Taft Vetoes New Mexico and Arizona Statehood

By Editor

On August 15 President Taft vetoed the joint resolution providing for the admission of New Mexico and Arizona to statehood. His reason for exercising the veto power in this case was his thoro disapproval of the clause in the Arizona constitution providing for the recall of judges. The judicial mind of the President has enabled him to present some strong arguments in favor of his position. More will be said on the subject in a later issue.
