of the legislature has resulted in certain number of
senators and representatives favoring the site de-
manded by ST. Paul but attempt substitute
sure for facts and findings?
If we were able to submit QUESTIONABLE to all
the people of the state do not doubt that 80
cent of them would reply that they favor the "Cass
Gilbert plan" and 80 per cent Of them would say they
want nothing done to the setting Of the capitol
and we would be among the 80 per cent.
When first appointed member of the
building commission to erect the state office building
thought the site desired by St. Paul was the best
site. It is probable that the same off-hand opinion
entertained by all the members of the commission.
But would attempt to locate a state office
building without investigating all possible sites. 1t
became evident to the commission that there are
engineering difficulties in connection with the site de-
sired by ST. Paul. financial difficulties and difficulties
of convenience and efficiency Finally it became plain
that the huge office building necessary could not be
made to fit into the "Cass Gilbert PLAN" These con-
siderations decided the commission.
st. Paul naturally wants the most beautiful,
most ornate, most expensive building it can secure.
st. Paul is not primarily concerned with the
fence of those who have the states work to do in the
building or with the convenience of the people of the
state who must have their business done in the build
ing The interests of the people of the state and of
st. Paul not indentca to this matter If St. Paul
pei the legislature to spend 100000 $4,000 900 on
an office building, instead of the $1500OOO has ap
propriated, ST. Paul will be exactly that much hap
pier. The state can worry about the bill.
So, to gain its end, ST. Paul tries to obtain
snap judgment from powerful persons and organiza-
tions it attempts to raise hue and cry seeks in
short, to the commission by political pressure
