nination Of Hunt. Winsor. ca. al. Tn the convention to put into the coa- sutution their political platforms for the first statehood election Arizona and New Mexico would both be in the Union now. The only reason for voting down the Arizona constitution in the senate was because of the provisions which many believe do away with representative govern ment Of course the recall of the judiciary was the one fatal blow to our statehood aspirations. We think it about time for Arizona to dis mount from the radical horse and go into the Union The radical flea lures proposed for the constitution can be thrashed out by the people after statehood has been secured. We believe a monster petition from Ari- zona asking for statehood, with the recall of the judiciary eliminated from the constitution, if that is neces- sary to secure the consent of the president, would bring tbe people of the territory out of this statehood gloom Even if 1t were necessary to eliminate the initiative and referen. dunn to secure statehood now we be. lieve that would be the wise thing to do.

She was a gentle. gray-haired body, who re maned unruffled by the small tenn pest raging.

 TANGLE.


 Strange things are in the way of happening in the United States sen ate on the Morning Of March f. There is no way of shutting of de- bate in that body. and when a mass of vital legislation is left to be pas sed at the last gasp, confusion and slap-dash methods are inevitable. Yet there has seldom been a scene
 to match the hours of last Satur- day. when Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma, a resolute and fluent radical. kept the United States of America waiting on his word. says the Sun.
 At noon the life of congress was to expire. and at 1 am the republi- cans brought up a joint resolution conferring statehood on New Mexico. Now New Mexico is expected to re turn two true and staunch republi- cans; while Arizona. the other terri tory knocking at the door, is hand somely democratic. But it was not this partisan difference which brought owen to his feet prepared 1 for an eleven-hour filibuster. New Mexico had adopted a calm and sen sible constitution. whereas the Ari- zonans have gloriously pursued the | Oklahoma idea" and written a con stitution containing the initiative and referendum and recall of the judiciary, among other things. Sc 1 Senator owen eagerly jumped to the defence of Arizona and promptly made it plain that either Arizona would become a state along with New Mexico or else New Mexico, wouIi have to wait.
 His ilibuster was an amazing one and in the end successful Hour af ter hour he talked against time while several of the most important appropriation bills were threatened with defeat He criticized the New

THE TARiFF OUTLOOK.

The extended inquiry into the sen hment of business circles as to the policy of the exera ses5ion, the re. suits of which were reported in the Times yesterday. showed a remark able unity of feeling throughout the country. Still more noteworthy is tom of democratic leaders in the the evidence that the democratic .ealers. with full sense of their re- sDonsibility in the use of the power granted to the party last fall. seem decided to follow the public senti- ment This has not been the GUS past, and it is evidence of a signii cant change in both political and business conditions. says the New York Times.
 Several facts are recognized by the business community One is that substantial reductions in the tariff are demanded and will be approved The second is that the beginning of this reduction must be made through the Canada trade agreement, the prompt ratification of which is ex pected and desired A third is tha; provision for the orderly, fair. i'm l partial. and practical investigation oi the various branches of the tariff should be made through a non-par tisan commission. A fourth is that after the ratification of the agree ment and the passage of a tariff commission bili, the congress should confine itself to one or two sched ules having the most and worst eff feet on the cost of living. and the ! general opinion seems to be thai these should be the wool and wooler schedule and the cotton schedule. J The considerations in favor of s program substantially of this sort though not absolutely convincing. ars strong.

COURT

Continued From Page I) up for argument before the supreme court in March, 1910. fourteen other cases likewise raising the validity of the law and decisions likewise sustaining the constitusionality of the tax, had reached the court They were advanced and heard with the original case. because presumably of vacancies on the bench, the cases were restored to the docket for reargument This reergument occurred in January, 1911.
 The cons:itutionalisy of tAe taS -=.s stiarkeN sroE - ths ssssnt- from which any tax possible of en- actment by congress could be at tackled Prominent among IAe ob- jections to the law vas the argu- ment that the tax was a direct tax, not apportioned, according to the constitution. Some dubbed the tax "a corporation income tax and in valid for the same reasons that the income tax was declared uneon- stitutional in 1895. others claimed that it was a tax on state fran chises and hence was an sRcopsti- tutional interference with the SOW ereinty of he states Another line of objections was based on the argument that as an excise tax. it was not uniform but contained .un- constitutional classifcations. The publicity features of the returns were attacked as taking private property without compensation To all of these objections, the depart ment of justice, through .hs late Solicitor General Lloyd W Bowers. at the first hearing. and through his successor Frederick W. Lehman at the second hearing, made answer
 After the argument of he Rftsen cases. the court took up three other cases involving the tax. In these the principal controversy was over the interpretation of the law. The leading point was whether the tax was to be imposed on "Bossor trusts" organized to hold real es. tate but not incorporated The Boston concerns contended that the tax should be assessed only oR con cerns organized under the statutes of the United States, states or ter ritories. The government argued that business concerns organized under the common law were in cluded within these meant % be taxed.

tTucSon CltfzeTl)
 In a communication to the Arizona Democrat of Phoenix, Hon. Alfred Franklin, democratic member of the late constitutional convention from Maricopa county throws considerable light on the statehood situation. A portion of Mir. Franklin's communica- ton is published in today's Citizen.
 There is a general impression that in the event the president disap- proves the constitution. congress may. at the extra session. pass a new act admitting Arizona under the constitution as adopted and that the president will have no voice In ths matter because the constitution oeie- gates the power to congress the power to create new states.
 As MT. Franklin points out, how ever. such an act must be signed by the president and it is extremely un- likely that Arizona could secure a two-thirds vote in both senate and house to pass such a law over his veto. It Is also reasonable to sup pose that in the event that the presi. dent does disapprove the constitu. tion he would veto bill providing for admission under the same funda. mental law.
 1 MT Franklin does not urge the people of Arizona to refuse statehood 1 if an effort is made to admit. Ari zona by eliminating those features oi [ the constitution said to be objectiin able to the president and many mem bers of congress. On the other hand he advises the people of the territory to be conciliatory, for after all it is statehood that they are seeking. Ii the so-called objectionable features of the constitution are so popular with the people. they may be sub mitted separately after Arizona is admitted to statehood.
 Now that Charley Akers and his delegation have returned to Arizona without delivering the goods as promised. it might be well to send on new delegation composed oi such men as MT. Franklin to urge the claims of the territory for state hood at the special session. They might pull Arizona out of the hole in which Akers and his crowd left it
