from March until a later day, when
favorable weather is likely to prevail
Senator Depew has proposed an amend
ment to the Constitution to change the
date of the Inauguration from March
20 the last Wednesday in April.
Advocates of statehood for New Mex
leo and Arizona We're greatly disap-
pointed that no progress could be made
toward the enactment of an enabling
act during the last session and they
are restless over any proposal to de.
lay action until the regular session Of
Congress, because they fear that the
mass of legislation which will then
ccme up will crowd their claims to
the background.
The Presidents veto of the census
bill makes mandatory some action to
provide for the enumeration of the 18TH
census and some of those who are in
tcrested in this subject believe that
the extra session would give an ad-,
mirable opportunity to dispose of it.
In the House of Representatives it
is understood that only the committee
