Attorney General POliaFd i lies bfhei
Saying West Virginia Can be Made
{, to Pay. ,,
u: Washington, March 21.-Attorney-
General John Garland Pollard, 2dn a
brief urging the Supreme Court to is
sue writ of mandamus to compel
the West Virginia Legislature to
lew a tax for the payment of the
s13, 900 Judgment in the Virginia
debt case, issues the solemn warning
that the DEGREES of the highest judIc-
ial tribunal Of the land, affecting the
relations of the States, will be little
better than waste paper" should West
Virginia contention be substantiatea
that the court has no power to force
payment.
Mr.. Pollard contends that the Su-
preme Court has the same right to
compel West Virginia to pay as 1t
has to compel municipal body or 4
private citizen to pay its obligations.
He cites number of decisions, rela-
ting to the powers of the court and
its authority to settle legal questions
between States. He claims that the
court has as much right to manda-
mus state as it has to manda-
/ mus a municipality. He declares that
while the court has no power to levy
a tax, it has power to compel a
State Legislature to levy tax for
the payment of it's obligations.
Mr.. Pollard also declares that il
is, of necessity, implied in the Con,
stitution that the court, in being
given power to determine the exist
ence of debt, should also have power
to devise ways and means to compel
payment.
