TEXT
OF the Act Creating a Com
mission on The Old Debt
Question.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Feb. 2s.
The adoption by both branches Of the
Of resolution creating
the Virginia debt commission to be
composed of eleven members, means
that West Virginia is now preparing
for a, final adjustment of the debt
differences between the old and new
states.
The resolutions provides that the
commission shall be appointed by the
governor and that the governor shall
convene, the legislature whenever the
commission is ready to make its re-
port for consideration by the legisla-
t9rea The commission, however, will
mot be named by Governor Glasscock,
whose term expires on March 3.
While the resolution does not pro-
vide that the incoming governor shall
make the appointment, Governor
Glasscock has said he would not ap-
point a eepmission whose duty it
would be to report to his successor.
Many conferences were necessary
between the two legislative branches
before a resolution was agreed upon.
The Senate would not agree to the
one Delegate Hall of the House had
offered, and the House. would, not
agree To- the one, offered by Senator
MaeCorkle. The resolution finally
adopted was the result Of several con
fefences between the two branches.
The resolution adopted is as fol-
lows:
Creating commission known. as
the Virginia debt commission to pro
y.de for arranging and settling with
the state OF Virginia the proper pro-
portion Of the public debt of the ori-
ginal state Of Virginia, il any should
be borne by West Virginia, to take
into consideration all matters aris-
ing between the state of Virginia and
the state OF West Virginia in refer
erice to said original public debt, and
to report its proceedings to the. COVER
nor Of the state. i
Whereas, the commonwealth of
Virginia instituted a suit in the su-
preine court OF the United States
against the state of West Virginia to
have the state Of West tirginia's
proportion OF the public debt of vir-
ginia as 1t stood before 1861 ascer-
tanned and satisfied; and,
Whereas, at the October term, 1910,
the supreme court Of the United
States made a finding that the share
Of the principal debt Of the original
state of Virginia. to be borne by the
state of West Virginia, was $7.lS2,-
6O7.46; and,
Whereas, said court did not fully
