Oppose Statehood
WASHINGTON, — (/P) —Two
Alaska newspaper executives said
today they feel the Territory can
not yet afford Statehood.
The expenses which Statehood
involves would force an almost
confiscatory tax burden upon Al
askans, said Mrs. Helen Troy Mon
sen, Juneau, and Miss Miriam
Dickey, Fairbanks.
The high taxes a State govern
ment would require would drive
off outside capital for the dev
elopment of Alaska.
I Mrs. Monsen, daughter of a for
mer Territorial Governor, is pub
lisher of the Daily Alaska Em
pire at Juneau.
Miss Dickey, executive secret
ary to Alaska’s millionaire A. E.
Lathrop, is an official of the Mid
! ' night Sun Broadcasting Co., and
j its radio stations--KFAR at Fair
; banks and KENI, to be opened
May 2 at Anchorage-- and of the
: Tanana Publishing Co., and its
I publication, the Fairbanks Daily
1 News-Miner.
They will sail from New York
Thursday, on the Queen Mary,
for several months in Europe. In
Washington they attended a Sen
ate territories sub-committee hear
ing on proposed Hawaiian state
I hood legislation.
“We heard a lot of testimony
; dealing in generalities about the
blessings of statehood, but not one
witness presented an actual cost
estimate balancing the probable
expenses and other disadvantages
| against the prospective benefits,
Mrs. Monsen commented.
Miss Dickey added:
“We want statehood when we
can achieve it proudly and suc
i cessfully, not when we would be
I inviting bankrupey. When we
j get more people and more capital,
j statehood will come naturally.”
