Washington. Following the re-
ceipt of President Taft's emphatic veto
of the statehood resolution, final at
tempt to secure statehood for New
Mexico and Arizona began in both
houses of Congress.
His veto message, denouncing the
judiciary recall feature OF the Arizona
constitution, was received in the
House with long applause from the
Republicans.
1t was referred to the territories
committee of that body with the We
toed resolution, Chairman Flood prom
Using prompt action.
With the announcement of the
Presidents veto, and following a con-
ference with President Taft, Senator
Smith of Michigan, chairman of the
Senate territories committee, intro
duced a new statehood resolution,
meeting the Presidents views and
providing for the admission of both
states on the condition that Arizona
strike the recall of judges provision
ITOm ltS new
THE territories need statehood, and
this is the only way they can obtain
it, said Mr.. Smith
A canvass of the House was taken
Chairman Flood expressed the opinion
that the resolution could secure two
thirds of the House membership on
repassage, but many Democrats are
not so confident.
In case the attempt to override the
veto fails. there are many Democrats
in the House who will support reso-
luton similar to the one introduced by
Senator Smith
Mr.. Smith has called a special meet
ing of the Senate territories commit
tee to consider his resolution. Mr..
Smith said although an attempt to
pass the statehood bill over the Pres
ident's veto should fail, there still was
a good chance of statehood legislation
at this session.
Senator Bacon of Georgia declared
in the Senate that many senators
were being misrepresented because OF
their stand on the statehood bill. He
took objection to publications tina:
those who voted for the admission of
New Mexico and Arizona voted in IA
vor of the recall of judges.
Il am opposed to the initiative, ref
erendum and recall of judges" he
declared, land yet voted for the bill
because / am of the opinion that al
though l disagreed with the Arizona
constitution, we had no right tc keep
the people of Arizona from having the
recall if they wanted it,"
President Taft's reason for eXercis-
ing the executive power of veto was
based on his thorough disapproyal OF
the recall OF judges clause in the Ari-
iona constitution. The fact that New
Mexico's statehood was bound UP with
that of Arizona melted out to her the
same fate.
The President did not spare words
in condemning the recall feature OF
the Arizona constitution which. he
said, would compel judges to make
their decisions under legalized terror
ISM The recall provision would OPP
crate against all elective officers Of
Arizona, including both county and
state judges. When twenty-five per
cent of the voters of the previous cleo
ton petitioned for special election
to remove an official, such an election
would be compulsory.
