THE EXTRA SESSION.

The consensus OF opinion among
newspapers OF the state seems 10 be
decidedly adverse TO the proposed ex-
ira session OF the Legislature. par
ticularly against an extra session OF
the Legislature called without the ad-
vice and approval of the Governor. Il
is generally assumed that Governor
Hatfield and the other state officials
are In close touch with the states H.
nances. that they will recognize the
necessity for an extra session IL one
exists. and they will act at the proper
time II action becomes necessary.
The Intelligencer does not share
the prejudice against extra and con.
tinued sessions of the Legislature.
which seems 10 be expressed In some
quarters. AS matter OF fact II
would be well for the state OF West
Virginia II our Legislatures sat STA
months each year and maintained a
continuous calendar. so that meas.
ures unfinished at one session could
the succeeding session.
Sessions OF the Legislature may be
costly In a small way, but the tax
payers OF this state suffer far more
from failure to pass good laws. laws
that we ought TO have and ought 20
have had years ago, than from the
petty extravaganza OF the Legisla.
lures. We ought to have had a tax
on oil and gas many years ago. II
we had such a tax. the state to-day
would be UNNECESSARILY richer We
have been prevented from having
such tax largely because our Legis
latures have been idiotically restrict
ed to short sessions and their time
consumed by political broils.
However. 1t will not at the present
time better the situation to recall the
failures OF past Legislative sessions
Our present legislature is evenly dt
vided politically in the Senate. Any
practical man knows what that
means. For legislative purposes If
