cerning the attitude of Mr.. l. B.
Tigrett in regard to the State

the Banner correspondent called
his attention to these articles ana

He stated he was not in symp"~

and that it is his desire to no lon
ger serve as a member OF this
board. and though he' had been
invited to meet with the board
next Wednesday, he had not yet
consented to do SO, and for more
elaborate statement of his position
end convictions concerning the
matter he referred me to state
ment published Sunday morning 3
in the Daily Sun of this city, which
paper he controls. 1t is asf follows:

PRESIDENT TAFT AND
The STATEHOOD VETO
"The people OF .4riz0n0 W0uld better lose Stute-
hood than yield their right to control their
State 90UeT1an1ent. Ex-senator Bourne of ore.


has done all in his power to
kill statehood for Arizona and
New Mexico by vetoing the
statehood measure, after be-
ing passed by Congress, we
wish to call attention to his
speeches made in Phoenix,
Prescott and Albuquerque, on
his tour through the terrific
ries, and we leave it to our
readers to decide whether
President Taft meant a word
of what he wanted the people
to believe & truth. The
speeches, in part, are as fol-
lows:
Il first will say that l will not
veto bill letting New Mexico
in (applause) and second, that |
shall recommend that the prom
ise of the republican platform
upon which had the honor to
be elected president, shall be car
ried out in good faith; and that
the territories of Arizona and
New Mexico shall be admit ted
to the union so that we shall
have nothing but states between
the Atlantic and Pacific.
But, that in the course of this
administration you will come in
and come in as full fedged
state and come in with a good
constitution sincerely and
profoundly hope-and l mean to
bend every effort that | can to
bring it about. Speech of Pres
ident Taft to the people of New
Mexico at Hotel Alvarado, AL
buquerque, October Is, 1909.
"Now, | had the honor to adj
dress an audience at the capital
of your territory this morning
and IN the course of those re.
marks, | VENTURED THE
PROPHECY THAT YOU
WOULD HAVE STATEHOOD
IN THE NEAR FUTURE. [
DID SO BECAUSE THE RE
PUBLICAN PLATFORM, UPON
WHICH | HAD THE HONOR
TO BE ELECTED, PROMISED
THAT STATEHOOD TO ARI-
IONA AND NEW MEXICO,
SEPARATELY. AM NOT,
HOWEVER,, THE LEGISLA-
SURE OF THIS GOVERNMENT
AND ALL [ CAN DO Is TO
PROPHESY, NOT PROMISE" !"
In the course of this same
speech. President Taft also said:
MAKE YOUR CONSTITU-
TION PROGRESSIVE, IF YOU
WISH. BUT DO NOT LEGIS-
LATE THEREIN. AT Prescott.
In the face of the above
promises by Mr.. Taft, the peo-
pie all know what happened
to that promised statehood
this week, and as he says all
on account of the recall pro-
vision in the Arizona Const1-
tuition. In his speech he re-
fers to a progressive Constltu-
ton. If the Arizona consti-
tuition is not progressive, we
fail to see the reason why.
Why does the idea of dis
grace attach itself to the peo-
pies exercise of their power
to recall a public servant be
fore the expiration of the reg
ular period for which he was
elected? The Kansas City
Times answers the question:
Simply and solely because IN
every instance in which the pow
er has been exerted the conduct
<@f4 4l,o - &c. n .soon 1lo1

be regarded as no more the priv
Ilege of an officer to commit
than embezzlement?
1T IS idle to assume. that the
people would have so little sense
OF talr play that they would re-
call an officer merely out of ca
price. 1t would be equally idle
to assume that even though the
people did recall servant with
whose honest conception of duty
or public policy they disagreed.
disgrace would thereby attach
to the servant"
There is no question in our
mind but what there would be
candidates galore in Navajo
county and all over Arizona
for the office of Judge, men
who would be willing, yes,
anxious to accept the position
OF Judge, with the recall in
effect.
What is the reason for Pres
ident Taft's disapproval of the
Arizona Constitution on that
account? He don't have to
live under our Constitution.
The people have signifled
their desires at the polls in re-
gard to the constitution and
the recall by nearly 90 per
cent. majority. Who are the
people? Have they no choice
what they shall or shall not
have? Do you call the act Of
the President as in accordance
with the saying: eve are a
free American nation and our
laws are made by our people, y
or is it a reflection on the
krAt
same. That is for every in
dividual to decide.
The following is :; a speech,
in part, of Senator Bourne
Rep.) of Oregon, in the
Senate.
81 believe in a direct primary, J"
said Bourne, "including d popu-
lar expression of choice for pres
1dential and vice presidential
candidates.
Any man who was cOmpe-
tent to choose between Mr.. TAFT
and Mr.. Bryan in the last cleo
ton is competent to choose be
tween Mr.. Taft and Mr.. La Fol
lette III the coming primaries. "
"The people of Arizona would
better lose statehood than yield
their right to control their state
government and to the recall of
judges; what a mockery it is to
start constitution with a pre-
ample declaring: eve, the peo-
pie of Arizona, grateful to AL
mighty God for our liberties,
"and then harbor for an instant
the thought of surrendering or
limiting that God-given liberty
at the instance of any man who
happens temporarily to occupy
the office of president"
The people of Arizona are
thinking people. They are in
terested in the problems of gov
ernment. They have too much
independence to submit to dicta-
ton from others. They have the
patriotism to sacrifice even state
hood, If necessary, rather than
yield their political principles.
Their admission to all the priv
lleges of American citizenship
will be an honor to the union
refusal to admit them would be
national disgrace.

A ball on the inside will kill Jackson's
chances at bat. He murders" a fast
