NEW STATUS or STATEHOOD

While it might seem at first glance that the Enabling Act as to Arizona was killed by the vote of the Senate on Saturday, such a con elusion is incorrect. The act is not dead, but it. certainly is in a state of suspended animation, and it is doubtful whether it will regain con seiousness.
 It must be remembered that while the Senate disapprOved the Constitu tion of Arizona, which was in tle providing for the adoption of the Constitution of New Mexico, the de- feat of the amended bill does not extend to the original bill itself. Hence, in the event that the New Mexico Constitution is not disap proved at the next regular session of Congress, that Territory automat- ically becomes state, as the Presi- dent has already approved of its Constitution.
 Even had the Senate vote upon the Arizona Constitution been upon an original bill, such disapproval would not, in itself, have had the effect of nuIlifying the Enabling Act. The lawer house still has the prerogrative of introducing the measure in that branch of Congress, and in the event of its passage, it would naturally go to the upper house for concurrence. It has been declared by some of the cigar store statesmen that Congress at its special session, could and would admit Arizona to Statehood, ] regardless of whether or not the En abling Act was dead letter, but they fail to reckon that such action must subsequently, be ratified by President Taft. In the event of his ! veto, which is more than probable, it ; would require a two.thirds vote in | each house to overcome it, and it is apparent that this strength is not obtainable. It is certain that the required two-thirds vote cannot be mustered in the Senate and it is doubtful whether it is obtainable | even in the new House, which is strongly Democratic. It is known, for instance, that the entire delega- tion of sixteen members from Texas are opposed to the radical features of Arizona's Constitution, and there ale such men as Lloyd of Missouri other Democratic members from the South who are equally and irrevoc- ably hostile. No hope, therefore, can be expected as to the eonsum- nation of Statehood, from the extra session, unless Congress itself materi- ially alters the present Constitution that is now in its hands.
 It is now generally conceded that there does exist in Congress strong opposition to Arizona's Constitution, i as was repeatedly pointed out by the Journal-Miner, prior to the late election.
 In fact, all recent developments point conelusively that the Journal i Miner was right in the beginning, iD urging the election of delegates to the Constitutional convention who would frame an instrument free from experimental legislation and in har mony with the advice given by Pres ident Taft during his visit in this Territory.
