Jones Makes Telling Speech.
CONGRESSMAN Jones of Washington,
1 one of the most forcefUl speakers In
/ congress, has made a hit on the trip OF
l the congressional party. He is man
/ who sees, who thinks, and when he
| speaks he has something to say To
/ him belongs the honor of making the
( best speech of the entire trip. In Ari-
IONA the people are primarily interest
1 ed at this time in the question OF
! statehood. Government irrigation is
! assured them, and they prefer to talk
/ statehood to anything else II was so
1 when the congressman were with them
/ Arizona doesn't want joint statehood
| Arizona doesn't want statehood in any
/ form: she merely asks to be let alone,
] to develop until such time that she Will
/ be fully entitled to admission into the
Union as a separate state. And the

speeches congTatulating Arizona on her

he done it" Senator Newlands is an
enthusiast; to some extent he is a fad
dist. For many years prior TO the
passage of the national irrigation law
! Mr. NewIands talked irrigation in sea
son and out, day and night, high days
and holidays. He never let up Now
that the irrigation law is on the statute
books, Senator NewlandS has taken W
a new theme, and everywhere he goes
he breaches the doctrine of the nation
al Incorporation Of railroads. As a
member Of the committee on interstate
commerce, Mr.. NewIaBds got at the
bottom facts bearing on the sO-calied
railroad evil, and he has reached the
conclusion that nothing short Of ma
tionaI Incorporation viii effect, cure
So il has been that while he started
every speech with an irrigation talk
he wound ~ with railroad business
And he announces that he is going tC
fight for national Incorporation until
he gets it, just as he fought for nation
al irrigation.
