LaEin'S Power
As Member of the Board of Control
Might Easily be Used to
Control Votes.

Mr.. James S. Lakin's explanation of
his position in holding down the
state Craftsmanship without giving up
his job on the State Board of Control
is notable chiefly for what it does
not explain.
A letter from Mr.. Lakin to the
Governor is made public in which he
says he believed it his duty to ac-
cept the craftsmanship and concludes:
Therefore j respectfully ask a
leave of absence as member of the
State Board of Control from this date
until November 5th, without pay.
am glad to assure you that the work
of the board will not suffer in the
meantime, as I will give to the duties
of the office such attention as may
be demanded by working overtime
and otherwise"
In palmer language Mr.. Lakin
bluntly admits that it is his inten-
ton to remain a member of the Board
while he discharges the duties of the
craftsmanship. True, he will draw
no pay from September to Novem-
Der 5, but the dollars more or less in
volved in this matter are not the
crux of the situation.
The grave point is that the man.

Might Move to Ohio
Judging From Record as Senator,
Hatfield, if Elected, Might Es-
tabIish West virginia's Cap
ital at Cincinnati.

The flight of the fifteen Republican
Senators from the state capital to
the city of Cincinnati last January
and their sojourn in the Ohio city,
when they should have been engaged
in the work of passing state laws
for West Virginia, cost the tax pay
ers of West Virginia more than
$4,000 The total expense of the
Legislature was a little more than
$4,000 and the part of it which was
expended during the period when the
legislature was at stand still was
easily $4,000
DR.. Hatfield, reactionary candidate
for governor. was one Of the fifteen
Senators who spent portion of the
time OF the legislative session in
Cincinnati and assisted in piling up
an expense of $4,000 with no returns
whatever
The question arises in view of this
fact whether DR.. Hatfield, If he should
be elected governor and should find
himself in a tight place. would move
the Governors office to Cincinnati
and stop all business at the State
Capitol until he got ready to return.

August 10, 1912.
/ "Honorables John w. Davis, VIM. G.
Brown, Adam B. Littlepage and
John NJ Hamilton, Members OF
Congress from West Virginia,
lGentlemen:-
Referring to House Joint Resolu-
| ton No. IA, relative to the ante-war
debt of Virginia, which was referred
| to the subcommittee of the Judiciary
committee, of which we are members,
We have to say that among the many
matters claiming our attention, we
have been unable to give this matter
as full consideration as we desired,
or as the Importance of the question
demanded, and for that reason we can
not report it at this time We feel
satisfied, however, as to some of the
propositions involved.
I'VE have no doubt from the his
torical citations made by Mr.. Hamil-
ton in his argument before the full
ginia was created and the consent of
Congress and of President Lincoln
to its creation granted because of the
military exigencies existing at the
time and that the creation OF said
State is attributable to certain meas
ures OF war adopted by the Govern
ment, as set forth by Mr.. Blaine in
his history cited in the argument.
While We have not been able to
investigate them to our full satisfac-
ton, the precedents set forth in the
argument are very strong upon the
consideration of the question, and the
resolution and the matters therein
contained seem to come closely to, if
not entirely within, the scope of these
precedents.
I'VE can not announce our final
views at this time, but beg to sug-
gest that one trouble about the mat
ter is that this debt is not entirely
determined. While the Supreme
Court has in preliminary way ascer-
tanned the principal, yet the question
OF interest remains wholly unsettled;
and as the interest may, if the Court
shall so find, largely exceed the
amount of the principal, it is apparent
that the amount which you ask the
Government to assume is indefinite
and undetermined, and We are clear
ly of opinion that we would not be
justified in reporting in favor of Gov
eminent assumption in advance of the
determination of the amount to be
assumed.
AS it is impossible that the total
amount of the debt can be determined
at this time, or that the committee
can give full consideration to all the
important questions involved, at the
present session of Congress, we think
it better to defer action at this time.
