TASK OF FRAMING
new ORGANIC ACT
Our State Constitution of
This Century to Be as Wise
and Fair as That of 1873.
NO REPEAL BY RIDER
THEODORE W. MOVES,
Editorial Correspondence Of The star.I

Ill.
"More haste, less speedn is the nat
ural verdict upon the attempt to
force Immediate repeal of the half
and-half law by rider upon an appro-
priation bill, which must in the pub
lie interest become law by the first of
next month.
Present inaction is safer than over
hasty action. Much harm is feared by
the Distict from alteration of its
fundamental law at this time in this
way. No harm can come from the de-
lay which is required for careful and
thorough consideration of the new
organic act which after the precedent
OF the law Of 1873 may govern the re-
lations between nation and capital for
the next forty or fifty years.
Evidence has demonstrated and the
joint congressional fiscal committee
has reported that the half-and- half
law is fair to the nation; that under
1t the capital is equitabiy taxed and
that under 1T the nation pays not too
much, but too little for capital up
building.
The nation, therefore. does not sur
fer from the continued existence and
operation OF the half-and-haK law,
pending the careful framing of q wise
and just substitute.
The nation retains. meanwhile, in
its exclusive possession the right and
power to determine to the minutest
detail what the relation between IT
and its capital shall be. 1t forfeits

There were just three basketball
teams OF note In situations for higher
education in West Virginia the past
season. They were West Virginia Uni
vcrsity. West Virginia Wesleyan and
Davis Elkins colleges. The strength OF
these teams varied greatly. The two
strongest one. West Virginia University
and West Virginia Wesleyan. did not
meet and played only three teams in
common. On the basis Of comparative
scores in these games. West Virginia
had tho strongest team. She beat Mar
i"tta College on her own floor as well
us at home, while Wesleyan lost to
Marietta At Marietta, tho winning at
B~uckhannon. In their games with Fair
mont Y. NJ. G. A. West Virginia also
had the advantage winning both her
contests handily while Wesleyan could
only secure an even break. Both Wcs-
leyau and the state university beat
Davis-Elkins College in all games
played.
West Virginia University played n
very difficult schedule, winning eight
and losing eight OF the sixteen games
played. Notable victories were over the
University Of Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh,
Pa. Allegheny College, and Marietta Col
leGc. Pood games were also played with
Cornell and other large eastern univer-
stiles.
Wesleyan won a larger percentage Of
her games than did the university but
