14 . Tht News-Review, Roseburg, Or. Thurs., Mar. 9, 1950 House Votes Alaska. Hawaii Statehood, But Senate Action May Throw It Out Once More By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON CPV-Alaska nd Hawaii have moved a atep nearer atatehood. That doean't mean they'll get it, at least thia year. In i weelc'i time the House haa okayed atatehood (or both of them. Unless the Senate also approvea, and it may not, the Houae action meana nothing. Next year there'll be a new Congreaa. And, in i new Congreai, what either Home did in i previous Congreaa doean't count. In that caae, the two terrotoriea will have to atari from acratch again. Both have been seeking atatehood a long time. Here'a the atory on both. The U. S. bougnt Alaika from Russia in 1867 for $7,2(10,000. It wasn't allowed to become a terri tory until 1912. A territory can elect Its own legislature but the President ap points the governor. Alaska and Hawaii are each al lowed one delegate in Congreaa. But he can't vole, even when Con greaa ia passing lawa affecting hit territory. The people in a territory pay all the federal taxea but, although they're U.S. citizens, they cant vote in a national election. The U. S. annexed Hawaii, which waa then a Republic, in 1898 and made it a territory in 1900. Alaska Twice Texas' Siie Alaska, twice the aire of Texas with it 583,000 square miles, haa a population of about 100.000 peo ple, which ia more than many of the present atatea had when they were admitted to the union. Hawaii, made up of seven islands with an area of about 6,400 square miles, haa a population of 540,000, of whic 86 percent are U.S. Cit izens. Hawaii'a principal industries are augar, pineapplea, cattle dairy pro ducts, truck crops, fish, coffee. Alaska's chief industries art fura, lumber, mining, fishing. The people in both territories hav voted in favor of statehood. Congressional committees have in vestigated the problem. The Demo cratic and Republican partiea have promised statehood for both terri tories in their party platforma. the Preaident approvea. Real pressure to get the job done began In the middle 1930's. First real action came in 1947. In that year the House voted to let Ha waii come in. The Senate haa never voted. So nothing happen ed. Thia year the House now haa voted for Hawaii again and, (or the first time, for Alaska, too. The people in both territories argue along aimilar linea: They've more than served their apprenticeship aa territories. They're both mature in the exper ience of running their territorial alfairs, but, nevertheless, Congress really runs them, and makes lawa for them. Yet, the people in those territories have no voice in snip ing those laws. Pay Federal Taxea Although the residents of the territories hav to pay federal taxea, they don't receive the full benefits from federal lawa that atatea get. In short, both aay they no longer want to be considered colonies. In addition, they argue that atatehood would strengthen this country's hand in the Pacific. Ha waii is 2,000 miles out in the Pa cific from California. Alaska is separated from Russia by only 56 miles oi water. Some of the Congressmen oppos ed to statehood lor Alaska and Hawaii ague thia way: If admitted, Alaska and Hawaii would have two senators each, aince every slate haa two Sena tors. In addition, Hawaii would be entitled, because of its 540.000 population, two representatives in the House. Alaska, with 100,000 population, would have one repre sentative in tne House, In their local elections, about 100,000 Hawaiian residents vote. In Alaska the vote is about 20,000, Therefore, Alaska would have two Senators representing only 20, 000 voters whereas atatea with mil lions of votea are allowed only two Senators.

JOSEPH. Ore . March t Thia town has given up hope of building a $25,000 community cen ter. The building was to have been constructed from slot machine funds. Work would have started April 1, and the building finished in time for the Chief Joseph days celebrating July 28-30. But state police raided Wallowa county cluba and taverns Saturday night, and warned they would en force tne state law against sioi machines. Mayor Albert Daisley said that. without the alot machine revenue. it would be impossible to build the community center. "We aver aged $700 a month, and has look ed forward to a monthly summer revenue of about $1,200," Chamber of Commerce President Chester Collinsworth said. It waa the second disruption of plans in Wallowa county because of the crackdown on slot machines.
