The Durant-Thompson bill, which
provides for the permanent location
of the seat of government of Oklaho-
ma at Oklahoma City, and creates a
commission composed of three men,

minor changes, Thursday afternoon,

Representative J.J H. MaXey, Jr, of
Pottamatomie county, the house ad-
journed to meet Friday morning.
According to democratic leaders,
the house will pass the capital bill
as introduced by Representative Du-
rant, after it has been thoroughly
discussed, and after two or three
members have attempted to secure
amendments to the measure.
Practically the only opposition to
the DurantThompso bill is the
clause creating a capitol commission
who shall have full power to agree
upon site for the capitol and other
state buildings, without reference 10

been raised in the house or senate
against the establishment of the cap
ital at Oklahoma City The plan by
which the site shall be selected is
the bone of contention.
Bill Ordered Enerossed.
House bill No. 8, which authorizes
the governor to accept a gift or do
nation of not to exceed eighty acres
of land as a site for state capital
and declaring an emergency, was
passed to engrossment Thursday af-
ternoon in the house after several
by various members to have
the measure amended.
Representative Maxey offered an
which provided that the
governor should accept a gift or do
nation not to exceed eighty nor less
than twenty acres of land as site
for a state capitol. The original
bill simply provided that gift of not
to exceed eighty acres should be ac-
cepted. The amendment was lost by
an overwhelming majority.
Representative George w. Cornell
offered an amendment that the site
accepted by the governor should be
approved by the legislature. This
was also lost by large
majority. Thirty-one members of
the house voting for the amendment
the remainder voted against. There
are 100 members of the house.

CAPITAL BILL REPORTED FAVORABLY By
HOUSE COMMITTEE OVER OPPOSITION

fered an amendment that the bill
should read not to exceed eighty
acres nor less than ten. This amend
ment was also voted down by a big
majority. One or two members en-
deavored to secure certain changes
in the original bill, but like the 9th
ers, the steam roller mashed them
flat.
Representative Maxey declared his
reason for offering the amendment
providing that the site should not
be less than twenty acres was to
prevent the acceptance of too small a
tract of land. He said that under
the original bill the capitol could be
placed upon tract of half an acre.
There should be some limitation
placed upon the size of the site"
said Representative MaXey.
Representative Durant secured the
floor when Representative MaXey
yielded, and declared that to place
the minimum number of acres at
twenty would preclude offers of a
site within the corporate limits of
Oklahoma City. Il understand that
a tentative proposition of site with
in the city limits is composed of only
two city blocks, and this would pre-
clude its acceptance, if you made the
minimum 20 acres" said Mr.. Durant,
There was a general discussion of
the question of various members.
Representative X. c. Cox declared
that he opposed the amendment fixing
the number of acres for a site at
ten acres. He said he wanted it un-
derstood that heis not favoring any
certain site, but he said he is willing
to get the best and most suitable site
possible.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1910-12-02

Declaring that the legislature
should stand for something some
time, and that he had gone up in
an airship on the capital proposition
as high as he wanted to- Represen-
tative Charles F. Barrett urged that
the bill be amended to read mot
less than ten acres for capitol site"
IF it takes so acres five miles
from the city for a capitol site, it
certainly ought to require 10 acres
in the city. The amendment should
be adopted. The legislature should
not shove all the responsibility on
the governor and the capitol commits
sion" said Mr. Barrett.
in speaking for his amendment pro-
viding that the legislature should
approve the site selected for the To-
cation of the capitol and other state
buildings, Representative George w.
Cornell declared that the bill is
peculiar one. 1T puts too much pow
el in the governor. 1t puts unlimited
power in the governor. No one man
ought to want so much responsible
ity," said Mr.. Cornell.
while l have the utmost conf
dence in the governors integrity, it
is too much responsibility for any
one man. We are sent here by the
people to locate the state capitol.
We are here not only to locate the
seat of government, but to select the
ground upon which the building
should be placed. If you don't Sc
lect the site, you will not do your
duty.

Close observers of the trend Of affairs in
the Administration are beginning to
wonder how soon after his return from
Europe, Postmaster General Frank ri.
Hitchcock will tender his resignation.
Up TO few months ago the President
turned over to Mr.. Hitchcock many OF
the Administration problems. A change
began to be noticed shortly after c. d.
Norton became private secretary to the
President.
In the old days the Postmaster General
visited the White House nearly every day
in the week. Since Norton took hold
and until the President went to Beverly
for the summer Mr. Hitchcock was at the
White House on days other than Cabinet
days not more than half dozen times.
His own Office was no longer used to take
care of the overflow at the White House.
1t is regarded as significant that Mr..
Hitchcock should depart for Europe at a
time when the Republican campaign is
being shaped up. and his departure with
out seeing the President is deemed to be
worthy gilmore than passing notice.

why a New Assessment


We would like to ask for information
through your open columns as to the new in
QUESTION about to be made on the people of
Cecil county, under the name of an assessment.
We had one, if am not mistaken, about tive
years ago, which was inquisitional in its
nature, but which was, compared with the one
now ordered, very mild.
| No inquisition made in the time of Julius
Caesar or Napolean Bonaparte was more
drastic than the one set forth in sections II
and IL of the Act giving this power.
Why the necessity Mr.. Editor for this second
| assessment on the heels of the first? Is ii
economy to spend SO much of the taxes wrung
from hard-warked, over-burdened people on
their gathering? If this is economy it is hard
to see in that light, and they should show the
people where the reason, sense or justice of
this lays.
i, In these days of increased high cost of living
and already heavy and strenuous taxes it GER
tainly is poor encouragement for farmers and
property owners to face another increase
| OF course, the expenses of running the bust
ness of the county and State are ever increas-
| ing and money must come.
One hard-to-explain item of added expense
is the new road inspectors just appointed. So
far as we can see, there has been very little, if
any work done ON the roads this year, and why
they should want to lay out more money to
have the stone piles and gullies inspected is a
mystery. They had better send 1.-THE gang''
back to re-make the Barnes Corner K orner
Ketch road since it is all going to pieces and
never bit of attention paid to it. Let us
know about these things, We who can tell.

It costs less labor today to make a
living than ever in the worlds history.
Aided by modern machinery there is
from Eve to Fifty times as much produced
for days work as there was hundred
years ago. Every day sees new and
better and more efficient machinery adj
ded to the industrial life. Every day
now should give more goods for the work
than it did yesterday. But it doesn't. 1t
gives less, no matter how much quicker
they can be produced. The price OF
things ought to decrease in the same
ratio as the time to produce decreases,
but it doesn't and right here is where the
trust gets in its fine work, and makes
money at both ends, getting more goods
made at the expenditure of the same
amount of labor as required formerly,
but being careful to limit the output in
order to squeeze the highest possible
price out of the people.

The Grange has been instrumental in
scoring another victory for thegreat mass
of the people. For thirty years the
Grange has demanded of congress to give
to the people secure place to deposit
their hard-earned cash, but each year
other interests for individual gain have
defeated the measure until now. Through
organization, agitation and education,
congress was compelled to listen to the
general demand of the people and has
passed the much desired and sought for
Legislation, that Of postal savings banks,
and while the act, as passed may not be
all that was hoped for or desired, it is at
least big stride in the right direction.

In London, as the Woman's National
Daily of St. Louis shows, the British
parcels post system enables family, to
make an arrangement with farmer to
send, for instance, dozen fresh eggs by
mail every morning. Boxes are made
especially for this purpose and the cost OF
carrying dozen eggs from any point in
England to the front door of any house
in London is five cents in American
money. The express companies in this
country have prevented the establishment
of this system, because they carry these
small packages and charge an excessive
toll. Now are the packages safe in the
hands of the express companies? Not
only are they frequently opened and the
contents ransacked; but it is by no means
a rare thing to have the entire package
stolen. 1t is seldom. if ever, that redress
can be obtained. And yet, the express
companies absolutely refuse to allow the
government, with its better means of pre-.
venting fraud, from entering the trade
and allowing parcels post system to be
established.

Making farmers out of the surplus
population of the city is the proclaimed
object of new organization of which a
number of well known men are designat-
ed as officials. The association proposes
to incorporate with million dollars CAPT
talization and establish model farms for
city people. From philanthropic stand
point the innovation may possess consider
able merit; from practical point of view
it is not likely to amount to much. 1t is
not a job that '.just anybody" can make
good ina fact well proven in that it
takes the smartest and best educated farm
boy and not the fool of the family to
make good profits on the farm.

The primary system, whereby candi-
dates are chosen by direct vote of the
people, is heartily endorsed by Theodore
Roosevelt, who lent his influence in sup
port of the primary measure before the
New York Legislature, but which the
gangsters succeeded in defeating. In an
editorial in the Outlook, in defense of the
primary system, Mr.. Roosevelt says:
"In its essence this is movement to
make the government more democratic,
more responsive to the wishes and needs
of the people as a whole. With our
political machinery it is essential to have
an efficient party, but the machinery
ought to be suited to democratic and not
oligarchic customs and habits. The
question whether in a self-government
republic we shall have self.government
parties is larger than that particular bill.
We hold that the right of popular self
government is incomplete unless it iu-
cludes the right of the voters not merely
to choose between candidates that have
been nominated. but also the right TO
determineawho these candidates shall be. /"

The attitude of the Wing in injecting
9factional discord into the temperance
campaign in Cecil county, is, it would
seem, not only illadvised, but playing
right into the hands of the whiskey crowd,
whose only possible hope of success is to

forces by just some such a move.

county have ever been conducted on a
nonpartisan basis, and to drag party
