disease in from three days to three

Animals affected with distemper
should not be sold. Young animals
should not be brought in contact with
those affected nor watered out of the

rejection of the constitution adopt. ed would have to go over to the next Congress. If that Congress acted and approved the constitution presented before the holiday recess, the state election could he held in February or March 1912, and the new state government inaugnrated on or before May 1st of that year. But should that Congress fail to act, (and the President approves) or puts off it's action until the closing days of the session, it will be the Fourth of July, 1912 hefore the new state will be proclaimed.
 The enabling act provides that all county officials in the territory elected in 1908. and the territorial delegate in Congress shall hold over until the new state is pro. claimed. Which leaves in office all the present incumbents at least six months and perhaps eighteen months longer than the terms for which they were elected.
 There are many more provisions of interest in the enabling act, but they have no bearing upon the topic under consideration in this article. But there are two points that will be mentioned: if the people reject the constitution framed the governor is to call together the convention a second time, to frame a second funda. mental law for submission 10 the people, who will have another chance at statehood; but if Con. gress rejects the constitution there will be m end to the matter until another Congress passes an' other enabling act.

THE PROCEDURE AND THE TIME.

Last Saturday THE OASIS an- nounced that on the preceding Thursday afternoon the Senate had passed the Beveridge bill granting statehood to Arizona and New Mexico. Saturday afternoon, after TIE OASIS had gore to press a telegram from Delegate Cam eron announced that the House had accepted the Beveridge bill, which had been adopted in the Senate as a substitute for the Ham. illon bill, the latter a measure upon the same subject that had passed the House three months ago. Monday President Taft affixed the executive signature, and the bill has become law.
 Many inquiries have been ad-
 
 dressed THE OASIS with regard to the time and the procedure to be followed before Arizona can reach the dignity of a sovereign state under the law that has just been spread upon the federal statute book. A reply to those inquiries Is presented herein, and doubtless it will be of interest to all readers of this paper. As to the time: All the necessary for malities can be observed and the new state proclaimed by the Fourth of July 1911; and another course may be followed which would add at least year to that time.
 The enabling act provides that the governor of the territory shal call an election not less than sixty nor more than ninety days after approval of the act, to elect a con vention of 6fty.two delegates, to bt apportioned among the various counties according to the vote cas- in the general election in 1908, tht apportionment to be made by tn, governor, secretary and chief jus tite.

legislature and county officers not earlier than sixty nor later than ninety days after. That election would be held in either May or June next year. The result would be certified to the President, who would proclaim the new state, the officers of which would be inducted into their positions, the legislature called to elect United States sena. tors; and all the machinery can be set in motion by the Fourth day of July 1911. This assertion is based upon two propositions-the first Is thlt the shorter time will be taken in each case where choice Is given; /; the second is that the President and Congress approve the constitution submitted; or the President ap. proves and Congress adiourns on the Fourth of March next without disapproval. To accomplish that result everything will have 10 be done in the shortest time possible. Even then the President and Con- gress would have but four weeks in which t, consider the new funda- mental law.
 But should the longer time be taken where there is given in the enabling act a choice of sixty or ninety days, and the election for ratification or rejection of the con. slitution could not be held as early as January llth, it would be held in all likelihood March 1lth. Two such choices are given, and if both are taken that will be the latest date on which to hold the election The present Congress will have ad iourned sine die then, and the question of approval of the Consli tuition will go over to the first reg ular session of Congress that vii be elected in November next, which will not convene until the frs

VSiotOt' my uIoIO SiIibOh sVOhey one years of age who has resided in the territory twelve months, is qualified elector in that election.
 Upon the fourth Monday after their election the delegates will as- .emble in convention at Phoenix and frame a fundamental law for government of the proposed state, and 1t may remain in session sixty days. Now then: Should the cleo. tiOn for delegates be called sixty days after presidential approval oi the enabling act (June 20th), the convention will assemble on the twelfth day of September; but if the election is called ninety days after it will not convene until the twelfth day of October.
 The convention can remain in session sixty days, but it may take less time. However should the de- Alterations extend the full sixty days it will adjourn either Novem- Der 1lth or December 11th.
 The constitution framed is to be submitted to the people of Arizona for approval or rejection at an election the date of which is to be fixed by the convention not earlier than sixty days nor later than ninety days after its own adj ,urn- ment. If the convention adj0urns upon November 1lth, and the elec- tion is called sixty days later, it will be held January 11th; if ad- journment is had December 1lth, and ninety days are taken before the election, the latter cannot be held until March llth.
 Upon the third Monday after the election for approval or rejection the governor and chief justice oI the territory are to meet at Phoe' nix canvass the returns, and sub init the result, with the constitu .lon, if adopted, to the Presiden and Congress for approval. Now here's the rub: If the election or adoption of the constitution is helt on January 11th the new funda mental law can be certified to tn, President by the governor ant chief justice on the first day O February, and a week later tn, certified copy of the constitution may be submitted to the President Then it goes to Congress for it's ap proval.
