The prosperity of any community depends very |
largely upon the co-operation manifested by the |

honest co-operation between all elements that in |
any way affect the common welfare.
So it is with Alaska. No one section of this |
great land can prosper for long at the expense of =
any other section; all constructive efforts must be |
so co-ordinated that but one outcome will result— |
Co-operation; and Co-operation means Prosperity. |
