ed on the resources of the county and
believed that if Carson was properly
5-Sertised and all the citizens put

would soon have population of ten

was earnest in his desire to see bet
ter conditions and all that was need
ed was general disposition to pull
together. He believed in the sure flu

country was booming and the trade
could be diverted our way with 1t
tie effort and Carson made a distri-
buting point.
Sam Davis held that the lowering
of the tax rate would bring the de-
sired population. The present high
tax rate was driving away capital
and if men from abroad could make
money here as had the Philadelphia
investors in the Tonopah mines, they
would take their money home because
of the high rate.
He claimed that bills to right this
condition of affairs were always
smothered in the Legislature irrespec-
tive of party.
There should also be stringent leg

men who were floating sand banks

enough brains and energy and oppor
tunities to make a first class city gu
of one of the most beautiful resi-
dence places on the Pacific Coast.
Mr.. James Woodbury. thought tn

that advertising these mining promo
