VOTERS TO SEE “THE RECORD” OF
BARTLETT'S 8 YEARS IN CONGRESS
Making its first public appear
ance next week will be a unique
eight page publication of “The
Record,” a partial review of the
eight-year record of Alaska Dele
gate to Congress E. L. “Bob”
Bartlett.
The paper is published by a
group known as “Alaskans for
Bartlett for Congress.”
In more than two dozen stories,
Alaskans are told about the role
the Delegate has played in the
fight for progressive legislation
beneficial to Alaska, about the
enormity of a job well done, and
the reputation for concientious
ness and hard work he has earned
from Washington’s Senators and
Representatives. Reports on his
special accomplishments in Con
gress include effort this year to
get Alaska Public Works funds
increased from $7 million; his
help on the Alcoa project and in
development of the pulp industry;
his efforts to get agricultural
funds increased; his help on bene
ficial mining legislation and in
the development of coal: his work
in simplifying procedures for ac
quiring public lands—-particular
ly in the small tract act; his at
tempts to provide Alaska with a
mental hospital and to replace the
gas-light era treatment of the
mentally ill with a modern set
up based on procedure long-es
tablished in other parts of the
world. His particular efforts in
behalf of Alaskan veterans, gov
ernment employees, Natives, Al
aska Railroad employees, and
many other—including Bob Reeve
—are also mentioned. Federal ap
propriations for Alaska during
Bartlett’s eight years as Delegate
to Congress are totaled to a stag
gering figujre of $1,368,112,775.
Although all these election year
reminders are food for thought,
a more basic morsel is offered by
the Delegate, himself, in a col
umn entitled “Random Observa
tions.” Samples:
“Very frequently you hear and
read the warnings of those who
fear the country is going ‘socialist’
or ‘welfare state’ or worse. I pay
little heed to these prophets of
doom.
“What they don’t realize is that
every year our economy is be
coming more and more complex
and that it is only normal and
natural that your government
keep on its toes and continually
set forth certain ‘ground rules’
to maintain an intelligent balance
as our civilization undergoes its
chaos beyond imagination.
“Yet realitic legislation which
keeps pace with changing condi
tions has not changed any of our
basic American principles, con
trary to what the ‘prophets of
doom’ may say.
“Take yourself, for instance.
Even with your higher taxes you

“The only thing I can tell you
about myself is that I have al
ways supported and introduced
legislation which I believe sin
cerely would benefit all the peo
ple of Alaska.”
“Much of the influence a vote
less delegate has in Congress de
pend upon what the Senators or
Representatives think of him per
sonally. Most of the Congressmen
of both parties are reasonable and
intelligent and they know the
voting handicap a delegate has in
getting a measure passed. Wide
acquaintance and a few logical
arguments to the right person of
tentimes mean the difference be
tween passage or defeat of legis
lation vital to Alaska.”

CONSERVATION
NOTES
By Lew Hanks
Potato harvesting is in full
swing. Yields seem to be a little
below normal this year because of
the cool season. Help for harvest
ing seems to be more plentiful
than last year. Hay and silage
yields seem to be good. I hope
they are. We have a lot more cows
to feed this year than last. As we
get our crops out it’s a good time
to do a little planning on finishing
up the year’s operations and start
ing to get ready for next year.
The first thing is—don’t plow in
the fall. It might gain you some
time next spring but you will lose
a lot more topsoil by winter wind
than it’s worth. The next thing is
to lay some brush rows across
open fields for winter protection.
You might also be thinking about
/our next season’s clearing opera
tion. If you expect to apply for
conservation payments for next
year on clearing here is what you
must do—inform the Extension
service of your clearing plans as
soon as possible. The Soil Conser
vation Service will then inspect
the site to determine the follow
ing—if the proposed land to be
cleared is not too steep, wet or
shallow to make farm land and if
the new clearing will create an
additional wind erosion hazard.
For instance: you cannot be paid
for clearing a windbreak. If the
land is satisfactory it will be
given prior approval and the
farmer notified. Then after clear
ing the site will again be inspect
ed to see if a good job was done.
By a good job we mean a clean
stump row with no excessive top
soil removal If the job is satisfact
ory final approval will be made
by the Soil Conservation Service
and payment made through the
Extension Service. October is a
good month for slashing trees and
getting out logs. Better get to
work.
