Omnibus Statehood Bill Introduced in House
The House considers an omnibus bill to grant separate statehood to New Mexico and Arizona. New Mexico would gain two representatives, Santa Fe as capital until 1920, extensive land grants for schools and public works, and attached to the Eighth Judicial Circuit. Arizona would receive one representative, Phoenix as capital until 1920, similar land grants, and comparable provisions. Hearings are set for next week with likely rapid action.
