AS TO CLAIMS MADE.

So flagrantly wrong Is the capital
removal bill 1T has not been neces-
sary to speak of the various good
things which tend toward making
the location Of the state capitol
building, but prehaps, 1t Is proper to
call attention to one boast the re-
moyal squadrons are holding forth
as to the sanitary advantages, beauty
Of site, etc. It IL a well known fact
that the state metropolis has the poor
est drainage Of any city OF consider
able size Of oklahoma; the sewage
system is that in name only, as the
river, in event OF an ordinary rain,
persists in flowing through the streets
much to the dspleasure of those hav-
ing an acute sense Of smell
No one doubts these defects can
and will be remedied no one but
trusts 1t may be accomplished at an
early date, for progressive citizens
of the new state wish all advantages
possible enjoyed and all defects cor
rected, that all OF us may not only
thrive, but be happy and healthy,
But Of the three cities, Oklahoma City
townlot boomers put into this contest
the metropolis has less to offer from
1 sanitary and beauty standpoints
| Located down in the bottoms and ex
/ pending vast sums to get water that
Is even fit to use, the limit of pre-
varication is certainly attained when
the boomer speakers and the ltera
ture departments affirm Oklahoma
City has superior sites and better
water and sewage than a city like

state, and few states east of tho
Rocky mountains can show more beau
tilul spots than Oklahoma.

which specifically states that Guthrie
Is to be made the capital OF Okla

the people of this state irreyocably
accepted the provisions OF the enab-

plain violation OF the constitutional

facilities and greatly improved meth
