ARIZONA ELECTION

Governor Says New State Will
Be in Operation by End of
Fiscal Year
TERRITORY is FL0URlSHING
Output of Mines for 1909 Will
Amount to Gross Value of
$42,946,745

WASHINGTON Dec. 1S.-The cleo
tion on the adoption or rejection of the
constitution for Arizona probably will
be held by January 15, 1911, and if
adopted, the constitution may be in the
hands of the president and congress for
approval before the end of the present
session, according to the annual report
of Richard E. Sloan, territorial gov
ernor of Arizona.
If this program is carried out, he
says, there is every reason to expect
the new state government will be in
operation by the end of the present
fiscal year"
Discussing the matter further, Gov
eTnor Sloan says:
1--WE anticipate such benefits from
admission that the prospect of any
considerable delay or the possibility
that the constitution may not be ap-
proved are matters of grave concern
to the people of the territory"
Prosperity continues in the territory,
according to reports. Crops have been
good, especially in the irrigated sec
tions. Prices for farm products, he
SAYS, have a tendency to increase, while
the prices of land under ditch with
water rights also have increased some
what.
The output of the mines. including
copper, gold. silver. lead and zinc. for
the year 1909 amounted to gross value
of $42, ,946,745, a substantial increase
over the preceding year.
Governor Sloan recommends that
congress be requested to make provision
for the contingency which may arise
from the admission of the territory ex-
tending beyond the present fiscal year.
by authorizing the levy of taxes for
the payment of expenses of the terri
torial government for the fiscal years
1912 and 1918. and authorizing such
appropriations as may be needed for
that purpose.
Under the terms of the enabling act
no session of the territorial legislature
NAV be held in 1911.

NO HOPE FOR STATEHOOD

Tidings from Washington

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 1s.--Governor
Sloan who has just returned from
Washington states that it is his firm
conviction that there is absolutely no
hope of statehood through ratification
of proposed constitution for Arizona
and positively no hope that it will
meet with congressional and presiden-

is based on personal conferences with
senators and representatives, Republi-
can, Democratic and some Progress
sives. He states that the initiative, ref
erendum and recall will not pass mus
ter and that the only hope for state
hood is the defeat of the constitution
in Arizona and construction of a new

Another thing-there are no sectarian

Mr. Gates was understood to mean that
there will be a gradual merger, along

place the amount with which the Foun-

Will Retire from Other Corporations as
Soon as Possible and Devote His
Entire Time to Work Of Rookie
Teller Foundation and Fortune.

New York. March 3.--Among chart
ties the new Rockefeller Foundation
is to become what the Standard Oil Co.
has long been among corporations, and
John d. Rockefeller, Jr, at its head,
will in another sphere of influence
perpetuate the domination so long
maintained in the world of industry
by John d. Rockefeller, Sr., as presi-
dent Of the Standard.
The younger man announced today
that he had recently retired from the
directorate of the Standard to assume
the management of his fathers bene-
factions of which he thus becomes
almoncr- in chief. No succ, or has
been named to fill his place in the Oil
Co. and from - the board has been
cut to IA. The announcement was
taken in Wall Street to mean two
things-that all past estimates OF
young Rockefeller's future must now
be revised, and that hereafter the
Rockefeller millions will no longer be
a market factor Instead, it is assum-
ed they will pass wholly into conser-
vatiVe securities, such as it IS proper
for trust funds. savings banks and in
Surance companies to acquire. In
brief, they will no longer be available
for the development Of the resources
of the nation, but must be gradually
distributed among the successes al
ready assured of q stable income.
John d. Rockefeller, Jr., is now 33
years old. Greeted on his graduation
from Brown University. l6 years ago,
ds in prospect the richest young man
OF the world, he now leaves the field
to J. Pierpont Morgan, Jr.. 10 years
his elder. Mr.. Morgan. Sr.. and Mr.
Rockefeller. ST., are both very near of
an age The former viii be 70 next
April and the latter was 20 last July.
Both are in vigorous health.
Young Rockefeller's retirement from
the Standard, which virtually took
place on Jan. II, assumes a greater
consistency with the gradual narrow
ing in recent years of his financial ac-
tivities-a phenomenon hitherto not
understood as he showed no inclina-
ton to play the country gentleman or
the sporting man, as have other sons
of millionaireS. such for instance, as
Alfred Vanderbilt and FoXhall Keene.
He is still on the directorate of the
