Business conditions in Alaska
are fair and the country will
come through the present econ
omic depression in fine shape if
there is cooperation in the pro
gram to retrench on government
expenditures until 1931 taxes have
come into the treasury next spring.
Such is the opinion of Gover
nor George A. Parks after a sur
vey of business conditions in the
several communities between Jun
eau and Fairbanks, reports the
Fairbanks News-Miner.
It will be necessary to put' a
brake on some of the Territorial
projects which had been authoriz
ed by the legislature for this year,
the governor explained, if the
treasury is not to be in the same
shape as Mother Hubbard’s cup
board before the taxes start roll
ing in.
If all appropriations authorized
were made it is calculated the
treasury would be empty as the
bulk of the taxes from the can
neries do not start coming in
until January.
Money must be kept on hand
for certain institutions such as
schools, the Pioneers’ Home and
pensions, said Governor Parks,
and in order to assure that funds
the available some projects not
absolutely imperative will be held
in abeyance.
The outlook for a favorable fish
pack this year is good but the
Territorial oficials do not believe
they should go ahead and ex
pend funds to the full limit and
then face the possibility of small
tax returns.
Then, it was said, if taxes come
in as they are expected to appro
priations could be doubled up next
year. “We are going to come out
in fine shape,” declared Gover
nor Parks.
The Territory is not in the posi
tion of most governments which,
if they need money, can go out
and borrow it. By the organic act
it is restrained from going into
debt, necessitating a close watch
on the treasury at all times.
