Kodiak Needs
AL OWEN
In the Senate!
After Alaskans had chosen their
first State Legislature, the mem
bers of the Alaska State Senate
organized their legislative body
and they chose Kodiak’s Senator
A1 Owen as chairman of the single
most powerful committee on Capi
tol Hill—the Senate Finance com
mittee.
Kodiak’s Senator A1 Owen was
chosen for this vital leadership
post because of his demonstrated
and proven integrity, ability, and
his many years of legislative fiscal
experience in territorial legisla
tures.
His fellow Alaskan senators, rep
resenting many areas and districts,
also chose Kodiak’s Senator A1
Owen to serve on the influential
Senate Policy committee and gave
him a valued seat on the Senate
Commerce and Labor committee.
Under the Senate’s seniority
system, Kodiak’s A1 Owen will
again hold these vital leadership
posts in the state government if
re-elected to represent Kodiak.
Any newly-elected senators would
have to begin on the bottom of
the legislative ladder and would
possess correspondingly less influ
ence to obtain benefits for the
Kodiak-Aleutian Senate District.
Here is but a partial list of the
many benefits obtained for our
part of Alaska by Kodiak’s Senator
A1 Owen:
1. Wrote the legislation creating
our Department of Fisheries.
2. W'orked with Red Carlson to
get power in the Bristol Bay fish
ing boats. (Under sails 17 fisher
men were lost in one storm.)
3. Obtained the funds for the
Ouzinkie Road.
4. Obtained the authorization
and money for Kodiak Airport and
Bush Type landing fields at the
villages around Kodiak and out on
the Chain.
5. Obtained funds for the Kar
luk bridge.
G. Obtained the money for a
school for Port Moller.
7. Fought hard to get the "Sick
and Disabled Fishermen’s Fund”
established. (There is about $100,
000 in it now.)
8. Co-authored the “Workmen’s
Compensation Act” — considered
the best in all the 50 States. (And
it operates at a reduced cost to the
employer over what he paid under
the old act!)
9. Aided in getting old age pen
sions raised at least three times
during *the five sessions he has
served in the legislarture.
10. Fought on several'occasions
for the increases granted Depend
ent Children.
11. Co-sponsored the legislation
establishing minimum wages and
time-and-one-half for overtime.
12. During the last session of the
legislature he obtained the Frazer
River Fishway on Kodiak which
will start construction this fall.
13. Obtained funds for the Kitoi
Pink Salmon Study which is al
ready underway ... as well as
funds for the Kodiak Shrimp
Study.
14. All Housing and Veterans’
loan legislation has had his active
support.
15. As Chairman of the Educa
tion Committee in 1955. he caused
legislation to be passed improving
the accounting and business pro
cedures of the Alaska Board of
Education.
16. At all times he has worked
to keep the government out of
private business undertakings, both
at the state and federal levels.
