Convention Wus Representative

The 55 men and women who created Alaska's constitution the most representative body ever assembled in the Ter rit0ry.
 For the first time, voices from such cities as Anchorage, Fair banks and Juneau were joined with equal strength by voices from such villages as UnalakIeet, KlaW0ck and Dillingham;.
 Many Communities
 Although 3O of the delegates are from Alaska's three maj0r cities, tho other 25 constitution framers represent 15 communi- ties.
 There is one delegate each from Cordova, Nenana, KOtze- bue, Dillingham;. Douglas, K1- diakt Palmer, Homer, Ketehi- kan, Petersburg, Unalakleet, Spenard, Seward, Wrangell and KlaWock. Valdez, Haines and Sit- ka are represented IVY two deIe- AaIGS eaCh ana Nome DN l9Nf.
 Mo Partisanship
 Throughout the entire cOnyen- ti0n delegates affiliated tham- selves with issues and ideas, not with sectionalism The most often repeated remark made by delegates was this; This body is free of partisanship. We are not here t0 represent Anchorage.

bers which operates throughout the year.
 Are on Ballot
 But, members of the house come up for reelection every two years, and senators every four years. Furthermore, after every census, an automatic reapportion- ment plan is provided using formula that is in the constitu- tion. A board IS provided to as- sist the governor in carrying out this reapportionment. Legislators have nothing to do with reap portlonment, and cannot block it to save their own seats as is now happening in many states.
 The judiciary system Is strong because manner of appointment leaves judges independent of po- litical branches of government, and the administrative head of the court system is the chief justice of the supreme court. The supreme court is given the power to make law for All courts, suh- iect only to change by law.
 Named by Council
 Judges are appointed by a ju- dicial council which consists of three laymen named by the gov- ernor. three attorneys appointed by the state bar. and a seventh and presiding member who is the chief justice of the supreme court.
 But, the people are given a powerful check on the Judicial system. The constitution specifics that three Xesasr.sF, Xesasr .s <, ,sstfs saftgr fsg~~-;s-4 ment. each superior anu Suprefiie court Judge goes on a nonpart- isan ballot and the people can

Fairbanks, Nome or any other place. We're here as Alaskans, writing k constitution for the good of the whole state"
 Official Journals
 The official journals of the convention show that that state mant, or something similar to it, was made at one time or another by more than half of the dele gates.
 With factionalism out of the picture, personalities moved to the forefront.
 Made Contributions
 All delegates made contribu- ti0ns in committee but some of them had little to say on the floor of plenary session, where aIl final decisions were made. W. W. Laws of Nome, retired raw enforcement officer, rose to hiS feet only once, and that was regarding the proper placement of a comma. HI R. VanderLeest of Juneau spoke for the first time on the 73rd convention day. Other silent delegates were Peter Reader pf Nome and Mrs E. A. Fischer of Anchorage.
 Many delegates expressed the feeling that they should take up precious time in plenary session only On issues about which they were specifically knowledgeable,
The Kenai Peninsula pioneer., 1956-02-27

Service of Chicago and Kim brough Owen, professor of gov- ernment for Louisiana State Uni- versity all agree that the Alaska Constitution is virtually what po- litical science authorities would consider to be "a model consti- tuition" ]"
 Only Fundamentals
 "The constitution is not based on regional or group interests. said Bebout. 'aIt includes only the fundamentals, and 1t sifts the best out of United States eXper- ience."
 The three consnltants were on hand during closing days of the convention to advise delegates. A total of more than IS exper- fenced consultants assisted dele gates during the 75 days of the convention.
 The three consultants agreed that an outstanding f feature of the constitution is the fact that 1t comes closer to carrying out the classic pattern of separation of powers" laid down by our found- ing fathers than any other state constitution. They voted Alaska first, New York second and New Jersey third, in this respect.
 Separation Achieved
 Separation of powers is achiev- ed in the Alaska constitution through three strong depart ments, with each department checking the others, and the peo. pie provided with cheeks on all three departments.
 The executive department X I strong because only the governor and the secretary of state are elective, and they run on the same ticket in the final elections. All other state department heads are appointive. Furthermore, the strong executive is given power and authorization to get things done"
 Strong Executive However. the strong executive will be strictly accountable to the people, for there can be no buck passing in this state govern ment. When things go wrong. the governor is responsible and peo- pie can take action on a simple ballot directly against him.
 The legislative department is strong because the constitution leaves so much for tho future legislators to accomplish, and be- cause the constitution puts no serious restrictions on the power of the legislature. The legislators will hold an annual session and there is no time limit on this session. Furthermore, the Iegis- lators are paid an annual salary, and they have a legislative coun- oil composed of their own mem-

or on which they were especially bothered. This course was pur- sued by such delegates a@N Ada Wien of Fairbanks, M. J. Walsh of Nome. Chris Poulsen 0f An- chorage, Leslie Nerland John Cross of Kotzebue and E B Col lins of Fairbanks.
 Specific issues served to touch off keen powers of expression off several delegates. The fiery debate on abolition of fish traps brought Eldor Lee of Ketchikan. Truman Emberg of Dillingham; and KlaWock's Frank Peratro- yich to their feet. They were found to be spokesmen of high calibre with strong abilities of persuasion.
 Won Their Points
 Never pretentious or formal, these delegates won their points by the simple citing of graphic examples.
 More than half the delegates reacted constantly to issues pre- sented to the body in a constant stream for more than two months.
 The two Rivers, Victor of Am chorage and Ralph Of Fairbanks, architect and lawyer respectively, were among the most frequent takers, both being at home in
