I, for one, will voice by most emphatic protest against such an! obelisk form as a twenty-three story edifice. / ‘While I profess to be no prude or stickler to insist on old fashions, forms or creeds for the sake of their| being ancient or sanctified by estab- lished custom and tradition, I can see no rhyme or reason in erecting sky- scrapers in North Dakota where ground space is infinite and cheaper than dirt (ought to be). It has been emphasized that when; we build, the following factors should have primary ‘consideration: brac-/ ticality, economy and yet proper style} of appearance befitting the dignity of| our great State and its cultured and modern people. I realize that the arguments of the architects will be that the high building is the most practical. While this may be true we should not lose sight of proportion, symetry and beauty altogether. Who} will contend that the straight, narrow. | plain monument fashion of the mod- ern office building, now so common im the large cities, can in any way harmonize with our sweeping, broad plains, our history and traditions?

But it has no place on Capitol Hill in Bismarck, North Dakota. | Or it may be that our Commission ‘has in mind a design of a Capitol building for Jamestown. If so, I capi- ‘tulate. A tall building in a deep val- |ley surrounded by woods and hill sides might be all right. Lam not alone in these views; not one have I heard ex- press approval of the high tower de- sign. Believing our good Commission will welcome constructive suggestions I have ventured these remarks, and would like to hear others express their opinions on the subject. Let us dese- crate our noble hills and plains by erecting on them the ultra-modern business skyscraper for a State House! Respectfully, S. A. OLSNESS. Editor's Note: Doubtless others are interested in the design of a state capitol building, to be constructed here. Write your suggestions to the editor. NAPOLEON ON PROHIBITION Napoleon, N. D., Jan, 22, 1932. Editor, Tribune: I read the North Dakota Woman's letter in The Tribune last week in re- gard to the 18th amendment. Now this lady of Dickinson certainly knew before she started that letter that she was off the grade by far. I am sure if her husband (if she has one), would have seen the letter before she mailed it, the government would be two cents minus to the deficit it already has. Yet she says drinking is much less since the 18th amendment. I know by actual experience that back in the saloon days young men never carried anything but handkerchiefs in their hip pockets but now many forget their handkerchiefs and put some glassware in it which contains genuine home brew, and which their girl friends like as well as they do. It is a sure bet that you can find home brew in 90 per cent of the homes, which equals that percentage of your awful days which you describe as terrible. Any individual that liked whisky or beer and got it in those days still gets it— and lots cheaper too—so you can't tell us that prohibition is something worth while to suggest to the public. Now I do not want this letter to make anybody believe that I am taking this stuff by the barrels. I am no drinker but anybody with a little in the noo- pe can witness it day in and day out. . So why not open the saloons and give the unemployed some work? This is the point I was aiming at in This would decrease the rye and barley surplus to a considerable extent and {many needy and half-starved children will see better days ahead of them. |And people will drink in spite of the fact that it is half poison. Not so long ago a young man here died from drinking poisoned brew just on aceount of the 18th amendment. And did you ever stop to thing how many millions of dollars the govern- iment pays its dry raiders? The gov- ‘ernment can employ a million more jand still the drinking would not come to a halt, and we have to pay their salaries. . The brewing in the homes can never | be stopped unless the government em- {ploys a raider on every door. It ; makes me almost wild sometimes when I read or hear that U. S. has the most highly educated people in the ‘von Bat mL, world. I'd admit it if they said they Ah ANTE SIGNATURE BALL CAB CO.
