to get him to accept the place, and 1T

There were few now developments
in the stock sales of Providence OIL

However, quite a number of sales
were made by outside parties and some
by brok erage firms. One firm traded
about 1000 shares at the prevailing
price, ranging from II cents to %

IT'S THE BILL NOT THE CON,
TESTANTS.

| The capital location fight is being
waged pro and con by Oklahoma City
and Guthrie on the merits of the two
towns. This is begging the real is
sue. The capital location scheme is
being opposed not because of the SUI
perior merits of Guthrie as capital
city or the shortcomings of Oklahoma
City as capital city, but because the
bill providing for the permanent loca-
ton of the state capital is viciously
bad.
II there is any public necessity for
the removal of the state capital at
this time when the taxpayers are al
ready heavily burdened with costs that
necessity has not been shown. And
the bill providing for it is so rank; so
full of possibilities-certainties-of
graft and spoils that it is impossible.
The Worlds opposition to the
scheme is not primarily opposition to
Oklahoma City, but is opposition to
the bill regardless of which of the
three towns might secure the capital;
Oklahoma City, as the prize mover of
the bill. is condemned because it de-
serves condemnation. Any community
that seeks to build up itself and its
own selfish interest at the cost of an
entire state deserves the condemna-
tion of all right thinking people. And
Oklahoma City in this matter has done
just that
When the permanent capital is To-
Gated, and that will be after the date
fixed in the enabling act and constitu-
ton of the state, the proposal sub
mitted to the people should be specific
in terms. 1t should be stated just what
the capital is to cost, how it is to be
constructed and all such details. Then
the people should be asked to name
the locality for such proposed struc
ture and to say whether or not il
should be constructed. Turning the
treasury of state over to capital
commission made up under such pal
pably corrupt condition as exists now
is not to be thought of.
/ When the right kind of bill has
been submitted we will then consider
the different towns on their merits
