The Independent does no county Job

(which it does without authority or

or right to pay such bill and because
it was not paid the Independent cries
''stop thief"
We have obtained from the county
clerk certified copies of all printing
bills presented at the last meeting of
the County Commissioners. These

The State Superintendent on the High
School Question.

EDITOR WORLD: In answer to re-
quest for an opinion of the State Su-
perintendent or Attorney General, /
received the following letter last Sat-
urday. AS it contains much infOrma-
tion of interest to the readers of our
county papers will you please publish
it? 1t reads as follows:
TOPEKA, KAN, July IA, 1897
Supt. A. s. Peacock, Wa-Keeney. Kan
DEAR SIR: There is question to the
legality of establishing County High
School. upon petition signed by majority
of the electors of the county, as provided for
in Section 6, Chapter 1s0. Session Laws of
1897. In my judgment, the only safe method
of procedure is by petition, since the law
makes no provision for calling election
and does not prescribe the manner in which
such election shall be conducted
The county commissioners would have no
right to pay out any money for any purpose
besides that of the wages of teachers en-
ployed by them
The State Board of Education will meet in
October. when the matter of courses of study
for high schools will be considered, provided
there is any demand for such course of
study. Respectfully yours.
VIM. STRYKER,
Superintendent of Public Instruction.

and paid out of the county funds, ex-
penSeS of A. S. Peacock, incurred
while electioneering for the County
High School, and that other illegal
bills were allowed at said meeting,
therefore, we, the undersigned citi-
zens and taxpayers of Trego county,
hereby urge the county attorney to
protect the interests of the taxpayers
of Trego county from such impOsi-
tiOns, and urge him to make careful
examination of the claims presented
and allowed, and if the same were not
proper and legal charges against the
county, that he bring an action at
once, to recover the same.
At their last meeting the Board of
Commissioners were unanimous in in
structing the attorney to collect sew
eral seed grain notes. long past due,
and Immediate action was suggested
in the case of Judge Tunnel as he
drew his salary that day There is a
chance for second move. Will pc
tition be necessary? As the county at
torney seems to have lots of spare
time why not look up those Wallace
county cases?

The Petition Method.

We publish below petition which
is being circulated this week. We do
so because it shows that some people
really do not endorse the petition
method" despite their assertion to the
contrary. They also consider it nee
essary to petition the county attorney
to perform what they seem to think
is his plain duty. We hope he will
get move on himself. This copy was
circulated by Judge Tunnel and reads
as follows:
Whereas, 1t has been charged that
of TregO county, Kansas, at their last
meeting in July, 1897, allowed claims.

To the Readers of The Independent.

With a pernicious persistence that
would put Ananias and Sapphire to
shame, the Independent still cOntin-
ues to tell you that the election
eering expenses of the High School
petitions were paid from the public
funds. That paper knows better, be-
cause (if for no other reason) it has
been SO informed, and yet repeats it's
prevarications. 1t is best to call
things by their right names. The
whole story is lie and the fabricator
is a liar. These are the facts: The
petitions were typewriter by G. w.
Cross. Some of them were mailed by
A. S. Peacock who has personally paid
all the postage he has used in any
way in the furtherance of the High
school. Some of them were circulated
by Mrs. Lucy Best, Miss Neuen-
schwander, Walter Cross and Hudson
Harlan. They paid they own ex-
penses. Their conveyance was fur
nished by G.. w. Cross. Other per-
sons have solicited signatures. All
to establish the school because they
believe it would be of great benefit to
our pupils and comparatively mex
penSive. Not one of them has receiv-
ed cent of public or private funds
nor used any public funds, directly OF
Indirectly, nor have they sought to
secure any private advantage in re-
turn for their labor in the interest OF
the public. We ask a candid and
careful investigation of these state
ments, confident of their TRUTHFUL
ness.
