REBATES AND rHs GOVERNMENT

Tile claim that the national govern

road rebates. against which there Is
such general agitation, discoses a
much involved situation in regard 10
which there come contradictory re-

granted in connection with the trans.
portation of large quantities of sup.

referred to Attorney General Moody
The matter came about in this way:
As a result OF various transactions 1t
was found that the secretary of the

AS OTHERS see US.

The estimate placed upon Las We.

large element composed Of tourists
gives rs an opportunity TO see our
selves as others see us These OPT
Mons are mosi valuable when they
are delivered under such clrcumstan.
ces that they reach our ears without
the knowledge or intent Of the speak
cr
which took place at the Castancda
very recently One tourist declared
with emphasis that LAS Vegas is
the most desirable place In either or
the territories for residence, It's elm
ate. taken the year around, is far SUI
perlor 10 that Of any other city or
town In Arizona OF New Mexico. IT'S
people are Of better class and the
moral atmosphere Of the community
ls better"
This estimate was delivered by one
who has been over the two territories
thoroughly and knew whereof he
spoke. In the general discussion
about Las Vegas which followed this
utterance another man delivered him
self as follows, LAS Vegas is bound
10 60 ahead because every man In this
town believes In his town"
How refreshing IL Is TO hear such
talk from the stranger within our
gates: and what could be better re.
commendation for this or any other
place than that every man believes
In his town.
or the two expressions related, the
latter Is the more gratifying For II
Is fact beyond dispute that Las We
gas Is the most desirable place OF
residence In The southwest. But It
has unfortunately never been consid.
cred true beyond dispute that every
man In Las Vegas believes in his
town" There have always been
those who were ready to question the
future Of the town and to throw dif.
flcultles In the way Of those who con.
stantly boost" for the town. This
element was, however. never less in
evidence that al the present time. the
general air Of prosperity and conf
ence which prevails In business circles
today has pnl most of the knockers to

II Ia not sufficiently appreciated by

today. A large number Of witnesses
were exlmined and various requests
heard, including that Of ship builders

workers for n bonus manufacturers for
rebates Of crude material used in the
various branches, etc. Today Mr..
Socket, manager OF the Western Fuel

fered with the coal trade. He said the
California coal trade had fallen of fifty
per cent because OF the increasing u-e
Of oil.
Joseph Shaw, representing Vancouver
