EL RENO SAGE
HENSLEY SEES THROUGH PLAN
TO REFER CAPITAL APPRoPRlA-
TON BILL.

FL Reno,>Okla, Oct. IT, f. Hens
ley. editor of the Peoples Press, volc-
| ing the sentiment of the residents OF
this section in an editorial appearing
IN his newspaper. He tells OF the
visit of a man circulating the reteren-
dunn petition to prevent work beng
begun on the state capitol in the fol.
lowing way:
"A Mr.. Somebody from nobody
knows where, was here few days
ago circulating a petition, the object
of which is to refer to the voters, at
some future election, the bill passed
by the last legislature providing the
funds to commence the erection OF a
state house.
This petition was presented to US
for our signature and We were urged
to sign it on the flimsy preteXt that
the bill as passed by the legislature
authorizes the use OF certain school
and building funds now laying idle
in the bank, until such time as the
lands donated by Oklahoma City
could be sold and the money with in
terest returned to the particular funds
from which it was taken.
The crculator of this petition
seemed TO be laboring under the de
msiou that the school fund was about
to be robbed Of a million and a-halt
dollars and that he was commission
ed from on high to save the state
and the school children from such a
calamity.
"Ou the contrary every school
child that has read Bunns Oklahoma
Ciyics or heard Cruce lecture on the
school book trust, knows that the
school funds would be infinitely saf-
er in the hands of a capitol commits
sion, as provided by the legislature
in the bill sought to be killed, than
in the hands of mushroom banks,
where the major portion Of such
funds are kept or the school land de
partment either.
The danger of loss to the school
fund is an invention of the enemies OF
Oklahoma City vt is a weapon OF
her rivals used to knock against rhe
capital and delay the work of build
inc a state house. Oklahoma City Is
the geographical, commercial, rail-
road and political center of the state
and wherever these angles meet. the
capitol of every state ought to be
erected,
we have had capitol elections
enough. The question has been fair
ly settled many times by the people.
The labor of nearly a dozen legisla-
lures has been wasted in wransling
over it. Five governors exhausted
their energies, bankrupted their in
genuity and committed political hara-
kari in trying 10 profit by its location
Enough money has already been
wasted by the state and the people
fighting over the location, to build
two capitols. if it had been wisely
and iul.ciOusly expended.
