Held TO Be Illouical,

Walter p. Stradley. Of oxford. N. c.,
in an article to the Washington Post
regarding the statehood question.
says:
This alignment OF forces on the
statehood question seems to me Hog
ical. The proposition TO admit Okla
homa and the Indian Territory seems
a sound one. The resolution of the
recent single statehood convention at
Oklahoma city. which so clearly and
cogently state the reasons for that
course. present unanswerable argu-
meuts. My personal observation dur
ing trip through these territories is
that a majority OF their inhabitants
favor single statehood
But why should the advocates of this
measure in the senate oppose the ad-
mission of Arizona and New Mexico as
separate states? There may be de-
grees of merit in this matter. but
granting that Arizona and New Mexico
are less deserving Of admission tan
the others. it does not follow that they
fall below the minimum qualifications
for statehood.
What are these qualifications? There
is 70 legal test. The matter seems to
rest in the sound discretion of the con.
gress, but the conditions precedent
laid down In the arguments of the OPP
ponents of the omnibus bill, | submit,
are unfair. What warrant Is there for
demanding of territory seeking ad-
mission a population equal to the aver
age population OF the states? Such a
| demand is purely arbitrary. and re-
minds us of the naughty millionaire
who tells his daughters impecunious
sutton: Go acquire fortune equal to
mine! Not till then will even con-
slider your request" Aud whence comes
the idea that New Mexico must be de-
MED admission because many of her
citizens are not Anglo-Saxons (using
that word in the popular sense)? DO
we not see in this objection the influ-
ence of the fiction that this is a repub-
| lie of Anglo-Saxons? And If for that
reason we shut out New Mexico. do
wo not by the same token indict the
Illness of many other states TO remain
In the union? Pray tell me. also. II
there is any given kind of industry pre-
scribed for statehood? III the industry
OF territory he single, and that one
industry he not predatory hut wealth
producing. what matters il II IL he pas
toral or mining? But the fact is that
the territories in question have these
two industries. together with some ag-
riculture; and will any senator who
voted for the irrigation bill impeach
the wisdom of his vote by denying that
irrigation will increase agriculture in
these territories? More agriculture,
more homes; more homes, more peo-
pie.
After ali, is not the ability TO main
tain republican form of government
the real test of any peoples fitness TO
enter this union of self governing re.
publics? And, judging from the his
tory of these two territories. does any.
body doubt that their citizens are one
whit less capable of carrying on n re-
publican form of government than the
people of Pennsylvania?
Therefore. | favor the passage of the
omnibus bill to amended as to provide
for the admission Of Oklahoma and In
dian Territory as one state, Arizona
and New Mexico as separate states
