Passed.
TIE CAPITOL APPROPRIATION
Being the Special Order, was taken up and
read a third time. Generel amendments
were made by rcc"mm itEaeat, simply to cor
lect scme errors
Mr. Cleveland said that the State owed to
day on bonds $500 000-and concluded that
the passage of the till would be an infringe
ment on the Constitution. The friends ofIhe
bill argued from the start that economy die
tatea that the bill should pass on the
ground that it would be a saving Of rents
enormous amounts. lie argued that the
taxation levied would exceed the aggregate
amount uf rents that are now being paid and
that if it could be submitted to the people it
would not receive one eighth of the votes. He
said why pass 4 bill TO erect Capitol build
ing, when cur insane were at the mercy the
neighborng State. Why not pass a bill to
provide for bu.lding for the insane within
our own State.
Mr.. Hil!yer said he admitted that when
the question was first proposed to him, it was
not one free from doubt J; but after due con-
siderat!on he had concluded that the argu-
nents in favor Of the proposition exceeded
those against i. There was no doubt but
that the State needed a c. pitol buildin. for
sake. He did not think that
the building the Legislature was a. present
sitting in was a convenient one, and State
as prosperous a ours is needed one to keep
up its dignity. He argued in favor of Carson
\
that its population was more permanent. He
alluded to the proposition 70 FIX the Capitol
in the desert waste, which was but sperstiv !
settled at the present time, and concluded !
hat the Capitol should be located at such |
,lace as appeared al the present time 10 he |
lie most permanent. and convenient. 1t
Sas d strong reason for the location OF the
'Hpitol here, that the Mint building was
llready located here, and the Capital If the
State should be to a great an extent as pos
ibie 6eautited By he erection Of substantial
buildings. He c-ed the former Capital
citations in California and the effect it
!ways had on the legislation of that State.
lie was opposed to putting our State Capital
II wheels, any way. He thought the State
ould afford the expense of $4,000 year
or the purpose.
