THAT EXTRA SESSION.

= Some state papers are for rushing
Iowa into the expense OF an extra ses-
sion of the legislature because two of
the University buildings We're burned
to the ground on Sunday morning last
The state of Iowa should erect no more
such fire traps such as the burned
buildings were. The state should car
ry no insurance, but it should erect
none but fire proof buildings. The
erection of such buildings requires
much time and even were the legisla-
ture to convene at once the buildings
could not be erected in time for the
fall term of the University. The state
now has about $4,000 left in its,emerg-
ency fund: with this amount temporary
buildings can be speedily erected
which will serve the purpose until the
necessary appropriations can be made
at the next regular session. The time
need not be wasted. The buildings
must be erected and the plans can be
made and duly considered SO that when
the Legislature meets next January it
can act understandingly. This is what
has been done at Ames and is what
should be done at Iowa City.
