After having had under consideration the

| held al Chicago, as an opportunity which may
| not occur again within a century of time for
I bringing to the attention of the world the re-
sources of California its desirability as place
| its material and social interests.

an oPportune time to begin those processes of
education which will eventuate in proper ex-
| hibition OF the industrial resources and scenic
| grandeur OF this State.

adequate representation OF California before
| the world in the way of an exhibition, which
shall fully illustrate its industrial commercial
| educational and social status and progress and
| the vast and varied capabilities OF its climate
\ its soil and its mines.

| that the expenses OF an adequate exhibition
| should be borne by the Treasury of the State
and that an appropriation fer this object should
| be made OF not less than S250000.

| Boards represented in this Executive Commit
tee TO the great importance of the subject un-
der consideration, and urge them as individual

ting the public mind to that degree Of appre-
citation OF the opportunity offered by the ap-
preaching Worlds Fair, which win result in
representation of California, appealing to the
ptlde OF ner citizens and comforting upon her
| lasting benefits.
sixth-we believe the exhibition should be
so planned as to secure to California producers
better position in the markets of the world
for the products OF our fields and orchards.
and such better attention to the vast updevei-
oped mineral resources of this State as will
secure a reinforcement of capital in its min
ing enterprises.
seveuth-Ihe object of the exhibition should.
therefore, be to educate the world as to the de-
sirablity ot Californis as place OF residence,
and 10 secure reinforcement of population
and capital in all the branches OF her com
mercial and industrial activities, and mainly to
secure the attention Of consumers TO California
products with q view OF extending her mar
kets for these products.

the coming session of the Legislature should
make the necessary appropriation, and that q
postponement of such appropriation to the
