RESTORATION FUND
TALKED AT MEETING
At the Friday luncheon of
the SilJka Chamber of Commer
ce, the Chamber's pledge of
$500 to St. 'Michael’s Cathedral
restoration fund was discussed
It was pointed out that if
rules of the church require all
revenues from rental properties
locally to be sent to national
headqualers, perhaps this rule
could be modified to permit the
church to put a portion of these
revenues into the restoration
fund. Several members voiced
opinions that the church itself
should partisipate in a substan
tial way, alon)g with donations
/from Uhe community. It was
decided these views should be
1 conveyed to the restoration com
mittee at its next meeting and
obtain their opinion.
Leslie Yaw announced a five
man Japanese technical mission
was arriving that afternoon to
remain until Suday. A dinner
honorinjg the visitors was ar
ranged for Saturday at the Elks
Clubrooms.. The visitors were

'here, then on Saturday visit it
hy boat and car. Sunday they
.will tour Mt. Edgecumfbe, prior
to their departure.
Miss Marilyn Lai da of the
student governing association
of Sitka high school was a guest
at the meeting.
Russell Clithero reported he
had a 1‘etlJer llroim Newell Dav
is, ‘brother of Jim Davis who
at one time operated Totem Air
Service into Sitka, asking if
the Ghamlber would he interes
ted in direct non-soheduled air
connections to Seattle. This was
referred to !the aviation com
mittee.
Dr. Carl Mankinen raised the
question of flueridation of the
water supply, stating U. S. Pub
lie ‘Health Service favored such )
a plan. The matter was held
over until the next meeting.
Convention
tion into a 15-day recess Sat
urday, delegates went through
another stormy session. This
one dealisg with initiative and
referendum sections of the pro
posed constitution.
The debate developed when
attempts were made to amend
an already approved section
granting Alaskans the powers
of initiative and referendum.
R. E. Robertson of Juneau
asked that Aliaskans reserve
the power by petition ‘to pro
pose laws,” ibut not to “enact
or reject such laws at the
polls.”
Convention president Wil
liam Egan ruled Roibeit son’s;
proposal would kill the whole j
article and held it was out oif j
order.
Later Rolbertson moved to
stike part of the art icle which '
would prevent l.he governor
from vetoing an initiative law
and the legislature from a
mending or repealing it.
i This was voted down but
delegates in a later vote gave
j i.he legislature the power to

amiend Jaws initiated *by the
[ people. j
Urging support of his amend
ment, Robertson told the dele
gates:
“The initiative and referen
dum are one step in l.he de
struction of the republican
[form of government. Spending
$40,000 for an (initiative) el
ection doesn’t insure good leg
islation.”
Delegates spent eighi: hours
ahg'uinjg that article of the con
stitution and went home at 6
p. m. with (the work umfinish- j
ed. j
One stumbling block was
the move by John McNealy of
Fairbanks to reconsider bis
vote on the issue of whether
there should be 10 or 16 per
cent voters’ signatures on in
itiative and referendum peti
tions.
The committee had recom
mended 8 iper cent, but the del
egates changed it to 15. Later
they voted 29-21 to change it
to 10 per cent.
McNealy then moved to re
consider tout lost by five votes
an attempt to .take up the is
sue again immediately. This
held the matter over until the
next session.
The delegates decided a pe
tition must contain signatures
of qualified electors resident
in at least two thirds of the
election districts. This was to
insure that the proposed law
had supporters in more than
one section of Alaska.
“One of the things hamper
ing us now,” said Juneau1 del
egate R. Roland Armstrong,
“is the feeling that one area j
is tryinjg i o dominate another.!
Let’s have signatures (from all j
over Alaska to avoid sectional- \
ism.” i
