tie Files lnitia
tive Peti-
tion.
Guthrie, Oklahoma, April, 17:
Attorney John Devereux threw
Guthrie's hat in the ring today
when he tiled with Attorney Gen-
eral West an initiative petition to
locate tin capital and seat of gov-
ernment of Oklahoma at the city of
Guthrie. I11 making this move,
Devereux acted for Guthrie Cham-
ber of Commerce, and the action is
based principally 011 the recent
opinion, given by Attorney General
West to Governor Lee Cruec that
the state is not obligated to regard
as binding the agreements, made 111
1910 with Oklahomo City, relative
to locating the capitol and erecting
the capitol buildintts there.
The Attorney General held fur-
ther that because of the failure of
the citizens of Oklaliomr. City to
make good on their agreement re
lative to locating the capitol there,
that there is nothing to aut'lorize
Governor Cruce to make a binding
contract for the erection of fin
buildings. The f-tat • thus being
wiped clean, the citizens i f Guthrie
through the Chamber of Commerce
decided to act, and filing the peti-
tion with Attorney General West
today is the lirst step.
The question, to be submitted by
Guthrie at the polls, is very biitf
and simple;
"Shall the f illowing proposed
amendment to the Constitution be
adopted: •
*' (Title)- An act amending
'Article L'l of the Constitution of
the State of Oklahoma by adding
to said article a Section numbered
2 locating the capitol and seut of
government of said state.
"lie it enacted by the people of
the State of Oklahoma
"See. 2: The Capitol and seut
of government of the Slate of Okla-
homa is hereby located at the City
'of Guthrie, in said State-"
| At Regular November Election
I The initiative petition, liled today
j with Attorney General West pre-
j paralory to tiling it w ith Secretary
j of State lien Harrison contemplate
i a vote on the amendment at the
j regular election in Novouiher so as
j to make no additional expense to
the people of the state.
{ In case the vote is favorable to
! Guthrie, the $loO.()t)iJ courthouse
land the Slo0,00'J convention hall
j here are to be turned over to tbe
Istate, rent free, until such time us
! permanent state buildings are erect-
ed. Donated permanently to the
! stale will be the big convention
j lu^Jl and campus, the original capi-
j tol site here designated by the
federal gpvernnieiit in IS89, when
Oklahoma was opened to settlement
i and loeated in the heart of the city.
