Delta Junction States Case For Initiative No.

Here's what the Walkers Week ly of Delta Junction has to say about moving the state capital:
 Moving the state capital to a more central location would bene- fit the 85 per cent of Alaska S population Who- are now strug- gling with long distance state government.
 Well be that NeWsman Ryan Ryan of Fairbanks who contends that he and all of his y0 years never had to go to the state capi- tai at Juneau is Venturing forth for the first time into the realm of public service.
 Anyone who has worked for the betterment of their commun- ity, large or small, has felt the need at some time to visit state officials at the state capital. We of Delta Junction CANNOT AF- FORD the trip. It has taken seV- eral months of correspondence to bring MT. Shirard here. We have received one 20 minute unex- pected visit from our CommiS- sioner of Education, Dr. Norby. We hope he can plan a trip thru Delta Junction in the near future so that important school problems may be discussed. We can't ask him to make special trip.
 State legislators complain that not enough Alaskans take an ac- tive interest in their legislative bills, that they are ''in the dark" until they get back home concern ing actual reaction. This, too, is a by-product of long distance gov ernment.
 "We must remember that Alas ka is one fifth the size of the United States. Let's relocate the state capital noW!'
