and only question at issue is the gees.
tion of location. This suit is describ
ed in the motion as suit to control
the political action Of state as re-
CARDS the capital, and as such is d
suit against the state.
The attorney general filed plea
in abatement for Secretary OF State
Cross. He sets up that the capital
has been located and that because OF
this the court has no jurisdiction
The real intent of the suit IS dc
ssribed as one to annul and hold for
naught the Governmental measure of

any or all of the persons involvc1

DALE RESUMES ARGUMENT

Attorney Ayers

At 10 o'clock this morning Junge
Frank Dale resumed his argument,
finishing at 1876. There was a bfie'
discussion of the further order Of
speaking, but the court finally agreed,
in the absence of agreement by cum
sci, to follow the usual course. The
defense had opened, and the plan.
ifs counsel was allowed time to fir
ish before further arguments were
heard on the other side.
Judge Dale began with the Kansas
Indian case, in which an enabling acI
was sustained to the letter. The pow
@, Of courts to enforce law against
all persons whatsoever was shown IN
quotations from a California decision
in which taxpayer. having no other
rights, stopped proceedings toward the
moving OF the capital OF California.
The secretary was prevented from
calling an election. The right Ut .
ciiizen to sue for injury was sustain
ed
Judge Dale closed with the broad
statement that there is no mental
reservation allowable when 1t comes
to contracts.
He said that there Is not a case IN
all the literature of the courts wdsrt
enabling acts have been desecraied
He said there has never been c2url

Contends Enabling Act Il
Stronger Than Provisions

Judge Burford started at l0.45 and
from the first he put ginger into the
proceedings. He said the underly-
ing principles of law are as liked as
the stars and irresistible as tnal
wave. The history of Oklahoma was
sketched. He saidthat congress
by conditions imposed did not take
away any sovereignty. Congress re-
cognized condition that at times
leads to bloodshed, and prevented
such scenes by deferring the contest
until 1913. In Idaho limitations Oh
twenty-five years were put upon the
people at statehood.
That the enabling act Is stronger
even than the provisions OF the state
constitution itself was contention
of Judge Burford. The constitution
