Efforts to hold the West Virginia.i
legislature responsible for the presen-%
stringency in the fiscal affairs Of the
state since payment of generalE
charges on he treasury We're suspend
ed last Thursday, have been unsuc-
cessful for the reason that those who
would lay the present moratorium at
the door or the legislature have been
una BILE to show where the 1915 legis-l
lature could have prevented the pres
sent condition of the treasury.
The legislature could have passed
no measure that would have become
effective in time to have enabled the
treasury to continue payment on all
requisitions. There was bound to BIZ
Ia shortage and the legislature could
have provided only against future

have passed bills that would have
raised i1nm ediate revenues su hcient

fures like the production tax, income
tax or excise tax could not have been
made operative in less than four to
six months and would not have re-
Elieved the present situation. The
only bills that were introduced in the
Legislature, that would have produced
Immediate revenue were the White
corporation charter tax bills, and the
White power Of attorney bill.
These bills would have brought in

July amounting to about s25e.eee,

These bills passed the Senate in both
