Under what we believe is the false assumption that money which is taken out of Alaska is lost to Alaska, or materials which are taken out of Alaska are Jast to Alaska, the present chief executive of the Territory continues to ask our Territorial lawmakers | to throw up taxation barriers which would reduce the free flow of capital and labor into the Territory. + This year the reference comes up as usual in con- | nection with a proposed tax system that would correct “our most fundamental Territorial problem. That | problem is to prevent, or at least to diminish, the constant drain, or removal from the Territory of its natural wealth, either in the form of materials or wages, without leaving any modest equivalent behind.” These are the words used by the Governor in his message of this yea The same contention has cropped up in his messages of previous sessions of the Legislature. Are we to believe that wealth is created only by | labor? If America had national socialism, or com- | munism, this economic assumption might be accepted. But this is not the case. Here, it is still true that | wealth is produced by the combined and cooperative | effort of capital, labor and natural resources, co- | ordinated by management. We say that the free flow of capital into Alaska | is necessary if Alaska is to survive. If, on the other hand, Alaska i$ to be turned into a country of reserva- | tions and national monuments, then let us accept | these peculiar theories of taxation. Today Alaska is still a pioneer country with an | economy based upon the production of raw materials— products which are not highly processed before they leave the Territory. Alaska's basic industries are fishing and mining. Alaska supplies the raw materials and all of the | labor a\mlable To compensate for this inadequate MONDAY FEBRUARY I9 1945 supply of labor brought about because these indus- tries are seasonal in character, seasonal workers are brought in from Outside. { Alaska produces mainly fish and minerals. Are | we asked to institute a tax program which would prevent or diminish the flow of these products to the States? Are we asked to believe that all of these products can be consumed in Alaska? | These products are shipped Outside to the markets. | They come back to Alaska in the form of products which are unobtainable in Alaska—nearly all of our food, or clothing, machinery, refrigerators, washing | machines, automobiles—practically everything Alas- kans use—because these products are not obtainable in Alaska. No amount of argument along the “keep the money at home” line can alter this exchange. | Money is simply a medium of exchange. In reality, | our raw materials are exchanged for goods—goods are ‘oxchnnged for goods. Money which is earned in Alaska cannot be spent in Alaska, in reality, except to the extent that EAlaska consumes her own output. Alaska does not | produce that for which she spends her money. | Alaskans are exchanging their products of which | they have a surplus, for products brought in from the | States, of which Alaskans have a deficiency. | Alaska’s economy will develop as her basic indus- | tries are developed and new ones added. But this cannot be done by shutting out capital that may be obtained from Outside. The necessary capital cer- ! tainly may not be found within Alaska. The real purpose of this proposed tax program | as it hits at our really basic industry at the present— | fishing—is to penalize capital—the owners of which |are not residents of Alaska. In other words, the | author of the program believes Alaska is now ready !to go ahead on its own, without any more capital from Outside. We are ready to adopt the “closed door™” policy. Let us be realistic. Suppose such barriers had existed previously? Most of Alaska's resources would) | still be untouched today. We believe that eventually more of our capital will be supplied locally—but to attempt to bring this \desirable thing about overnight through the artificial | method of taxation would be disastrous. Even today |our Western States must seek capital from the East ! for new ventures. ‘We believe that so far the development of Alaska’s!

P. Kirby had been quietly married two days previously by U. S. Commissioner V. A. Paine. Coast Guard cutter Unalga, under command of Lt. Comdr. E. G. Rose, arrived in port after an absence of three months. The Cygan had also arrived at the base in Ketchikan. In Washington, D. C., Gen. Mitchell was continuing his attack on the U. S. Army Air Force, declaring it was totally inadequate and he also announced the coast defenses of the Hawaiian Islands were obsolete. The Hoonah cage team, victors over the Douglas five and also Juneau Alumni, was to take on the speedy Juneau High School cagers this night. George Anderson, piano tuner, left for Ketchikan on the Admiral Rogers. The Grand Igloo of the Pioneers of Alaska was to be held in Juneau during the next month and John Reck, John Rustgard, H. R.
