Take Up important Measures
Affecting Territory This
Week.
INTEREST CENTERED
On The Territory and Appropria-
tion Bills, and all Eyes Will
Turn Toward the West
During Discussion of
the Measures

The work Of the house this week
will probably luru the eyes Of the
members toward the west.
the most important measure TO
CONS up will be the Indian ap
piopria'ion bill, which will carry
about 81 OOO,0O
The subcommittee OF the an.
preparation committee expects to
report IT by Thursday at the la
test In addition to the appropri
alton bill the house will be called
upon 10 discuss several territorial
bills next week.
The bill prepared by Delegate
Flynn OF Oklahoma, making a
state of that terrnary, is the first
Of the measures that the commit
tee on territories is now wrestling
with.
The Moon bill granting ordinary
territorial rights to the Indian ter
ritory is up before the committee
as well as the Curtis bill, which
grants the same territory a gov
ernor, secretary, several territori
al officials aud delegate in con
gress.
Mr.. Curtis claims that bis meas
ure is better for the territory than
the measure evolved by Mr.. Moon
because il will, If passed, cosl the
territorial treasury only $4,000 a
year, as compared with The ex
pendi,ure Of $3.50, 900 required by
the other, which calls for full ter.
uionsl machinery.
1t is thought that a vigorous
fight will be made by the parli.
sans Of the several measures for
prompt action, as the Philippine
aud Cuban affairs will come up for
debate Immediately after, and un.
less the territory bills are dis.
posed Of, they will go over indsii
nilely.
1t is the consensus of opinion
among The members Of both houses
bat The territorial bills will be
finally acted upon before the other
are taken nm

POOR POLITICS.
Democrats in Congress Have Llnep-
Up for Separate Statehood.

In a political forlorn hope the
democratic members in congress
have lined up for separate state
hood for the Indian territory, and
have removed the principal bar
rier from the road to passage Of
Dennis Flynn's Oklahoma state
hood measure.
With republican influences be.
hind the Flynn bill, and the dem.
ocratic lead rs urging independ-
ent action with regard to the In.
dian territory, the single state
hood proposition is in a rough
legislative track. The democrats
feel that II state is made ont OF
Indian territory it will give them
two senators, who will act witt
the south. Senator Bailey wa.
approached ia the capital corridor
recently by democrat from Ok.
lahoma, who urged him to vot.
for single statehood because il
would make Oklahoma a certain
republican state.
That argument doesn't appeal
to me in the least" Senator Bailey
Is quoted as having said
1T doesn't make any differ.
ence what party they belong to g.
they vote right in the senate. VIVA
we want is increased representa-
lion in the south and west
Sidney Clark, chairman Of tht
non partisan single statehood com.
mittee, said today that his canvas
among congressman had revealed
the fact that the democrats ar,
practically united on the PROPOSE.
lion Of making two states out OF
the two territories.
"When the time comes" he
said, 81 think you will see the
solid democratic vote Of Missouri
and Texas thrown for separai.
statehood for Oklahoma. The
idea is to make a state at some
iuIure time out Of Indian territory.
In the meanwhile, some form OF
territorial government will be pro.
vided for the Indian territory,
probably along the line of tht
Curtis BILL"
The resolution adopted by the
democratic caucu- pleased the del
egates from the territories. The
resolutions declare 'that the ter.
riIories Of Arizona, Oklahoma an d
New Mexico are entitled to state
hood and should be admitted to
the Union on equal footing with
tue balance oi the states, and we
pledge the support of the demo-
Gratis IN the house of representa-.
lives to such a bill"
The responsibility for defeating
the statehood bills will now rest
entirely with the republicans, and
they are committed to them by
the express declarations Of the ma.
tional platform.
