And Neither Will Be Granted.
Des NOTES.-THE report that Gov.
B. F. Carroll will recommend in his
message to the legislature a new
building for the capitol grounds to be
known as q judicial building has
thrown a scare into those who are
boosting for a new Office building.
They say that unless all boost for the
same building there will be a big
contest and that as result the legis-
lature will do nothing.
The judicial building first was sug.
gested by Justice Horace E. Deemer
of the supreme court. Shortly after
the public agitation was begun for an
Office building the other plan was
preached. The plan provides for q
building that will house the supreme
court, the attorney general, the rail.
road commission, the commerce coun'
sci, the rate department, the law H.
brary and any other departments that
are judicial or quasi-judicial.
George Cosson, attorney general. Is
in sympathy with those seeking ju-
dietary building. He says he hopes

food commissioner, was told that 1t

roll will recommend a judiciary build.
ing he was surprised.

ing. Unless all of us get together on
the kind of building we want the
chances are that nothing will be Sc
cured from the legislature"
A. H. Dawson. secretary of the ex
ecutive committee, also has been
working for new Office building. He
has known for some time of the agl
tation for judiciary building,
IF much of fight is made for
judiciary building the whole thing
will be defeated" he said "a build.
ing is wanted that will relieve us Of
the congestion in the state house.
Such building will help little. II
does not provide for the archives and
for the many commissions that are
slowed away in dark basement rooms
or in dilapidated buildings"
