Guthrie Okla, July 31.-Tax payers
this morning filed written objections
to the capital petition filed for Okla
homa City on July 21 Gonteading that

to amendment q the constitution for
the permanent location of the capital

after the last general election, when
the same question carried or failed

try at this time.
Something more than year ago Mr.
Jones submitted to this syndicate of
New York bankers proposition look

tempt the street car line, or if they
did they preferred to build the inter-
urban first and later the street rail
way, thus looking more favorably on
the interurban proposition.
