Oklahoma City is trying to put ono

over on the state. They have hud

the capital located at their city a

long time and nothing done, and no

assurance that i lie state will noi be

charged rent for the building' they

are now occupying, while Guthrie of

fers buildings rent free, suitable for

all the officials with ample room free

without any strings 'led to them,

which seems to us more like a busi

slble thing to do is to let Guthrie

have the capital at the present and

not try to buiid a state capitol Le'ild
