As late as January, 1899. Sena-

another bill providing for a con-

a national referendum before Con-

in the event OF an Invasion of
North America.
Several bills have been before
the Representatives of the people
in Congress To repose the right
to declare war In the hands OF
the people.
But Congress has ignored these

opposite direction, bestowing more

 Brief Excerpts
 The following brief excerpts are taken from MT. Dimond's oral statement to the Committee:
 Tn drafting the act for creation of the Alaska Territorial Legislature, it was found convent ent to use these four judicial di- visions as election districts, and so it was provided in the law that each of the judicial divisions should have equal representation in the I,eeislature and that four members of the House and two members .f the Senate should be elected to the Legislature from each of the four divisions. So each division, lr- respective of population, has iden- tically the same representation ln the Alaska Legislature, namely, two Senators and four Representatives. No provision was made in the law with respect to reapportlonmeng which might be found desirable from changes in population. Even at that time, there was some dis parity among the divisions as to population, but that disparity was not sufficiently great to excite any substantial adverse comment, and the citizens of Alaska were so de- sirous of having any kind of Legis- lature that they did not argue much about the way in which the members of the Legislature should

hen be chosen.

Authorized Selections
 "The bill before us pro- poses that one member of the House of Representatives and one member of the Senate shall be elected from each judicial division for each 4,O00 of the population Of that division. Since Alaska has a few hundred more than 72,000 in people, according to the 1940 cen- sus, the use of 4,00o as unit for the election of member of the Senate and a member of the House of Representatives is highly con- venient. This unit also operates best to prevent any injustice to the citizens of any division. For ex- ample, that unit will give to the First Division a membership of six in each house of the Legislature with surplus fraction of l,24l. The Second Division will have three members in each house of the Leg islature with a minus fraction in votes of 123. The Third Division will have a membership of five in each house of the Legislature with minus fraction in votes of 688 The Fourth Division will have four members in each house of the Leg islature with a surplus fraction ot 88 votes.
 Geographical Districts
 There is one other pro- vision of the bill which I deem of substantial importance and that is the provision which authorizes the Legislature of Alaska to estab- fish geographical legislative dis tricts within the several judicial di- visions from which members of the Senate and the House of Rep resentatives allocated as provided in the bill to such several judicial divisions may be elected, to pre- scribe the boundaries of such dis tricts and to make necessary pro- visions with respect to the election of members of the Legislature from such districts.
 Purpose of Provision
 "The purpose of this provision, as will be apparent, is to enable the Legislature to make adequate provisions for representation in the Legislature of all sections of the Territory. At the present time, there is tendency to have the member ship of the Legislature chosen largely from a few of the cities ot Alaska. For example, in the 194l Legislature all of the First Divis- ion members of the Legislature ex-
