THE STATEHOOD BILL
Republican Caucus Voted to
 Ask Senate Conference.
CANNON ON PRESENT LEGISLATION.
Speaker Said Rate Hill Would Pass. h Opposed to Four New Senators From Arizona and New
 Mexico.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-As the result of a caucus which lasted for two and half hours the Republicans of the house voted 126 to 8 to stand by the statehood bill as it passed the house and ask the senate for a confer ence on the measure. This vote fol- lowed immediately after a resolution offered by Mir. Mondell (Wyo), repre- senting the insurgents. had been de- feated, 123 to 43, the Mondell resolu- tion being to agree to the senate amendment eliminating Arizona and New Mexico from the bill and asking a conference on the minor amendments in the measure.
 Several speeches were made. They were limited to i've minutes each, but in the case of Speaker Cannon and Mir. Hamilton (dich.), chairman of the committee on territories. the time was extended. MT. Hamilton opened the discussion with . plea for the original house bill.
 The speaker followed, touching first on the binding effect of both caucuses and conferences. He took the position that where the party took action on any matter of this nature all members participating were bound by that ac- ton.

JOHN MORIARTY, Undertakes,

He made the point that there were twenty residents of Oklahoma and In. dian Territory who object to being tied together where there was one in Arizona and New Mexico. He admit. ted he was being deluged with tele- grams on behalf of Oklahoma. He contended that the effect of admitting Oklahoma and Indian Territory at this time and not disposing of Arizona and New Mexico only meant that there would be four new senators from Ari- zona and New Mexico instead of but two senators in case the house stood firm. T wish to, God," he remarked, 'the senate was twice as good as 1t is. It performs It's functions fairly we'll it is our senate" But to add four sen ators where but two should be added, he declared. would give the senate too much influence as compared with the house based on population.
 Reviewing legislation before con- gress, he said the rate bill would pass; that If the house would stand firm its statehood bill would also become a law. And we can stay here for three months" he declared. Addressing the insurgents" he added. "why join the Democracy in order to have your own way?" The speaker then turned his face toward the senate and remarked: "On what meat doth this our Caesar feed that it hath grown SO great? My judgment is that statehood will come as the house bill contemplates.'

 and his fists clinched. Judge Hamilton
 poured forth flood of denupciation and invective upon the members of the
 board of trustees of the New York Life Insurance company, several of whom were present, denouncing them as ''curs and traitors' and paying es- pecial attention to one unnamed, whom he described as ''the Pecksniff of three administrations, the confident of Beers scandal and author of the Beers pen sion, who rotates through one adminis- tration and another and thinks that he is going to be an indispensable mem- Der of yet another"
 He declared again and again that the payments were proper and legitimate and that he had no apology to make for himself or for President Mccall.
 One of his most interesting state ments was that in spite of reports to the contrary the so called Paris ac- count was actually reported and ap- proved by the auditing committee.
 In the assembly sat group of New York Life ofilcers-John c. Mccall, Second Vice President Thomas A. Buckner, First Vice President Darwin P. Kingsley. son-in-law of the late John A. Mccall: J. H. Mcintosh, gen. eral solicitor of the company, and Ru. fus W. Weeks, vice president and chief actuary. Several times while speaking Hamilton pointed derislvely at the New York Life officials.
 "The trustees of the New York Life are CUTS and traitors" Hamilton de- clared at the very start. q thank you for letting me say what wish regard Ing the New York Life. shall confine my remarks to that company. Of oth- CTS I will not speak. It Is your duty to remove the trustees of the New York Life on Nov. 15 arbitrarily.
 .'I stand here and see men who have in the past applauded my victories. have wondered since if their attitude has not been one of counterfeiting hon. esty.
 ''I said that I would come to the front now. Here l am. One of the im- portant features of this investigation has been my transactions. and when you have heard all the sweet protests of innocence of how these men drove the dead man into his grave you will know why I am here.

oftener the most reasonable and neces-
sary recommendations are ignored by
the representatives Of the people than
promptly enacted into law. There is
where the political boss, the corpora
tons and special privilegists again
show their power Of coercing the legis-
lative bodies to defy or ignore the rec
concentrations of the executive. But
with the power to initiate laws in the
hands Of the people their representa-
tives are compelled to act by either
passing the proposed law substituting
another, or by perfecting by amend
ment the original measure That is i'm
proved representative government, for
through this Direct Initiative the peo-
pie can compel thir representatives to
consider the measure petitioned for,
Which must go to Referendum vote,
with the substitute or amended bill
an dthe voters decide which shall be-
come the law.
That is the Direct Initiative that no
boss or corporation or corrupt lobby
can prevent being used to obtain direct
legislation, and until the people have
the power to initiate legislation they
desire and veto such as they dislike
