Consents to an Amendment to Enab
lino Act Regarding Admission of
Arizona and New Mexico Into the
Union.
WASHINGTON, D. C, April 10
In order to avoid passing on the vex
ed question of the recall of the Ju
dicium , which It was expected would
Influence htm to veto the new Ariz
ont constitution, President Taft to
day consented to an amendment t(
the enabling act regarding the ml mis
sltm to statehood of Arizona and
Now Mexico.
The president told Congressman
Flood, chnlrman of the committee on
territories, that he favored the sug
gested amendment, which probabh
will pass soon, thus innklng congress
alone responsible for Arizona's ad
mission. Tho New Mexico constitution,
which Is regarded as reactionary, It
said to be satisfactory to President
Taft.
Senator Owen said:
"There Is no reason why "President
Taft should not be excused from pass
lug on tho question. Other states
have been admitted without subject
ing their constitutions to the presi
dent's approval. There Is no provis
ion in the United States Constitution
bearing on the subject which in each
wns wns Koverneed by the terms of
.the congressional enabling act."
