CONCLUDING ARGUMENT
Burford, Hornor and Dale in
Talks UNFOLDING the
Enabling Act

Guthrie attorneys spoke for an
hour and a half this afternoon in clos
Ing arguments Oh the several grave
questions at issue in the capital loca-
ton case. ]. II. Burford led off at the
convening of court at 1880, and spoke
half an hour. He took UP the Indiana
enabling act, which put In a land tax
exemption binding on the state for
five years.
As to the Oklahoma enabling act
Judge Campbell asked what was the
purpose OF congress.
Judge Burford said he apprehended
that It was on account OF the unsetfl
ed. conditions In the territories, par
ticularly in the Indian territory, and
as a matter OF caution TO prevent
bloodshed
Judge Burford contended that tho

damages? II Coyle could make this
suit stand it would amount to turning
over the government to private indi-
viduals.'
Rights of the state were strongly
presented by Judge Bnrwell He said
that In this instance the rights of the
state had been invaded as in no other
instance, in that congress says that
the state must not spend its money.
Congress says even the legislature of
the state cannot change the capital.
Even the people can't do it, under that
view. If this matter of location should
60 over and future legislature should
undertake to locate the capital, gov
ernor favorable TO Guthrie, for in
stance, could veto it. The people,
therefore, are not left free, even, after
1918, to locate their own capital.
A Dramatic Moment.
The most dramatic moment OF the
entire hearing came when Judge Bur
well reached the height OF his states
right argument in saying:
Gould there be anything more de-
grading to state than to be without
power to locate It's own capital? Is
there anything more deplorable than
inability to convene its own legislature
IN place free from communicating In
fluences? The location of the capital
by the state MAY not affect the fed
eral government, but location by the
federal government OF the capital Of
the state does nightly affect soyer-
eighty and citizenship"
Congress sohuld not have attempt
ed to impose an unauthorized prohibi-
ltion. The constitution itself Is the
ultimate instrument on which the state
lis admitted. If this constitution is to
stand 1t must supersede the enabling
act. Oklahoma riay reform its eonsti
tuition at will, subject only to the con-
stitution of the United States"
Summing up, Judge Burwell laid
down the propositions Of his side.
That Coyle possesses no standing In
court; that his is not case of gem
eral welfare.
That even IL the contract OF the en-.
abling act is valid the government
alone has the power to acqulesce in
abrogation.
The enabling act can only be en-
forced by the United States itself.
Congress has no power to impose
such conditions.

Case Of Tulsa Street

The supreme court today remanded
to the corporation commission for the

on It's franchise from the county com

regular schedule except when there
was some attraction at the fair

beyond the power OF the commission
ers to grant any franchise which
would relieve company from the
general supervlslons, regulation and
control of the corporation commission
but sends the case back for a more

The new tariffs went into effect

figures. In most cases the rates now
In effect are much higher than the
rates the corporation commission pre-
scribed for the same service. The
Santa Re and Katy restored their for
mer high rates a few months ago
when the injunction In their favor was
Issued by Judge Hook. but the Frisco
which was longer In getting it's in
junction, has gone the other roads
one better In the matter of making up
for lost time.
The railroads In 1907, n short time
prior TO statehood, put new tariffs
into effect reducing rates materially
from those that they had been charg
Ing and collecting for several years
prior thereto. This was done osten-
slbly in view OF the fact that the cor
p0ration commission was about To
come into existence, and In the hope
that the concessions made would
seem ample in contrast with the ex.
tortionate rates that had heretofore
been charged. The corporation com
mission, however. figured that the
rates established by the roads on the
prospect of the commissions birth
were not low enough 10 be fair to

on its own initiative the rates that

sURRELL's FINE ARGUMENT
Former Member Supreme Court
Makes Good Effort in
Weak Cause

B. r. Durwell OF Oklahoma City, a
justice Of the territorial supreme.court,
spoke nearly three hours this morning.
His argument was brilliant and COM
rlete. 1t was free from extraneous
matter and was a fnrceful presentation
or the case from constitutional stand
point as well as from the viewpoint OF
equity.
Judge Burwell squarely faced the
Issue OF the enabling act, saying that
congress had undoubtedly intended
that II should be binding on the future
state; that 1t was In the mind OF con-
gress to temporarily locate the capital.
lie argued that II did not become a
contract because the provision was not

From the first of the hearing 1t
has been apparent that Judge Cam.

strong sense of humor and abounding

there were illustrations.

Judge was undertaking to get the
arguments before him by noon. In
dicating that he had already heard
an extraordinary amount OF argu-

ed.a We hear OF oyertraining In GER

the stories about Jefferles out west.
At noon, when Attorney General
West was trying to make sure that
he had not sacrificed any right OF
special appearance for state officers,
and explaining that It was rather too
much to expect him to produce all
the defendants at once, the court
said:
