Sen. Butler Named
Arch-Opponent Of
Alaska Statehood
ANCHORAGE, (£>)—The chair^
man of the Alaska Statehood
Committee declared Thursday Re
publican Senator Hugh Butler
of Nebraska “is still the arch
statehood opponent despite claims
he favors it,” under certain con
ditions.
Robert B. Atwood said the sen
ator is pledging support to a bill
he knows will not pass and has
made erroneous statements on
land and tax problems.
Butler, ranking member of the
Senate Committee on Interior and
Insular Affairs, said at Cam
bridge, Neb., Wednesday he will
favor admitting Alaska ttf t h e
union when the territory gets a
* . A m
tax base broad enough to suppoTt
statehood.
He said all the territory’s pub
1 i c lands, including tidelands,
should be given to the new state,
instead of retaining them to the
federal government.
Atwood said Butler is “living
in a horse and buggy era in his
thinking toward Alaska. He con
tinually refuses to recognize the
facts.”
The territory has a tax base
more than adequate to support
statehood,^ Atwood said.
“It is one of the few if not the
only political entity under the
American flag that has no in
debtedness. It is ending the bi
ennium with a surplus in the
treasury estimated at four to five
million dollars.”
“This healthy condition exists
even without a territorial prop
erty tax and with only a two cent
gasoline fax. Both of these are
sources of additional revenue if
needed.”
