HOLDS WEST VIRGINIA
CAN BORROW MONEY
Attorney General Of State Renders
Opinion That Gov. Hatfield Has
Authority to Act.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, April AT
torney General Lilly has returned to
State Auditor Darst and Treasurer
Long an opinion to the effect that GOV.
Hatfield has authority under the laws
of this safe to borrow money TO meet
a deficit in the revenues.
After a review of the financial con-
dion of the state, the Attorney zen.
eral concludes:
There exists now no extraordinary
or peculiar reason why the state. pS
it's chief executive officer, cannot Dor
row money to tide the finances OF the
state over until such time as they can
be, if proper economy is invoked. ana
old appropriations that have hereto
fore not been expended are not now
| expended, replenished when the rev.
enues which the legislature has pro-
yided are made available in the pres
| ent biennial period

workmenS compensation 1uhd eau NC

money necessary to tide the state over

can be paid, and at the end OF the MS
| cal year 1917 there Will pc a paiaiice
in the state treasury to the credit OF
the state fund of from a quarter to a
half a million dollars.
No Reason for Existing Condition.
"It was not contemplated by the
forefathers who gave us the present
Constitution, nor by the legislatures
that have enacted laws in pursuance
| thereof and in conformity herewith.
nor by those executive officers who
| have made various administrative IN
terpretations and constructions of
their rights to borrow money, that
| those charged with the administration
of the states affairs would permit a
| condition to continue with reference to
| the states finances that would, in the
world, exhibit us as not being able to
meet conditions such as now exist by
| the borrowing OF money.
| LAS individuals we would not hesi-
| tate to meet our own financial wants
and necessities; then why should the
| cial ruin, bankrupt at home and with
| out credit abroad. impairing its own
prestige and fair name?
Can Borrow Money.
Therefore, in answer to your ques-
| tion as to whether or not money can
| beg to advise that it is my opinion that
when a casual deficit does exist, and
under the law and facts nothing more
of the state has right to borrow
| money.
1t is thought here that this decision
deprives Gov. Hatfield of any reason tc
call an extra session of the Legislature
| to impose new taxes upon the indus
tries of this state, which the governor
is thought to have contemplated.

PETER NASSETT'S ACCIDENT

Peter Nassett, young son of Aslak
O. Nassett of Shollsmade, has a very
sore hand as the result OF a very Pc
culiar accident which occurred the
first of the week. Peter and his
brother were hunting and when a
bunch Of chickens raised up both
fired. The charge from Peters gun
bored a hole through the barrel of
his brothers gun. While Peter was
examining the hole in the side Of
the barrel his brother accidentally
pulled the trigger and Peter received
a charge of the shot which came out
through the hole.
A large number of shot were deep
ly imbedded in the young mans
hand and it took considerable prob
ing to dislodge this small handful Of
shot. Aslak Nassett brought his son
to Amidon yesterday and antitetanic
serum was administered to guard
against lock jaw.-Slope County
