of the committee favoring the admission
of Oklahoma and Indian Territory as one

The majority of the reports say thatthe
state of "Oklahoma" may ba admitted as
soon as the constitution is adopted and
the state of "Arizona" may be added not
earlier than seven and not later than
eleven months after approval of the act.
Each state is divided in two judicial dis
tricts. Oklahoma is allowed five members
and Arizona tw j numbers in the 'nation
al house of congress. . A'proper provision
was made for nonsectrian schools and for
the teaching of English. Suffrage is well

the debts of the territories. The capital
of Oklahoma is fixed at Guthrie and in
Arizona at Santa Fe until 1916, when the
capitals may be established by elections.
