WEST VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE

WEST VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE.
"Watchful waiting" has been the
course pursued by the legislature so
far ii dealing with The knottiest
problem facing the law-making body
that of taxation. No attempt has
been made until the present time by
the committee before which the vari-
Gus tax measures are pending to un-
dertake any discussion until this
time,
The first step toward securing
some expression of the view enter
tainea by those in the legislature as
well IS those not of the legislature
but who would be effected by any tax
laws enacted has been taken by the
finante committee of the house which
begar a series of hearings on Tues
day night, which will last during the
entire week, when the subject of tax
alton in general will be considered
from all angles. 1t is doubtful if
there will be any definite legislative
action taken either in or out of COM
mittees until after such hearings are
concluded.
The legislature to date has enacted
fifteen bills into law, eight Of which
were emergency measures passed at
the preliminary session. The others
relate to additional levies for the
completion of court houses, Clarks-
burg charter, Warrington charter,
Warrington independent school dis
trict, summoning of jurors from
another county in criminal cases,
special levies to complete high
school in Ripley district of Jackson
county and the Mcdowell county
