EDITORS EXPRESS VIEWS ON FIRE AT ~ CAPITOL BUILDING man Emotions; All See Need for New Structure Editorial sentiments expressed by discussing | bu North Dakota the state capitol fire tun the gamut of human emotions, a Tribune survey showed today. Most editors take the view that there is no use crying over spilled’ milk and urge immediate construc- tion of a new capitol building. Some of these warn against undue haste, however, and stress the fact that the important thing is to do the job well. The Dunn County Journal assumes an “I told you so” tone in its edi- torial of Jan. 1 which follows in part: “For years there has been a con- stant demand made, at different in- tervals, by the weekly newspapers of; the state for s brand new fireproof! capitol building, but the warnings have been . Not longer ago than lest winter the Journal carried an editorial decrying the shabbiness) of the capitol building and stating as an opinion that a new one was needed.” The Killdeer Herald in an editorial in its Jan. 1 issue says: Sees Lesson for County “The construction of the building was not such as would resist the rav- equipment and the water supply been adequate for such a conflagration at ply. The building was # considerable distance from the main part of the city. “This reminds us, let the Dunn county commissioners take a forward step in starting a building fund against the day in years to come when a new courthouse may have to be erected to safeguard the records which so vitally effect everyone in the county.” The La Moure Chronicle blames every one in the state for the catas- trophe but asks cooperation in a new enterprise, to forget the tears and get set for action. In its editorial in the Jan. 1 issue it says: No Point in Weeping “There is small point in weeping after the tragedy has befallen us. x xxx Patience, cooperation, and sympathy are the orily courses for us to pursue, regardless of our attitude toward the needlessness of the whole; mess.” j Taking the capitol fire as the will of Providence, the Hazelton Indep- endent declares: “The burning of the state capitol: building at Bismarck last Sunday morning, when a great portion of the valuable records of the state govern- ment were lost, brings vividly to the minds of the people of Emmons coun- ty the true condition of our court- house at Linton.” The Devils Lake Daily Journal says in part: “If we could eliminate the great loss of records and documents, we might feel that the state has rid itself of a structure which not only was inadequate for the purposes for which it was built, but a structure which, as a state capitol did not re- flect favorably upon the state itself.” ‘The Mandan Pioneer frankly voices its disgust at the old capitol but ques- tions the battle that will ensue in building 2 new one. Their editorial of Dec. 29, 1930, which appears in part says: Sees Building Battle “The state capitol, that architectural monstrosity, which has accumulated on the installment plan on capitol hill, Bismarck, since 1883, is gone. x x x x Now comes the battle of the new building.” In an editorial appearing Dec. 30, the Grand Forks Herald declares that the capitol burned at a poor time with an irreparable loss. The edi- torial asks for attention to building wisely. It says: “The fire which destroyed the capi- tol building at Bismarck Sunday morning inflicts on the state an ir- reparable loss. x x x A new build- ing must be provided. It is important that we avoid the mistake of per- mitting the pressure of this emer- gency to lead us into hasty and ill- considered action. Time must not be wasted, but time will be well spent’ which is devoted to the careful mat- uring of plans which will give the state what it will need through years to come in safety, durability, utility and architectural fitness.” In a later editorial, the Herald says: “It may be expécted that the capi- tol fire will result in activity on the part of many county and other municipal bodies for the better pro- tection of their records from fire. Bays: “North Dakota must erect a build- ing which is entirely adequate and befitting the dignity of the state. In clares: “Governor Shafer is expected to lay before the assembly a program for replacement of the capitol, advising the legislature to set up a special committee to study the sub- ie work out and suggest a soly- “The possibility of effecting a appropriations a definite tax for a period of years,! issuing debentures against that tax.) ‘seems most feastble.” | Will Take Two Years | The Valley City Times-Record in; its issue of Dec. 31 says: “Now that Providence has stepped | in and deprived us of our capitol, building at Bismarck, the state is, forced into a position wherein a new, capitol building must be built as soon | as possible. It will take the next two; years anyway before a new capitol! can be completed and placed in read: iness for legislative and other pur- Poses. It will require several months to get plans drawn and accepted and bids let, and we presume, before ground is finally broken for the new iiding, we will be well along the road to May or June.” !
