THINKS STATEHOOD
IS CLOSE AT HAND

tEf fhNp lllitSD
1t gives The Times peculiar pleas
ufc to be able to congratulate the
people of Arizona and New Mexico
upon the excellent prospects OF their
carly admission as states. This Is
something this paper has long hoped
for and considerably advocated AS an
act Of Justice ana equity.
The bill introduced was so emil
nently fair and its provisions so wise
that the only objection urged to it
was to that provision which gives to
New Mexico two members OF the low
er branch Of congress and only one
o Arizona, but this was justified by
tn" disparity in population between
the two territories, and II it should
be proven unjust by the census next
year 1t can very easily be roctificd.
The provisions Of the bill were
in our press dispatches yester-
day morning and it is, therefore, un-
necessary to repeat them here.
There is every reason to believe
that congress Will pass the bin with
nut unnecessary delay and hat the
long deferred hopes of our neigh
are nearing realization.
