A Sound Business
Proposition
How the State of Oklahoma can build its
Capitol without a Cent of Direct Taxation
It can buv 2.000 acre? of land
near Oklahoma City at *300 per acre. V
The cost will be £600.000.
It can reserve 4 J acres for capitol
purposes.
This will leave 1,960 acres.
Each acre will plat into eight
lots.
This will make 15.680 25-foot lots.
Each lot will sell for $300.
This will make a total of $4. <04-
ooo.
The commissions at 10 per cent
on the lot sales will be 5470,400.
Other expenses may amount to
$100,000. , , , .
It can pay back to the State
Treasury $600,000.
This •will leave a net balance of $3,533,600.
You would give $300 for one of the lots,
wouldn't von?
The net balance would pay fir an eiegart
capitol.
It would rot -t body anything ex-
cept the people who bought the lots.
The Industrial Company of Oklaho-
ma City Raised a large sum of Money
to pay the packinghouse bonuses.
On may 19. ISC9, it bought 570 acres of
Thev cost #185,0'.*. or $325 per acre.
It was platted into4,3t> lots.
Lots numbering 2,274 have been sold for
the sum of $632,707.50.
""" This paid the bonus of $400,000 for the
packing plants.
It repaid the investment of $185,000.
There is a cash balance on hand of over
$18,000.
There remains 2.114 lots to be sold at the
book price of $528,500. And acreage price of
these was $*7,733.54.
Some of the lots sold for $125, most of
them for a larger sure.
Would you prefer a lot in Paekingtor to
one near the Capitol of the state?
If so, the capitol lots would be worth
more than the Packington lots and sell for
jjjeer sums of money.
T. °*ckingtown proposition was a suc-
. ' because tne addition of the packing
houses to Oklahoma City made a demand for
more reexie^ce lots.
The Capitol location proposition will be
a succesa for the reason that the location of
the Capitol ir Oklahoma City would create
an additional and far greater demand for a
choicer claw of lota and they wouH be sold
to supply that necessity.
Will the people of Oklahoma cast aside
facts and figures such as these, listening to
the crv of Guthrie, "to wait a little longer,
permitting an opportunity thus afforded to
be delaved, until it is too late, and they are
required to tax themselves for the purpose
of erecting a suitable state house?
We think not that is, if they know
beans when the bag's open. And most of
us flatter ourselves that we do.
