dent would sign such a measure.
Now however, tho Senate commit
tee on territories has reported out the
House bill. with the announcement
that an amendment Will be offered to
the Arizona enabling act providing
that the territory shall vote again on
its constitution, and, If 1t rejects the
recall of judges section, the territory
may become a State automatically
Wide Difference.
There is a wide difference therefore
in the two propositions. One pro-
vides that the troublesome section
may be Incorporated, If the people
say so, and the other provides that
the people must positively reject it.
There seems to be no ground upon
which the House and Senate may get
together within the short time now
remaining of the session.
This is the present legislative sit
uation. Congress il now expected to
adjourn within another month. and 1t
will be impossible TO pass the House
measure In the Senate on account of
the filibuster already threatened. This
hlibuster Will operate as the previous
one did. 1t will keep New Mexico
out of the Union, just as 1t kept that
territory out before.
These two territories are linked In
this legislation for political reasons
solely. New Mexico is Republican.
Arizona is Democratic. When they
are admitted the political division of
the House and Senate viii be un-
changed. Two new Democratic sena-
tors and two new Republican sena-
tors Will take their seats. One Demo
crat and one Republican will begin
service in the House
Therefore the Democrats are OPP
posed to the ADMISSION OF New Mex

a State also. The Republicans are
against the admission Of Arizona I'M
til New Mexico can receive statehood
That Is why the two territories are
coupled. That IL why one party FILL
busters against one territory In order
TO promote statehood for the other,
These Western people, however.
are not discouraged. They have the
pledges OF both national parties in
favor OF statehood. The last national
conventions adopted platforms en-
dorsing the movement. and the citi-
xens of the territories will keep on
demanding statehood until they get
I It.
| The next session of Congress will

again, and the recall of judges Will

whole peculiar problem by declaring
voluntarily for the remuneration OF the
recall section. This territory. how
