Republican members Of the committee
said today that their investigation Of
the question had convinced them that
Indian territory was not prepared to
assume the burdens of statehood ana
they would oppose permitting It to
participate in the government of the
new state until at least one-half of
the land WAS subject to taxation. The
opponents of joint statehood asser
that the defeat of the bill has practic-
ally been accomplished Even If
enough Democrats and Republicans
could get together to agree upon a
bin they declare the sena committee
on territories has plan Of its own
which it proposes to carry out ana
that n this way all legislation will be
prevented.
The Democrats on the committee
have no such divisions as have ap
peared among the Republicans and
are ready to accept either separate or
Joint statehood. The only proposition
which the Democrats viii oppose to

for the piecemeal absorption Of In.
