SENATE sTRoNe FOR CHARl esIoN,

The State Senate, Tuesday morn
ing, passed by a vote of 20 to 10.
this resolution:
THAT the seat of government
should not be changed, but should
remain at the City of Charleston
and the capitol building should be
rebuilt at said city without any UNI
reasonable or unnecessary delay,
and that for good order, the peace
and welfare of the State all efforts
for the removal OF the Capital from
said city should be abandoned"
The Senate has acted wisely and we
hope much that its resolution will
put an end 10 further agitation for
removal of the Capital from Charles
ton.
On Wednesday, the Goth, the day
before the preliminary session of
the Legislature adjourned, the
House Of Delegates, by vote of
80 to 30, concurrcd in the foregoing
resolution Of the Senate.
This definitely settles the agita-
lion for removal of the Capital
which will remain at Charleston.
All the fuss made petercd down to
a tempest in a teapot.

COAL. OIL AND GAS BILLS.

Two very important bills were in
troduced in the West Virginia Sem
ate by Senator Polling which refer
10 a tax on coal. oil and gas.
1t is provided in the first instance
that every person producing coal
shall pay TO the State privilege
license tax Of two cents on every
ton Of coal mine run produced in
this State.
The license would be due. and
payable scmiannually on January
1st and July list, within As days
after expiration of each of the semi
annual periods and every person
liable TO the tax imposed is rcQuir-
ed TO make and file detailed state
ment showing location. The tax
assessed constitutes first lien and
is in addition 10 all other taxes. A
fine OF 1900 TO $4,000 and inn
priEonmonl Of one year or both are
provided by way Of penalties.
Onc-third Of The money collected
under the act would go 10 the gen
cral State Fund, one-third 10 The
State School Fund and onc-third 10
the Road Fund. The amount paid
To Inc State fund or so much there
Of rs Is necessary would be used
TO pay Inc Virginia Debt bonds.
The bill provides that no person
after July II. 1921. may engage in
or continue the production of coal
without first securing from the State
Tax Commissioner license upon
payment OF the privilege tax impos-
ed
The other bill by Senator Polling
applies similarly to every person
producing petroleum oil or natural
gas or refining, distilling or manu-
featuring any products thercfrom.
Ihe'taN is two cents a barrel on the
oil and onc-half cent upon every

CAPITAL MATTER UP SATURDAY.

In the House OF Delegates nj
Charleston last Saturday a rcsolu-
ton passed by the Senate providing
for the appointment of commits
sion instructed to report plans and
specific atoms for a new Capitol
building to replace the building de-
stroycd by fire on the Sd, was un-
der consideration. The House was
asked TO concur in this resolution.
Then the fight began. George W.
McClintic led the fight for Charles
ton and Delegate Stothcrs. of Har-
riSon county, for Clark sburg. The
first vote, as we understand. came
on al amendment TO the Senate res
olutiOn offered by Mr.. Stethcrs
providing. in substance, that no
action be taken by the commission
until the question Of the relocation
The States Capital shall have been
definitely determined. This amend
mcnt prcvailcd-4G for to A. a
gainst. DR.. McClintic voting against
IL, Mr.. Bivcns for it. on The ground
that ii would be unwisc aud waste
OF money to secure plans for Il
Capitol building which, in all prob
ability would mol be the kind of
building desired on The grounds Sc
cured III the city that might be Sc
!cctcd as the States Capital.
His idea seemed TO be that
Charleston in securing plans for Il
new building bcfor the location had
been decided upon, was simply
putting the cart before the horse.
Charleston, of course, was anxious
to secure whatever advantage there
might be in speedy action.
The Senatc's resolution as amend
cd by the House as aforesaid was
agreed TO.
The people here being all for
Charleston. as we believe, and
much opposd to the agitation for a
relocation of the States Capital,
were surprised and worried Satur-
DAY afternoon when a message
came by wire that Mr.. Bivcns was
voting with the proponents of re-
location. The tense feeling was
much relieved when Mr. .Biyens'
vote and position were better un-
dcrstood. Mr.. Bivcns, as we are
informed. is opposed to the apita-
tlon and will vote to retain the
Capital at Charleston.

MCCLINTIC SPEAKS FOR CHARl EsToN,

Hon. George w. McCGntic, of
Charleston, leading Republican
member Of the House of DELEGATES.
occupied the floor for an hour last
Friday presenting the claim of
charleston to be considered and ac-
knowledgcd as the permanent seat
OF the State Government. He strong
~ opposed a removal of the Capital
from its present location, mainiuin-
ing, with much vigor, that under the
act Of 1877, the vote of the people
taken in pursuance Of this act, and
certain contracts and deeds made
between the people of Charleston
and the State, the Capital had been
definitely and permanently located
III Charleston, so that the Legisla-
! ture now has no power or right TO
remove it and that change of To-
cation can be made only by the
people.
In his argument Mr.. McClintic
presented some interesting facts
touching the merits of question:
In 1877, he said, the Ferguson
act of which James Fl. Ferguson, of
hanawha county, was author, was
passed, submitting the question TO
vote Of the people.
mere were three candidates for
The Capital, Clarksburg. Martins
burg and Charleston Clark sburg
received 1926, Martinsburg 500
and Charleston 41,2I3, more Than
me first two combined. Il was q
clean. clear cut victory for This
city, Mr.. McClintic said.
And that is not all" he said.
PROVISIONS that were intended TO
| MAKE Il contract. a compact. be-
tween the State of West Virginia
and the people of Charleston were
MADE permanently locating the seat
Oh government in this city. These
provisions cannot be changed with
OUT constitutional convention.
Inc contract said the Capital shall
never be located elsewhere cxccDt
by the people Of the Stale
"hcn the Capital came TO Charles
ION Inc State House Company was
formed and built the first CapiioI
IN the city Of Charleston. This and
Il tract Of ground was conveyed IN
me state by deed, on condition that
the scat OF government remain here
permanently.
The first building was erected
at a cost Of about 100000. The
State later made additions TO the
original Capitol building.
Hc cited the facts to show how
the two sections of the State, North
Hcrn and Southern. had Jared in the
distribution of the high Offices
Governorship, U. S. Senator's and
in the location of the State Institu.
TONS showing that the Northern
section had been greatly favored.
For many years, he said the Cap
lial had been on wheels or rather
on bargcs and steamboats, plyinp
Letwccn Wheeling and Charleston.
Ec:h and every one OF you are
under moral obligation not 10 put
this Capital on wheels, but leave IL
where 1t now Is. Do not make IL

THAT BOUNDARY LINE,

All tH uHSlSHu article appearing
last week on the first page of the
Nicholas Republican. published ut
Redwood. the Indcpendent-bc
cause of IFS brief and, as we sup
posed. harmless comment on the
larccnouS proposition, coming from
or at any rate out of. Nicholas
county. calling for very material
change in the boundary line be-
tween the two counties and seeking
the assignment TO Nicholas of from
81 TO 100000 acres of Grccnbricr
ierriiory-gravcly charges us with
an intention TO prejudice the holy
proceeding, the aim and object of
which is not stated nor even Sug-
gcStcd.
We doubt if one in hundred of
The people Of Nicholas ever heard
until now Of the desire for new
boundary line between the two
counties and regret that the writer
of this article did moi saw distinctly
what II means and inform us of the
motive. If he thinks that
Greenbricr has not been Just TO
this mountain region in the matter
OF roads why did he not say what
Nicholas proposes to do for it?
Have the two or three hundred pco-
pie living in the mountain triangle
any assurance that Nicholas will
or can 10 any more for them than
Greenbrier has done? Does the de-
mand for Grecnbrier territory
spring solely from an unselfish de-
sire to help these peopl?
Our contemporary, the Anderson
advertiser, seems to have learned
something about the motive behind
the boundary question. Let us hear
what ii says:
The move TO take 10000 or Co.
600 acres Of land from Grccnbricr
county and add it TO Nicholas is
said to be in the interest Of 4 hard
road between Fleetwood and Web
ster Springs. DR.. James McClung,
former Senator from the Ninth
District, is active for the PROPOSE
ton. The land that would be ar--
fecfed by this pariitlonins lies in
the Grcenbrier. Webster and Nicho-
las triangle and is said to be owned
by few coal companies, which no
doubt, will object to the legislation
proposed. The population of the
acreage is less than 800, il is stat
ed, and the land is very slightly i'm
proved in the matter of highways.
The main object Of the movement
Is to connect fleetwood and Web
ster Springs in modern highway
sense"
This explanation does not satisfy.
1t is not clear TO us why great
area of Grecnbricr's territory
should be assigned to Nicholas in
order to get road from Redwood
to Webster Springs. And inasmuch
as the territory through which this
road would pass is practically I'M
lnhabItcd. we doubt if there is, or
can be, any strong demand for it.
What great advantage TO either
can there be in connecting Rich
wood and Webster Springs?
Looking further for Il motive for
ms change OF boundary line we
are led to suspect that ii NAV be
found III the heads OF some Of The
entcrpriSing men Of FLEETWOOD who.
yet dreaming Of that town as the
Capital OF a new county, think they
see point gained in pushing the
line OF Nicholas ID or 20 miles far
Their east from lis existing proximity
TO the town. Perhaps our friend,
DR.. McClung, who dreams big
dreams and hoppe for their fulfill
ment, will relieve an ANXIOUS public
by revealing the usetvc back of
this startling project.

MRS. RICHARD WARWAS DIES
SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY
Beloved Church Worker OF American
Falls Had Nearly Recovered
From Severe Operation When
Heart Action Failed.

The sudden death of Mrs. Winnie
warwas, wife of Prof. Richard War
was OF the Manual Training Depart
ment of the High School, on Sunday
afternoon, Sept. 4, was a shock TO the
whole community. Mrs. Warwas had
been under treatment in the Hospital
for a few weeks, and had undergone
an operation of a serious character.
She had improved to such an extent
that. she was removed TO her home,
and was apparently out Of all danger.
On Sunday afternoon however she was
stricken with heart failure and passed
quietly away in a few minutes. The
family accompanied her remains TO
Chicago Monday evening.
Mrs. Warwas leaves a husband and
two daughters who are we'll known in
American Falls and a large circle OF
relatives and friends In her home city,
Chicago, where her marriage took
place 10 years ago Sept. 18th. She
moved west with her husband to Po-
catello In 1911, and TO American Falls
in 1914.
Mrs. Warwas was an active mem
Der of the Baptist church, both in Chi
cago, Pocatello and American Falls.
She was a model home-maker. She
possessed an artistic taste of unusual
quality and her home was a charming
expression of her love for the beau
tiful in color and arrangement. Her
taste and efficiency we're exhibited In
every household ministry, whether the
preparation and arrangement of the
family meal, or the culture of her
fayorite flowers or the discussion of
some musical selection or noted COM
poser. She was her husbands help
meet and affectionate counsellor in
every real sense. She was a model
mother. Her home radiated affection
mellowed and sanctifled by the spirit
OF religion. She was an Incompatible
hostess; and many partook Of her gem
erous hospitality and maryeled at her
skill In every household art.
Her activities were unceasing In the
circle of home and church, and there
her removal will be felt most deeply
and keenly.
