STATEHOOD BILL
MAY BE VETOED
BY PRES. TAFT

WASHINGTON Aug. IL The
bill granting statehood to New Mex
leo and Arizona legislation that has
been for many years the dream
of the people of those territories,
was passed by the senate, So to Is,
after the rejection of the Nelson
amendment which proposed striking
out of the Arizona constitution its
judiciary recall provision.
The bill as passed by the senate
differs only slightly from the house
measure, and it is said may be UNI
satisfactory to President Taft. IIeI
has commended all along that he
would be glad to sign the statehood
bill if the Nelson amendment pre-
vailed, but that it was a grave ques
ton whether he would be willing,
to sign it if the amendment was
defeated, as it was by 43 to 26. The
| indications are that the bill will
become a law without his signature.
The senate amended the house bill
with two minor changes regarding
the manner of voting in New Next
co on proposed amendments to its
constitution. These will undoubtedly
be agreed to by the house and
the bill will be expedited to the
white house These amendments
were reported by the senate COM
mittee on territories and agreed to
without debate.
Practically all the debate on the
bill conferred around the Nelson
amendment Even some senators
who declared their opposition to the
recall of judges, voted against the
the people of Arizona desired recall
as part of their system of govern
ment it was for them and not fol
congress to say whether they should
have it.
The bill as passed compels Ari
IONA, as condition precedent t.
entry in the Union, to- submit thu
recall proposition to the voters TO
final decision as to whether it shall
remain in their constitution. New
Mexico must veto on a proposition
embodied in the bill which woul
make the constitution of the stat
easier of amendment.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO LABOR DAY?

Labor Day-Monday, September 4is fast
approaching, and it behooves the citizens of Ton
opah to busy themselves and see that the day
is properly observed. Tonopah is the strongest
union town in the state and should by all means
observe this day Other towns in this state
are now making preparations for the appropriate
celebration of Labor Day, and the Bonanza
would suggest that the Miners union in this
city take the lead and see that something lis
doing on September 4
Labor day is a legal holiday in all states
and territories except Nevada, North Dakota
and Wyoming. In Louisiana it is only observed
in the parish of New Orleans. The celebration
of this day was observed by the Knights of
Labor, who in 1882 held parade in New York,
and again in 1884, when resolutions were passed
to hold the parades that day.
Workingmen of all organizations then be-
gan an agitation to have the day made legal
holiday, and in 1887 the first law to that effect
was passed in Colorado. In Europe the cele-
bration of the first of May as Labor Day was
begun in 1890 with demonstration in favor of
the eghthour day. 1t was at that time and
for few years later violently opposed by the
various governments and there were many
clashes between the police and soldiers and the
Workingmen.

The Bryces and Gould-Decies Wedding

Decies and her daughter, Hon. Mrs.
Wilkerson, bore down upon the capital
for a nice little visit with the former
naval attache of the American en-
bassy at London and Mrs. Gibbons.
When the visitors arrived they were
promptly and fearfully feasted after
noon and evening-at the homes Of
smart society, at the country clubs,
and, incidentally, over to the White
House they journeyed one pleasant
afternoon and drank five o'clock tea
with Mrs. Taft Next thing everybody
knew the Dowager Lady Decies was
dining over at the British embassy.
Now the story goes that the ambas
sador didn't go to the wedding because
he isn't fond of wearing his gold-laced
clothes. Mrs. Bryce, who has a naive
ly frank enjoyment of the glamour and
glitter of ambassadorial prominence
and such internationally glorious
International events as the Gould-De-
cies wedding, likes nothing better
than to get properly fixed up and be
among those present" and she was
MT pleased a bit when the am
bassador shrugged his scholarly Shout
ders and, thinking how much more
comfy he would be sitting at home
with a nice well-thumbed book on his
knee stopped pat in Washington
However, Mrs. Bryce, like the wise and
obedient wife she is, put her glori-
Gus raiment and contented herself with
reading the newspaper accounts of ,he
great event.

Statehood Advocates Invade Capital

fend those who are sticklers for up
holding the dignity Of the judiciary.
The Arizona men say a good judge
who doesn't become inoculated with
corporation and trust microbes has
nothing to fear from the recall, but
that the official life of Judge who
leans away from the law might be
shortened by the recall provision, and
it was to provide for such cases that
it was made applicable to the judiciary
as well as other offices.
The gist of the Arizona argument to
a cornered congressman was:
After our recent election 90 per
cent of the people voted to approve
the constitution. We know what we
want We know what Arizona needs,
Why don't you let us have the consti-
tuition we made and approved? Let us
attend 10 our own affairs-we are
plenty able to do it,
1t was a strong committee that
came on from Arizona, though not as
business men all over the state volun-
teered to join the invasion of Washing
ton If it was thought their presence
would help.
The committee was carefully select
ed from among the volunteers and
instead of chartering a special train
and making a junket out of the trip,
each member came on his own ac-
count, regarding it as serious bust
ness matter, rather than a pleasure

VIZ ASHINGTON was invaded recently
w by an army of leading politicians
and business men from Arizona and
New Mexico, who came to urge con
gress to take favorable action on
statehood for these territories.
1t had been supposed this action
could be taken by the president and
statehood accomplished by proclama-
ton, in case congress should adjourn
without acting. But the statehood
boomers found that Attorney General
Wickersham held differently. He says
the enabling act contains an alterna-
tive clause making approval by joint
resolution necessary.
To the constitution submitted by
New Mexico the principal objection Of
fered came from those who wanted a
statewide prohibition article incorpo-
rated. The objection raised against the
Arizona constitution has been that it
contains sweeping recall provision
applying TO the judiciary as every 9th
or elective Office
Under the Arizona constitution the
people can recall the judges of any
court and the provision is said to Of
