Executive Order of June 14, 1879, temporarily withdrawing from sale and settlement for Indian uses all of townships 1 and 2 north, ranges 5 and 6 east, in Arizona, lying south of the Salt River, is hereby amended so as to withdraw permanently from settlement, entry, sale, or other disposition all that part of section 35 in township 2 north, range 5 east, of the Gila and Salt River meridian, lying south of the Salt River, for use of the Pima and Maricopa Indians and such other Indians as the Secretary of the Interior may see fit to settle thereon, subject to any existing valid rights of any persons thereto.
Nothing, however, halts business and interferes with the course of prosperity so much as the threatened revision of the tariff.
In other words, the resolution approves the admission of Arizona with the judicial recall, unless the voters themselves repudiate it.
Pledged to support a policy of moderate protection, I can not approve a measure which violates its principle.
