Western Reciprocity Movement
is Gathering Force.
Applications For Membership
Are Still Coming In.
PASSES THE $50 MARK.
Spanish Importer Asks That
Spain Be Included.
John A. KassOn Tells Why Plan
is a Good One.

The small attendance at the meeting
which organized the Western Reciproci-
ty League a few weeks ago seems to
have been no Indication of the interest
in the movement. Since the completion
of the organization applications for
membership have been coming in upon
A B. Hulit, the secretary, not from
Kansas only, but from all over the
country, even as far east as Connect
cut.
When Governor Stanley first suggest
ed the organization he expected that
the best that could be done would be to
make it statewide in its scope. Then it
was decided to invite representatives
from other states and finally that it be
made a western organization Now it
seems probable that it will become ma
tional in its scope.
The membership list has passed the $50
point and it includes firms of great
wealth and influence. Some of them
have millions of capital invested. There
are dozen or more manufacturers of
implements, for instance, among them
the Deering and Mccormick harvester
companies of Chicago: the Johnston
Harvester company, Of Batavia, n. Y;
the Moline Plow company, of Moline, Ill;
the Syracuse Chilled Pillow company,
Syracuse, N. Y; Columbus Buggy COM
pany, and many others. These are only
examples of the class of people who are
going into the movement They are
people who mean business and will ac-
cOmpliSh results.
Secretary Hulit is in receipt of a let
ter from a Spanish importer, located at
Barcelona, Spain, which shows the in
terest which the movement is arousing
in other countries. 1t is as follows:
