President In fronto the
Arizona republican., 1906-05-22

The Associated Press, usually so dis passionate in it's use of language, we think erred yesterday when it described MT. Williams filibustering tactics as cedure of the house." In the first place it is an orderly procedure on the part of MT. Williams, though in certain cir cumstances 1t mi9' be discourteous, to insist upon a quorum at every vote. MT. Williams avowed purpose is to make use of his parliamentary privi- Iege to compel the house to abandon its disorderly procedure of holding up the joint statehood bill without the shadow of an excuse for doing so.
Arizona republican., 1906-05-22
PHOENIX, ARIZONA, MAY 22. 1906.
A SHAME TO WASTE THE MONEY

According to a special telegram printed by the Republican this morn ing. there are indications that the house will accept the joint statehood bill as it was returned from the senate. with the Burrows amendment.
 That would be much more sensible than anything the house has so far done in connection with this matter.
 Though the Foraker amendment is entirely satisfactory to us, and IS quite fair, no useful purpose could be served in referring the question to separate vote of Arizona and New Mexico. It is admitted by even the most earnest of the friends of joint statehood that there is no doubt of the defeat of the joint statehood proposi- ion. They would. however, like to have a vote to see whether they would be able to cast ten per cent. of the total vote. or twenty-five per cent; just to measure their strength and on the basis of the result, estimate about how long it would be before it would be worth while to renew the agitation, if it ever might be worth while at all.
 All this might be very satisfactory to them, but We fail to see what grat- ification their friends in Washington would derive from such satisfaction of the curiosity of the local jointists.
 We do not believe that the govern ment can with propriety spend money in futile experiments of this kind. It there were any doubt as to the prepon- derance of sentiment in Arizona on the subject of joint statehood, it would be proper to take measures to resolve that doubt, but since there is none, there can be no sense in wasting the public money and inflicting the annoyance of a special election upon the voters.
 Congress will have done enough in the way of admission when 1t has let Oklahoma and the Indian Territory in.
