The Democratic Members of the Committee on Territories Submit a Minority Report
 Eliminating Arizona and New Mexico
The Plan of Battle Outlined at Meeting Attended by inc Largest Number of Insurgents Vet Gathered Together They Give Assurance of Strength 10 Break inc Rule

New Mexico was made territory in 1850 and ever since that time the people of that territory have elected their own legislators. made their own laws, conducted their own local gov ernment and contributing revenue to the federal treasury.
 Were it not that two-fiftns of it's population which are native born, but of Spanish descent have been hereto fore enormously referred to as foreign, il would be an aspersion upon a pa triotic people even to refer to their loy- atty. The remaining three-fifths of it's population are of the same charac- ter as the people of Arizona
 Of the alleged undervaluation of property in Arizona for purposes Of taxa ton, which was warmly discussed in the hearings, the report says; "It has a total assessed valuation of tax able property as shown by the report of the secretary of the interior of ST. 92O.372, but il is probable that it's property is returned for taxation at a comparative small percentage of it's mar,cee value in some instances as in dicated by government reports, at not over five per cent of it's actual value"
 Concerning the taxes in New Mex JcD, tEe report says The assessed valuation of property wi,lin the terri tory for the year 19O5, was $42.57S,792 but it is asserted that for purposes of taxation property is not returned d. much more than twenty per cent Of its market value.
 The report concludes as follows: 'Tnasn1uch as congress intended by the organic act of the territory of okla homa, that all of the original Indian territory together with what is now Beaver county, should become one state and inasmucE as the present ter ritory of Oklahoma has for some time been qualified for statehood which has been deferred until the Indian Terri tory shoald be ready to be joined herewith in statehood, and.

THE EIGHT HOUR LAW.
As Effective in the Canal Zone as Any
 where Else.

Washington, Jan. 23.-The eight hour
 law cannot be abrOgated for work on
 the Panama canal and the canal com
 missiOners cannot receive additional compensation beside their salaries as commissioners. These two changes in
 the urgent deficiency appropriation
 bill now under consideration in the
 house was the net result of today's
 session. Innumerable amendments
 seeking to perfect the bill as to canal
 purchases, purchases of coal for the
 navy etc, consumed time in discussion but met defeat when a vote was taken. When the session ended about half of the bill had been considered. It will be laid aside tomorrow when the state ] hood bill is to be brought in and have the right of way until disposed of
 The two amendments, which prevail d in the bill, were secured without dis cussion. The eight hour day provision went out on a point of order as new ! Legislation made by MT. Williams tho minority leader and who was immedi- ately sustained by MT sherman, in the chair. The limitation of the salaries | of commissioners was offered by MT. | Fitzgerald of New York and was ac- cepted by the committee.
 MT. Dearmond of Missouri. offered a number of amendments which had as i their object the requiring of European competition in the purchase of canal supplies. Each amendment went out 1 by republican votes on the statement | of MT. Tawney, chairman of the ap- prOpriations committee, that this com petition was secured now and without l the expense of advertising in Europe.
 The bids of European manufacturers. ! he said, were accepted now, and these | manufacturers had their agents in American cities and were kept in touch with the demands of the commission.

HEPBURN RATE BILL.
A Unanimous Agreement Reached by
 the Committee.

Washington, Jan. 23.-After con- ference lasting all afternoon. the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce today agreed upon a rate bill to be known as the Hepburn biH and to be reported to the house with the unanimous recommendation of the eighteen members of the committee. In the main, the biu is the original Hepburn bill, but a number of conces- sions were made to the democrats, and their ideas as set forth in the Davie bill were freely incorporated in the perfected measure. Chairman Hep burn was congratulated by all the members of his committee on the drafting of a bill upon which the two parties could agree. and the members of the committee assert confidence thai the successful outcome of their lon conferences will have marked effect upon the attitude of the senate toward the measure.
 Mr. Hepburn and the other republi- cans agreed to accept the wording or the democratic bill in the provision for the fixing of the maximum rate. Thy amendment which was accepted pro- vides that the commission shall fix q ''just, reasonable and fairly remuner- ative rate, which shall be the maxr- mum rate"
 l It was maintained by the democrats | that under the original Hepburn bib wording. the commission was required
 to fix the highest of the just. reason able and fairly remunerative rates" in
 case there were several such rates | Chairman Hepburn and the republf- | cans do not believe there is any dir i ference in the two workings, but were perfectly willing to accept the langu-
 age of the Davie bill.
