A new dictum gas gone forth from
Oklahoma City.
The old slogans have been destroy
cd or else ordered to the rear.
Already the people had answered
the immediate removal CLAUSE in no
uncertain terms; already there had
been sufficient observed to teach the
townlot schemers that section OF
their conspiracy was doomed.
Therefore, they set forth the plea
that it would require three years
to get state buildings ready; they
wanted to vote now, that the winning
city might lake 100000 as "a start.
er' and be ready for the removal in
1914.
But the bill reads Immediately; any
other city than Guthrie, perhaps even
Guthrie, winning, would destroy The
temporary capital at this city and
leave no capital until the time speci
fled in the enabling act
Therefore a new deal must start.
1t was deemed advisable to send
elsewhere than the metropolis for .
start. Mind you, however, there was
no 100000 "as starter" appropria-
tion in the deal to be commenced
away from Oklahoma City's boomers
Friendly outside papers Immediate

against delay; say it is injurious to
the state end want to settle now,
cnce and FOR all.
There is cunning behind that argu-
nent-it was started to make the
people like those of Guthrie and Shaw
nee go forth to struggle for the win
ming of the prize-it was compound
ed in Oklahoma City and started in
friendly" newspapers for the cause
of the present proposed removal.

The issue is too plain
The proposed bill settles but one
thing: that, all hope of the tax pay
