People to Decide on Statehood.

The action of the majority of the
conferees on the statehood bill was
the only logical one that could be
adopted. 1t provides for the adoption
of a joint statehood constitution by
Arizona and New Mexico, but leaves
it open to the people of those terrific
ries to accept or reject that PROPOSE
ton. OF the result there can scarcely
be any doubt. Arizona has so strongly
declared herself in opposition to being
tied up with New Mexico that it is al
most foregone conclusion that state
hood on such terms will be rejected
provided each territory's vote is
counted separately.
