Smith of Arizona errnestly denounced
the action of the committee on territor-
tories in failing to report the bill for the
admission of Arizona His people had
been unfairly treated; Arizona had every
qualification for statehood, but the bill
for her admission was to be smothered
in the committee simply because she had
seen tit to send democrat to congress
Smith said that the territory of New
Mexico, with a population greater than
Idaho and Wyoming combined, was also
kept in the background, and he asked,
was it because poor Joseph (the dele
gate) had started wrong in his youth
and had become democrat. Chapman
while favoring the admission Of the ter
ritories, criticized the proposed consti-
tuition OF Idaho as an invasion of sacred
individual and religious rights. Poly

tolerated by the constitution. The
courts are the only asylums against pas
sion and corruption. Perkins also spoke
IN favor of the bill, and pending further
debate the house adjourned.
