.Inlloe. ,stnltl,,s necIslnn.

The decision by Special Judge Ed
ward G. Smith in the pipe line
cases, in which he declares the re-
cent fIaw on that subject unconstitu-
tiona1, If upheld by the state
supreme court, viii rebound to the
fame of Judge Smith, as the matter
OF declaring law unconstitutional
is something quite extraordinary
with circuit judges in West Virginia.
though there is NO reflection on them
in not finding laws unconstitutional.
Nor, is there any good reason why
they should not do SO, when in their
researches and examinations they are
convinced they are unconstitutional
as is the case with Judge Smith.
In these cases 1t is evident the law
seeks only to give dispatch to the
taking Of rights of way or easements
for public utilities and the like. and
provides for the Assessing of dam
ages in due time In these instances
the pipe line company would be re-
quired in due time to pay the assess
ed damages and can under the old
law obtain the easement any way.
One real point at issue is, If the
indemnifying bond is not sufficient
and should afterwards prove not to
be good, where would the landown-
err have redress? There is no ques-
ton about the right to take the land
under the old law. If the new is de-
cIared unconstitutional by the higher
court. that is, should Judge Smith
be sustained, and the damages would
be determined by jury. Thus. the
landowners will not be able to keep
the company from passing through
theirl ands with the pipe line. But,
before it could no so, the damage
would be determined and guaran-
teed.
Under the new law. if Judge
Smith is reversed, the pay for the
property together with its amount
would not be until after the company
has entered into and enjoyed the
use of the property. The new law
is convenience to the pipe line com
pany and an Inconvenience to the
landowners. The pipe line COM
pany under it may enjoy rights
without paying for them for time
and thus the landowners must wait
for their money. It also puts it up
TO the landowners to hasten to court
to compel the company to pay for the
right way, as the company is en-
- T.
to see that the men it got those
rights of are remunerated. In other
words, the. burden is on the land
owners to get pay for the rights the
company already enjoys.
And after all, the question large
" depends on whether lands shall
be paid for at the time they are taken
and this at least gives weight to the
decision.
