1bere is considerable figuring for
the board to do before il can award
the contract for the building. The
contractors were ssked to submit Z
bid for the building called for by
the plans and specifications and
then submit estimates on five OF six
alternate propositions. These esti-
mates must all be gone over care
fully and compared before the
board can really determine which
is the lowest bid. No conclusion
had been reached when we went to
press.

ATTENTION STOCKMEN

There will be a special meeting
of the Nevada Cattle Owners AS
ISOLATION held on June 9th at Elko,
Nevada. All cattle ;aisers are ur-
gently requested to be present at
this meeting as many important
matters r to be discussed.
The special meeting is called.
By order of the Executive Com
mittee.
Daily independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 188?-1915, 1914-06-04
True, ue called the meeting

teue, We called the meeting OF
citizens q "Teapot Tempest" and
reported it just as IL sppeared to
US. We thought then and think
now that the result Of the meeting
showed it to be a very small tenn
pest in b very little teapot, consid-
ering what was accomplished by
those responsible for the meeting.
For what We said, we have no
apologies to make to anyone.
Now, let us see what caused the
editor of the Free Press to make
his charge in Mondays issue. The
article TN which he bases bis silly
charge against che Independent was
published in the issue of May 28th.
May 29th passed and no charge was
made. McHday the county COM
missioners met and he had a claim
before them for SIP for publish
ing the ordinance for the number
ing of the houses of the town for
the free delivery service. Know
ing that bill would call forth criti-
cism from the taxpayers unless
something was set in mutiun to
DISTRACT their attention, he jumps
onto the Independent and attempts
to take the attention of the taxpay-
ers of the town away from the $50
steal in his bill. a very slick
scheme, but it will not work.
According to his bill, the ordi-
nance took less than a column of
space and was published for one
week. The rate charged was So
per square of ten lines nonpareil
type for the first insertion and 81
per square for each of five subse-
quent insertions. The law under
which he made the charge says:
"All advertising ordered or re-
quired bv the state of Nevada or
by the respective counties of the
state shall be paid for by the state
or the county ordering or requiring
the same at the rate Of two dollars
per square Of ten lines nonpareil
measurement for the first insertion
and one dollar per square for each
subsequent insertion; IN insertion
to be held to be one publication
per week whether the Newspaper in
which such advertising is ordered
to be done be~published daily or
weekly"
Mark what the law says-"an in.
sertion to be held to be one publi-
cation per week whether the news
paper in which such advertising is
ordered to be done be published
daily or weekly"
Under this law the $50 charged
for the five insertions after the
FIRST was an illegal charge. justly
characterized by Com missioner
Peck as daylight robbery.
Now look upon this great de-
fender Of the rights of the people.
With one hand he reaches into the
pockets of the taxpayers and takes
$50 to which he is not entitled and
with the other sings. taffy to the
same people through the columns
of his paper.
Are we not justified in saying
that his attack on US was for the
purpose of directing public aiten-
tion away from what Commissioner
Peck characterized as q daylight

Authorizing the president and the

losing a quorum just as some new
business was to be introduced, was
