STATEHOOD, SUBJECT
OF SENATOR'S TALK
TO SOROPTiMISTS
Senator Howard Lyng, dean of
the 20th Session of the Territorial
Legislature, addressed the Soropti
mists at their meeting on the Bar
anof Terrace last Friday noon, with
“Statehood” his subject.
At the meeting, presided over by
Dr. Grace Field, Soroptimist presi
dent, Senator Lyng was introduced
by program chairman Bernice Mor
gan.
Lyng. a member of the Statehood
Committee’s executive committee, a
native son of Alaska and Demo
cratic National Committeeman fcr
the Territory, is a senior member
of the Senate representing the Sec
ond Division.
As a “native son and a member
of the Territory’s Statehood Com
mittee,” the Senator from Nome
said that he was resentful of the
fact that we in Alaska “pay taxes,
volunteer for war service, yet are
denied the privilege of voting for
president and do not have proper
representation in Congress.”
“As a native son, I desire some
of these privileges and I believe that
they will come in my time,” Senator
Lyng said.
Out With Bureaus
“The time should come for us to
get out from under the domination
of so many bureaus — particularly
the Department of tne Interior
which dominates Alaska and its pol
itics,” he continued.
The Senator called attention to
the fact that only 1 per cent of our
vast area belongs to Alaska and
mentioned the still undeveloped oil
and coal reserves in the Territory—
the result of conservation policies
and bureau control that goes back
as far as 1908
One of the 65 Alaskans who were
present at the statehood hearings
before the Senate Interior and In
sular Affairs Committee last spring
—many of whom flew to Washing
ton by chartered plane—Lyng said
that the Senate committee mem
bers were impressed by the Alas
kans’ testimony and “except for cne
or two, I believe that all of the
members of the Senate were for
statehood at the end of the hear
ing.”
New Statehood Bill
"The original statehood bill, HR
331, was definitely a Department
of the Interior bill and gave very
little land to the new state. The
new bill, as rewritten, gives certain
selections to the state and, I believe,
stands as one of the finest bills ever
written: Few territories have entered
the community of states with such
an advantageous bill,” he said.
At the recent statehood meeting
in Anchorage, Senator Lyng said
that the primary election for the
selection of delegates had been re
stored to the bill and w hen' the
enabling act is passed by the Con
gress, Alaskans will be able to go
to the polls and select candidates
to a ' constitutional assembly under
the blanket primary
Senator Lyng ended his talk on
Statehood by suggesting that the
Soroptimists as a group pass a reso
lution in favor of statehood.
As a postscript to his talk Friday
noon, the Senator from Nome add
ed a short declaration on the sub
ject of organization politics and the
two party system.
Speaks As Democrat
‘I speak as a Democrat, a party
Democrat and as head of my party
in Alaska,” he said.
“A first requirement of organiza
tion politics is loyalty to the party.
There must be a spirit of unity and
I spirit of confidence in the party,”
! said Senator Lyng.
It was lack of loyalty and party
unity that caused the Democratic
party to fail in the last election, ac
cording to Mi-. Lyng.
"As a result of the last general
election, there will be six hold-over
Republicans in the next Senate. And
I predict that there will be at least
three Republicans elected in 1952—
this will give Republicans contro’
of the Senate two years from now,”
he said.
Explaining that the United States
is not a democracy, but a republic,
that a democracy is another form
of totalitarian government, that
leads to subjugation of the people,
Senator Lyng warned against en
croaching totalitarianism.
"We have seen too many of our
freedoms taken over by the execu
tive branch of government and its
hundreds of bureaus,” he concluded.
TWO DAYS LEFT TO
PAY CITY SALES TAX
There are but two days to go on
payment of city sales taxes, City
Clerk C. L. Popejoy reminded the
publii today. Payments have been
lagging, he reported. After 4:30
Wednesday penalties will go into
effect.
About half of the usual number
of auto licenses have been issued
by the City Clerk’s office, Popejoy
revealed. Only about 700 have been
issued to date.
Notices for the second half of
the year 1950 school taxes will be
going out soon, Popejoy said.

on a three weeks’ trip to the states.
