ARIZONA-NEVADA NEW
STATEHOOD SUGGESTION
Proposition Succeeds Dead
: to Yoke With
. New Mexico
WASHINGTON FEELER
Hint Thrown Out to See if
It Is Acceptable to
. Territory
Ira E. Bennett
"WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. — Politicians
are discussing a new statehood propo
sition, which contemplates the Junction
of Arizona and Nevada. This would
make a state with a total area of 223.
720 miles and a population of 165,266,
according to the census of^lflOO. The
proposition Is only of the most tenta
tive nature thus far. but Is likely to
arouse considerable discussion If put
forward seriously.
The talk arises as the result of the
announcement last week by authority
of the president that the administra
tion would cease its efforts to yoke
Arizona to . New Mexico. It remains
to be seen -whether the suggestion will
be acceptable to Nevada, which natur
ally -would have to be consulted before
the tmlon could be effected.
- No one appears to know where the
suggestion originated. It is hinted
that It has been thrown out as a feeler
by the administration.
