Final presentations, so far as tho

for selection OF location, were sub

on which to base prediction Of the

Issues Somewhat Shifted
The issues have been shifted some
what from former courses. The cul
minating argument for Guthrie was
based largely on the alleged invalid
ity Of the initiated bill, under which
the governor claimed authority to
move the capital TO Oklahoma City
Judge Burford contended the bill was
Illegal for the reason that the en-
acting clause, under the referendum
law, was missing. The other side
contended this was technical omis
sion.

The initiated bill appropriated SbOu-

It is claimed that such an expendl-
ture as the one proposed in the initial

general election The attorneys say;

the intention of the trainers of the
constitution to require bill Of THIS
character to be first passed by the
legislative body of the state, where
the question should be taken by yeas
