An enthusiastic crowd of over 100 turned out for the Republican Rally held Oct. 20 at Williwaw Lodge on Wasilla Lake.
 Martha Stewart was chair man of the rally committee. At tending candidates were Mike Stepovich, candidate for gover- nor; Lowell Thomas, Jr., candi- date for the U. s. House of Re presentatives; Bob Stratton, running for the State Senate, District E.; Gene Reid, candi- date for U. s. Representative, District T; and Brad Phillips, campaign manager for Stepo- vich.
 Phillips acted as master of ceremonies for the rally and introduced the speakers.
 In urging his audience to make change, Mike Stepo- vich, gubernatorial candidate agreed that his opponent is a nice guy, however, that as an administrator he cannot handle the job of governor of Alaska in a manner that is advantage ous to the Alaskan taxpayer. Continuing, Stepovich said MT. Egan's spending and bung- ling has created too much gov- ernment in Juneau and as a matter of fact, we now have more government than used to come out of Washington, D. C. during Territorial days"
 In conclusion Stepovich felt that his opponent is not pay ing enough attention to the needs of Alaskans, that more elective offices are needed, and Alaska's natural resources

Rally Candidates Speak Al WasiIIa

should be surveyed so the land can be used "as the good Lord intended"
 Gene Reid, Palmer area farm CT pointed out that while he is not a politician, he is a work ing farmer. Promising the vot- CTS "all" is not good business, and Reid said he would work for Alaska as an Alaskan.
 Lowell Thomas Jr., Anchor age resident aspiring to the seat in the House of Representatives now held by Ralph Rivers claimed his opponent had made elaborate claims for his abilit- ies and results in Washington. Specifically Thomas question ed what the present represen- tative did in regards to lifting the crab embargo. Another point brought out by Thomas was Rivers action when the Russian fishing fleet invaded Alaska waters.
 Contending that Rivers was a Kennedycrat and voting 100 percent down the Kennedy line, Thomas said that a 100 per cent administration voting rec ord is not in Alaska's best in- terest.
 The last candidate to speak was Bob Stratton, Anchorage businessman and running for the State Senate. Stratton spoke in favor of the Agricul- tural Loan Revolving Fund and reiterated his continuing sup port of the program, that is so vital to the Matanuska Valley area. He felt that social and economic progress must be brought about through fiscal responsibility, which our pres- ent administration apparently shows no intention of doing.
 A dinner preceded the cam paign speeches, followed by a social hour.

October 31, 1862 DEAR EDITOR:
 Your Editorial of October 25, although it covered the subject very well, has done little to ov- ercome the apathy of the local voters.
 Of approximately 1,411 tax payers only 400 have registered to date. POI of these could de- eide the issue. Only 42 attend ed the hearing.
 Besides the $1, ,322,000 b 0 n d authorization for local schools there will be four (4) bond au- thorizations amounting to ST. 325,000 to be voted upon on the state level. $5,950,000 for Uni versity of Alaska construction; 5000, 1000 for construction and equipment of certain elemen- tary and secondary schools; $4,175,O00 trunk airports at Lower Yukon, Sand Point, Bar row, Sitka and Savoonga; $2,- 100000 Vocational school at Kodiak -Aleutians Senate Dis trict.
  Almost all taxes are passed on to the consumer along with the cost of production.
 It is difficult to pin down just who the consumers are. But they are apparently some of the same people who shop outside of Palmer to save the sales tax, then come home to vote for tax increases.
