While state- hood would undoubtedly result in increased taxation, — Alaska Newspapers, 1011 |all the information at hand indicates that such in- crease would not be oppressive or burdensome.

( “The origin of this particular piece of legislation seems to have been in the Legislature of the State of Nevada. In the Congressional Record of March 10, page 1820, there was inserted a copy of a Joint | Resolution of the Nevada Legislature requesting statehood for Alaska. In its preamble the Resolution |recites the size, population, and glves data on’ the commercial importance of Alaska, and then continues las follows: | “‘Resolved by the Assembly and the Senate of |the State of Nevada (jointly), That the Congress of - T - the United States be, and it hereby ‘is, memorialized STATEHOOD FOR ALASKA |to' extend to the Territory of Alaska full status of a 2 State of the United States, thus assuring full repre- Alaska Delegate Anthnn\ J.
