Brodie's Plea for Statehood

or or Ar1Zona makes a vigorous plea for admission, as follows:
 Arizona has passed through all of the various stages of territorial growth, and today the magnificent development of its resources places the territory so far advanced that to longer deny the star of Arizona a place on the flag of our country is regarded here and abroad as an in justice to the people who have so faithfully borne the burden of a ter ritorial form of government for a period of thirty-eight years The preparation is all that is required of a territory-in population, in developed resources, in productive ness, in advanced social conditions and in patriotism and loyalty to the country and humanity has reached the highest aim of a great commonwealth.
 During the past year the issue of statehood has been uppermost in the minds of the people of this territo- ry The subject has been thorough ly studied by the citizens of every county within the borders of Arizo- ma, and from every quarter comes a most urgent appeal for the realiza- ton during the coming session of congress of a desire which is strong in the breast of every citizen of the territory, the privilege of full and complete sovereignty.
 In the city of Phoenix, on October 26, 1901, there was held a territori- al statehood convention, which was attended by delegations of citizens from every county in the territory. The interest in the statehood move ment had reached high point, and a demand for a public expression of the desires of the people culmi- mated in the great gathering at Phoenix Leading citizens of Ari- zona participated in the delibera- tions of this convention. wise coun- l sel was held and able argument presented which brought forth sub stantial facts to show that Arizona I was being denied place in the sis terhood of states which justly be- longed to her and which all of the advanced condition of her develop ment demanded and upon which the greatest achievements of her future depend
 This convention sent delegation of substantial citizens to Washing ton to give personal attention to the interests of Arizona in her demands for statehood. The committee worked diligently, using every hon. orable means to forward the claims of the territory, spreading the knowledge of its resources among senators and congressman, present. ing facts which convinced, and never once failing in an earnest appeal for early and decisive action. The board of trade at Phoenix sent a representative citizen to Washing ton to assist this committee, and

was WltnnelQ until the DecemDer session, when the bill will come up for final action.
 The resolutions passed by the territorial statehood convention are presented herewith to show the ar gument which Arizona makes for admission as a state:
 Resolved. That we, the people of Arizona, in convention assembled, hereby declare that we are justly entitled to be freed from a territori- al form of government; that such a government is fitted only for a sparsely settled and turbulent front fer, and that whenever any section of country becomes reasonably de- veloped by a sufficient number of people, wealth and intelligence, such a country should then be elect ed into a sovereign state and the people clothed with full power of self-government. It has been the unvarying custom of the people of the United States, through congress and the executive departments, to admit to the union of states every territory which possessed sufficient population, wealth and ability to govern itself.
 We also declare that the territory of Arizona has been under a terri torial form of government for Q period of thirty-ei years; that for the past ten years she has had a larger population and greater wealth than the average of all the states of the union at the time of their admission since the original thirteen states established the gov ernment-
 The territory of Arizona, in point of climate, soil and mineral re- sources, is without a peer. No other equal area west of the Missis- sippi river has more natural re- sources. Her soil produces the oranges and Times of Italy, the dates of Egypt, the grapes of France, the cereals of the north and the cattle and sheep of the central states; her mineral wealth is un- measured; her mines of copper alone are producing bullion of the value of s35, 100000 annually.
 We declare that Arizona is justly entitled to admission as a state First. because she has the requi- site number of people; Second, be- cause she has more than the re- quired amount of wealth; Third, because she has the desire and a ability for self-government; Fourth, because her people have shown to be first in patriotism and loyalty to the union in time of peril; and, finally, the admission of Arizona to statehood will, in ad- dition to our already acquired pop and wealth, cause a rapid increase in development through the confidence inspired by the knowledge of stability under the state law
 Resolved further, That confident ! ly relying upon the sense of justice l and iberality existing in both | branches of congress we do most
