Referendums

Aside from the campaign OratOry. of which we'll hear much in the next six weeks. there will be a couple Of important referendum measures on the ballot in October. both of whi h will require further nction of Congress.
 One pertains To bonding the Ter ritory for twelve and a half mil lion and on the ballot it will read as follows:
 Do you approve of the Territory issuing it's general obligation bonds up to but not exceeding $12.500- GOO for the sole use of constructing, enlarging, altering. repairing, e. quipping and installing public school buildings and facilities2"
 This measure requires D per cent favorable vote to carry and then must go to Congress for ap- proval of the Territory to issue the bonds.
 The other refers to the fisheries and is simply a request to Congress to turn the fisheries over to the Territory. It reads:
 Should complete control and op- eration of the Territorial fisheries be turned over to the Territory of Alaska by Congress?"
 Albert Day. Director of the U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service. in Jun eau recently from Washington, wus quoted as opposing the transfer un- til Alaska becomes a state. indicaf- ing that the issue probably will hinge on what action Congress may take on statehood. regardless of how the voters of Alasln declare themselves on the referendum come October l.
