vass of the ratification vote, if it is found to be favorable, the Governor would certify the re suits to the President. The Pres ident, after a study of the arti- cles of the proposed state con stitution to determine whether they met the requirements laid down by the Federal Constitu- ton and by Congress Alaska statehood act, would so certify to the Governor. Within 30 days after such notification the Gov ernor would issue a proclama- ton calling for an election of state officers and a Representa- tive and two Senators to serve in the national Congress.

CONSTITUTION ALSO SUBMITTED TO VOTE

The enabling act would alS provide that the people of tb| territory must approve the prd posed state constitution at al election held after the conved tion. If they do not approve, tb| statehood process stops couI pletely.
 Tn any event, full control ova whether the territory becomes state remains firmly in the hand of the people of Alaska unt| after the election on ratifieatio| of the state constitution. At bes| that is an event some years il the future. Fears that AlasH might be rushed into statehod soon after the October refereI dunn, and before the peopl know as much about it as thd would like to, are .groundlea It couldn't possibly happen.
 It follows from the above thj arguments about particular pr| visions of, or omissions iron the Bartlett or McCarran stat 4 hood bills are beside the poll at this time. Both bills have mol lapsed, with the adjournment Congress, before the Octob| referendum. It is also idle speculate now on what the Ala ka state constitution might col tain, or to base an attitude 4 ward statehood upon that. The| are matters for the future, al over them Alaskans will ha1 control.
 What is at issue in the Octob3 referendum is the general deS| ability of statehood and the ge| eral willingness of Alaskans assume the responsibilities self-government.
Kodiak mirror., 1946-09-07

what statehood legislation will be before the 80th Con g S S, there is every likelihood that a measure closely resembling in it's essentials the Bartlett-McCarran bill will be introduced. This bill sets forth the procedure which would be followed in admitting Alaska as a state.
 First, of course, the bill would have to be passed by both houses of Congress and signed by the President. Within 30 days after its approval the Governor of Alaska would issue a proclama- ton ordering an election of delegates to constitutional convention. Candidates would be given a period for filing; pri-

maries and then a general cleo tion would be held. The bill pro- vides that the primaries could not be held earlier than two months after the Governors proclamation or the general election earlier than five months after the proclamation. The con vention would convene on the first Tuesday following the 90th day after the general election.
 The session to draft constitu- ton then would continue for not to exceed 75 days. Another election, this time for ratifica- ton of the proposed constitution, would be held 75 to 100 days after adjournment. After can

and unfit to assume the respon- abilities of government.
 The argument is not new even in Alaska. It was used to oppose the granting of an elective Dele gate to Congress. President Nc Kinley in 1899 thought Alaska's area too vast and population too scattered and transitory to make an elective legislative body wise. In an address at the Alas ka-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in Seattle ten years later, President Taft declared himself opposed to a bill which had been drawn by the Alaska Delegate provid- ing for legislative assembly and home rule. These he felt should not be considered seri- ously until the territory's popu- lation had increased in size and stability"
 The 1940 Census recorded an
Kodiak mirror., 1946-09-07

pointments. The question whicn every Alaskan should ask him self before going to the polls Tn October is not, "Is Alaska ready for statehood now?" but rather, Am I in favor of statehood in principle, and if so, might Alas ka be ready for statehood With in the foreseeable future?"
 Those who are best in posi- ton to judge the temper of the national government are agreed that a negative vote in October, or anything less than decisive approval, will bury all hopes of statehood for many years to come. It also seems clear that such result, signifying Alas ka's unwillingness to assume the responsibilities of adult state hood after so many years of ter ritorial tutelage, would create Tn Congress and throughout the na- tion distinctly unsynpathetic attitude toward Alaska's needs and problems, whatever they may be in the future
Kodiak mirror., 1946-09-07

It is seen that Alaska already has belonged to the United States longer than any state at the time of it's admission, with the exception of Montana, the Dakotas. Wyoming and Okla homa. These were all formed of territory contained in the Louisi- ana Purchase. and at the time of annexation were so remote from the national life of that era that settlement, or even exploration, did not reach them until many years later. Having served more than three-quarters of century under the American flag, Alas ka would seem to be entitled at least morally entitled = to statehood.

HAWAII VOTED AND IS STILL WAITING

It should be noted in this re- gard that in 1940 the people of Hawaii voted overwhelmingly in favor of statehood in an cleo ton identical with that which Alaska will hold in October. Yet Congress has not acted, six years later, even to start Hawaii on the road to statehood. The Territorial Legislature since has renewed Hawaii's plea. The Ha- waiian Delegate has worked un- ceasingly for statehood. The Secretary of the Interior, whose department has Jurisdiction over the territories, has issued a state ment endorsing statehood for Hawaii. A Gallup Poll taken in the states indicates that two thirds of the people are in favor of extending statehood to Ha- waii. Finally, subcommittee of the Committee on Territories has visited the Islands, made a thorough study of the matter and recommended in the strong est language
 that the Committee on Terri
 tories give immediate consid-
 eration to legislation to admit
 Hawaii to statehood.
 And yet Congress has not acted.
 Arizona and New Mexico, both admitted in 1912, are the only states which have joined the Union in the past 50 years. The people of both pressed their appeal for admission energeti- cally over long term of years.
 Alaska, even after 1t votes on statehood and even though the vote should be overwhelmingly in favor, must be prepared to suffer similar delays and disap-
Kodiak mirror., 1946-09-07
UNAVOIDABLE VOTE
 WILL INJURE ALASKA

So the second fact which needs to be emphasized is that a voie against statehood in the October referendum will kill all hopes for statehood for marry years to come and react against Alaska's interests in other ways as well.
 To most residents of the states it is inconceivable that Alaskans should not be in favor of statehood. Every state, with out single exception, has had a happy experience in advanc- ing from territorial to statehood status. Every state has profited, not only through satisfaction of the natural craving of the peo- pie for self-government but also because of the material benefits which have flowed to the states as a result. In specific terms these benefits have been the en- ticement of populat a t i-o n and wealth, the development of na- tural resources and the creation of more highly organized so- ciety with its concomitants ot improved educational facilities more and better highways and all the blessings associated with an advanced stage of civiliza- ton. No one has ever heard of the area which regretted the step to statehood, or yearned for return to territorial status. A third fact which needs to be emphasized is that vote for statehood in the October refer endum does not commit Alaska unalterablY 10 statehood or be- gin a process in that direction which inc people of Alaska will not have abundant opportunity to stop later should they so de- sire.
 The statehood enabling act, as

ONLY FIRST STEP TOWARD EQUALITY

To sum up, by a favorab vote in October, Alaska woul place one foot firmly on the fir rung of the ladder leading t ward eventual statehood. Ther after it is for Alaska to make l choice whether to remain on u first step, whether to step bac off the ladder e n ir e ly, whether to climb toward equs ity among the sisterhood states.
Kodiak mirror., 1946-09-07
STATEHOOD IS NOT
 oNE-DAY ACHIEVEMENT

Again a period would be al lowed for filing and for primary and general elections. The final election would be held from two to six months after the election proclamation After the custom ary canvass, the G owe ern T would certify the election re- suits to the President. There upon the President would issue a proclamation admitting Alaska to the Union. Then, and not un- til then, would Alaska become state.
 Through some such process have passed most of the states. The complicated procedure is recited here to emphasize the fact that the process is a long one. Stat ood cannot be achieved in day, or even in a year. A study of the provisions of the Bartlett-McCarran bill in dicates that the mere mechanics of statehood would consume more than 15 months and pos sibly as long as three years. That is, the mechanics would consume that length of time after the passage of enabling legislation by Congress.
 Alaska's Territorial Legisla- ture has provided that the peo- pie of Alaska will record their preference for or against state hood at the general election to be held in the territory in Oc tober of this year.
 I It needs to be emphasized thai a vote in favor of statehood ir the October referendum does not mean Alaska would forth with become state.
 Far from it. Congress would still have to pass an enabling act and the people of Alaska would still have to go through the long procedure outlined above. There is no assurance how soon Congress would, or in deed whether it ever would, act favorably in carrying out the mandate of the people of Alaska

THE PROCEDURE FOR BECOMING A STATE

TWO BILLS to provide statehood for Alaska have been IT introduced in Congress within the past year. Delegate Bartletts bill given the number HR 3898 in the 1s

ritory for a longer period of time than any other area in all the history of the republic.
 The legal status of Alaska among the non-contiguous pos sessions of the United States was considered settled by the Supreme Court in 1905. At that time, Hawaii and the possessions which had recently been ac- quired from Spain Puerto Rico and the Philippines were de clared to be "unincorporated" territories, appurtenant to, and dependencies of, the United States, but not a part of the United States. On the other hand, Alaska was placed by the court along with Oklahoma, Ari- zona and New Mexico in the class of incorporated territories. The reasoning was that the treaty with Russia concerning Alaska manifested an intention to admit the inhabitants of the ceded territory to the enjoyment of citizenship and expressed the purpose to incorporate the ter ritory into the United States. These decisions gave Alaska the proud title of territory in the place of the name of "district" with which she had been bur dened since 1884.
 Even if 1912 be considered as the date of organization of ter ritorial government in Alaska, the territory by 1946 has been an organized territory longer than any but four states in our history. The following tabula- ton ranks the states outside the area of the 13 original states ac- cording to years which elapsed between organization as terri tories and adnittance to state hood, with Alaska interpolated as of 1946.

COURT DEFINED STATUS OF ALASKA

Alaska was granted territori- al government in it's present form in 1912. It did, however, possess some of the aspects of a territory before that time. The first Organic Act was passed in 1884. If organization as a terri tory should be considered as dating from that time, Alaska by 1946 has already been a ter

THE POPULATION QUESTION

Alaska population of 72,524, Al signs indicate a substantial nI crease since that time. Estima'7 presented last spring at a hea1 ing before the U. s.

 It is a little difficult to 'e1 just how large the population ' any given state was at the tnn of admission, unless admlsslO' should have occurred in a ceD sus year.

HOW MUCH TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT
 IS ENOUGH?

LOW BONG apprenticeship should area serve before it is adjudged ready for statehood? This question is little difficult to answer though may draw some concl- sons the examples afforded by the history of the present states
 of the 13 original states of the Union as will be recalled extended include the land embraced
Kodiak mirror., 1946-09-07

in the present states of Wiscon- sin and Illinois. Out of this area, 12 more states were ultimately formed, in addition to the origi- nal 13. The other 23 states of the Union were formed from the rest of the continental area westward to the Pacific Ocean. One of these, Texas. which had been an independent republic, was admitted as state upon an neXation. Another, California, never had a territorial form of government, but was granted statehood from an unorganized status within two years after an nexation. The tabulation which follows shows all the states out side the area of the 13 original colonies ranked according to years elapsed between annexation and statehood, with Alaska in terpolated as of 1946.

Kodiak mirror., 1946-09-07

Other considerations being fa- vorable, it is obvious that Alaska fulfills the qualifications for statehood in the matter of time served in apprenticeship.
