WASHINGTON. ID. c.. July 5.-lf
West Virginia has 10 pay the tudg.

and when is the best time 70 pay?
Congressman Edward Cooper an
Swered those questions today in a way
that Is startling, TO say the least.
snow IL the time to raise the mon.
ey and pay" said Mr. Cooper. ."if we
have TO pay. Now while we are in war
and times are good. The big bust
ness OF the state will have 10 pay the
Judgment or the compromise when q
settlement IL made, and II is better TO
do II now. Coal, oil and gas. and busi-
ness OF that kind that is making large
profits for the government, could sad
die on this Judgment and settle II up.
When the next tax law goes on the
books. such business will not be al
lowed to take over per cent profits
anyway. The Federal government
wouldn't lose either. for II would get
the bulk OF the money paid over to the
plaintiffs in the debt suit. We could
show the government that Virginia
debt certificates were dealt in for 5
cents each, the government would al
low the certificate owners 10 retain
that much and would take the diner
ence as excess profits. This would
be bit OF ironic fate for the Virginia
debt crowd that West Virginians
would greatly enjoy.
Uncle Sam is going to take all but
eight per cent. Of war profits in West
Virginia, so why not get together and
settle the debt cast II we must now
and get II over with. Whatever we
paid over on it, Uncle Sam would get
anyway. He will get il anyhow either
direct CT via the certificate holders.
II II is got TO be paid. and IL looks
very much that way, big business in
West Virginia will have to pay il. and
il is in better way to do IL now than
after war profits cease TO be. don't
think Uncle Sam would object. seeing
as how he is bound to get his any
way
