HOUSE WITHHoLDS APPROVAL OF
CONSTITUTIONS OF NEW
MEXICO AND ARIZONA.
THE PEOPLE MUST SAY
WHETHER APPROVED OR REJECT.
ED, THE CONSTITUTIONS
WILL STAND.

Washington. - The joint resolution
admitting Arizona and New Mexico to
immediate statehood, but Withholding
approval OF the constitutions of both
until the people have voted on pro-
OF Representatives by viva voce
vote No roll call was demanded on
the final vote.
The resolution requires Arizona to
vote on an amendment removing the
recall provision as it applies to
judges; and requires it to vote on an
amendment making its constitution
more easily amendable.
Neither state is required to adopt
the amendments proposed by Con-
gress.
Whether they are approved or re-
jected by the proposed referendums,
the constitutions of the new states
will stand finally approved when the
respective votes have been taken.
The admission resolution passed in
the form proposed by the Democratic
majority of the committee, on terri
tories.
cans to force Arizona to vote out of
its constitution the recall of judges;
and to give the immediate and un-
qualified approval to the New Mexi
can constitution. Both provisions were
rejected singly, and, later. when Mr..
Mann embodied them in a motion to
recommit the measure, they were
voted down.
The Democrats said the proposal to
force Arizona to reject the recall was
an effort TO keep that state out Of
the union.
The Democratic resolution, said the
chairman of the territories committee.
presented the fairer method, namely.
to leave to the people the determine.
tion of the recall question.
Notwithstanding this attitude, lead
ing Democratic orators bitterly de-
nourced the recall of judges, while
Republican insurgents refused to join
minority leader Mann in the proposal
to force Arizona to give it up.
Representative Martin w. Littleton
of New York made a strong attack in
the afternoon, not only on the recall,
but upon the initiative and referen-
dun.
Representative Houston of Tennes-
see, Democrat, said the recall would
be ret only an innovation but source
of danger to the integrity of the
courts.
M. Houston contended that the ju-
dietary of the country was on too high
plane to have its integrity threatened
by popular recall at any time.
Mr. Houston was followed by Mr..
Littlcton, Democrat, who made his
maiden speech in the House, saying:
at will strike from the splendid
structure Of free government the arch
upon which it has come to rest with
