TO ATTACK HIGH SCHOOL LEVY
The Santa Fs Railroad Preparing q
Gaze to Test lts Validity.

The Santa Fe Railroad company
paid their taxes for 1908 under pro
test, claiming that the levy made by
the county commissioners under the
authority Of the Barnes High School
law, which our county voted to adopt
at the 1906 election, was illegal. The,
are preparing a case in every, county
where the law was adopted under the
same circumstances. 1t appears from
what their attorneys say, that the Law
says that q majority Of the qualified
electors voting at the election where
the high school proposition is voted
on, is necessary in order to carry 1t,
This question was voted on in this
county at the general election of 1906
and resulted in a vote OF 1850 for
the proposition, and 1101 against, Q
majority Of 50. But the total vote
cast on the question was only 1881,
while the total number Of electors
voting at that election was 1902, that
being the number Of votes cast for
secretary Of state. e.
The taxes which this county gets
under this levy from the Santa Fe
amount to about $500, and that Is
quite a sum toward educational fl
nances. We have heard or had no
opinion expressed, but we are
very much in hopes that the con-
tention Of the railroad company will
not stick.
