Shawnee Herald | ives Reasons for Thinking Voters
Should Perma J tly Locate State Capital June 11.
A GOOD STRC3* i OF BUSINESS FOR STATE
Editor Shawnee Herald,
Shawnee, Oklahoma.
Dear Sir:
I have read your recftnt editorials
which are in the nature of criticlims
and inquiries as to my position on the
various features or tne oiuj Capita]
question. 1 also have it from you per-
sonally that you would be pleased to
have an answer from me.
Here is the answer:
If I do not cover all the points you
desire me to kindly call my attention
to the fact and I will do so.
lu the first place you are quite
right. I have reason to be very grate-
ful to many people in Pottawatomie
county and, u/ersonally, 1 appreciate
that fact. As to my choice of capi-
tal cities I have not personally nor
through my newspaper at any time
expressed any preference except that
I think Shawnee an excellent location
for the Capital and would be delight-
ed to see It succeed. These are my
personal views and have been for a
long time.
Shall it be now?
As to the question of when the cap-
ital location should be made. From
the beginning of Statehood I have
been In favor of that question being
settled at once and am still of that
opinion. Among other reasons are
the following: We are rapidly build-
ing a new state; its Capital location
is a question for the consideration of
the whole state and not only of one
locality; the right to locate the Capi-
tal is a privilege that every citizen of
the state is interested in regardless
of whether it boosts a particular local-
ity or not, and for generations to
come the Importance of the present-
will either make the Capital location

the taxpayers would continue for sev-
eral years to pay over Twenty-two
Thousand Dollars a year rent and
maintenance for office rooms for
scate officials, and after paying this
