in his choice as
only through the work ot the Alas
ka Development Board was Alas
ka saved from an exorbitant mar
itime raise in rates, saving in this
project alone, millions for the peo
ple of Alaska.
He stated that the Board was
also a guide to the Legislature for
the making of good laws and he
was “glad for the existence of the
Alaska Development Board.”
Karl Dewey, called upon about
Statehood, stated that he ft! we
should look before we leap and in
the final analysis, study the mat
ter carefully before l:.' ng f.nal
action. He was backed up in his
arguments by W. Nay.
W. E. MacDonald. Geo’ ge Bo tis,
and Hilky Robinson, discussed the
gold situation and how, with the
unchanged price of gold and the

a standstill. They showed how the
price of wheat, corn, iron and
other metals had advanced in price
many times since the gold stand
ard was set and how prospecting
cannot be encouraged unless there
is the hope of earning a living from
gold mining. They urged the
Board to demand that the price
of gold be raised as a means of de
veloping the Second Division,
which is dependent on mining.
Joe Hunt, newest businessman
in Nome, expressed his opinion
that he felt more attention must
be given to the tourist and his
needs, which is primarily housing.
Mrs. W. Nay summed up the
Statehood situation with a few
well spoken words: “If we want
it, we can have it by just getting
in and trying—other States got it
that way—one in particular being
Utah. The same for better homes,

of his trip by plane to the land of
his birth. Incidentally he adviseo
that he had already met several
pioneers of Nome’s early days.
Quite appropriately they plan to
celebrate the Roof Garden simul
taneously with the Nome Pioneers,
setting their time accordingly.
Wonderful! The Roof Garden is
becoming a universal celebration.

investment in the nugget, selected
