fury, and often, whether right OF
wrong, launches iuto perfect TRADE
of abuse, with little regard for the eff
feet it may have on the public, whom
he is striving to benefits The work of
whole lifetime may be rendered alb
ortive by sudden departure from
long established custom and hon
est and earnest endeayor to better con-
ditions in the community, in which he
lives.
Let it be understood, in no uncertain
manner, that we are in no wise retract-
ing any thing we have said regarding
the principle of bonding community
without the consent of the taxpayers.
The principle is most vicious one
and should not be allowed to stand un-
challenged. The highest tribunal in
the land should be called upon to limit
the powers of the legislature, and de-
eide mooted question once and for all
time. 1t is one of the gravest
problems confronting the State of Ne
vada today, and every citizen has a
vital interest i'll its solution. IF this
piece of infamous legislation is per.
mitted to stand, every safeguard has
been thrown aside and the constitution
al rights of the people are thus ruth
lessly trampled under foot. Even
Wells itself, is deeply interested in the
question of the RIGHTS OF THE PEO-
PILE TO RULE. If this pernicious
law is permitted to remain on the
statute books of the state by acquie-
cence, the people admit it as good law,
they are probably sleeping on their
rights and will be forever barred
from challenging similar legislative
enactment, even thought millions of
dollars may be involved This is a
small matter so far as dollars and
cents go, and the cause is @ righteous
one, but the method of procedure is all
wrong, and the issue involved is a
stupendous one and is fraught with
grave danger. The rights of the peo-
pie must and shall be preserved.
