THE STATE CAPITAL

a HERALD representative In converse
ton with one of the most distinguished
and able Of our state senators last Satur-
day. in Tacoma, sought to learn from him
what the feeling was generally among the
members Of the legislature as to where
the state capital should be- permanently
located. He said that Of course they are
divided according to the distance they
must travel. Those in the eastern and
northern part Of the state would like TO
see the capital centrally located. but
those Of the west like Olympia, not only
because it is easier for them TO reach, but
for other reasons. And in these very
same other reasons" said he. Lies my
objection to Olympia. The state would
save money and time by having the cap
ital in the central part Of the state, be-
cause the members on Puget Sound, and
near, are sure to go home every Saturday.
and the consequence is that saturday :
and Mondays arc sure to be- lost to the
public service. The home going members
get away on Saturday at such time as
to prevent any work by the legislature on
that day. and II they happen 10 get back
on Monday, they do not arrive in time to
get settled down to business, and thu.
losing two days in every week, simply
loses TO the state a third Of the time il
which the legislature should be at work
The HERALD is not interested in tn,
matter sectionally. but simply for ths
general good, and while Olympia would
he more convenient to the people Of thi,
section, we are Of the belief that econ
omy and fairness demand that the capital
should be- established in central portion
Of the state.
