VIEWS ON JOINTVRE
FROM ARIZONA
Opposition on Statehood Grows
Less Daily-False Assertion
On Part of Ants have
Produced Rea ction.
ADMIRE NEW hExIcOS WILLINGNESS

Tucson, Ariz., July 3o.--Many
people here are pleased with the
fight you are making for Joint state
hood. 1t is beginning to be un-
derstood in this territory that New
Mexico in jointure will make all
the sacrifices, and Arizona will get
much the biggest part of the pie.
Arizona people have much re-
spect for President Roosevelt.
whatever their own politics may
be, and when he advises US to take
statehood, on the assurance that
otherwise we will have to remain
in territorial vassalage for many
years, we believe he knows what
he is talking about, and that he is
advising us for our good.
Arizona has too long been fight
ing for statehood to give it up
now when it is in her very grasp.
OF course some Of the corporations
which have no use for or interest in
Arizona other than the metal they
ship from her every year, which
makes them richer and Arizona
poorer, oppose any kind of state
hood for they are better off as a
territory; but these interests have
gone too far. They and their pa
pers have used arguments and
made assertions which the people
have found to be false, and there
is a great change to the side OF
statehood going on daily.
Quite a number of your papers
coming to this Office and the fight
you are making for statehood has
impressed us as fair, candid and
void of abuse. The people of this
section want statehood and wan,
it bad. We are more connected
with New Mexico in climate, in.
terests and ease of communication
than we are with southern Arizo-
ma, and we have no objection to
having you IN the new state with
us if we did not fear that you
would gobble up all the state Of
fees, as you have so much larger
vote,
Now this is the whole trouble ir
this part of the country. We dc
not care whether the capital is a
Phoenix or Santa Fe, but we wan

did. The statehood act will give
us one congressman and that is
