tional provisions of the Constitu- ton. the voting age, the Judiciary and other phases.
 On the subject of boroughs and municipal government, M ayor Johnson mentioned a criticism that there would be an overlap ping of taxation in the two. Wood stated the functions of the TWO were so divergent, there was no fear of that. He said the object of establishing boroughs, (includins organized and unorganized) was to provide every inch of Alaska with local government.
 The Educational provisions ot the Constitution came in for some dis- cussion. Wood stated, in answer to a question by Iver Schott, that the State government controlled the school system. He said there would be no more Independent School Districts as now exist, but Boroughs would have to see that education is provided in outlying districts as we'll. There would be nc disruption, he said, in the transi- ton from the present system, to State and Borough control.
 Wood stated that high officials in government, throughout the na- tion, newspapers, and experts in the field of government, lauded the Constitution in it's present form. He asked that all those eli gible turn out to vote, and to vote "Yes" for ratification, for the Tennessee plan and abolition of fish traps.

he can trust and control. An apt analogy is found In the business world where stockholders do not elect all the company officials.
 The following are important limitations on the governor, found in other articles of the Constitu- ton.
 1. The governor can only appoint and remove the heads of depart ments, and even these are subject to confirmation by a majority of both houses of the legislature. All other department officials will be selected on a merit system.
 2 The legislature has effective control over the executive depart ments through the use of non-po- litical auditor who post-audits the books of each department.
 3. The governor can only serve two successive terms, an eight year maximum.
 f. The governor can be impeach- ed by the legislature, or recalled by the people
 5. The legislature has power to diSapprove executive orders con corning the administration of the various departments of the state.
 6. The legislature has strong powers of it's own It is not the emascUlated body that the present territorial legislature represents. Transitional Article
 The delegates held firmly to their belief that the Constitution should contain basic fundamental law Only-to indicate broad, but elastic principles of government Therefore, to insure smoother transition from territorial to state government, Article XIV provides a needed schedule of transition measures.
 All organizations, such as sever al education, wildlife, and sport mems groups, who feel that the Constitution did not satisfy theiI needs by more specific inclusions should most emphatically make their problems and desires knowr to that first legislature.

Ratify Alaska's Constitution
By Donald R. Moberg

Editors Note: This is the sec ond part of series of articles by Dr. Donald R. Moberg, head of the University of Alaska's Department Of History and Political Science, urging Alaskans to ratify the pro- posed constitution by an over whelming majority Here he ana fyzes specific articles of the Con- stitution. It is printed in part.) Part H-Specific Provisions of the Constitution Considered and Con- seipsi0n.
 Demonstrating an amazing de- gree of sincerity and earnestness, coupled with real hard work, the fifty-five delegates created an able constitution of fifteen articles, bas- ed on the necessary spirit of com promise. In fact, several articles are particularly outstanding. Among these are the Declaration Of Right, the legislative apportion- anent article, the natural resources, and finance and taxation articles.
 To prove practically the worth .9f this Constitution it is quite sig nificant to note that no organized group in the territory, and per haps more importantly, no organ lzed group of Outside vested in- serests" have made any concerted drive to defeat the ratification of this Constitution.
 Executive Article
 However, many individual Alas kans and several organizations are apprehensive about several sec Eions of the Constitution, Almost all of the criticism of the Consti- tuition is centered around the ex- eeutive branch. Fears that the del egates created too strong an execu- tive, investing too much power and control in the hands of the governor. It is feared that he may Become a little dictator. They are disturbed that Qnly two officials in She executive branch are elective the governor and the secretary of sstate-with all other department heads being appointed by the gov ernor.
 Keeping firmly in mind the six general considerations mentioned previously, the rebuttal can show that these criticisms have not carefully balanced other articles of the Constitution with this one.
 As head of the state government, zhe governor is responsible to the people for the execution of the laws of the state. To faithfully full fill his duties in our modern com plex government he should be al lowed to choose his chief staff of ficers-people loyal to him, ones

6 trol Destiny
 "vote" Says Wood

Barrie Wood, in speech before a group at the Elks Club, Tuesday night, told his audience: We need to control our own destiny. There is no substitute for a vote. We have been going to Washington for many years, ard will continue to go through miles of red tape there until Statehood is achieved. How much better it would be to go to Juneau, to our own seat ot government"
 Wood, at the conclusion of his talk, touched on the Tennessee plan, and advocated it as means of securing desirable publicity, and as showing where Alaska stands on the Statehood question. Under this plan, two United States Senators and one Representative would be elected immediately to represent Alaska in. Washington, D. c. Both Wood and Hinckel strongly advocated their immedi- ate ratification, by voting Yes" for the Tennessee plan. Wood stat ed: There would be no question, then, as to whom they represent. |" Hinckel remarked: Elected repre- sentatives get more consideration, they will listen to them" He based his belief, he said, on his trips to the U S. Capitol, as Mayor of Ko- dak.
 Wood, who was delegate to the Constitutional Convention, gave a short resume of the historic meet ing, and outlined the various steps which led to the final drafting.
 Following Woods talk, the arti- cles of the Constitution were talk en up one by one. The Bill of Rights were first discussed. Wood
 
 stating they were based on the U. s. Constitution, which he thought was a good model to follow.
 The Constitution provided for a strong Executive, according to Wood. This was necessary to put government on a business basis. In answer to question, Wood said is was provided that the Governor and Secretary of State were the only two elective officers, but, he said, they were elected jointly, so there was no clash of policy be- tween the two, as would occur as members of two parties. He also stated the Governor chose the vari- ous boards, and approved the men chosen to head them.
 The various articles of the Con- stitution were taken up in turn, such as legislative apportionment, sessions of the legislature, natural resources clause, taxation, local and borough government, educa 2aaeee5saa8SpeoeecssepeeSH

what will be the value of this step? The idea behind the plan is that it will be a most dramatic special plea to end Alaska's colonial stat us by hurrying up statehood chances. It is not a revolutionary or untried step. At least seven ter ritories have successfully used it in the past.
 Certainly, the American public and the American Congress would have their attention focused on the Alaskan issue. The plan could have no harmful effect on Alaska. Instead, it would greatly aid in better judging the statehood cause of both Alaska and Hawaii on the merits alone, and not on internal political considerations within the American Congress as it now is.
