A DECISION or
VAST IMPORTANCE
Suit in United States Supreme Court
vitality Effecting West
Virginia.

OF more Importance to the people
of West Virginia than the Virginia
debt suit or any other litigation in
which the state or her people are in
terested, is the King land case now
pending in the United States Supreme
Court, involving probably sl0o,00e,OOO
and affecting every county in the
state.
In the highest court of the nation
it is sought to have section OF ar
ticle 13 of the West Virginia constitu-
ton, providing for the forfeiture OF
land for failure of the owner to enter
it for taxation, declared in conflict
with the Fourteenth amendment of
the federal constitution restraining
a state from depriving any person of
life, liberty or property without due
process of law.
Great confusion OF land titles would
result in every county of West Vir-
ginia, more especially in the southern
counties of the state, ii the supreme
court were to hold that the forfeiture
section of the West Virginia constitu-
ton was in contravention with the
due process" clause of the federal
constitution.
It Is estimated that about 100000
900 are involved in the King land case
alone and the effect of an adverse de-
cision from the supreme court of the
United States would result in con-
troversies amounting to many more
millions. Not a county in the state
would escape, say some of those who
have watched the case.

stead of 100, the number ordered.
The company Is said to have fully 30

Oscar G.. Murray, who on Friday
next will relinquish the presidency Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to be-
come chairman Of the board Of direc-

would be very pleasing to all concern
ed, especially Senators Scott and
Elkins.
Elkins Active.
Senator Elkins is unusually active
beth in the senate, and in almost daily
conferences with President Taft. The
latest talk of Elkins with the presi-
dent, was about the Elkins nomination
demanding an investigation into the
increased cost of living.
President Taft does not have to
worry very much as to the cost OF
his kitchen and dining room expenses,
nor does Senator Elkins, but both are
eager to aid the millions who are I'M
rightly wrought up over the almost
daily pump in the prices OF food pro-
ducts the country over. One effect OF
the Elkins resolution demanding CT
fetal inquiry was sudden cutting OF
prices in the Washington market. The
produce dealers here have had their
own way for years, but they knew an
investigation ordered by congress,
would hit the Washington market first
of all. so they came down.
The labor organizations Of Wash
ington have also been stirred UP by
the Elkins resolution and not only
condemn the rapid increase in prices,
but as usual demand an increase in
wages to meet such prices.
