“most important. . . was
set'ing- the territory’s finan
cial hoi.se in order.”
“A sound and moderate
program. . . long overdue and
clearly essential” of various
taxes was enacted by the 1949
legislature, the governor
states.
Other highlights of the
year, the governor points out,
were a substantial airport
construction program, build
ng of new school houses,
leation of a highway patrol,
joint federal and territorial
tgr. cultural program, con
sul vation of fisheries, and in
creasing awareness by Alaska
communities of their own
problems and opportunities.
“Much remains to be done
and many problems remain to
be solved,” Gruening says.
The practice of ‘‘get rich
and get out” is still consider
able though decreasing;
transportation by ‘‘sea and
air was still handicapped by
actions of men and by events
not responsive to the interests
of Alaskans;” the cost of liv
ing was high; and housing and
school construction would lag
behind needs.
“Absentee domination. . .
though recognized and di
minishing here and there, was
stil\ potent and injurious,”
he adds.

A report on the “two years
of achievement” of the A
laska Statehood Committee
has just been published and is
available to any individuals
who wish copies of it, Mrs.
Mildred Hermann, secretary
ot the committee, has an
nounced.
The report, dated Feb. 15,
1951, summarizes the activi
ties of the committee, and in
several different lists, names
the groups and persons who
have backed statehood for the
territory.
“State hood has won na
tion-wide approval since this
committee was created by the
1949 legislature”, Robert B.
Atwood, chairman, states in a
message introducing the re
port.
“The Alaska Statehood
Committee marshalled the in
fluence and help of the friends
of Alaska in high places.
Statehood depended entirely
on action by the political lead
ers of the nation”, Atwood
continues.
The report, published in
pamphlet form, lists the rea
sons why Alaska needs state
hood, and how the nation will
benefit from it.
Also enumerated in the re
port are prominent Americans
who accepted membership on
the statehood committee, na
tional groups which endorsed
it, governors who approved it,
and newspapers which fa
vored it editorially.
