The New Capital Qaession.

In the House last Thursday, pend
ing q bill fixing the State tax levy
at ratio not to exceed q mills, Mr..
Lane said In substance:
The Auditors report shows that at
| the end of the present fiscal year there
would be Il surplus beyond the ordi-
| nary expenses of the State Of $780,
900, which may be appropriated by
the General Assembly. There seems
to be IA necessity for making an APP
preparation of 100000 for the pur-
pose Of carrying forward work upon
the new capitol. We shall then
have bu. $500, 900 to apply to the
wants Of all the other institutions.
This sum was entirely inadequate.
The cost of architects, commission
ers, employees, etc, while this work Is
going on, appears To be about$l00,0 900
per annnm. III this work |, hurried
| forward there will be "A saving OF this
annual expense. Ii is also impor-
tant that the archives of thfs State,
which have now grown 10 be OF i'm
mense value, should be placed be-
yond all risk OF destruction. The
regular appropriation will allow the
officers in charge to collect a large
amount OF material but II willie not
provide for the building up Of the
ediflce 10 any satisfactory extent.
The appropriation asked for the pros
ecution of the work on the capitol
seemed To he necessary, and there
being a necessity for an increase of
available funds, he preferred that the
sums to he raised should be done by
levy rather than by an issue OF
bonds.
The above extract, which we find
In the Davenport Gazette's correspon-
dence, doubtless fairly presents a
view OF the question rs held by n
large number Of members. Others,
of which judge Thayer, on the Dem
ocratic side, may be regarded as the
leader, favor an issue Of bonds snfiie-
lent to procure money to complete
the capital building as soon as men
and money can do IL.
In our view the quickest plan for
completing the building will be the
most economical, provided the state
bonds, If issued could be negotiated
at or very nearly ut par, on six per
cent. interest, rs fast rs the means
would be needed, without commits
sion for selling.
The building must be driven to
early complexion, or the State must
suffer great loss. The present build.
ing Is unsafe and inadequate TO the
pressing needs Of the State. Besides,
the work on the new building IL in
such condition as to render delay
very expensive. A bonded debt Of
T., 600, ,000 upon the State Is not n
comfortable thing to contemplate,
but as the next aud succeeding gen
erations are To have the use of the
building, the payment for It's con-
struction ought to be distributed Ia
at least two decades. An extraordi'
nary levy Of State taxes this year
should be avoided If possible.
Knoxville journal. [volume] (Knoxville, Iowa) 1874-1986, 1876-02-17

When the rebellion broke out a
Captain of police at the Capital
building deserted his post and went
south TO fight in the ranks of tr"a-
4on. lie was native OF Virginia,
and appointed from that state.

acceptably served the. State in this
capAcity for more than three years,
aud his second two-years term will
expire with this year. He has made
for himself an enviable reputation

slderatinns however give him no

We had hoped he would he willing
