KILL THE BILL!
GuTHRIE'S ANSWER.

The governor has asked the cities
of Guthrie, Shawnee and Oklahoma
City to submit options on from $40
to 1000 acres OF lands for the loca-
tion OF the state capitol buildings, as
provided for in that townlot bill from
Oklahoma City.
That would not be bad, II the pro-
posed bill were other than a scheme
to loot the taxpayers OF this state.
Under that bill Guthrie does not
wish the permanent location of the
state capital.
Guthrie believes the bill should be
killed.
Guthrie believes no city of the state
can afford the state capital under
the terms Of that Ledbetter menace
to taxpayers.
Under the terms of the Ledbetter
bill, and favorable commissioners, any
city could afford to give 1000 acres OF
land-"as q starter
No honest proposition can be adj
vanoed to go with the bill now be-
fore the electorate, decision day June
1.-THE bin is so rotten nothing but
death can clarity the atmosphere
through which it passes.
1t is verify the crime OF 1910
Moreover, II the bill carries, aside
from his right to appoint the capitol
commission, the governor has no way
10 safeguard the people of the state
That bin purposely left oG all hope
of the taxpayers having sembIance Of
protection.
ANY proposition made by Guthrie
would Indicate the people of our city
were willing to put up with the town
lot monstrosity Ii we won the election
That is not true
Guthrie is an unit to kill the bill.
When the time for the location of
the capital is legally here; under
the terms of bill as enacted by the
Legislature q this state, as provided
for In the constitution of Oklahoma,
adopted by the people thereof, Guth
ric will present her statment Of what
1t Will and can do.
Until that time there should be no
capital contest and the present one
Is the most disastrous BLOW at civic
progress that has hit Central Okla
homa since long before statehood.
No proposition, however fair and
however well backed by men of hon
or and worldly goods, could ever
cleanse from that townlot scheme the
viciousness of purpose which con-
ceiyed 1t, and the wickedness Of it's
conception is only excelled by the
cursedness of its birth.
1t is no more the fight of Guthrie,
(Saye that the temporary capital is
located here) than that of the people
of every other city, town, hamlet and
rural community within the confines
of Oklahoma.
Guthrie makes answer to the "pro-
posal':
II Is the same as she has made
throughout the entire campaign on the
bill. and 1t is--
KILL THE BILL
Vote NO and be sure to vote.

10 Avolp eRAFT.

An Oklahoma city new spaper with
a great pretense OF wishing 10 aVold
a vigorous campaign for the loot OF
townlot scheme measure, gives utter
ance to this:
"Tell why Oklahoma city Is not en-
titled to the state capital and cease
SANDER" 49, !.
The question of what city Is entitled
10 be the capital OF the state can not
be brought forward in this campaign.
The proposed measure is one where
in three men are to be empowered
to enter into a state real estate busl-
ness. os, ensibly to build state cap
ltal. in reality to loot The state tax
payers.
No city should be made the capital
under the terms Of this bin.
The bill would improylsh the state,
bring on unending expense and even
worse, litigation, and, in the end, put
the Pennsylvania capital scandal to
shame.
The greedy spirits who drew the
bill are so hogsish they would not
even wait for the money to come
Trough the usual channels-they ac-
tually specified they must have sGoO,-
800 "as d starter.
To avoid the graft which must fol-
low the making of the proposed bill
law Is possible only by defeat
of the measure at the polls June IL.
There Is no use entering into an ar
gument as to the fitness of any or
,tt nf "A
afford TO ask the taxpayers to throw
money into such vicious measure
as the proposed bill No city should
have the right to be made the seat
of government through the channels
of loot and wild money rapaclty.
When the cities of the state wish
10 stand on their merits and propose
to the people OF the state what they
will do to become the permanent cap
ital then. and not until then will the
merits of the vaflous cities be sub
iect matters for discussion in the
state capital fight.
Today crisis Is at hand.
Schemers have as skllfully as they
could. drawn a bill which in itself
pells graft, seek TO have the people
vote II into law. for the purpose oi
looting the state strong box.
Those schemcrs wisely refrain from
discussion of the measure before The
peuple They want to discuss cities,
he growth prosperity and possible
ties.
They are wise In refraining fromi
discussing he 'nesSure in ITSELF |
hey want no close investigation OF
heir plans.
They want the money sg0'l0O0 ''as

an, after hard study and long plan
ling. get the people shaken loose

AS 70 CLAIMS MADE.


So flagrantly wrong Is the capital
removal bill 1t has not been neees-
sary TO speak Of tho various good
things which tend toward making
the location Of the state capitol
building, but, prehaps, it is proper to
call attention to one boast the re-
meval squadrons are holding forth
as to the sanitary advantages, beauty
OF site, etc. 1t Is well known fact
that the state metropolis has the poor
est drainage OF any city of consider
able size of oklahoma: the sewage
system is that in name only, as the
river, in event of an ordinary rain,
persists in flowing through the streets
much to the displeasure of those hav-
ing all acute sense Of smell.
No one doubts these defects can
and will be remedied; no one but
trusts it may be accomplished at an
early date, for progressive citizens
of the new state wish all advantages
possible enjoyed and all defects cor
rected, that all Of us may not only
thrive, but be happy and healthy.
But of the three cities, Oklahoma City
townlot boomers put into this contest
the metropolis has less to offer from
sanitary and beauty standpoints.
Located down in the bottoms and ex-
pending vast sums to get water that
is even fit to use, the, limit of pre-
varication is certainly attained when
the boomer speakers and the ltera-
ture departments affirm Oklahoma
City has superior sites and better
water and sewage than a city like
Guthrie, sitting on a high knoll and
with the present state capitol site,
one Of the beauty spots of the entire
state, and few states east OF the
Rocky mountains can show more beau
tiful spots than oklahoma.
