VtGILANCE^THE PRICE OF LIBERTYSao Francisco

Last »-eek television viewers saw a nationwide CBS Re­port drajoaticaUy picture the difficulties and frustrations encountered by Negroes in Mississippi in thdr attempts to register for voting becau^ of arbitrary roadblocks put up by duly elected officials according to their on-n whims and prejudices under the pretense of legal procedure.

One could not help but be impress^ with the deep con­victions and siDc|re expressions of those denied the right to register, that voting would give them a sense of being a part of this great Country ana would establish them as first-class dtizens. Emphasized was the 15th Amendment to the Consti­tution of Uie Uniied Sutes declaring the right to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by the States because of race, color, or national origin.

The national spotlight continues to focus upon this very serious situation in the deep South, and all of us share this threat to the established principles of tMs Country.

Similarly conccrnc^MiUth voting rights and busily doing something about the situation are our JACLers in Idaho, where the Idaho Slate Constitution prohibits Chinese and those of Mongolian descent, not bom in the United States, frpm voting, sening as jurors, or holding dvil office.

On first impression, the average voter might look upon the phrase “not born in the United States" as justification

• for denying the franchise, assuming that those denied are dljens. But this law includes Issci, not bom in the Unh^ States, but who are now naturalized citizens, from voUng>

t course.In 1€89 at the Idaho Constitutional Convention when

this provision was placed iq the Constitution, the Chairman of the Convention declared, “The greatest desire is to ex­dude Indians and Chinese and Mongolians from any partid- pation in the eleciive franchise until they become properly qualified under the law*.

Now that perspiu originally prohibited this section have become "prop^'qnalified uneler the law,” this prohi­bition Ihbuld deleted from the State Constitution.'

This practically little known section of the Idaho State Constitution was brought to light by an enterprising reporter of the Coeur d' Alene (Idaho) ^reas just before the 1960 Na­tional election, in digging up what he thought were some rarious uiiMstereMing voting reguUUom in the State. J)WX ^1000 Clubber Henry Vamaraoto. Coeur d' Alene restaun^eu^ descentmt bom ia thealertly senl the clipping to cousin Ed Yamamoto, 1000 Club is di««rtrfui m ii...lifer of Moses Lake, who relayed it on to National Head­quarters, from whence it went to PC with a covering memo.Its a^iearance in the PC stimulate then National 2nd Vice President George Sugai of Payette., Idaho, to urge his per­sonal acquaintanebs in jdaho State Legislature to act on the

As amatter. As a result, the first aetton of the State Legislature in Janaury 1961 was to repeal this section of the State Con­stitution by unanimous vote (Senate vote - 44 to 0. House vote • 5S to Oi and provide for -the measure^ to be referred to the general electorate in 1962.

Meantime, the Intermountain District Council under then Chairman Joe Nishioka of Idaho Falls ^nd George Sugai took^ the matter and laid plans for District Council and chapter action. Joe Nishioka continues to-give leadership by heading up the Idaho Committee for Yes on SJR 1.

The IDC and Idaho JACLers are to be commended for their efforts to inform the voders in spite of their present busy-ness with crops.

He experience of the 1960 Washington Alien Land Law- Repeal Campaign demonstrated conclusively thst the en­dorsement of high officials and many pleading organizations must be complemented with vigorous and extensive leg work to get the right information personally to the individual voter, who actually goes into the voting booth and marics the ballot, as the sine qua non of electorate approv-al.

Our thanks to the chapters outside of Idaho who have sent to the Idaho Committee f^\Yes on SJR 1 substantial expressions of their support and recording their interest and concern in upholding the establiidied principle of a citizen's right to vote in this Country.
