Statehood
Bills Are
Explained
i
, Principal differences between
H. R. 3768 <Dimond bill' and S.
951 (McCarran- Langer bill) for
statehood for Alaska.
1. The Senate bill proposes to
consolidate the vote of the peo
ple of Alaska on the state consti
tution itself and the vote for an
election of a representative and
two senators and all state and lo
v
cal officials. This is, in my
judgement, likely to lead to con
fusion and, therefore, I have pro
vided for a separate vote on the
state constitution and then, if the
constitution is approved, for an
other election to elect a repre
sen tative and senators and state
officials.
2. The Senate bill is not com
pletely explicit as to how much
of the area of Alaska will be re
tained by the Federal government
and how much will be transfer
red to the state. The House bill
seeks to make this'so clear as to
be beyond argument. Under the
House bill the State of Alaska
will have all the public lands of
Alaska except what is specifically
retained by the Federal Govern
ment in the bill listed in Sec. 4.
There is sound reason why the
Federal Government should re
tain all the land reserved to it in
this section, and it is doubtful if
any statehood bill could pass un
les such reservations were made
It will be observed that under the
provisions of this section the
ihestate will receive alfthe reser"
ved lands as well as all other
public lands in Alaska except
such as are individually described
as being retained by the Federal
Government. Some question may
arise about the Pribilof Islands,
but the perpetuation of the seal
herd on those islands has been
and i« the subject of agreements
with foreign countries and the
would be ineligible both to carry
out the provisions of the treaty
and to adequately police the Is
lands.
3. The House bill expressly
gives the state control of the fish
eries and fur and game and con
veys to the state all the property
used in connection with the con
servation and protection of fish
eries and fur and game except
technical or research plants and
apparatus. The Senate bill is
silent on that subject.
4. In the provisions of the two
two bills with respect to matters
affecting the judiciary, the Sen
ate bill provides for four United
States District Judges, the House
bill for only two. In this connect
ion it is to be noted that the state
will take over most of the juddic
ial work and, therefore, two
Federal District Judges should be
ample to take care of all business
within their jurisdiction. The
Senate bill does not contain any
explicit declaration that pending
causes will not abate upon the
coming of statehood. The House
bill. Section 10, has a positive
declaration upon that point. How
ever, it is probable that the Sen
ate bill is also adequate in the
respect mentioned
5. The Senate bill has no pro
vision with respect to the resid

ence of Federal Di triet Judges
and other officials appointed for
service in Alaska. The House
bill, in the last paragraph of Sec
tion 9, requires that all such off
icials shall have resided in Alaska
for at least three years immed
iately prior to the date of appoint
ment.
| 6. The Senate bill contains no
express provision with respect to
school lands. The House bill
maintains the present reserva
tions of Sections 16 and 36 in each
in each townsite for the support
of the common schools and also
reserves Section 33 of each town
jsite for the support of the Univ
ersity of Alaska. Under present
law only section 33 of each
I townsite in the Tan ana Valley is
j reserved for the support of the
j University of Alaska.
7. With respect to elections of
the delegates of the constitutional
convention and also a represent
ative and senators and state off
I . I
icials, the Senate bill contains no
provision as to primary elections
while the House bill seeks to a- j
dopt all our present election
j machinery for election both of
ithe delegates to the slate consti
tutional convention and for the
election of senators and repres
entatives and state officials be
cause otherwise there would be i
no provision whatever for the
1 nomination of candidates and the
• printing of ballots and other elec
i lion details.
8. Under the general provis
ions of the House bill, all the
property of the Alaska Railroad
within the state will become the
property of the state. No such
' provision is embraced in the Sen
i ate bill.

Dimond)

GREENV7LLE, Miss (Af)-—
“Hobo Jim” Roebuck writes
friends that transportation being
| what it is, it will take him six or
seven weeks to bum his way back
here from Calilorma.
For the town,s most noted and
beloved traveler, this is quite a
slowdown. Roebuck years ago
learned he could pyramid a can
of shoe polish and a flannel rag
into a heap of sightseeing. Since
his youth he has traveled far and
swiftly beneath some of the best
trains available, earning his meals
when necessary by shining shoes.
Only once did Jim Roebuck
ever return to Greenville inside a
passenger 'rain with the cash cus
tomers. But on that occasion he1
smoked expensive cigars, wore a
new suit and asked a city official
to change a $100 bill for him.
