Alaska Constitution
BY Ben Hitchcock

by Ben HITCHCOCK
~.c~c~~e~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~e~e~~~~~~
Should Alaska adopt a one
house, or "unicamerap legis1a-
ture? This important question
may come before the Constitu-
9ional Convention in Fairbanks
next November.
Although Nebraska is the only
one of the United States using
the single-chamber system, uni
cameral legislatures exist In all
but two Canadian provinces, in
Norway, in all Swiss cantonS,
and almost all Central Ameri-
can countries. Nose u. S. cities,
some larger in population than
several states, have single-cham-
Der councils. Practically all coun-
ellis. conventions, and other DELHI
erative groups organized in mod
ern times meet as single bodies.
Nebraskans merged their SEN
ate and house of representatives
into single body in 1887, and
are satisfied with it. They claim
it has abolished the double ex-
pense Of two houses; has sim
plified procedure so that press
and public can more easily watch
and understand what is being
legislators to pass the buck"
from one house to the other.
They also report that law-mak-
ing takes less time.
With these advantages, why
has the unicameral legislature
not been widely adopted in the
United States, where the class

Resident Hunters
Spend $l.M per pound
For Big Game

More than $4,000 residents AL
askan hunters last year devoted
an average of 1876 days to hunt
ing and fishing and spent an
average Of $329.59 doing 50.
Total take of these hunters
was approximately 1O1 pounds
Of big game, six pounds Of small
game, 4.3 pounds of waterfowl
and seven pounds of fish. The
average cost for these bags was
$1.O4 pound for big game, $8.79
small game, $500 waterfowl,
and $2O.25 for fish.
Persons attending the Sixth
Alaskan Science Conference at
the University Of Alaska learned
these figures in a paper titled
'The Life History and Economics
of the Resident Alaskan Hunter"
DR.. John Il. Buckley, head of the
Alaska Cooperative Wildlife Re-
search Unit on campus, present
ed the paper. He obtained his in
formation from replies to more
than 1000 questionnaires sent to
hunters.
Average age for the male hunt
ers is 339 years and 35.5 years
for women. Male hunters out
number women hunters almost
six to one. The average hunter
buys 0.24 shotguns, and OBS riff
les a year, which cost, respec-
lively, an average of $76.O1 and
$124.67. The average hunters
cameras and films cost him $25.07
a year compared to $4,000 for
his rifles, shotguns, ammunition
and fishing tackle.
The population of resident
hunters has increased 100 per-
cent in the five years interval
from 1949 to 1854" DR.. Buckley
said. Thus the average rate of
increase has been about Is per-
cent per year"

Natural Parks:
Palmer has a park to look at.
Alaska has many natural
parks which should be selected
and spared as we clear land of
virgin timber.
1t was recognized and recon-
mended that timber along the
North and East boundaries Of
farms sohuld be preserved for
wind breaks and for supply tim
Der for the farm home. Especially
the fine stands of birch often
found on small hills or rises in
the virgin stand. Our ripe tim
Der in such areas should be cut
and removed, allowing the
younger trees greater limb
spread and stronger trunk and
root development. A fine grove
Of birch or cottonwood lends
greatly to a farm community,
and greatly enhances the value
Of farm.
For Our Planning Board
Natural barriers terrain, riv-
ers and railroads or highways
built or planned before our time
naturally influence the course of
human events. The advise and
natural trend Of our young plan
ners must crop out and find ex-
preston in City Planning, zoning
regulations, and ordinances and
laws. A city must grow. People
coming later must be protected
from viscious INSCRIPTIONS cit
liens who sell them short, "any-
thing for a sale" type.
Why not call a meeting of pro-
perty owners for full discussion
of the zoning before final action.
IF city has services to offer
the outlying areas, no doubt
they will petition the city for an
nexation.
Just how old must a citizen be
before he becomes exempt from
property taxes? Alaskans gener-
ally are willing to pay property
taxes, but as the aged citizen
has a few dollars laid aside to
insure security during his declin-

ScheeIe Report to Reveal
Entire Story on Vaccine

Parents may have an official
answer by this week end on
whether or not they should have
their children inoculated with
anti-polio vaccine.
1t could be found in q report
being prepared by the United
States Public Health Service.
The report, according to Surgeon
General Leonard Scheele. will
explain the confusions. contra
dictions and delays which have
beset the Salk vaccine program
DR.. Scheele said the full re-
port will bring the history Of the
Public Health Services role IN
the vaccine UP to date, and will
include explanations of the
period of licensing the vaccine
and the reasons behind the de-
cision by experts to modify the
making and testing vaccine,
Controls Debate Goes On
Meanwhile the debate between
the Administration and Demo-
cratic congressman over volun-
tary versus public control of the
distribution Of the vaccine goes
on.
At his press conference yes
terday, President Eisenhower
counseled patience and expressed
optimism and predicted that
within so days all first and
second grade children will have
been vaccinated.
But his assertion that the vol
untary program is working ran
into opposition on Capitol Hill.
Senator Morse, Democrat, Of
Oregon, called the Presidents
defense Of the program an at
tempt to sustain the incompe-
tency of Health. Education and
Welfare Secretary Oveta Culp

Senator Douglas, Democrat. Of
Illinois, charged that Republicans
on the Labor Committee had alb
sented themselves from four
meetings, making it impossible
to take up standby vaccine con-
trols.

Evening star., 1955-06-01

Kfiowland reported after Q White
House conference today that "the
general consensus" was that the
voluntary method Of handling
the vaccine program was 'better
than any mandatory control
legislation
He and House Minority Leader
Martin said Secretary Hobby and
DR.. Scheele Joined President
Eisenhower in s discussion of the
program with Republican con-
gressional leaders at the White
House this morning.
They said there was a general
review" of what has been and
Is being done in the program.
Asserting that the feeling is
that voluntary cooperation in
distribution of the Salk vaccine
will work out more satisfactorily
than any mandatory control leg
iSlation, Senator Knowland said
mandatory controls would not
expedite the incubation of chill
dren and might retard it,"
Supervision Seen Adequate
Mr.. Martin was asked If he had
not previously favored control
legislation.
He said he never had come out
for controls, but had said he be-
lieved the Government had a
duty to supervise the vaccine
program in some way. Now, Mr..
Martin added, II think it is get
ting a lot of supervision"
Further Endorsement of vol
untary controls came from the
American Drug Manufacturers
Association.
Karl Bambach. executive vice
president Of the association,
made public a letter to Mr.,
Eisenhower. in which he ex-
pressed the groups confidence
that the voluntary ALLEGATION
program will provide "the most
rapid and equitable distribution"
of the vaccine.
The drug manufacturers also
had praised Mrs. Hobby, whose
handling of distribution has
been severely criticized in other
quarters.
