NOTHING DOING SOON.
Talk of the President-elect Shows
That There Is Nothing to Be Done
About Statehood at the Coming
Short Session of Congress, In Spite
of the Promises of the Republican
Territorial Leaders.
From the Albuquerque Journal.

From the Albuquerque journal
In what purports to be an author
lied statement outlining. President
elect Taft's views upon the publ
questions likely to be uppermost dur
ing the opening year of his admins
tration the president-elect is declar-
ed in strongest terms to be unqualified
ly in favor of the immediate admiss-
ion of New Mexico and Arizona as
states. %
This statement, which has been
printed in Washington and in a num-
ber of newspapers in eastern cities,
deals generally with the president
elects views upon forthcoming legis-
lation, and only those portions of the
statement relating to statehood are
reproduced The inn maression given in
this statement is thaN its writer does
not expect statehood ILLS to be pass
ed during the approaching short sess-
ion of congress, but that the president
elect expects and will urge their pass
age at the first session of congress
during his administration. What au-
thority there is for the indication
that the short session will take no ac-
ton on the statehood bills is not
shown.
That portion of the statement re-
lating to the statehood question is
given below:
Wasf1ing gton, Nov. 17-President-
elect Taft, before he started for Ohio,
in several conversations with visitors
left behind him some distinct impress
ions as to what his course will be in
dealing with questions that are press
ing for settlement.
His talks were not in the nature of
formal statements, but were freely
made, and his expressions were with
out much reserve.
OF course, following his Inaugural
ton his first important official act
will he the calling of congress to-
gether in extraordinary session for
the express purpose of revising the
fariff. When the extraordinary sess-
ion convenes the first official mess
age of the new president will be de-
livered and this he intimated in sever
al conversations with visitors will be
confined almost exclusively to a dis
cussion Of the tariff. But after that
the most important effort of the pres
ident will be to secure the admission
OF New Mexico and Arizona into the
Union as two separate and independ-
emit states.
Does Not Like Joint Statehood.
Secretary Taft had no sympathy
with the vicious fight made by Senator
Beverfdge for the consolidation of
those two territories into a single
state. The all but universal course OF
congress since the adoption of the
constitution has been to admit terri
tories as states with the areas they
contained as territories. The notable
exceptions to this rule were the divis
ion of the great northwest territory
