Letter to the Editor
Dear Sir:

Lear DIT:
 The letter by Eudora Preston which appeared in your issue of June IS, 1860 is true as far as it goes. There is, however, much more to this election code.
 This election code passed by our first state legislature is more than an "act to codify and revise the law relating to state elections" It is law that, in the opinion of many AlaSkans, restricts the rights of the people in this state guaran- teed to them under the Federal and Alaska Constitutions.
 There are quite naturally misun- derStandings about any form of legislation that might be passed and this law is certainly no excep- tion. But there can be no misunder- standing that this law is basically unsound and unfair to far greater amount of people in Alaska than our legislators thought.
 Explaining the functions of a straight party vote still does not eliminate the evil itself. The vot- ing of straight party ticket is provided for in this law and its sole reason for being included was to permit further party machine control. There can be no miSunder- standing about this. What other reason is there?
 The retaining of the unpopular semi-cloSed primary is another ex- ample of ignoring the wishes of many AlaskanS. Now we are forced to vote only in one party primary even though we are independent and wish to vote in the general election for candidates of more than one party. Eudora Preston mentions that everyone, if they wish, can enter the Democratic party primary and vote for those they wish, especially there in Kodiak where there appears to be a hot contest in that party. But this is one of the evils of the law. If people are encouraged to vote in only one party primary, then the other party will wither and die for lack of interest.
 This law further has placed the operation of our election in me

To Coordinate Alaska Studies

Alaska Governor William A. Egan and Senator Warren G. Mag nuson, Chairman of the Alaska International Rail and Highway Commission, today announced they had established the basis for CO., ordinating two programs desired to expedite Alaska'S economic de- velopment.
 Data on natural resources of Northwest America developed for the Commission by Battelle Memor ial Institute of Columbus, Ohio. will be made available to Arthur D. Little, Inc, of Cambridge, Mas sachuSettS, recently awarded a contract by the State of Alaska for an economic development pro gram. In this program Little is to identify specific investment op- portunities in the new State and assist in attracting capital for their development.
 The Battelle Institute for some months has been conducting for the Commission broad study of the natural resources of Alaska and Western Canada in relation to the needs for new or improved transportation facilities and to the benefits which would be derived from adequate rail and highway connections.

The Kodiak Bears, sponsored by the Merchants of Kodiak, had their fourth win in seven games, Friday evening" at the Little League field in town, racking up a score of II runs against the visiting team from the Base, the Braves, who scored three runs.
 The Bears, rallying behind their pitcher, Russell ThorSheim, who gave up only three hits and walked none, came from behind in the fourth when Roger King slid home on a wild pitch.
 Leading the hitters was Ralph Lon gmire, who had 3 for 3 and a season average of 800.
 Lokken, on the mound for the Braves, held the Bears hitless for two innings. In the bottom of the third, Kenny Lester laid the wood to Lokken's first pitch for a single. From then on, the Bears would not be denied.

lncUnbentJs Is A Ca ndida ate

The name of Rep. Peter Deveau was inadvertently left off of the list of candidates running for the State legislature, as mentioned in the letter to the editor from Mrs. Eudora Preston, which appeared in last weeks issue of the Kodiak Mirror.
 Rep. Deveau is a candidate for seat in the legislature, and the article should have read "Pete Deveau, Chuck Weir, Gil Jarvella and Eudora Preston" as it appear ed in the original letter from Mrs. Preston.

hands of the political party in power, in this case the Democratic
 '7artY. No longer will we have the
 benefit of the judiciary running our election. Now we will have a
 political party run it for us.
 Further there can be no mis- understanding that this law has '1egislated" the Alaska party from the election ballot This party was legitimate and had contested the last general election gaining a re- spectable vote. But this party did not run a candidate for governor in 1858 and thus was declared not to be political party by our legis- lators.
 I am most familiar with this last point as I filed for the U. s. Sen ate on the Alaska Party ticket only to have my filing rejected by this law. I have since filed for nomina- tion in the Republican primary of August 9, 1860. I am taking this election code as an issue in this coming election as a good example of the poor legislation that we receive for our tax dollar; as we'll as another freedom lost by our people for the benefit of efficient party government.
 A it appears now we will not secure the necessary signatures to our petition to have this election code placed on the November 9th election ballot. But this does not mean that we will be compelled to live under this law. We have a new legislature to be elected this November. I would request that each voter in the thirteenth cleo tion district question the candi- dates regarding their views on this law The law can easily be amend ed to comply more with the wishes of the people of this state. What we need now are the legislators that will do it.
 1 should like to take this oppor- tunity to thank Mrs. Marie Chand- Ter for her efforts and time in cir our referendum petition. Her only motive in doing this was to further her wish for good gov ernment and this is very much by the referendum committee. I would like further to thank every one of the people in the Kodiak area who signed this
