COURT UPH0LDs Gross
"New Jerusalem Initiative
Petition II C d
Sufficient

The supreme court today affirmed
the decision of the secretary OF state
in declaring valid the New Jeru-
salem" initiative petition represented
by Senator Campbell Russell. This
puts the petitioners in position to
have the capital proposition, under
the New Jerusalem plan, submitted
to the people.
Former propositions along the line
suggested In this petition, state ques-
ton No. 6, are declared by the court
to have been advisory measures and
not proposed amendments of the
constitution of positive enactments.
Senate resolution No. 8, proposed by
the Second legislature had no en-
acting clause. For these reasons TN.
court holds that the provisions that
legislative acts and constitutional
amendments voted on shall not be
voted on again for three years un-
less on petition by rs per cent of the
voters does not apply.
Senator Russell submitted the petit
ton on December 81 1909. II was at
tackled In hearing before Secretary
Cross, who held the petition suffici-
ent and the matter was carried to
the supreme court.

Santa Fee troin going to Oklahoma
City last night and had an experience
that would seem to disprove the
charge of the so-called commercial
clubs favoring the railroad amendent
that is to be voted on Saturday thot
the big roads are against the amend

strenuous effort has been made
w the promoters Of this amendment
to make the people believe tho big
roads are against the change, the
i,lea being that the people who think
the roads already exercise enough
control over public affairs would OPP
pose them in this and favor the
amendment. Last night, however,
The gentlemen referred to above were
threatened with ejectment from the
Santa re train between Guthrie and
oklahoma City because they were
.,sing their best effolts to convince
the passengers on the train that the
amendment should be defeated.
They were not elected, and sue

ON SCHOOL BOND ISSUES
Officers Expected TO Secure
Preliminary Forms
From Statutes

j. r Davis, county superintendent
of instruction Of ottawa county, has
been informed by Assistant Attorney
General Moore that the legal depart
ment deems it inadyisable to make
ironclad forms for preliminary pro.
ceedings in school bond issues. The
office undertakes to prescribe forms
only for the bonds themselves, and
the coupons and certificates. The
school officers are expected to secure
their preliminary forms from the
statutes
Answering an inquiry from the
state department of education the at
torney general holds that taxes levi
ed for district school purposes In a
given year are secured to such pur-
poses for that year, but that, If there
be a surplus at the end OF the year,
it may be applied in payment of out
standing warrants. The attorney gem
eral refuses to become the legal ad-
wiser of each school board and re-
commends that In special question a
competent attorney be engaged.

This assault upon the taxpayers OF
the entire state IN a futile attempt
to force removal OF the state capitol
when every honest and sensible man
knows the supreme court OF the state
will declare the election void because
of its violation OF the constitution will
react against Oklahoma City and then
the greed OF the town lot boosters
will be thoroughly understood and the
whole city will suffer in consequence.
Oklahoma City Is held responsible
for this election and must stand the
odium which is sure 10 attach.
We regret this because We have al
ways admired the pluck and energy
Of oklahoma City builders, and there
was no cause for their getting into
this mudde because they wrc easily
the metropolis Of the state without
he capital, and for the brains OF a
great city to prostitute it's energy to
the base purpose OF boosting town lot
spectators is beneath the dignity OF
loyal oklahomsns.
Some say il was because Of Okla
homa City's desperate straits that this
scheme was inaugurated, but we can
net believe that, but rather are In
ei,ned to the belief that the specu-
lators fooled the town builders, and
they certainly did Il TO the queens
taste, because they even invaded the
pulpit with their deception.
