SOME THINGS WHICH
JOINT BILL CONTAINS
Special TO The citizen.

Special to The Citizen.
Washington, d. c., Jan. 23.-The
statehood jointure bill was presented
today by the majority of the commit
tee on territories, the minority pre-
senting bill against jointure.
The majority bill gives the new
state Of Arizona $1,000 900 for public
schools and makes grants of lands for
rihrg state institutions, 1t provides
for two congressman, two United
States courts to be held at Albuquer-
que and Phoenix, and gives sixty-six
members of the constitutional conven-
tion to New Mexico and forty-four to
Arizona
The convention, which is to meet
at Santa Fe, may hold session of
sixty days, and $150,OOO is appropriat-
ed for its expenses. The convention
shall ordain the time for electing
state and county officers, the legisla-
ture, and the time when the constitu-
tion shall be presented to the people
for ratification.
Delegate Andrews presented the
Bernalillo county petition for joint
statehood, forwarded by Frank Hub
bell, and also bills validating various
bonds of territorial institutions and
refunding laws for several counties.
The opposition to the rule is weak
ening and now does not exceed forty.
The bill will pass the house.

has been developed in the American
navy only, and the working exhibit

but the methods attributed TO them
appear shocking.
Take the nomination for mayor OF
Mr.. Jenkinson. The party was flirting
with the independents, tine democrats
and citizens in selecting a candidate.
w. A. Magee, Jr., an old party man,
announced his intention to fight for
the nomination. All over the city re-
publicans offered him support. Then,
lol the announcement was made that
Mr.. Jenkinson, practically unknown in
party circles, was candidate. What
Jenkinson lacked in popularity was
readily made up by money said TO
have been spent by his hackers TO
turn the tide of sentiment from Ma
gee. They succeeded, but 1t was a
costly battle.
An indication of revolt at these
proceedings is the support that Geo.
w Guthrie. the democratic candidate
for mayor, is receiving. But with all

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 23.--The dawn
of a new political era is breaking in
Pennsylvania Siege is being laid to
the existing state machine by de-
termined men backed with great
wealth, political experience and GER
tain measure of popularity.
That was why such a desperate
struggle was made to secure the NOM
nation of Alexander NJ. Jenkinson,
wealthy tobacco manufacturer, for
mayor, and why money was poured
into the republican primaries as it
never was before. That Is why, too,
it is said that the Pittsburg Leader,
independent afternoon newspaper,
suddenly changed hands for S1,25O,-
600. This leaves but one of the seven
English daily newspapers outspoken
against the new leaders of the party.
Having gained control of Pittsburg,
and already having a stronghold in
Philadelphia, the next reputed move
will be the naming of the governor
of the new state next fall. These new
powers, which are seizing the reins
of republican leadership are: Henry
clay Ol steer anu COhe lnNti
ests; A. j. Cassatt, president of the
Pennsylvania railroad; A. W. Mellon.
banker of Pittsburg, and United States
Senator Philander c. Knox. Asso-
clafed with them are said to be Will
liam Finn, millionaire contractor and
former leader OF the republican party
in Pittsburg; e. M. Bigelow, leader
OF the new discredited reform admin
istration. and John Wanamaker and
Mayor Weaver, of Philadelphia.
Since the death of United States
Senator Quay. several things have
gone badly for the republican organiza-
tion in Pennsylvania. A mighty, pop
ular insurrection shattered the or
ganizatlon in Philadelphia and wreck
ed the leadership of Senator Boies
PenTose. This was followed by the
election of democratic state ticket
with republican votes last fall. 1t
was therefore evident something mad
to be done.
And the fact that Messrs. Frick,
Cassatt, Mellon and KnoX-the first
three being the ones who are reputed
to have named Knox United States
senator-have espoused the salvation
of the organization, is looked upon
with some qualification by the people,

Property Of Every Description.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 23.-Repre-
sentative Hamilton of Michigan, chair
man of the house committee on terri
tories, today submitted favorable re-
port on the Hamilton joint statehood
bill, which provides for the admission
of Oklahoma and Indian Territory as
the state of Oklahoma, and for joint
statehood for New Mexico and Ari-
zona, under the name of Arizona. The

itals. The reoprt says:
This committee considers the crit
icism as Informed which finds fault
with New Mexico because of its for
eign population. Out of population
of 1886. New Mexico has only 49,
465 foreign born inhabitants, a small
Ter percentage than most states of the
Union. New Mexico was made a terri
tory in 1850, and ever since that time
the people of that territory have
elected their own Legislators, made
their own laws, conducted their own
local government and contributed rev.
enue to the federal treasury. Were
1t not that two-fifths of its population,
which are native born but of Span
ish descent, have heretofore been er-
roneously referred to as foreign, 1t
would be an aspersion upon a patri'
I. otic people even to refer to their 10y
atty. The remaining three-afths OF
the population are of the same char
acter as the people of Arizona"
OF the alleged under-valuation OF
property in Ari2ona, for the purposes
of taxation, which was warmly dis
cussed in the hearings, the report
says:
1T has a total assessed valuation
of taxable property as shown by the
report of the secretary of the interior,
of S57,920,372, but it is probable that
its property is returnable for taxation
at comparatively a small percentage
of its market value in some instances,
as indicated by government reports
at not over five per cent of its actual
value"
Concerning taxes in New Mexico,
the report says:
THE assessed valuation of prop
erty within the territory for the year
1905, was S42,57S,792, but it is assert
ed that for the purpose of taxation
property is not returned at more than
90 per cent of its market value"

this, 1t is expected that Jenkinson will
be elected mayor in February, with
the expenditure of less money than
was spent in defeating Magee In the
primaries.
Favoring the republicans is the fact
that the citizens party Is dead Its
following has gone now to what is
popularity called the "billionaire syn
dicate." 1t was the citizens party
that four years ago turned the lime
light upon the corruption and rot
tenness of the republican administra-
ton and held forth the rainbow prom
ise of reform. 1t proved only rain
bow.
With the control OF Pittsburg, the
great metropolis of the western end
of the state and the support of the
reformed republican party in Phlla-
delphia in the east, it is calculated that
the naming of a governor next fall
will be attempted with confidence.
