Summerfield Asks Congress to Raise
 Postal Rates Pay
Would Raise Letter Rate to 4 Cents
 Air Mail to '

WASHINGTON, R-Postmaster General Summerfield has asked Congress to raise the price of mailing a letter from to 4 cents ito meet increased costs; to pro- vide facilities for growing mail volume; to improve service"
 For the same reasons, Summer field Monday called for a boost in domestic air mail and second and third class mail rates.
 In all, the rate increases would yield more than 332 million dol lars a year. Of this, the 1-cent increase in the cost of a letter stamp would account for 237 bil- lions.
 Summerfield coupled his bid for higher rates with a proposal to raise the pay of about 500,000 letter carriers, clerks and other postal workers by 5 percent. At the same time, he suggested reiiggering of salary schedules which Summerfield said now re- suit in "injustices" and prevent the Post Office Department from paying employees what they are worth"
 The postmaster general esti- mated the bill for these salary in- creases and adjustments would come to 129 million dollars year. Counting fringe benefits, this would amount to at least ITO mil lions year, the Post Office De- partment said.
 Summerfield's proposals also call for these increases in other classes of mail rates:
 Domestic air mail-an increase from to cents on the first ounce to bring in another 14 mil lions a year.
 Second class mostly newspa- pers and magazines)-an increase of IS percent a year for two suc- cessive years for an estimated yield of another 814 million dol lars annually.
 Third class (advertising matter, circulars and small merchandise packages)-a increase of about 28 percent for an estimated gain | of about 73 million dollars a year.

 PART II SPECIFIC PROBLEMS IN EACH SECTION OF CONSTITUTION
 Preamble

A preamble is not a required feature of state constitution, but is very commonly included. The following is an example of ire quently used one:
 we, the people of Alaska, with profound reverence for Almighty God and with appre- citation for the freedom which we enjoy, do ordain and estab- fish this Constitution in order to provide a better government for ourselves and for posterity.

 For the State of Alaska
executive officers?

6. Should the constitution in clude budgetary powers and du- ties of governor?
 7. Should maximum or mini mum salaries be stated in the constitution or should this be left up to the legislative branch to decide upon later?
 Judicial Branch
 l. Method of selection of judges -by partisan or partisan election, by appointment by the governor or by the legislature, or by a judicial council?
 2. Tenure, term of office, salary, qualifications of court officials?
 3. Besides the traditional state court system should the constitu- ton contain provision for judi cial council, such as the Model State Constitution recommends?
 4. Jurisdiction of each court in the state system?
 Revenue Idxd11On Public Indebtedness. Corporations
 l. Since Alaska must assume much more financial responsibil- ity upon statehood, the all-impor- tant question is where is the mon ey to come from? As the major share of a states income is de- rived from taxation, what are to be the types of taxes allowed income. sales, property, and/or any others? Also, should there be a constitutional limit as to the amount or percentage of property or income that can be taxed?
 2. Should there be a general or specific provision concerning rev. enue and taxation?
 3. Should the amount of public indebtedness be limited in the constitution or left up to the leg islature?
 4. What provision should be made as to the charters given to ' corporations (other than munici- paD?
 State Educational System
 T. Should the educational sys- tenn (from nursery schools to high CT institutional have specific pro- visions in the constitution ol rShould the deails be left to the creation of the legislature? 2. Should provision be included concerning the source of revenue to maintain the education system to insure that said system will bt stable and adequate to the need! of the growing state?
 3. Just what provisions should be included as to the structure and organization of the public school system?
 4. Should the present dual sys. tenn of schools-federal and terri torial-be abolished at once, ol slowly integrated as present plans envisage?
 Other State Institutions | All federal statehood bills in- clude some land settlement to help establish and maintain such state institutions as penitentiar- | ieS, insane aSylums, deaf, dumb, and blind, Pioneers Home. re- formatory and correctional homes. The chief problem here is to de- eide how many of these types of institutions the new state wishes to set up and which ones can be properly supported financially Should other types be included, such as orphanages, crippled chil- dren's homes, public health insti- tutions, etc?
 Local Government Units l. How should Alaska be sub- divided to provide for local gov ernment? Should provision be made for the traditional county form or should some other form, cy1oh oc an all ,,,rrpoco Iic+vin+ L1a

of local government areas be de- fined in the constitution or left up 10 the legislature?
 State Capital
 l. Where is 1t to be located? In. Juneau to save the expense of moving, or to some more central and accessible location such as Palmer, Anchorage, Seward or elsewhere?
 2 Who is to decide the location the entire electorate, the legis- lature, or the constitutional con- vention delegates?
 Provisions for
 Constitutional Amendment
 l. Should the amendment proc ess be easy or difficult?
 2. Which of the three common methods should be included, or should all three be allowed? Compact with inc United States
 Schedule of transfer to the new state government
 The federal statehood bill in- cludes in 1t the necessary require ments to be placed on the new state before the transfer from territory to state can be accom- plished. These requirements are generally always included in the state constitution.
 Miscellaneous Provisions
 These usually include use of harbor and water rights and state boundaries, plus other minor matters like the state seal, state militia. In view of AlaSka'S long sea coast, tremendous rivers and innumerable harbors, certain ly some provision affecting these would be desirable in the' S.ate constitution.

Bill of Rights

Bill of Rights
 1. Why is it necessary for a state constitution to include bill of rights if the federal constitu- ton guarantees our civil and criminal rights? The answer is the need of the people to protect their rights from the state govern ment itself.
 2. How complete and compre- hensive should this Bill of Rights be? Besides the rights accorded its citizens, most state cOnstitu- tions also include in this article various restrictions upon the state government; for example, no ex post facto laws are to be made, fair use of the right of eminent domain, no bills of attainder.
 3. Should economic and social rights be included or should we profit from Puerto Rico's expert ence and leave them out, since the federal government refused to ac- cept those provisions in Puerto Rico's recent constitution?
 Suffrage and Elections I. What are to be the voting qualifications? At what age--18, ! 19, 20, or the usual 21? What res idence requirements at both state and local levels?
 2. How are elections to be con- ducted?
 3. Is registration to be required?
 4. Here is the most difficult and controversial problem-How are electoral districts to be drawn? Should we keep the present four divisional system or should we make a break to overcome some of the long-standing jealousies and rivalries?
 5. Should initiative, referendum and recall be included as more di- rect control by the people over the three government branches? Legislative Branch I. Are legislators to be chosen by simple majority or should some form of proportional representa- tion be devised?
 2. Should the legislature be uni cameral or bicameral? 3. What of the problems as to the structure, organization and powers of the legislative branch? Refer here to the above-noted general considerations in Part IO
 i. Should provision be made in the constitution for a legislative council and a legislative reference bureau?
 Executive Branch l. Which branch should be more powerful-legislative or execu- tive?
 2. What departments or offices
