REGARO|NG ESTABLISHMENT OF
NORMAL SCHOOL IN EUREKA

After being informed by the Coun-
ty Commissioners that for various
reasons the grand jury room in the
Court House building would not be
suitable for Normal class room, the
County Board of Education took the
matter up with the State Board OF
Education to learn what further pro
cedure could be taken looking to-
ward securing other suitable quar-
ters.
The following letter from the State
Board in reply was received here
Thursday and sets forth the law in
this matter, which shows that tho
$500 appropriated by our Commits
sioners for fitting up and maintaining
a Normal class room is the only avail
able fund for this purpose:
".Your letter of August 9th has
been received. Under the provisions
of the County Normal Training Law,
it is necessary that a suitable place
be provided and suitable equipment
be furnished from the five hundred
dollars maximum apportionment from
the County Commissioners for this
purpose. II suitable place cannot
be secured, the State Board will not
of course, organize County Normal
II trust that some way may be
found to satisfactorily meet the stu
alton.
Sincerely yours,
wv. J. HUNTING.

CARLIN DEFEATS
ELKO TEAM 81

Elko, Aug. s0.-A single in the
ninth inning with two men out, two
men on bases and two strikes on the
batter won the game for Carlin Sun
day after the Elko team had led
through eight and half innings by
one run and the game scheduled at
Carlin on Labor Day bids fair to be
one OF the hottest contests of the
season. At the close of the game
Sunday the score stood three to one
in favor of Carlin. giving that team
three of the four games played to
date.
Rivalry between the two teams is
so keen that 1t is probable that Sher-
If Harris and several deputies will
accompany the nine next Monday
when they visit Carlin.

IN FULL CONTROL OF
ANTHRAX SITUATION

George Russell. Jr., president of
the Nevada Livestock Association,
was here Thursday and said that the
anthrax epidemic near Battle Noun
tain and Beowawe is under control
and that there are but few deaths
from stock reported from the disease,
The district is closely patrolled by
men in the employ of the State stock
association, and every head of stock
in the infected district has been vac
cinated. He said that in his opinion
there would be no further spread OF
the disease, and that in short time
the quarantine regulations would be
suspended.-Elko Free Press.

TRAP DOOR FAILED

While raiding the Young hotel In
Sparks Friday evening last. Federal
officers managed to save one bottle OF
evidence which caused the arrest OF
the proprietor. A. Bengetti, and his
bartender.
When the officers started the raid a
trap door was sprung and the several
bottles started down the cellar on the
road to destruction. One of the offi-
GERS, however. managed to beat the
last bottle to the junk heap and this
contained a quart of moonshine. The
trap door failed to open wide enough
to take the wet load downstairs.

HIGH COAL RATES
BRING OUT PROTEST

Carson News: With the people Of
the State paying more for coal than
they did during war times, a COM
plant is being taken up by the Pub
lie Service Commission and ]. #.
Shaughnessy, chairman, has issued
an open statement regarding the un-
fairness of the charges.
Coal delivered in Carson is not net
ting the dealers 81 d ton profit, the
railroads getting more than two
thirds of the cost to the people. the
mine rate having only advanced a
small per cent.
Locally. the freight and war tax on
ton of coal amounts to 1927 per
ton, the coal costing SIS per ton at
the mine. The local dealers have to
stand the short weights, unload, de-
liver, collect and stand all of the
losses.
The protest by the commission is
timely and it is hoped that some re-
duction may be effected.
Commissioner Shaughnessy states
that the price of coal should be re-
duced 50 per ton and cites reasons.
The Nevada commissioner states that
with steadily declining prices in other
commodities that of coal has been
raised. He differs with the findings
of the Federal examiner and asks
that the rates be generally reduced
from mine to all points in Nevada.
In this line he states: Neither
has the discrimination been removed
for comparable distances from the
Utah and Wyoming fields to Nevada
points as compared with those in
southern and western Idaho where
the rates are somewhat lower than
those recommended by the examiner

SLIM CHANCE FOR REDUCTION
In PHONE RATES.

The recent decision of Judge Henry
N NJ Smith in the case of Miller
against the Telephone Company
shows conclusively that the fight
against the increase in telephone
rates must be made before the rail-
pcad commission and not in the
courts.
Time and again the United States
supreme Court has held that the fix
ing OF rates by public service cor
poration is governmental function,
and the power of a municipality to
esoptEact in connection Herewith will
not be presumed, but must be given
III express language. 1t has also re-
peatedly held that where the rights of
an individual or set of individuals
come into conflict with the public
welfare, those rights, even though
fixed by contract, must give way

OF the Union Dry Goods Company of
Macon against the Georgia Public
Service Corporation.
This was a case in which the Geor-
gia Public Service Corporation and
the Union Dry Goods Company We're
both corporations organized under
the laws of the state of Georgia and
doing business in Macon. They con-
tracted together in writing for a term
or five years, the former to supply
eiectdic light and power to the lat
ter. which agreed to pay stipulated
rates for the service.
The contract was performed for
almost two years when the Dry
Goods Company refused to nav n
bill for services rendered, in which
a higher rate than that of the con-
tract was charged. The service cor
poration claimed that this rate was
authorized and required by an order
OF the Railroad Commission of Geor-
gia after investigation and hearing.
Soon thereafter the dry goods
company commenced suit TO
compel specific performance of its
contract, which had three years to

and from executing a threat to cut

cause of failure to pay the increased
rate.
The trial court and the supreme
court of Georgia both held against
plaintiff and the case was taken to
the Federal Court. One of the two
claims considered by the court was
that the order of the commission vio-
lated the obligation of the contract.
The court held that the law giving
the commission the right to regulate
was in force when the contract was
entered into and the presumption was
in favor of the validity of the order,

the latter is appropriately declared
and defined. and the two conflict. has
been often decided by this court. One
whose rights. such as they are. and

state by making contract about
them. Contracts must be understood
as made in reference to the possible
exercise OF the riehtful authority of
the government, and no obligation of
contract can extend to the defeat
of legitimate government authority"
The language of the preceding
paragraph makes il Very clear that
any further effort to reestablish rates
b! appealing TO the court would be a
useless waste of time and money. The
fight must be carried before the rail
road commission in whom is vested
absolute authority to regulate rates in

and a municipality. an

If it can be shown that the rates
are excessive or that the telephone
company is eXtravagant in the man

ing either in salaries or dividends
more than fair return on its mon
ey. the railroad commission will re-
store the former rates. If this cannot
be shown the rates will stand and
there is no appeal except to the In
iterstate Railroad Commission - and
this would be u hopeless undertaking.
