A very factual and realistic article on Alaska in general arid
Anchorage in particular in a recent Issue of the Saturday Evening
Post should make a lot of Alaskans wonder whether changing thB nanjo
of Territory of Alaska to State of Alaska Is going to havo tho “ *
promised magical effect of putting substancu in those much touted
,4vast resources." And since you cannot get blood out of an Alaska
spud the idea of hi taxes to support this phony State is meaningless^
If they confiscate all the property in Alaska it will not support
the State. All v;o can expect to do is to whine for Uncle tot‘come ‘
and bail us out,, And less than a year ago the Alaska Press was ,
reitterating endlessly that "Statehood Would cost us NOTHING. "Ourk/
treasuries would be bursting with all kinds of rsyenuesV r ' •• v

* The most mystifying mystery of modern time was the vote'
a year ago on this funny Alaska statehood. ,We Alaskans went'to' the"'
polls and voted 35,000 to 7,000 for statehood. Since then this\! *
goofy statehood structure has str.r ted falling down around ourjihra.
In the last few months we have talked with hundreds of 'Alasiftns ■ **•
and if we did not know that the election vma honest and on thd up
‘.and up we would have to believe that the election was just tho
reverse, 35,000 against and 7,000 or less for statehood. It is hard
to find anyone who hr.3 the timerity to admit’ that he fell for anything
so redickerlouse and impossible as statehood. But brother, try to
be cheerful, we are stuck with it.Taxes, you aint .see n nothin-jfffc****
