SIDETRACKS
STATEHOOD
Washington, Jan. 1 President Taft's
; prediction on statehood will hardly be
borne out by the present session of con-
gress. as it now seems probable that state-
hood legislation will not go beyond giving
authority to the people of New Mexico
and Arizona to hold constitutional con-
ventions.
During the last session of the Sixtieth
congress the house passed a bill to admit
both New Mexico and Arizona as separate
states. Some of the senators dbl not like
! the look of some of the private land grants
and the bill failed.
! Taft's present • program does not lu-
1 elude statehood bills at the present session
