DAILY GLOBE SAYS
 LET TIE RECALL 60
Another Paper Prefers State hood to Radical Measure
 in Constitution

The following Is from the Daily Globe concerning present duty in the matter of statehood The Globe has been one paper that has de- tended the Arizona constitution through thick and thin. It now urges that consent be given for the elimination of the recall of the ju- dietary in order that statehood may be obtained Here is what the Globe says:
 President Taft. according to press and private dispatches, has at last openly declared that he will veto any resolution or bill admitting to the union any state the consti- tuition of which contains a provis- ion for the recall of the judiciary, and Senator Owen, who from the first has been a staunch friend nf Arizona. advises the elimination of that provision from the constitution of Arizona in order that state hood under the present enabling act may be assured
 Congress has no right by elim- ination or otherwise to amend the constitution submitted to 1t by the people of Arizona for approval. as the amendment of a constitution can only be done by the people who make 1t. To resubmit the con stitution at this time would cause undue delay and probably cost Ari zona it's enabling act. It is be lieved that an expression of opiRion from a sufficient number of citizens to make it safely indicative of the prevailing opinion of the territory wired to Washington would warrant action by congress.
 If the opinions favored the elim lination of the recall provision as applied 10 the judiciary so oonox ious to the president, the provision could be eliminated. the constitution as amended by elimination approved by the president, and Arizona would become a state empowered to re amend her constitution to suit her self.
 If the opinions favored standing pat upon the constitution a: framed. executive approval would be withheld probably, the enabling act would die and statehood wou!C be delayed for an indefinite period
 George ". P. Hunt and man, other we'll known leaders of politi cal thought in GIla county are dis posed to stand pat, with full knowl
 edge of what that means for th'
 territory. The Daily Globe take issue with the stand patters.' State hood is paramount even to the feel ings of the men who framed tn constitution The Daily Globe Is fu ly conscious of the fact that thos men labored long and hard ( frame fundamental law whic would give to the people of Arizon | every possible political right as the saw it, and that to be compelle now to yield to the will of the pre- ident is not palatable. but It is als conscious of the fact that the el abling act under which we ar working gives the president th I power he now invokes and that tb people of Arizona must bow to k (
 go without statehood for an indei nite period.
 Statehood Is the paramount sue at the moment. and if tk F elimination from the constitution { 5 the clause in it providing for Il
 recall of the judiciary will g
 statehood for us. the clause shou
 be eliminated The clause can I reinstated in the constitution
 the second election held by the ci E lizens of the new state.
 There is too much at stake. Tn T is no time to bandy words in f
 tie argument as to whether or n
 the president should dictate to u II people of Arizona what chey shr . or shall not have in tksir oonstit
