To
Senator
Declares
see
that
a
general
tax
bill
gets
through
at
the
next
session
oi
the
legislature
a
tax
bill
that
includes
real
and
personal
property
taxes.
Alaska
had
to
shwW.
;uat'or
Butler
declared,
that
It
can
support
the
more
expenslvs
form
of
state
government
ana
the
responsibilities
thereby
assumed.
That.vSO'.vrnment
cannot
be
supported
with
a
few
.special-taxes
such
as
on
the
canning
industry,
for
which
the
Senator
hastened
to
make
clear
he
had
no
brief.
"The
development
of
Alaska
and
the
Northwest
Territories
of
Canada
together
with
Northern
nrltUh
Columbia
and
the
pert
of
Prince
Rupert
could
well
go
hand
in
hand,"
asserted
Senator
Butler.
"I
have
every
reason
to
believe
that
the
governments
of
Canada
will
co-operate
to
the
fullest
extent
in
the
development-of
their
mutual
Interests
in
the
great
north
country
which
can
be
of
such
tremendous
economic
value
to
both.
Some
people
think
of
the,
equal
value
of
Alaska
and
north
western
Canada
from
a
defence
standpoint.
Both
governments
should
build
build

Senator
enator
Butler
Bailer'
expre
expressed
him
self
as
being
much
impressed
with
the
shipping
facilities
of
Prince
Rupert
and
was
surprised
better
use
was
not
being
made
of
the
grain
elevator
here.
Alaskans
quite
generally
were
banking
on
the
use
of
transportation
facilities
through
Prince
Rupert
for
the
establishment
of
a
new
trading
route
to
the
Middle
West.
"The
people
cf
Alaska
1
found,
want
some
competition
for
Seattle
and
they
all
see
the
possibilities
of
Prince
Rupert
through
the
amending
of
the
Jones
Act
until
such
time
as
statehood
automatically
removes
'ts
application."
ALASKA
AS
PART
OF
KCONOMY
Senator
Dutlcr
said
.
he
had
been
much
Impressed
with
Alaska
as
a
part
of
the
economy
and
defwe
of
the
United
States
and
Jointly
with
Canada.
The
American
solon,
speaking
of
the
present
chaotic
shipping
situation
In
Alaska,
expressed
;
thq
hope
that
the
differing
fac-
j
tlons
in
labor
dispui.es
would
get
I
together
at
as
early
a
date
as
possible.
"The

sltua
Hon
is

Bood."
j
he
commented.

An
early
snowstorm
prevented
the
party
from
flyln;
from
Fairbanks
to,

but
they
had
a.
long
