SENATE CHANGES
STATEHOOD BILL
Committee on Territories intro
duces Substitute for Measure
Passed by House

WASHINGTON. March 2S.-Senator
Reveridge today presented to the SEN
ate the report of the committee on ter
ritories favoring his bill in preference
TO that passed by the house for the ao-
mission of New Mexico and Arizona as
separate states. The report defends the
changes made by the senate committee
IN vigorous language, special emphasis
heing given to the refusal. OF the SEN
ate bill to recognize the present elec-
tion law of Arizona
The effect of that law, it is charged,
would be to disfranchise large num-
her of the oldest and most substantial
citizens of the territory by reason OF
their inability to interpret the consu-
tuition of the United States in English.
The house bill would make the present
Arizona law the test of qualifications
of citizens to vote. The house provision
is favored by democrats in both houses.
and probably viii engender the hottest
fight of any of the provisions.
Republicans in Arizona contend its
recoenition would make the proposed
new state of Arizona certainly demo-
cratic. and would handicap the republt-
cans in the territory to such an extent
they would not feel inclined to make
anv fight for control of the new state.
that the constitution of the proposed
states be approved by the president
and congress is defended by Senator
Beveridge as a measure Of justice and
safety.
Another decided difference between
the senate and the house bill is the
requirement in the former that sepa-
rate elections be held for ratification
of the constitution and for the selection
of state and other officers.
Striking features of the senate bill
are the restrictions thrown about the
disposition of public lands and the dis
position of 1 1000. 900 acres to each terri
tory for the payment of county railroad
bonds already validated by congress.
According to the senate bill the
schools in the new states must be con-
Quoted in English. The provision of
the house bill that this requirement
should not prevent the teaching of
Spanish was eliminated. The intent
OF the senate measure is TO create an
English speaking population, so there
will be no occasion in future genera
tions for an English test as an election
qualification.

FAIR CAIIfORNIANS
MAY CHASE JOBS
No Legal Obstacle to Women's
Names on Direct Primary
Ballot, Says Webb

In the opinion of Attorney General
u S. Webb the direct primary election
law does not abrogate nor impair the
statutory rights of California women
candidates for the office of superin-
tendent of schools. General Webb's
opinion, rendered at the request of Dis
trlct Attorney Wachhorst of Sacra-
smento, was made public yesterday.
According to the opinion of the at
torney general a woman eligible to the
Office of county superintendent is en-
titled to secure a regular party nomi-
nation petition and have her name
printed on the official primary ballot
of the party of her choice.
The opinion, requested particularly
in the case of Mrs. Minnie O'Neil, su-
>perintendent of the Sacramento county
schools, was Indirectly the result of a
scare story started Immediately after
the enactment of the direct primary
law. According to that story the leg
islature had by the enactment of the
direct primary law repealed women S
statutory right to hold school office.
The women superintendents of schools
were in a panic. BY common consent
it. was decided that at the worst the
primary law could only operate to pre-
vent the printing of woman's name
on the official primary ballot.
A CHAMPION OF THE FAIR
The friends of the direct primary
law insisted that the fears of the
women were groundless. Their con-
tentions are sustained by the opinion
rendered yesterday by General Webb.
The original scare was based on the
language of that section of the direct
primary law governing the assignment
of places on the official primary ball
lots to candidates for partisan nomina-
ton. Among other requirements is
that prescribing that the candidate
shall make affidavit that -he is a
qualified elector in the election pre-
cinct in which he resides
Obviously a woman candidate could
not make such affidavit, since, under
the terms of the constitution of Cali
fornia, a woman can not become a
qualified elector.
TWO WORDS LIFE SAVERS
Woman's right to hold school office
is a statutory and not a constitutional
right. Basing their contentious on that
fact the proponents of the scare de-
clared that the direct primary law had
wiped women off the political map.
They overlooked a portion of the sec
tion of the direct primary law, which
was the source of their fears The
attorney general was more observing.
The section provides that the candi-
dates affidavit shall be made 'in sub
stantially" the prescribed form. n
General Webb holds that a woman's
inability to swear that she is not a
qualified elector does not prevent her
from substantially" complying with
the terms of the statute. He insists
that there was no intent on the part of
the legislature to change the political
status of women and that in the alb
sence of such intent, either express or
implied, California's fair daughters
may hunt the job of school superin-
tendent through the medium of or
ganized political parties.
