THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE
The Constitution

It's been signed, sealed ana IS herewith delivered to you as sup plement of today's Sentinel with the compliments of the Alaska statehood committee which arrang- ed with the Fairbanks News-Miner to do the printing. Thanks to the air lines, which are pretty well re presented in today's paper, the sup plement, produced in Fairbanks on Monday, was delivered to The Sen tinel office Wednesday noon, con s.ueraDly faster than the 75 days it took the 55 delegates to write the document.
 Fifty-four delegates signed the instrument at appropriate ceremon- ies it the University of Alaska last Sunday. One did not sign. He is R.. E. Robertson of Juneau, delegate at-large from the First Division, who resigned from the convention last Friday night with the state ment that the constitution as draft ed violated three vital principles of our Republican from of govern ment." He cited them as the provis- ions dealing with legislative ap- portionment, the initiative and re- ferendum and the ordinance article banning fish traps. Robertson, a well known constitutional lawyer in Alaska for 40 years, declared the legislative apportiOnment provision is a violation of the twO-houSe leg islative system and is in effect n unicameral (one-house) system in regards to vetoes by the Governor and it's creation of lgisbltive dis tricts" He labeled the initiative and referendum article a violation of the representative form of gov ernment and declared the fish trap ordinance violates the convention first policy resolution and is a mat ter of legislation and should not be included in a basic constitution.
 Elsewhere, in the supplement, you'll note where some political science researchers label the docu- ment "one of the finest" So, read it and draw your own conclusions. It may be up for a vote at the pri- mary election April "A if they can get it on the ballot in time. Clerk of Court J. w. Leivers of this Div ision has set a deadline of Monday to get the proposition in and allow him time to get the ballots printed.

A Salute to Ellis Air

Congratulations to Senator Bob Ellis and his Ellis Air Lines. Twenty years ago he was buzzin' around here in an old bi-plane, hustling passengers and longing for a sack of mail. This week Ellis Air Lines carried it's 400,000th passen- ger in one of it's sleek, new modern planes. An excellent example of what intestinal fortitude and abil- ity can do. Another 20 years and doubtless wherever you're going Ellis will be going your way with the latest atomic-driven planes, or whatever they are flying in those days.
 Wrangell's best to Bob Ellis, his capable pilots and crews and the competent staff which serves this community so well.
