From the Dispatch. December 49,
From many parts of Arizona let
tiers have gone on to Chairman Ham
tories in the House, author of the
new statehood bill. asking him to in
corporate in the enabling act a pro
vision upholding the educational
qualification which is at present
part of Arizona's new election law.
The Hamilton bill affirms the laws
in the territory as they now exist,
but the question has arisen as to
whether or not this feature would
be sufficiently well defined in the
enabling act without special mention
of it, and there seems to be a gen.
eral desire to have this clause ex-
plicitly made a part of the bill.
Few people oppose the educa-
tionai qualification. This in a spe-
cial sense in Arizona. because it az
fects very few people. except Tor
good. Arizona is largely populated
with a citizenship which has drifted
in from the live districts of the
country. and the proportion of citi
zens who could not stand the edu-
cational test is remarkably limited
in scope. The law bars only those
from voting who cannot read and
speak the English language. Il does
not take a very strong-minded per

comply with this simple demand. is
not very well qualified to vote OF
any measure or law proposed in the
territory. He is unable to read the
