Oklahoma city's Offer.
Oklahoma City now offers in place,
of he million dollar capital, and the.
moving expenses, 100000 and ESQ,
acres of land scattered all over the,
northeast part of Oklahoma county,
the most valuable part of which is,
in litigation and that where they.
wish to locate the capital, being i'm
litigation, so that no title can b@
made on it. The residue of this 65G
acres is in small tracts and the Of;
fetal state abstracters found about
200 defects in the titles to thesJ
various tracts.
The committee which put this land
in the hands of Lee Cruce, as a
private individual acting as theiN
trustee valued 1t at $1,400,000 buu
r. H. Gardner, before the statef
board of equalization, director of,

Fred Gum, president of one of thd
largest investment companies of Ok
lahoma City testified that as basis.
for loan the land was worth $13,l
900 and as a speculation could noti
be considered at over $65,000 and
Governor Cruce in recent letten
published states that the land would
become valuable if retained until tha
capitol was built. Where then is the
million or more dollars for captoh
building to come from except out of
the pockets of the taxpayers? :

ARGUMENT: WHY THE STATE CAPITAL SHOULD
BE REMOVED To GUTHRIE

AT a special election held June H.
F., 1910, upon petition Of Oklahoma City
and in violation OF the enabling act
which the constitutional convention
had irrevocably accepted, the ques-
tion of the location of the capital of
the state was voted upon. Oklaho-
ma City by her official representa-
tives declared before the election
that the enabling act would be COM
piled with and the capital not be
moved until 1913 and that in the
meantime they would build free for
the state a million dollar capital
building and would also pay cas-
moving expenses. The pretended re-
suit of this special election was an
nounced on the night of June IL,
several hours after the polls closed
and before the count was completed
or certified in majority Of the pre-
cincts OF the state, and in open vIo-
lation of pledges made to the people
the capital was located in that city,
City that night. The vote OF this
special election was never officially
canyassed and several months later
the supreme court of our state de-
clared the election illegal. The
governor at once called a special
session of the legislature at Oklaho-
ma City and by a vote of that body
the capital was located in thatcity,
the citizens renewing their promises
in a written contract, of a million
dollar capital building, payment of
moving expenses and free rentals,
The capital is now at Oklahoma
City simply by legislative act and
not by the vote of the people, sub
ject to being moved by the legisla-
ture or the people at any time. Guth-
rie now asks the people of the state
to settle the matter permanently.
Under written agreement with the
oklahoma City was to
begin on July 1, 1910, to pay S25 ,00U
each month to the state and con-
tinue these payments until million
dollars had been paid. Not a single
dollar Of this has ever been paid
and in March, 1912. the attorney
general of the state held that the
contract had not been compiled with
md was no longer in any way bind
ng on the state. Their bond of
100000 given for fulfillment of their
contract was forfeited and has new
sr been paid. Their agreement to |
'urnisn free rentals has never been
zept and the state is now obliged |
o pay over $4,000 year in rents.

expenses was like all the rest of !

the capital located at Guthrie this

land lies within half mile OF the

build herself up by tearing down
other cities in the state and robbing
them Of their public and private inl

been kept.

Oklahoma City will require the taxa

by the citizens of Guthrie and pre-

GuTHRlE'S DEED.
(Lawton Starr


Guthrie does own the land, and has
given the state clear title to the
same, but Guthrie people who twenty
three years ago reserved this land by
common consent for the people and
afterward secured the title to the same
for the state, have always held that
trust sacred, ever ready to .concede it
to the state as evidenced by the fol-
lowing paragraph from their literature
which they have been distributing for
the past few months in every county
of the state:
"The state is now practically the
owner Of fine capitol site at Guth-
rie, the government having reserved
fourteen acres in the heart of the city
for capitol purposes at the creation
of Oklahoma in 1883"
1t is needless to say that if Okla
homa City had been holding this land
for the state they would have stolen
