A Sensible View.

You have doubtless noticed con-
siderable newspaper comment on the
Capitol building proposition. am
OF the opinion tnat this General AS
sembly will submit a bond issue, con-
st%itutional amendment, at a special
election for the purpose of building a
new capitol, and l doubt very serious
" the wisdom of such a move at this
time. At special election it will
take two-,hirds of the votes cast TO
carry the proposition, and | am OF
the opinion that it will be defeated
aud the prestige of defeat will tend to
assist in defeating future efforts to
build a new capitol, thereby p~rolong-
ing the time of securing the capitol
b i ling. There are thousands of
voters in this state who will vote at
all times against a debt mourning pro-
position and there are many who Will
vote against this special submission
because of the extra expense such
election will incur. The proposition
will lose thousands of votes because
OF prejudice apd opposition to Jefter-
son City from certain quarters and we
al! know that no special election will
get out anything like a full vote and
for this reason the amendment will
lose many thousand votes. think
the matter should be deferred till the
general election in 1912, SO that in
the meantime the minds OF the peo.
pie can get better settled On the mat
ter, both as to the amonnt of money
go he voted and the site of the seat Of
government.--W. A. Dollarhidc, rep.
resent. tive of Benton County.
