A historical plea to Oklahoma taxpayers revisits the 1905 state capital move to Oklahoma City over Guthrie. It traces the 1911 Supreme Court decision, a 1912 bond vote to fund capitol work, and Guthrie’s prompted push for a new election.
The governor receives on May 1 1912 cash and land titles totaling 650 acres valued to raise at least 1400000 for a state capitol project. Critics urge a businesslike approach and hold focus on avoiding a new election while Guthrie opponents decry capitol location changes.
A regional debate links relocating the permanent state capital to tax pressure. The state carries about 4.5 million in bonded and warrant indebtedness, with calls to cut taxes for farmers and businessmen. Oklahoma City pledges support and readiness, while Guthrie argues for bearing construction costs.
Guthrie’s claim to the capital rests on five manipulations at Wtow to keep the capital against popular wishes. The capital’s return is argued as mercenary for future existence. A city could form, but it would benefit little from a small town while the town provides limited accommodations.
