The final decision is now in the hands of the voters. They must de- eide for or against statehood under the present conditions and it ap- pears that there is only one alter native. There are a great many people in Arizona who have lived here for more than twenty years They have been a part of the growth and development of this territory. Some have belonged to the large army of wage earners: others have engaged in the practice of their pro- tession; others have invested their capital in small and large industrial enterprises. The laws of Arizona have compared favorably with those of other states and our legislatures and public officers have been singular Iy free from corruption and graft. Our elections have been an honest expression of the majority of the peo- ole and the "rotten borough" has been unknown within our boundaries. Arizona has been good place to make one's home. Our public schoo system compares very favorably with the older states. During all these years the people of Arizona have lived and prospered without the benefits (?) of the Initiative, Referen dunn and Recall. At the best these propositions are new and experim ental in the affairs of government. Il it worth while, for the sake of these "isms' and experiments to place statehood in the balance?
 For the sake of argument, admit ting that these s'debatable provisions are desirable innovations in our re publican form of government, unles we secure statehood first, we canno apply them. If president Taft dis approves our constitution we hav' lost all. If we secure statehood first and a majority of our people wan them, we can secure them quickly either by legislative enactment o amendment of the constitution at later day.
The copper era., 1910-12-30

The people are now informed as to the situation as it exists in Washing ton (not as we would like to have it exist). It is a condition that we are compelled to face. The common sense thing to do is to secure state hood first then we can settle these "debatable provisions" at home among ourselves without any outside interference. If we lose the prize of statehood now it will be years before we have another opportunity and during continuance of out territorial vassalage we will at all times be sub feet to the legislative enactments of congress. Joint statehood with New Mexico is still danger to be reckoued with as long as Arizona and New Mexico remain territories. 1t is a splendid virtue to be patriotic and liberty loving but our liberties are not threatened-it is the issue or statehood that is in danger. The Arizona constitution amply protects the liberty and pursuit of happiness of our people without the initiative, referendum and recall. Surely we can afford to struggle along for short time without them in order to secure the great benefit of ~+7teNoo'. Once we get statehood the '" %. the majority ot the people ot Ar'z "a will be supreme, but in order to gain this desired end, we should follow the good advice of that good friend ct Arizona-Seuator Jos. Bailey aud eliminate those "debatable provi- sions" which at the present time invite defeat at Washington. Be careful how you vote. The greatest issue in the history of Arizona is al stake.

The All Important Question.


 The all imk ortant question in Ari- zoua today, and one that will remain uppermost in the minds of the people until the election on February g, is the adoption or rejection of the con- stitution. The latest developments affecting the issue have been the in- terview given out by Governor Sloan upon his return from Washington and the reply to the Governor made by G. w. P. Hunt, President of the constitutional convention. The Governor is emphatic in his declaTa- tions that the President and Congress will not approve the Arizona constitu- tion. The President of the con- veution. Mir. Hunt, expresses the belief, that notwithstanding the statement of the Governor upon his return from Washington, that the President and congress will approve the constitution (which MT. Hunt characterizes as one of the best con stitutions ever written.) Embodied in the two interviews we fiud the issue which now confronts the voter. It is regrettable, indeed, that Ari- zona's constitution must bear the stamp of approval of the authorities at Washington before we can come in as state, but such are the terms of our enabling act. The passage of such an enabling act was an injustice to our people and a reflection upon our citizenship but an unfriendly congress surrounded our enabling act with these obstacles, which, in order to secure statehood, it is incumbent upon us to surmouur. There is every reason to believe that Governor Sloan speaks authoratively when he says he knows the President will not ap- prove the Arizona constitution in its nresent from. The Governor has come direct from an interview with the President and those who know Governor Sloan know that he would not deceive the people of Arizona in this matter. In the opinion of Presi- dent Hunt it is reasonable to sup pose that the wish is father to the thought. MT. Hunt was prominent figure in the late constitutional con- vention and naturally feels keen interest in the result of the ratifca- tiou election. The issue IS clearly defined: Shall the people of Arizona ratify the constitution at the election on February9 g and send it to certain defeat at the White House, or will they, by their votes, instruct the constitutional delegates to reassemble, eliminate the "debat' able provisions" and make statehood for Arizona certain. Are the de beatable provisions so precious and so necessary to our welfare and happiness that we cannot foregC them for short period In order tt secure the priceless boon of state hood?

The majority of the people of Ari- zona-the great majority of the peo- pie, are in earnest about statehood. Arizona offers inducements for im- migration and capital. There would be great influx of both on the ad- mission of Arizona as a state. His tory would undoubtedly repeat itself in our case and Arizona would take it's place of importance in the Union 10 which it is justly entitled. The statehood prize is within our grasp It would be the heighth of folly to send our constitution against a stone wall in Washington. Arizona has the opportunity of lifetime now to secure statehood. When this op' portuuity is gone the long struggle must be made over again.

* Jehovah. who shall sojourn
- in thy tabernaclef
Who shall dwell in thy holy hills
, He that walketh uprightly, and
worketh righteousness.
And speaketh truth in his heart;
3 He that slandere,h not with
his tongue.
Nor doeth evil TO his friend.
Nor taketh up a reproach
against his neighbor;
In whose eyes a reprobate is
despised.
But who honoreth them that
fear Jehovah;
He that sweareth to his own
hurt. and changeth not;
3 He that putteth not out his
money to interest.
Nor taketh reward against the
innocent.
He that doeth these things shall
never be moved.
