We are entering upon a new day in
the life of our State-a day that has
| already some achievements to its credit.
with the promise of much more in the
| early future.
1t was once charged that Nevada's
mineral wealth was exhausted and that
| prise turn in this direction on that ac-
conut. In travelling east last menth /
| listened to the eoquence of gentleman
whom l did not know. but who talked
of Nevada. asserting that it is another
South Africa" and that it would sur
prise the world with its output of pre-
cicus metals. OF course, Nevadans have
never doubted that this is so. but 1t is
good to hear it from the lips of New
Yorker. The new tune is much sweeter
| than the old one with which they used
/ to tell of the hopeless plight of our great
| state.
| But while we must all rejoice in the
| revival of our mining industry. we may
| find equal cause for congratulation in the
growth of our commercial towns and in
the expansion of our agriculture under
the national irrigation law. The number
of homes upon the soil, the extent Of our
cultivated lands, and the amount of our
| times over when the works now under
/ way and projected are completed But
| these works do not mark the limit of our
| possibilities There are other great OPP
and Carson. We shall some day see a
wonderful development on the Walker
river and in the long valley of the Hum
Doldt, and the view which the traveller

viii be transformed.
Our real cause for rejoicing is not In
any single one of these facts, but in ali
OF them together. Genuine and lasting
prosperity, that kind of prosperity which
Is distributed among all elements of pop
uiation. comes from the symmetrical de-
velopment of the whole variety of natu-
raj resources. That is what we are be-
ginning TO see in Nevada and what we
snail see in constantly increasing meas
are as time goes on.
But mines and farms and thriving
towns aye not the only assets which Ne
vada has with which to appeal to the in
t,rest of the outside world. We are liv-
ins in time of wide unrest and, as it
seems to me. are soon to see what Lin
coin called "a new birth of institutions"
In my judgment Nevada is peculiarly
suited to become the field for the most
advanced legislation aiming to increase
the power of the people in the control
of their affairs, The significant feature
o. the last Presidential election was the
! marked independence of the voters
throughout the land. The great feature
OF the elections held last month was the
manner in which this new independence
was used to overthrow bosses and ma
chimes. The coming conflict will be be-
| tween popular rights and the power
which has gone so largely into the hands
of incorporated wealth. employed not
alone in transportation but in dealing
with all the necessares OF life.
| would like to see Nevada take it's
place in the very front of the firing line
and lead the way toward a higher ex-
preston of democracy. l think the State
is fortunately situated for such an un-
dertaking because its population is small
