TUESDAYS PROCEEDINGS.

Pierre, S. D., Jan. lathe capital
removal resolution came up in the
house late yesterday afternoon on its
third reading and was passed by a vote
of 70 to l6, with n absentee. The bill
was then placed on the calendar for
final passage.
Both senate and house have now
voted on the resubmission question, and
from the result Of The ballots it is plain
to be seen that the legislature is over
whelmingly for removal.
Hutchinson of Beadle introduced a
bill in the house providing for the APP
preparation of $50, 900 for an armory and
drill hall at Huron. This will be OPP
posed by the committee on military af-
fairs, as they have a bill for $50, 900 for
maintenance. One of the strong fights
of the session will be on these bills.
Capital Commission Needed.
There is a general feeling among the
members Of the legislature that there
should be a capital commission ap-
pointed in the near future and that the
commission shall have charge of the
arrangement for plans for a new build
ing, also to select a site should the cap
ital be moved from the city Of Pierre at
the next election to the city OF Mitchell.
There is q strong feeling not only
among the members, but it is prevalent

out in the coming fight she is entitled
to the best building for capital pur-
poses that the state can afford to build,
and there is no doubt that such a
building will be built either here or at
the new location in the near future,
and when it is built that it SHOULD COM
pare ~favorably with the buildings OF
our sister states. We a the granite
and it cannot be excelled in any state,
and we AVE the labor with which to
'eXcavate it, SO there need be little de-
LAY in the construction Of a building
when the matter is finally decided.
Loan for Capital Construction.
/, There Will probably be an amendment
to the constitution offered in the near
future which will give the state the
power to make q loan over the $1OO, DOC
mark as is now provided. This will of
course be for specific cases such as
the making Of a loan for the purpose
of the erection of a capital building. It
is the purpose of the o~riginators of
the scheme to MAKE the oar from the
permanent chool fund thus placing nc
extra burden on the tax payer and at
the same time giving people a suitable
building for capital purposes.
