A NEW MEASURE
IN LEGISLATURE
PROPOSED LA WPROVlDES FOR
SELECTION OF LOCATION BY
COMMITTEE.

Oklahoma City, Nov. 29.-With the
introduction of a bill in the senate
and "a similar one in the house
Tuesday afternoon, providing for the
immediate location of the capital in
Oklahoma City, and the appointment
of joint committee composed of
three members from each branch
whose duties shah be to select a
suitable site upon which shall be
placed the capitol buildings, there
are now two propositions for the
consideration of the Legislature
which has been called in special
session by the governor to settle
once and for all where the seat of
government of the state of Okla
homa shall be.
The second capital bill was offerel
in the senate by Senator w. n. Red
wine in the house by Representative
j. II. MaXey, Jr. The measure was
hNouoN pldNNu upoii llo III ol lNlu-
ing. The Redwine- Maxey bill differs
from the Durant-T'hompson bill in
several respects. 1t provides that
the capital shall be Immediately To-
Gated in Oklahoma City and that
the Joint committee from the senate
and house shall secure options on
lands and receive propositions for
the location of suitable site upon
which SHAH be erected the capitol
buildings.
New Bills Provisions
The members OF the committee
are to receive only Sc a day for
the actual time served. The COM
mittee is empowered to make its
recommendations to the regular ses,
sion of the legislature which con-
yenes in January. All expenses of
the committee to be paid by the
regular session OF the legislature.
Unlike the Durant-Thompson bill
which provides for the location of
the capital at Oklahoma City and
not 20 exceed five miles from the
city, the Redwine-MaXey bill pro-
vides for the location of the capt
tai in the corporate limits of Okla
homa City. The Durant-Thompson
bill calls for a capital commission
whose members shan oe paid s4.20c
a year for two years unless sooner
inducted ont of office.
The Redwine-MaXey bill contem-
p'ates no capital commission and
would charge all the duties incident
to the location and selection of the
site upon the joint committee. who
