Stepovich Says Egan
Trying to Keep Eyes
Of Voters Off Real Issues
ANCHORAGE W — Gov. Wm.
Egan “is frantically attempting to
hide the ruinous deeds of his ad
ministration," Egan’s Republican
opponent in the Nov. 6 guberna
torial election, Mike Stepovich, said
Monday night.
Speaking before an audience at
the Alaska Methodist University,
Stepovich said Egan, in attacking
Stepovich’s legislative voting rec
ord of 8 or 10 years ago, actually
“is trying to keep the eyes of the
voters off the real issues.”
Stepovich said these issues were
what he termed Egan-backed tax
increases which have boosted the
cost of living, the use of oil lease
revenues to pay current operating
expenses and a “record of endless
failure. He has not given Alaska
the highways, airports, sc. ools and
other things for which money was
appropriated.
“Worst of all," Stepovich said,
“he gives us no hope for the
future . . . only the prospect of
more tax increases when our oil
lease money declines."
Stepovich said Egan, however,
won't discuss these matters. The
GOP candidate said Egan’s attacks
on his voting record were a “low
form of campaigning.
“By using the same tactics, I
can prove that Gov. Egan voted
five times against construction of
school buildings and gymnasiums,
vr>ted against expansion of the
University of Alaska, voted to
place an anti-union right-to-work
referendum on the ballot and voted
to reduce the state’s minimum
wage from $1.00 to 75 cents an
hour.”

Engineers Disagree
With Cost of
Capital Move
ANCHORAGE dP> — Cost com
putations by Juneau engineers and
architects on relocating the capital
have been condemned by 13 of
their counterparts in Anchorage.
A letter has been sent to news
papers of Alaska saying that the
Juneau document does not repre
sent all the facts of a bona fide
engineering analysis.
The letter also said it does not
represent the majority of views
of Alaskan engineers and archi
tects or any official view of their
professional organizations.
The Anchorage engineers ana
architects said:
‘Tt is regrettable and cannot be
condoned that the news media, paid
advertisements and various organ
. izations imply or state that the
report' was prepared unde r
auspices of other than Juneau
members of the various profes
sional societies.”
The letter was signed by Robert
Hoffman, a professional engineer.
He said 12 other engineers and
architects had joined him in the
' : letter.
; The Juneau document that is
1 the target of the letter purported
to present costs of building an en
tirely new city in the wilderness
’ The engineers said it would cosl
: S262 million and would have tc
cover 15,280 acres.
- i The report said the state woulc
’ | have to provide 1,015 houses foi
’ state employes at a cost of S25.00I
’ each, pay for building hotels
^ motels, apartments and other com
munitv facilities.
The Juneau engineers and archi
tects set the initial population c
! the city at 9,550 despite the fa<
that the City of Juneau, in 196
I had 6,700 population includir
fishermen and men in other en
i plovment.
They said the state would ha\
i to sell bonds of $150 million an
I pay $58,141,000 in interest to f
i nance a capital relocation.

How Has Egan Leadership
Helped Alaska Meet Its Obligations
Regarding
your rights
During These First
Years of Statehood?
EFFECTIVE COURT SYSTEM CREATED. Prompt
justice for Alaskans by Alaskans—this has been
the result of the creation of a court system. Cases
which formerly were lost or not tried because of
loss of witnesses delay and unreasonable cost are
now speedily determined.
LAW ENFORCEMENT EXTENDED. Establish
ment of new State Police posts and utilization of
roving patrols has extended law enforcement into
areas previously without benefit of such protec
tion. B girl joints have been closed down serving
to eliminate known professional hoods and crimi
nal elements from Alaska life.
CIVIL RIGHTS SECURED. Alaska now has on
its law books one of the most far-reaching pieces
of civil rights legislation ever enacted by any
state, providing equal accommodation in housing.
CRACK - DOWN ON UNSCRUPULOUS PROMO
TERS. As a result, of new banking and invest
ment laws and their vigorous enforcement, many
firms have oeen shut down by direct State action,
firms that previously misrepresented themselves as
legitimate business organizations. Unscrupulous pro
moters now find slim pickings in Alaska.
CONSUMERS PROTECTED. Bills have been en
acted to protect the public against false adver
tising and hidden interest and carrying charges.
NEW HEALTH MEASURES. Completion of the
Alaska Psychiatric Institute, together with the
Harborview Nursing Home at Valdez, marks in
auguration of an Alaskan program for treatment of
mentally ill. Additionally, 31 health centers pro
vide services on a full or part - time basis. The
rural community sanitation aid program has been
expanded since statehood to serve twice as many
persons as were covered previously.
HERE IS A COMMON SENSE PROGRAM,
ONE BASED ON ALASKAN CAPACITY TO
GROW AND EXPAND
