Section 1. It is hereby ordained, irrevocable without the consent of the United States and the people of the State of Arizona:

That provisions shall be made for the establishment and maintenance of a system of public schools which shall be open to all the children of the State of Arizona and free from sectarian control; and that said schools shall always be conducted in English.

That said State shall never enact any law restricting or abridging the right of suffrage on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude, and that ability to read, write, speak and understand the English language sufficiently well to conduct the duties of the office without the aid of an interpreter shall be a necessary qualification for all State officers and members of the State legislature.

That the capital of the State of Arizona shall, until changed by the electors voting at an election provided for by the legislature of said State for that purpose, be at the City of Phoenix, but no election shall be called or provided for prior to the thirty-first day of December nineteen hundred and twenty-five.

That there be and are reserved to the United States, with full acquiescence of the State, all rights and powers for the carrying out of the provisions by the United States of the Act of Congress entitled "An Act appropriating the receipts from the sale and disposal of public lands in certain states and territories to the construction of irrigation works for the reclamation of arid lands." approved June seventeenth, nineteen hundred and two, and acts amendatory thereof or supplementary thereto, to the same extent as if said State had remained a territory.

That whenever hereafter any of the lands contained within any Indian reservations or allotments in said State shall be allotted, sold, reserved, or otherwise disposed of, they shall be subject for a period of twenty-five years after such allotment, sale, reservation, or other disposal, to all the laws of the United States prohibiting the introduction liquor into the Indian country.

That the State and its people consent to all and singular the provisions of the Act of Congress enabling the people of Arizona to form a constitution and State government and be admitted into the Union on an equal footing with the original states, approved June twentieth, nineteen hundred and ten, concerning the lands granted by said Act or confirmed to the State, the terms and conditions upon which said grants and confirmations are made, and the means and manner of enforcing such terms and conditions, all in every respect and particular as in said Act provided.
