BOTH HOUSES ADOPT
 STATEHOOD BILL REPORT
(contlnued from First Page.)

NSOuLlnu6u lTOLl rIISl 1d66sI members had been better satisfied than the majority members with the out come on New Mexico and Arizona, and added that the union of Indian territo- ry and Oklahoma worked no great hardship because their union was not a mere bringing together of parts which formerly constituted one subdivision of the country. From the very first the democratic party had, he said, been favorable to the admission of Oklaho- ma and Indian territory as two states if possible, but if not as two, then as one. He predicted that joint statehood for Arizona and New Mexico would be overwhelmingly defeated by the vote in both territories and thought the Affect time.
 Senator Morgan criticised the com- promise provision on the ground that it left to the president the right to say whether New Mexico and Arizona de- eide to enter the union, saying that this was a delegation of power that con- gress had no authority to make. He
  ritories would be for statehood. He advanced the proposition that congress could admit new states without the CO., operation of the president.
 MT. Morgan declared that the bill had been from the beginning a republican measure and the effect would be to ad- vance the interests of that party. He spoke of the varying size of the states and comparing Rhode Island to New York, said it was more majestic be- cause it's two senators were present in the senate while New Yorks senators were not. He predicted that such leg islation as this would be resorted to until two-thirds republican majority was assured and said that such pos session of power was liable to result in the expulsion of any senator who should dare to express his sentiments: CT would not impute that desire to sen- ators on the other side of the senate" he said, ''but l confess I dread you when you get the power-I dread you
 While expressing the opinion that the result would inure to the interest of the small eastern states and expressing a preference for single statehood for Oklahoma and Indian Territory Sem ator Stone expressed his willingness to accept the report as a final settlement of tho question.
 Senator McCumber said he did, not agree that the consolidation of the ter itories had been engineered by the re- publican party, but he believed with Mr Money that it had been influenced by sectionalism, the prejudice on the part of the old states against giving more power to new states Senator Du- bois found fault with the report be cause of the omission of the anti-polyg- amy amendment as applied to Ari- zona,
 He declared there are many polyg- amists living in that territory and that, once admitted to statehood, the Nor mon heirarchy would enter politics and have control. He then said:
 q know what it means to me; it means the end of my political career. I have given no quarter and have asked none. I enjoy the life and duties here, and I would have had continuous service in the senate but for this con- f1ict. I would not have been defeated in 196 but for this heirarchy. and know that no man can now be elected to the senate from Utah, Idaho or Wyoming who antagonizes this heirarchy warn the senate that 1t is playing with fire. I shall not vote for the report"
 The report was then, at p. m. adopted without division.
