The Optic last night defined its po-
sition on the statehood question. It
stands squarely on the issue, "joint
statehood If Sc parate statehood
should prove impossible. The re-
porters on their regular rounds this
morning, in order to ascertain how
fully the position Of The Optic is sus-
tanned by its readers, sought for ex-
pressions Of opinion from the business
and professional men encountered.
Sheriff cleofes Romero.
Il have always wanted separate
statehood. wouldn't like to see New
Mexico lose her name. and believe
it would be simple justice to grant
her statehood without having Arizona
hitched on, but, above all other
things, | want to see statehood. We
need the influence that senator's and
congressman can give us in the de-
velopment Of our irrigation and other
industries. am for joint statehood
after we have exhausted every effort
to secure separate statehood"
Robt. [. NJ. Ross.
II doubt if New Mexico and Arizo-
ma would vote to adopt joint state
hood constitution. think It is the
right of the territories to be admit
ted separately, but would rather see
joint statehood than no statehood. +"
Elmer Veeder.
THE question is big one joint
statehood would be better in some re
spects than separate statehood. The
state would be big one, but we would
have twice the revenue and little more
than half the expense. We should
thrive under wise administration and
become one of the most prosperous
states of the Union. doubt II either
New Mexico or Arizona would give .
majority for joint constitution. Still
think 1t would mean better govern
ment, more evenly balanced partie:
an advantage which would outweigh
difficulties that would be serious
enough"
