r-HTS man taken from official /eoords
| in the State Land Department shows
I the location of the 6f>0 acres of land
which Okla! oma City seeks to unload
n the state 111 lieu of the free million
ollar capitol building she promised the
eople but failed to huild. This land In
> scattered tracts from 2 to 10 miles out,
much of it nearer Britton than Oklahoma
ity, Is mostly in ravines and brakes and
■ias been put in the hands of a private
rustee to tender to the legislature in
leu of the million dollar capitol building,
lee rentals, and all other promises and
grt eiuent by Oklahoma City.
The committee puts a valuation of
1,400,000.00 on this land, but R. H. Gard-
ue-. a diret tur of the Chamber of Com-
merce, testified it was worth less than
>120,000, and Fred Gum, president of one
if the largest loan companies in Okla-
homa City, swore It was worth but $13,000
is a loan basis and $65,000 as a real
state speculation. Poor as tills land Is,
hey hold it through a private trustee
md fail to turn it over to the state.
Oklahoma City has never made a move
0 huild a capitol building or keep her
other promises, and lias not turned a
ingle dollar ror an acre of land over to
he state.
The claim by Oklahoma City that Guth-
e prevented them from building a eapi-
01 building is a mere baby play. Wonder
-ho is keeping them from paying the
10,000 a year rent?
If the capital stays in Oklahoma City
he taxpayers must put up a million or
wore dollars at once for a capitol build-
g or continue to pay $40,000 or more
■nt each year for many years to come.

ground in the heart of the city deeded free to the State.
No dream, no promise, no capitol on paper, hut a real building on
real ground, worth half a million, free to the taxpayers. This building
will do for the state until the taxpayers are*relieved of their present
burden of debt and taxation. Guthrie also deeds to the State a $20,000
Executive mansion and offers Logan County’s magnificent new $150,000
