Those opposed u the new building
project argue that this ls not the time IL
enter upon new construction Tor the rra
son that the cost Of lobor and material
u high. We concede that they are high,
but We insist that the state can better
afford 70 build now, when general busl-
ness 10 prosperous-evpecisl in the i'll
dustries of coal, oil and gas---when tn
railroads are working at full tilt, when
every manufsctory and urance are run
ming st full blast, when the farmers are
reasonably prosperous, then To wait for
. period Of depression and hard times
We submit that in view Of the fact thai
every department OF business 10 now
prospsring, IL Is therefore the time l.,
build. and that IL Is unfair whilst all thu
prosperity is in the land, to discriminate,
against those requiring the Use of educa-
noEal, penal and eleemosynary institut
ions.
I'VE insist that the refusal OF this lex
islature 70 meet the reasonable require
ments OF these departments, having TO io
with the education Of Of our children
the caring for the unfortunate, AS also
other things which a state ought to do
10 contrary TO our best judgment and up
on the ground and for the reason thai
We are unable 70 pass an appropriation
Law except 10y the concurrence of tina

We observe the capitol and ali ia,
