lyon COUNTY APPEALS
FOR SOLDIERS MEMORIAL

Lyon county should place me-
mortal for the services of her sons
in this war, both the living and
dead. Just what form that memor-
ial should take is a matter of fitting
suggestion, in due season. But we
should now begin to consider just
how best we can pass to the future
generations the full measure of our
appreciation for the sacrifices made
by those who went to the front from
our county.
Two Lyon county boys have made
the full sacrifice, and are numbered
with those who died for the cause of
world freedom from despotism and
it's hellishness. We should perpetu-
ate their memory, as well as ac-
knowledge our debt to those who
went forward, but return safely to
us.
Whether it be monument, or
some other form of memorial, let us
see that this is done.
The time is not here to consumate
the plans for such a memorial. but
we should be thinking about it, and
considering just how best 1t can be
done, in the most appropriate form
Regardless of national or State
memorials, Lyon county should have
her own.-Mason Valley News.

COURT ANNULS RECENT
NEVADA COLONY ELECTION
Grant Miller Is Leading Character in
Turbulent Scenes Resulting from
Disputed Election

In the District Court last Monday
Judge r. G. Hart handed down de-
cision in the case of Nevada Colony
Corporation, the matter involving
recent attempts of the stockholders
to elect a board of directors.
In the language of the court "the
wishes of the stockholders have moi
been fully and fairly expressed and
that the election complained of was
not conducted with entire regularity
or in full accordance with law. and
the order of the court is that said
election be set aside and that new
election be held as by law provided. .
The leading actors in this case
were A. Grant Miller and G Y. Eg-
gleston representing rival factions
and from Information gathered re-
garding the struggle for supremacy
1t was evident that someone mixed
the codes prior to the election as the
rules under which voting took place
were without question those of the
Marquis OF Queensberry.
Under the skillful examination oi
the witnesses by Attorney A l.
IIaight It was admitted that falling
to secure results by thas lagal weap-
! on the ballot. recourse Has had to
the strong arm methods go much in
vogue in the Tammany saherings
and with no less an individnal than
A. Grant Miller IN the leading role.
Upon this part of the examination
there was slight confusion of test
imony, one witness declaring that A.
Grant Miller rolled up his sleeves
and striking a pose after the manner
OF a modern Goliath thundered forth
his dictum, this being In effect a sort
OF come on Maeduff and damned
be he who first cries hold enuf."
Herein Mr.. Miller when questioned
by Attorney Haight. showed some
sensitiveness. he considering that HIS
nationwide propaganda on prepared
ness had not brought home TO him
its full lesson. as he with infinite
caution of language impressed upon
the court that he did not roll up his
sleeves upon that occasion asserting
this action to be unnecessary as they
we're held In position for immediate
action prior to his entrance into the
arena. bloodless as II proved to be.
The admission en- the part of wit
nesses OF the introduction of the
methods OF trench warfare into our
peaceful valley caused court and
counsel to look aghast and that the
spread OF such dangerous means for
attaining ones ends should be check
ed In its budding tie court rendered
a decision as above.
In anticipation of the forthcoming
election gymnasium practice is in
full swing and il has been suggested
that a number of gas helmets be
requisitioned.

The announcement of a Longfel-

PROCLAIMS FETE DAY
Allen Sets Aside Nov. II for Celebra-
ton OF ArInisticc-

Governor Allen issued a proclama-
ton setting aside November IL as
Armistice Day and declaring holi-
day in Kansas. The governor said:
Almost year has elapsed since the
close of hostllities in the greatest conflict
the world has ever known. The supreme
relief felt was manifested in the joy in
every community in this state and country,
on November IL 191S
Since that time there has returned from
record forms the brightest chapter in the
history of this state.
ALI over Kansas the celebration of
Armistice Day this year will include the
soldiers who made it possible for the con
fliet to have successful termination; 1t
seems proper that this day should be
specially observed because of their, ability
to participate in the ceremonies, mark
ing the first anniversary of the signing of
the armistice, which in fact closed the
world war
Now, therefore, I, Henry =. Allen, gov
ernor for the State of Kansas. do hereby
designate Thursday, November II. 1919 as
Armistice Day, to be fittingly observed by
appropriate ceremonies and celebrations In
every community in Kansas, the first
anniversary of the signing of the armistice.

CONSUMER MUST PAY FOR IT
Adds So to So to Every EIectri-
cal Job in Topeka.
City Fell Into Trap With Lii
cense Fee, He Declares.

Trust Charges were made today by
II. B. Howard, Topeka electrical con-
tractor, against four other local cleo
trical contractors 1t is the outgrowth
of the ordinance recently passed by
the city commission requiring a license
fee of 500 to be paid by each cleo
trical contracting firm in the city.
Howard in an interview declared
that the four firms behind the ordi-
nance and the four firms which were
the prime movers in causing the IL
cense fee ordinance to be passed are
the Topeka Electric company, the Ma
chinists' Electric company, the Jordan
Electric company, and the Overtoh
Electric company. He asserted that
these four firms have entered into an
agreement among themselves to Fix
prices and that the movement leading
to- the passage of the ordinance was
engineered by them as a step in freez-
ing out the competition of the little
fellows"
In discussing the case today Howard
asserted that the license fee is an
iniquitous institution and asserted
that he refused to be party to any
scheme which will add 50 or SO PEN
atty to every electrical construction
fob, which penalty would of course be
added to the cost to the consumer.
Howard paid his fee for license under
protest and today issued formal
statement giving his views in the
matter.
HOwards Statement.
Howard's formal statement follows
see no good in this whatever other than
an alleged method sometimes indulged IN
10 eliminate competition" and has all the
ear marks of a trust. This method Is rec
commended by several national aSsocla-
tiOns" as 4 sure way to cut out the Littie E
Fellows and thereby allow the association
members full swing ON rates, etc. IheSe
doctrines are not legal, honest nor Amerl-
can and are already being investigated Dy
the higher courts. as far as the attorney
general ruling goes THAT the city has the
account of work which might endanger
life and property" The same holds gSod
in all classes of construction work from
the foundation to the roof of any building
exravators, sewer men, plumbers, concrete
workmen, carpenters. lathers, tlhners'
DIastprers and even decorators. If an oc-
cupation tax is legal, let's touch up all
trades and professions and eliminate any
other taxes It's nothing but way OF
attempting control of construction Work 10
the detriment of the customer. Our trade
Is REGULATED by national code rules, now

so why should penalty of 81 to $3 be
added: rhe poor washer woman VINO
now unys S7.50 minimum for an installation

is Il demand on the part of serious, respon-
sfble ucople as well government offi-
cia's to reduce the cost or CONSTRUCTION

of Topeka to be a party TO any such deal
