.'C.OFCr VOTES IN FAVOR OF
STATEHOOD
During the business neeting of thoChmbor
rhich preceded the address on Statehood
for Alaska by I4r» Atnood, the Chamber ’rated
to go on record as favoring Statehood.
Otherbusiness bakon up at the mooting in
cluded a discussion on the proposed nroperty
tax and pe rsonal proporty tax as jt uould
affect homesteaders and other non business ,
doming into the Territory,
Car': ?.i!snu>-son introduced the subject and
suggested ihiat the Chanter roqu.est the
Legislature to alior a £>1500 exemption for
a for,' yoai*3 to non homesteaders nho have
just proven, up on their lands, duo to the
fact that so much of the homesteaders in
come must be continually put back into his
p-uacu during a period in rhich he is not
realizing much in the nay of returns from
that property* Even a small tax during
xhis period of development could'nark a
roal'hardship on the homesteader, ho point
ed out. He nas supported by Don Irnin nho
felt that if the exemption nas alloned cn
non industries such as pulp mills, thonit
the same consideration should be extended
to other non businesses including fax mg,
Discussion follonod as to nhether.tho email
business man of every sort should be in
eluded. Differences of opinion centered
around the point that too often a snail
business nan had & snail investment and a
quicker turn-over, and that any tine he
could pick up hi6 investnent and leave tho
country; nhcroas, a honcstcadcr is putting
his money into something tiiich he cannot
take rith him. Ho is also developing and
adding permanent improvement to the country.
The discussion concluded nith a notion by
Don Imin to the effect that the Legislature
should be requested to aiend tho impending
legislation se that any neu enterprise uhich
contribute a to the development of cho Tor •
ritory should bo ox-arpt under this non lan
for the first i rt years* The notion passed.
