make In this case no eomputa-
tlon Of interest"
The debt controversy in It's
present form was thrown into the
supreme court by failure Of the
debt commissions Of Virginia and
West Virginia TO agree upon the
amount OF interest West Vir-
oinia, when the amount OF prinei-
pal had been fixed at S7.s6o 900 by
the supreme court, declined to pay
interest and the negotiations be-
tween the two States collapsed.
The case has been carried TO the
supreme court with the result that
Mr.. littleheld was appointed
master TO determine the interest
controversy and ascertain whe-
ther or not West Virginia should
be allowed a part Of the assets Of
Virginia at the time Of the sepa-
ration.
The net result Of the case, " the
court upholds the Iittiefield find
inss. West Virginia will be COM
PEELED TO pay $1,000, 900 more
money 20 the old bond holders.
Findings No. Satisfactory.
The findings are not satisfact-
ory 20 the West Virginia delegs-
tion in congress. they discussed
the matter with Governor Hatfield
over the long distance telephone
today. and one prominent member
Of congress remarked. seriously,
that "there will be war before
West Virginia will ever agree 10
pay all that Interest" A feature
Of the case is that thirty years ago
West Virginia could have eompro-
missed the whole case by paying
$1,000, 600 but the legislature re-
fused TO do this.
Master LittIefeId says in one
section Of his report: "lt is my
conclusion that the assets are to
be valued January I, 1867, and
that the liability OF West Virginia
for interest begins on that date, by
virtue Of the contract between
her and Virginia, and runs at the
rate provided for In the bonds
that evidence the debt, and make
her interest an insepsrable part
thereof"

On January I. 1851. Master Lit

the amount Of sinking fund, which
has been accumulated on this
