THINKS STEP WOULD
BE UNPRECEDENTED
Governor Otero of New Mexico Is
Strongly Opposed to Consolida-
ton With Arizona.

Washington, January Ain his annual
report to the Secretary of the interior
Governor Otero of the Territory of New
Mexico takes decided position against
the uniting of that territory with Arizona
as one state. He says:
There Is no doubt that the great ma
jority of the people of New Mexico are
opposed to joining New Mexico and Ari-
Una into one commonwealth. Even the
iona into one commonwealth Even the
prefer single or separate statehood for
each territory. This is not due to any
innate animosity between the two terri
tories, but to the inherent differences in
population in legislation. IN industries, in
contour, in ideals and from historic and
chronological standpoint, not to mention
that the consolidatin of the cmmon-
wealths like New Mexic and Arizona
into one is unprecedented in American
history

GOVERNM ENT OWNERSHIP
Resolution Provides for Commission to
Draw Up National Incorpora-
ton Act for Construction
and Consolidation.

Washington, January 4-Senator New
lands today introduced into the Senate
a joint resolution providing for COM
mission with instructions to frame and re-
port to Congress a national Incorporation
act for the construction and consolidation
of railroads employed in interstate COM
merce. The action proposed by the reso-
luton, the Senator says has nothing to
do whatever with the recent suggestions
OF Commissioner Garfield which he said
simply covered the question of licenses
to manufacturing corporations engaged
in interstate commerce. It's purpose, he
said is to unity and simplify the railroad
systems of The country; to place such
system under national control, to make
the taxes fixed and certain, and to make
dividends certain, so that hereafter any
increase of business may tend mathe-
matically either to a betterment of the
roads or an increase in wages or a dim
mutton in rates. The resolution, the SEN
ator says, puts in concrete form certain
lines of suggestions made by him in the
examination of E. p. Bacon, chairman
Oh the executive committee of the inter
state commerce law convention, before
the interstate commerce commission of
the Senate and was drawn pursuant to
the suggestion of members of that COM
mittee.
