HERALD IS WRONG


In the last issue Of the Wells Her
aid. there appeared an article under
the caption OF 1.-THE Warfare is Still
Waged", in which the town OF Elko
is accused of opposing and fighting
unfairly the establishing of a Coun-
ty High School ut Wells.
Having no knowledge whatever Of
the facts in the case. we decided to
investigate, and present the facts to
our readers.
After n hasty but careful investiga-
ton. we find that sometime during
the wlnted of 1%912-1s14, claims were
advanced by some OF the Wells peo-
pie for establishment of a High School
A bill was introduced into and passed
by the legislature authorizing the es.
adjustment Of q High School at
Wells, and authorizing the Commits
sioners to sell bonds for the building
and for maintaining OF the same.
No provision was made in the bill
for submitting 1t to a vote of the peo-
pie Of Elko County.
The people Of Carlin, Deeth, Starr
Valley, Lamoillt, Ruby Valley. South
Fork, Mound Valley, Elko, Tuscarora
and other nearby places objected to
having the county bonded for any pur-
pose whatever without having the
privilege Of voting upon the question.
Many more-than the required mum.
Der OF names were signed to a
petition asking for q referendum vote
or the question.
The names of these signers are no
secret, and among them are the best
and most substantial citizens Of the
county.
Owing to a defect or oversight In
the law the referendum could not be
used for county purposes.
Failing in this, other legitimate op.
position was then made against the
bonding Of Elko County, without the
consent OF the taxpayers and voters
Despite the opposition, tho bonds
were finally sold and awarded under
tho terms Of the published notice.
Still feeling that NO one section OF
the county, or group therein, have the
right to bond the entire county for
any purpose whatever without giving
every section a chance and all the
people n chance to vote on the dues.
ton, n reputable citizen and heavy
taxpayer, Mr.. Dotta, of the town and
county OF Elko has exercised his RICH
right, and served the County Board
of Education with notice. enjoinIng
them from proceeding further.
The question comes In regular
form before tho Supreme Court Of
the state of Nevada for a decision.
After carefully Investigating this
entire matter we unhesitatingly state
that the Wells Herald Is wropg in It's
estimate 81 Blko and her citizens;
and further say We cannot soc why
anyone should object to a Supreme
Court decision on this important
point.

The International TypesettinS Ma
chine is capitalized at $4,000, 900 and

sive price charged for composing ma.

this machine Is the best and fastest
