TELLS GLORIES
OF CALIFORNIA
TO THE WORLD

One reason for this is that the Eastern
publishers realize that the California Pro
motion Committee IS an unprejudiced institu-
ton working for the whole State of California.
The committee is sending special industrial
articles regularly to newspapers in some oi
the middle Western States. and the results ir
Iowa alone have been very marked.
The committee has made every endeavor
and II has been successful in this endeavori
in bringing about feeling OF corporation and
goodwill throughout the State. II has estab-
lshed many development organizations in the
interior and inspired those in existence tc
fresh endeavor.
1t has discouraged exaggerated literature and
the PRONUNCIATION Of i'll ll-founded booming
propositions.
The State meetings that it has held in Sac
ramento and in Pasadena have brought the
people Of the different sections of the State
into closer communion.
There is doubt that the effort of San
Francisco men TO build up the interior of Cal
fornis has had much to do with our present
prosperity and with the general feeling OF
goodWin that now exists throughout the State
toward the city
With the foundation established as it is and
the good results that have been shown from
interested in the prosperity of the State that
the work should be carried more Wig
orously and agsressively than heretofore.
KNOWN OVER WORLD.
Besides the extensive work shown
In the foregoing excerpts, the state
ment contains a record of a great many
other achievements in the publicity
and promotion work that are sure to
be of great benefit to the State. Mr.
Jennings was cheered when he fin
ished the reading.
Mr.. Sbarboro spoke again and said:
We don't claim that all this great in
crease in the population, wealth and
prosperity of the State is due to our
efforts, but we do claim the credit for
much of it. Millions of grains of seed
have been planted that are bringing
fruitful results throughout the world.
The committee is beginning to be
known all over the globe"
George w. McNear made the finan-
ctal statement as treasurer of the COM
mittee. 1t showed receipts during the
three years of s86.01e31 and expendi-
lures of SS4,33037.
More could be accomplished if we
had more to accomplish 1t with" said
Treasurer McNear I'VE are living in
the best part of the world here. We
have the soil and the climate, and with
the cheap fuel we possess, can become
a manufacturing State. To get the
great population we should have, there
is lots for you to do. We must have
our industries arranged so as to give
employment to those who come and
our large tracts of land must be cut
Up. We mustn't let those who come
go heck and say there is no work to
do and no small farms to be had II
they cannot get employment because
the various unions Will not admit them
as members, that must be regulated"
In conclusion Mr.. McNear said the
executive head Of the committee was
getting about one-fourth the salary
he was worth.
General VIII S. Green Of Colusa was
introduced by President Sbarboro as
the man who had taken the first step
that had led to the formation of the
Promotion Committee He told how the
the committee had its inception in GEN
eral Green's appearing before the
Chamber Of Commerce and demand
ing that San Francisco do something
to aid the interior counties in their
efforts at development.
II wondered why the grand Sacra-
mento Valley did not progress" said
General Green, "and issued an invita-
ton to some gentlemen to meet me at
Woodland and see what could be done
the way of development. Most of
N said, We are up against it,' We
sanized, though, and worked without
money. There wasn't Board of Trade
in the valley then outside of Sacra-
mento. Now every town of any impor-
tance has one. We said San Francisco
should help us. and we came down
there and talked to the Chamber of
Commerce and this organization was
formed
