NTEREST III THE
L
(By W.A.S.)
Application has been received by
the Delegate from a young man in
Fairbanks who desired to enter a
government aviation school. The
executive officer of the Air Corps
promises to give him an opportun
ity to qualify for entrance, when he
reaches the age of 20.

j Since the Territorial Legislature
of Hawaii declared for statehood a
jyear ago there has been more or less
«sentiment in Alaska for similar ac
tion upon the part of its Terri tor
; ial Legislature, without giving much
consideration to the largely in
. creased cost of maintaining a state
| with a limited population of 60,000
| people scattered over an area of
! 586.400 square miles. Hawaii has a
; population of 386,336 and an area
| of but 6.407 square miles. During
: the past week Delegate Houston in
[ troduced a concurrent resolution
i “requesting and urging the Con
gress of the United States of Am
erica to pass an enabling act au
thorizing the people of the Terri
tory of Hawaii to form a constitu
tion and State government, to be
admitted to the Union on an equal
footing with the original States.”
Delegate Houston privately ad
mits that he does not believe that
the resolution will pass at this ses
sion, although he says: “We have
the disadvantages of statehood, but
not its advantages. We are carry
ing the burden, but have to plead
for the rewards. Hawaii today is
an example of taxation without
representation. We have more peo
ple than four of the States, and we
pay more income and corporation
tax than 13 of them.”
When Governor Lawrence M.
Judd was in Washington last month
he said that statehood for Hawaii
is inevitable in the distant future
but at present any political change
would be premature and inoppor
tune. He then explained that “agi
tation to make the territory a
State, so pronounced a year ago, ap
pears to have abated as many of
the political leaders realize the
gravity of altering the political
complexion during an unsettled
period. At present it is unwise
to set up State sovereignty. Econ
omic conditions are unsettled. Ha
waii should wait until the political
complexion is definitely determined
and it has been proven demonstra
bly that State government will be j
better for the people themselves

The Bureau of the Budget has j
recommended an appropriation of
$650,000 for the Alaska Road Com
mission and it is understood that
the House will accept that designa
tion. Delegate Wickersham hopes
to have the sum increased to $800,
000 when the bill reaches the Sen
ate, through the good graces of
Senator Wesley Jones, of Washing
ton State, who expresses himself as
receptive to the needs of Alaska
and as chairman of the Appropria
tions Committee is in a position to
render valuable aid to the Terri
tory. The difficulty in getting the
ordinary appropriations through
Congress this session can be under
stood when the present deficit
prompts the President to urge the
utmost economy. And now comes
Senator Pat Harrison, of Missis
sippi, the Democratic leader in the
Senate, who has introduced a reso
lution calling upon the Appropria
tions Committee to slash an addi
tional 3300.000,000 off budget esti
mates.
