CAN'T FORCE WEST
VIRGINIA TO PAY IT,
SAYS DEAN HOCG

Morsantown, ". Va, March s.
Dean Charles e. Hogs, one OF the
counsel in the debt suit. last night
made this statements:
Il was not aware that a conclusion
had been reached In the Virginia
debt case until the receipt of your
| telegram. Of course l have not seen
the opinion and cannot know what
principle or doctrine Of the law a
| decision adverse to our State was
rendered. Whether decree in
equity can be- enforced against one
State in favor Of another State has
never been expressly decided by the
Federal Supreme Court. In the ar
gument Of this case the position was
taken by counsel for West Virginia
that the court possesses no such
power and no attempt was made to
overthrow the argument In support
OF 1T. There are many expressions OF
individual opinions by justices of the
supreme court to the effect that a
Judgment against a State cannot be
enforced and i'll several opinions
where the question properly arose the
court has decided that it has no
power to levy taxes for the payment
OF State debt, as such act is not a
judicial act and that thu power OF
taxation in order to meet such obi
cations belongs to the legislative
sovereignty of the State.
Cannot Compel Payment.
The court.cannot compel the leg
islature Of West Virginia, in my
opinion, to levy a tax or appropriate,
money Or issue bonds to provide
for the payment Of the decree which
has been rendered in this case and
1T cannot create a commission for the
purpose of collecting a tax or Issuing
bonds for that purpose and thus Gre
ate liability against the State to be
met by the revenues Of the State in
any manner whatsoever.
Decision a Surprise.
III 1t be true that the court has
rendered a decree for so large an
amount againsc us as l have been
informed, the decision seems utterly
irreconciliable with the principles an
nounced In the ordinance OF 1861 or
the equitable provisions of the con-
Of 1861"

GRAVEL LAKE NOT DRY.

Low Water.
Fargo Forum: In an item which the
Forum published on Dec. Is, under Rol-
la, N. d., date line, the statement was
made that Gravel Lake, from which
the state fish hatchery gets its supply
had gone dry and that it had been
necessary to construct a drain from
CARRIER lake to keep up the supply.
R. w. Main, state fish commission
er, writes the Forum as follows ex-
planning the error in the item:
"Gravel lake did not go dry, but as
in other lakes and streams in the state
owing to the unprecedented drouth the
past summer, many lakes and streams
are abnormally low.
"The same condition existing in
Gravel lake, we had the choice Of two
propositions, lower our conduit pipes,
or ditch ,and drain CARRIER lake. The
cost being about the same, we chose
the latter.
"We now have, without depending
on snow or rain, a normal stage Of
water, also by diverting the waters of
CARRIER lake we have system Of drain
age that conducts the surplus waters
from several other large lakes, which
we can control and use to good advan-
tage.
"The cost of this work was paid by
citizens of st. John, Rolla and Cando. -

beautifully finished panel showing
