The Resolution.
The following Is the resolution of
the Shawnee city council presented
Resolution adopted by the Mayor
aud City Council of the City o
Shawnee, March 4, A. D., 1913:
Whereas the capitol of the Sta e
of Oklahoma, has not yet been per-
manently located, and
Whereas, the city of Oklahoma
City, has fa.led and neglected to
keep and fulfill Its promise and con-
tract to and with the people of the
state, to furnish grounds and erect
a capitol building for the state to
coBt not less than one million dol-
lars free of cost to the taxpayers
of the state, and
Whereas, the city of Oklahoma
oavid V. houston
of missouri, secre-
tary ok agriculture
City, is now engaged in a scheme
to palm off on the citizens and tax-
payers of the state $100,000.00 and
C40 acres of land, worth about $64,-
000, instead of the free one million
dollar capitol building which they
promised the taxpayers of the state,
and
Whereas, the taxpayers of the
state are now paying to Oklahoma
City and Its citizens the sum of
about $53,000 annually, for rent for
the offices and housing for the vari
ous departments of the state gov
ernment, and
Whereas, the environments in and
about Oklahoma City, with its ex-
travagant pretense, extravagantly
inflated and overboomed values
seem to have had a very bad effect
upon most of the Btate officers both
high and low, as revealed by the
many legislative investigations made
and still in progress, and
Whereas, it is manifest to all ob-
serving citizens that so long as the
Btate capital remains at Oklahoma
City, the various departments and
officers and employees, will be
more or ieBs affected by the spiri:
of extravagance, pretense and show
manifest in every move and effort
put forth, or offered by Oklahoma
City.
Now therefore, be it resolved,
1. That the city of Shawnee,
through its Mayor and City Council,
offer to the State of Oklahoma,
Woodland Park, a plat of ground
In the heart of the city containing
thirteen acres of ground, free as a
site for the capitol building.
That the city of Shawnee here-
by tenders the state, quarters for
all the various departments, officers
and employees, together with quar-
ters for the legislature when in
eession, free of expense to the state
until the capitol building is built
and completed.
3. That in the event the legis-
lature dcBlreB to inspect the cap
itol site offered, we will furnish i
rain to bring them here and re
turn.
4. That the city of Shawnee and
its citizens are ready to enter into
(he necessary arrangements to make
this offer good on the basis that
;he capital of the state be perman
ently located at and In the city of
Shawnee.

w. P. Wood of the Wood Produce

"There are not sufficient Irish po

•o supply the home demand thirty
days it there is a good crop raised,
and as this appears to be the case
all over the southern potato grow-
ing section, the prospect for a good
price could not be better. It is not
too late for potatoes to be planted
in this section, while iurther south
the planting season Is over, and if
our farmers who have good potato
soil will plant a few acres there is
no doubt but that they will be
handsomely rewarded. The price of
liliss Triumph seed potatoes, the
favorite lu this section, is now 30
per cent lower than in previous
j ears, and as the seed crop was
iery sho*t last year, this is an indi
cation that a very short crop is be

Oklahoma City, March 11.—The
people of Oklahoma are now prac-
tically certain to have soon a
fourth opportunity to vote on a pro-
posed change to the constitution to
encourage railroad building in the
state. Representative Rexroat s pro-
posed amendment to Article 9, Sec-
tion 9 of the constitution, under
which short lines of railroad built
within the state could be leased or
sold to the interstate railways sys-
tems, and operated under their
management, passed the house of
■epresentatlves Monday afternoon by
heavy vote.
A similar resolution by Senator
Koddie has already passed the sen-
ate. In the house, the Rexroat res-
olution, which worded the proposed
amendment Romewhat differently, at
though the effect is the same, was
substituted.
Br a vote of 47 to 40, however,
the lipase defeated the proposition
to submit the question at a special
election next June, and this despite
the warning of Speaker Maxey, Du-
■ant of Durant and other experi-
enced legislators, that to submit the
question at a general election was
practically to kill It.
"Long experience has proven,
said Dr. Durant, "that a heavy per-
cent of the voters at any general or
primary election will neglect the
Slate questions there presented. If
you want this matter to have a fair
chance, you must submit It at a
special election
Unci* For Concurrence.
As the resolution carrying the
proposed amendment will go back to
the senate for concurrence, it Is be-
i.'Ved that the senate will add the
intendment for ■ a special election,
