vested in the district, in mines, in real
estate and in business and this com.
munity does not intend to be run and
governed by the Consolidated. This
company tries to say who shall do
business in this camp and who shall
not. 1t says who shall be elected to
office and who shall not; it tries to
dictate who shall be the judges of
our courts and who shall select the
juries; what wages shall be paid by
the town people, whether town people
shall hire union workmen or not. This
attitude toward the community Of
Goldfeld is unbearable to those who
have large interests here. The Gold
field News has $150,000 invested in
Goldfeld, in its business and its real
estate. We do not propose for instance,
that the Consolidated shall elect its
assessor and board of equalization to
make it's taxes light and throw the
burden upon the people of tI'" con
munity, who are barely mak..s dv-
ing while the Consolidated is turning
out a million a month and paying near
ly 100000 quarterly in dividends.
The oppressive power of concentrated
wealth is being felt in this community
as it is in some of the eastern coal
mining camps and manufacturing
towns; and the sturdy men of the
west-those who came into this camp
at the time that George Wingfeld did,
and worked shoulder to shoulder with
him in advertising and building it up,
do not intend to be oppressed or run
out of the camp simply because he hap
pened to make the money instead Of
the other fellow. The Goldield Con.
solidated will get all that is coming
from The News and will be treated
with absolute fairness by this paper
and by our people, but W. must be
treated fairly by the company, too. Il

concerned, it could make money Dy
