October 11, 1963.
"Since the achievement of Statehood, the
gross volume of business in Alaska has
increased by 65 per cent. Employment has
risen considerbly, exports have grown from
^5,000,000 to .'25,000,000 annually and the
population ;rowth continues to be one of
the Nation’s highest. In addition, for the
first timeAlaska’s road, Airport, school,
boat harbor and other needs are being met.
Teachers' salaries have been increased
twice; the University of .ELaska has been
given a tremendous face-lifting. ,<e have
a Mental Health *rogram, a court system,
a massive program to rehabilitate and
expand our fisheries. That certain im
portant growth features relative to our
expanding oil and gas production and
exploration activities result from State
hood will be attested by industry spokes
men. These advances have occurred despite
a sharply reduced military construction
program now only one-third it’s pre-State
hood level. Impartial federal studies show
a steadily shrinking margin of difference
in the cost-of-living between Alaska and
it’s Sister States. .Aid during this entire
period of transition, consolidation and
unprecedented expansion—during the past
five years—there has been but one. round
of tax increases, .evenue from those inc^r.r
creases reflec an amount equal to
approximately l$> of the State budget. The
combined rate of State and local taxation
for each 31,000 of individual income is
lower in .ELaska than in any other State.
Increased State Government employment
reflects the takeover by the State of many
responsibilities which were previously
functions of the Federal Government. Mr.
Schulman is not the first visiting reporter
to spend his few days in ELaska interview
ing and reporting views of irreconciliable
Anti-Statehooders. continually increasing 9
number of new and old .ELaskans could have
provided Mr. Schulman with a readt answer
to his question; Yes, Alaska not only will
survive, but will thrive as a State".
