Is practically repetition OF his
speech IN the Federal court in July,
The Ledbetter brief claims that the
enabling act and all other enabling
acts are temporary measures. In this
case 1t served to permit the creation
OF state and then expired OF its own
limitation. The enabling act as re-
CARDS the capital Is claimed not to be
binding because 1t was not incorporat-
ed In the state constitution itself.

GUTHRIE BRIEF ATTACKS
VALIDITY OF CAPITAL
LOCATING BILL
ATTORNEYS POINT OUT
ALLEGED FATAL DEFECTS
Initiated Measure Declared an
Anomaly IN Legislative
Experience

Direct attack on the validity of the
initiated bill under which removal OF
the capital OF oklahoma from Guth.
rie to Oklahoma City was attempted
IN June is made in the brief of at.
torneys for Guthrie, finished today
The two principal features of the
brief are the attack on the validi.
" OF the bill and the upholding OF
the validity of the enabling act.
The brief Is by Judge J. H. Bur.
ford, Judge Frank Dale and c. G..
1ornor.
In regard to the capital bill, which
limited the pretended capital contest
TO Guthrie, Oklahoma City and Shaw
nee, the brief holds that 1T pretends
in part to be law before 1t Is pass
cd 1t is called an anomaly in leg
islative experience.
Puts Cart Before The Horse
The first section of TIE bill Is de.
scrihed as providing for the selection,
location and method of determining
location of the state capital, vet II
Ignores all these provisions and 10
Gates TIE capital before It has been
approved"
1t is contended the people of the
state never had a chance to pass OH
the bill itself, for the reason that the
necessary submission clause, Shall
thcb III be adopted?" did not occur.
The capital location matter was sub
mitted without authority of bill. AT
the time 1t was proposed there was
no statute of procedure. and there
was no law authorizing submission.
There was no actual approval for dis
approval of the bill The omission of
the adoption clause Is held to be en-.
tire. so that no opportunity was Civ
ell the voter to express his will, bu,
he was required to express his choice
for capital, limited without warrant
to certain places. He had no real
chance to express a preference.
Another Fatal Defect
Another fatal defect in the bill is
claimed because it expresses va
riety OF purposes. The constitution
provides that bill must be confined
TO one subject, plainly expressed in
its title.
Limiting OF the choice or the voter
is called unwarranted legislation.
In reply to- Oklahoma City briefs.
the lawyers for Guthrie denounce the
action OF counsel in attacking the dis
trict court. The Oklahoma City brief
urges the idea that the executive Off
GERS are above and independent of the
courts.
There Is no direct attack on the ell
cction itself. because the bill is held
defective IN its title
The enabling act Is urged as bind
ing and essential. The Oklahoma City
briefs and the Guthrie briefs arc prac-
ticaly the same a sto the arguments
heretofore made on this point.
The case Is TO be heard in supreme
court next Tuesday. Supplemental to
the briefs there will be oral argu-
meuts.
Oklahoma City has put in fourth

Values Dominate Railroad Situation
Values Is the word that domin.

where the great value OF the word to

onstrated. On the stand before the
commission. officials Of roads have
testified that they cannot give the
actual or original cost of the roads
because the contractors have the
books Usually In all sOits OF rail-
road hearings the word values" has
been made to cover moi only the frs,

stretched TO include bonds, preferred

Highland Hitting High Hills.

The Highland Consolidated Mining
company is pushing its work in the
tunnel by hand and averaging about
30 feet per month. The portal of the
tunnel is up Clear creek between
Empire and Georgetown. The prop
erty of the company, consisting of a
large group of claims is situated be-
tween the Lamartine and the Capital
Prize properties. The tunnel has
been driven about 500 feet and while
several veins have been cut. it is ex-
petted that one of the very large ones
will be reached early in the winter.
In addition to these the tunnel will
cut the extensions of the Capital

park and the section contains great
ore deposits. The management has
laid in a sufficient amount of mine
supplies to last during the winter so
that there will be no interruption Of
the work on account of snow obstruct-
ing the roads. Along the line of the
tunnel there is a net work of veins
that will be opened up in the devel-
opment Mr.. Leebrick will give the
greater part OF his time and atten-
ton to this proposition and looks
forward to seeing it a big shipper.

SCHOOL NOTES.

Miss Florence Jaynes has been
substituting in the Chicago Creek
school during the absence of Miss
Rule who was called away by the
illness of her sister.
Mr.. Fenton, principal of the high
school, has been absent during the
week He was called to his home
in southern Ohio by the death Of
his mother During his absence the
superintendent has had charge of his
classes.
The spelling tests in the high
school reveal the necessity of some
regular work in that line. The spell
ing counts as part of the work in
English and pupils whose spelling is
poor will receive correspondingly low
grades in English.
The girls of the high school and
eighth grade have formed basket ball
teams and are doing some practice
work. If not carried to excess this
game furnishes splendid exercise
and trains iii team work, in other
words working in harmony with ones
associates.
This has been very busy week
for the pupils and teachers. Nearly
all of the examinations have beer
given this week for the monthly re
ports. The examinations will coun'
one third and the daily recitations
will count two thirds. So if a pupil
is to do satisfactory work he must
be present every day. 1t is the daily
recitation that counts.

yited to attend and take part in the
discussions.
nj States history
has been introduced into the grades
beginning with the fifth grade. Here
tofore there has been no systematic
work in this subject below the mid
die of the seventh grade. The time
devoted to history was spent IN the
study Of the heroes of Greece, Rome
and England. Inasmuch as many OF
our boys and girls never reach the
seventh grade it was thought knowi-
edge of our own American heroes ana
statesmen should receive first con-
sideration Surely no boy or giri
should ever leave the public schooi
without some definite notion OF what
our nation has cost in blood ana
treasure. The heroes Of the olden
time can not come as close to US as
our own heroes. The text we have
