Dear Sir:
When a region has advanced
to the present day status of the
Territory of Alaska its best way
i forward is to become a member
j state of the United States.
i If we would be civilized, with
all the attendant conveniences,
j there is no escape from taxation.
Simply, money is required to buy
i power dams, electric and tele
phone lines, sewer systems and
paved roads. These things mean
| taxes and when such taxes are
; honestly expended they are thor
{oroughly worth-while.
It is desirable that heavy indus
: tries come into Alaska but not at
the expense of the living stand
ards of the people. Such indus
j tries are well able to pay taxes
: and wage scales that will pro
mote the well-being of the people.
Irreplaceable natural resources
should not be exploited without
a decent portion remaining in
Alaska in the form of good roads
\ and modern schools.
The importance of statehood in
I achieving these things cannot be
j over-emphasized. The value of
! voting representation in Wash
ington is worth the cost of state
ihood.
Very truly yours,
BERTREN R. CURRY
