No one receives something for nothing. If we are to ask our representatives for | improvements it stands to reason those improvements must be paid. | 1 do not agree with Mrs. E. E. Engstrcm’s tax theory in her article | of April 17, in the Empire, when she states the tax program must be set | up first and then figure out the expenditures. { Government legislation is a little differsnt than a personal budget, | for the reason 2 man’s salary is more or less set, whereas the government l can always add additional tax to cover necessary expenditures. In our | form of government legislation should be the will of the majority. If the | majority want their way of life improved by building roads, alrports.“ boat harbors, better school systems, then the bills must be paid. { It is the duty of the voter to pass on to the legislator the benefits, | in the form of bills, they think should be acted upon. The Legislature‘ must then weed out the inopportune bilis and pass a fair standard of | legislation desired. It is THEN an equitable tax program MUST be set | up to cover these expenditures. | | It is because I believe the voters of the Territory have the brains | and courage to correct the ills of the government that I advocate state- hocd. When every veter realizes that he or she can exercise individual | right to protect and develop our natural resources, only then will the waste and plunder by those interests paying little or no tax to the Terri- tory be stopped. Statechood is the answer! 5 I believe that only by having more representation in our national | govenment can we hope to obtain our share of national legislation, and be given the recognition we so justly deserve. Statehood is the answer! I believe we should have a proper program for harbor and road im- provements. ‘ . | I believe we should strive to improve our scheol system, and I am much in favor of a vocational trade school for Alaska. I believe we should set up an adequate amount of welfare and old age pensions. | I believe in being tolerant of the other fellows viewpeint.

This is my first candidacy for territorial office. I have not served in the legislature before. Throughout my 25 years in Alaska—I am now 45 years of age—I have had a keen interest in public affairs.
