CspitOl Commissioners.

When the people Of Missouri voted
bond issue for new capitol they
were assured that the Legislature had
made permanent provision for a build
ing board, composed of four eminent
citizens, to plan the building, let the
contract and guard the expenditure OF
the money. They would not have
voted the bonds had they believed the
money would be expended by board
Of state officials whose time is occupied
with official duties. The experience
Of such board in building the supreme
court structure was sufficient to caution
the people against putting the gigantic
task of erecting new capitol into the
hands Of busy state officials.
The proposition to abolish the board
Of capitol commissioners and to place
the work Of that board in the hands OF
the commissioners OF the permanent
seat Of government, composed OF the
governor, secretary Of state, state aud
itor, state treasurer and attorney general
is unfair TO the people, unnecessary,
and is extremely dangerous to the
great work in hand. Such a change
would not save dollar for the tax
payers but would jeopardize the invest
ment they are making. State officers
cannot give to such an undertaking
the time and thought it demands.
They are already burdened with public
duties.
! The state capitol commissioners have
experienced great difficulty in over
coming obstacles in the way Of pre-
airing for the actual work Of construc'
ton, They now confront problems
that must be solved by patient invest
igation and close attention, They
have the time, the information and th'
adaptation necessary to the great tasS
in hand. 1t would not be wise to dis
turb their work or to place ii in tht
hands Of state officials even though
such a change might save to th'
; treasury twenty thousand dollars year
As a matter or TACT such change i
E likely to cost the taxpayers ten time
: that amount because Of the lack c
time and attention necessary on tn
q part OF the commissioners who woul
, have the work to do. The stat
officers are opposed to the proposition
There is no public demand for tn
q abolition Of the Board Of Capitol Con

The Turks, like silreligous fanatics,
cannot discriminate between a delusion

FIVE new state Offices. with salaries
ranging from s10o a month to 1000
year, are now pending in the legis-
lature. When Republicans we're in
power the Democrats vigorously op-
posed every suggestion Of new state

As there are many honest democrats
in the general assembly who do not
favor partisan tricks and schemes pro-
posed by democratic leaders they have
been managed so far by getting them
into so-called conferences that inva'
riably assume the nature and authority
Of party caucus. 1t is time for the
honest democrats to open their eyes
and seek protection from the odium
democratic leaders are inviting.

In 1909 and 1911 democratic law

Major and the democratic leaders
at Jefferson City are laying their wires
to prevent the appointment Of repub-
lican judges and clerks at the next
election. They are the boldest polit-
ical pirates this state ever produced.
They will not hesitate TO steal any
political advantage within their reach.

The National and State platforms
Of the Democrats approve the initiative
and referendum, yet the Democratic
party leaders at Jefferson City are do
ing all that can be done (under cover)
to bring about the repeal or nullifca-

afraid the people may undo some Of
their epactments and that they may
establish senatorial and congressional
districts by direct vote.

meeting held today, at which time
it was decided to write this letter
We should like very much to say
that our college is strictly upon the
honor basis, and that student gov
eminent prevails in every phase of
student life. This government is
priced, honored and upheld by every
girl, and it has in no way been af-
fected by the occurrence few days
ago of a girls elopement.
In reference to the "ultimatum"
said to have been delivered by DR.
Gaines, we should like to say that
DR.. Gaines never interferes with
any of our student government af-
fairs, and has not, in this instance,
interfered either. He has not said
one word to us, and has given no
order concerning chaperons. Such
matters are left to the students,
and Agnes Scott girls have the
same freedom now as always.
There has not been one word of
criticism from DR. Gaines concern
ing our student government.
We girls honor our system of
government and intend to uphold it,
as always. Respectfully,
THE STUDENTS OF AGNES
