The Grant County Vidette takes this
crack at the Havens bill: This paper
has discussed the statehood question here
tofore and given its opinion In regard 10
that matter in language that is easily IN
derstood. Lest some one might miscon-
strUe our language and our meaning. we
wish to say again that we are in favor
of statehood when the proper time ar
rives, say when the free homes bill is
safely passed and has become a law. The
people of this territory are more interest
ed in free homes than they are in state
hood at this time. 1t is the politicians who
are cIamoring for statehood, not the peo-
pie, who will be called upon to bear the
extra burdens in increased taxation We
know there are some who favor trying 10
force statehood because they honestly
think it would be for the best We have
given the matter some thought and have
come to the conclusion that It is an I'M
wise move at this time, and II matters
not If every politician In Grant county
was in favor of the Havens statehood
bill. we would still oppose IT."
