Hitchcock Favots
Federal Tax Relist
‘The 1957 Legislature faces
a financial crisis. Many new ser
vices are needed, but the Terri
tory is already taxed beyond ca
pacity to pay. The answer to the
problem lies, not in more taxa
tion, but in development of the
economy to provide a sound re
venue base”, so said Independ
ent candidate, Ben Hitchcock
this week.
“The best hope we have for
tax relief lies in persuading Con
gress to grant exemption from
federal income tax. This would
provide funds both for develop
ment, and the support of Terri
1 torial government”, he added.
Hitchcock further stated there
are many good reasons to be
lieve Congress will grant such
relief if Alaskans will solidly
i sponsor a request for it. “Some
! Congressmen have already stat
ed they will approve an Omni
bus-Home Rule bill for Alaska
! if we will ask for it”, he pointed
out, and added that besides tax
j exemption this would include
control of fisheries and other re
j sources, elective governor, and
| other such reforms.
“Therefore”, he said, “if the
Tennessee plan fails to bring
statehood, the 1957 Legislature
should memorialize Congress for
home rule with tax exemption.
In the meantime, Territorial ex
pense should be kept to a min
imum, with no new taxes, unless
approved by the voters in refer
endum.”
“One project, however, that
; should not be curtailed, is re
source development. Loans for
agriculture and other basic re
source enterprise must be in
creased. This is not an expense,
but a successful proven invest
ment, and should take priority,
even if other less vital projects
| must be postponed’’, he conclud
| ed.

makes his home at Caribou
