LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Fairbanks, Alaska
DearEditor:
How strange is coincidence.
It brings a chuckle every time
we look at the statehood commit
tee’s attractive propaganda pam
phlet in favor of adopting the pro
posed constitution for Alaska, be
cause among the two pages of
newspaper comments is a full page
devoted to a Letter to the Editor
of the Minneapolis Tribune from a
Minnesota housewife indicating
their intense desire for another
Minnesota constitutional conven
tion.
Do you wonder why Minnesota
voters desire and really need a
new or revised constitution?
Because—the Minnesota consti
tution was adopted IN HASTE in
order to get Minnesota into the
Union as quickly as possible and
they have REPENTED IN LEIS
URE (since 1857) over theirinade
quate document.
To quote from a January 1955
League of Women Voters of Minn
esota “Background Information on
a Constitutional Convention for
Minnesota”: “The more thoughtful,
conscientious members comforted
themselves with insistence on the
insertion of an easy amending pro
cess. They stated: ‘We admit the
constitution is not perfect. The im
portant question now, however, is
to adopt peacefully some constitu
tion, whatever it may contain, and
to get Minnesota into the Union
as quickly as possible.’ ”
Does that have a familiar ring?
Minnesota’s constitution has been
patched with 80 ammendments.
Sincerely yours,
(s) Alice Stuart
