The state will be represented by
two or more congressman, in proper
ton to its population, in the House
of Representatives with all the rights
and privileges of congressman from
every other state. This will give the
state of Arizona her right to demand
and receive the same recognition in
all matters Of appropriation for the
reclamation of our arid lands, devel-
opments of her great mineral resour.
ces, improvements of water ways and
highways as all other states.
Statehood will give us a rightful
representation in national political
conventions for the nomination of
the candidate for the Presidency and
Presidency like unto all other states.
Arizona will be entitled to and re-
ceive by the appointment of her ra-
ito Of citizens to represent the United
States in the diplomatic and the con-
sular service of the government. =.
AS a sovereign state, Arizona sena-
tor and representatives will be en-
titled to recommend or nama for ap-
pointment all of the federal officials
for the state, such as those appointed
by the department Of justice, the
treasury, postof1ce, interior and 9th
er departments, giving us absolutely
and unqualifedly home rule in the
fullest acceptance Of that term.
The larger, the grander and more
comprehensive the state of Arizona
shall be, both in area and population,
the greater power and the more in
%1uences the state of Arizona will ex-
ercise in all deliberations In the fam
lily of states.
Why any citizen of reflective mind,
with honest and unbiased or unself-
ish purposes, can oppose statehood,
especially a state comprising the mag
nifcent area of New Mexico and Ar
izona, is difficult to comprehend.

The Record today publishes the
announcement of Major Mark Howell

lent of schools. Everybody in Chay-
es County knows Major Howell so

by elections to office and has acquit-
ted himself with honor in the va
rious positions of trust to which the
people have called him.
Mr.. Howell was born Feb. IS, 1912,
in johnson county, Missouri. and when
eleven years of g accompanied his
father to California. Not much but
gold was thought of in California in
those days, so that there were prac-
tically no schools. Mr.. Howell, how
ever, did not give up the idea of Sc
curing an education and after reach
ing the years of manhood finished the
common school branches and spent
three years in a California college,
working his W way upward. He
taught school five years in California,
and after coming to New Mexico
taught one year in the public schools

Military Institute. He had long since

SOME OF THE VALUES
OF STATEHOOD.

OF STATEHOOD.
From Tucson Daily Star.
There are many advantages and
not a single disadvantage which will
come to the people of Arizona and
New Mexico. under a commonwealth
which we do not now enjoy.
The state will elect all it's officials,
from the governor down to constable.
This will be home rule.
The election by the people Of those
who govern them, will hold the
governing class responsible to the
people.
The cost Of administering the state
will be very much reduced, probably
to not over one and one-half per cent
for city, county and state.
Instead of having a total assessed
valuation Of taxable property of less
than 500, 0OO, 900 as now in the two
territories, we will have more than
$500, 900, 900. This as an equitable as
sessment of all values, corporate as
well as private.
The adoption of a strong conserva-
tive constitution, fixing limitations
on the rate of taxation and limits on
the legislature and the courts will
prove such a protection to the for
eign investment of capital in the new
state that millions of dollars will
seek investment in our resources,
where but thousands are now being
invested.
This increased investment which
will follow statehood will bring thous
of people seeking homes and
new business opportunities into the
new state, which will create a phe-
nomenal activity in all kinds of BUS
mess and increased prosperity will
therefrom.
The state will be represented by
two senators in the United States
senate with all the power, prestige
and influence enjoyed by the senators
Of the greatest states of the union.

A Grand Success.

The. musicale given under the aus
pices of the ladies of the Catholic
church in Johnson's new store derry
Simpson place. last evening was a
complete success. The spacious room
was well filled with an appreciative
audience.
The decorations of red, white and
blue bunting and flowers made the
place inviting to those who were
there to enjoy an evening of music.
The first number on the
was a duet by Mesdames Lutz and
Hill. Both ladies were at their best.
Then followed a vocal solo by Miss
Winston, and without doubt she sang
in her usual captivating manner. Mr..

The vocal duet by Mrs. E. A. Lew
is and Miss Amelia Bachman may
well be numbered among the best on
the program. The audience would not
be satisfied until they responded to
the hearty applause.
The piano solo by Miss Marie Lew
is was only toe short. The variations
of the solo "Aeolian Harp we're very
pleasing and well executed.
What shall we say of the solo by
Mr.. Seldom otherwise, but that only
few people in Roswell have heard a
more harmonious bass voice than his.
His voice suited the song, '"The Deep
Cold Sea-" very well.
Miss Eva Nelson and Mr.. Lewis
Smith sang and played their parts
in the duet. You Know" simply
e~xceliently.
Then followed a piano solo by Miss
Morgan, and without question she
showed herself to be an accomplished
pianist.
Mr.. Axelson was in his usual best.
He played a violin solo most pleas
ingly n responded with another ex-
cellent selection.
"The Brighter Day." a sole by Mrs.
E. A. Lewis, was one of the leading
numbers of the program. The well
played violin accompaniment by Miss
Eva Nelson only served to bring out
more splendidly her superb soprano
voice.
Mrs. Henry Lutz then. as n would
say, made the piano talk" by her
piano solo. 'evalse Brilliante," and it
indeed 'Brilliante."

Major Howell has always been a
thorough Democrat. At the outbreak
of the Civil War he was only Is years
of age and was in California, but so
strong were his sympathies with the
South that he~with other young men
organized a company to go and fight
for the Southern cause. Eighteen of
them started to join the army, but
were arrested at Fort Yuma and
thrown into prison, so that they failed
to reach their destination. The bal
ance Of the company discouraged by
this abandoned their plan and did not
succeed in entering the service.
No man stands higher in the re
spect of the whole people of Chaves
County than Major Mark Howell, and
the Record would not be surprised If
no opposition is shown to his nominal
ton and election to the office of
county superintendent.

1t is probable that the committee
will follow the recomm endation of the
state central committee, taking the av-

county and allowing one delegate for
thereof. If adopted, this will make the
total number of delegates in the con-
vention about $40. It is probable that
the county convention will be held dur
ing the week before the state con-
vention, either in the Third or Fourth

The meeting tomorrow noon will
probably be the last official meeting
