FIRST BENEFITS FROM THE NEVADA
COMMERCIAL LEAGUE

Win our various cOmmlCCecS dL WoIh.
Most important mong these committees
are those on railroads nd legislation.
On these lines our work is progressing
splendidly, but at the same time
know that nobody appreciates more
than myself, the Importance Of every
man in the State being enlisted in the
interest Of thsi great work, which can
not be overestimated as benefit to the
State at large. Our aim this far has
been to solicit each section with a per-
sonal representative, but unfortunately
we have been unable to call on all Of
them, and as the Legislature will soon
convene, there is too little time left To
spend any of it away from our Office,
so that we want to reach the people
through you.
In soliciting this membership, we do
not want our subscribers to overlook
the fact that this campaign is costing
considerable money, and that when the
battle is fought and won, they will
want to say, eve did it, and not
"They did it,
We have already had overtures made
to us which we did not even anticipate,
and while this is sufficient encourage
ment, it is simply notice 10 us that
the harder we work, and the stronger
we make this organization, the more
we are going to accomplish.
The Hartman interests with practi-
cally $20,000,000 invested in Salt Lake
City, naturally have their ieutenants
at work in that city, striving to invade
Nevada as far as possible with their
goods, and, some of the jobbers Of that
city have already penetrated the State
to its Western Boundary. San Fran
cisco and Sacramento are, and have
been, for many years enjoying trade
to the Eastern Boundary Los Angeles
and Salt Like are striving for suprem-
facy IN tAo~south The, question that
confronts us all now is, Are we going
to longer sit idly by and allow our
selves to be torn to pieces by these
wouidbe benefactors, whose only inter-
est in us is the profit they are deriving
through the sale Of their wares, or are
we going to demand justice, and trans
act this business within our own boun-
dariesf With proper rate conditions
these distributing eenters would be in
Nevada where they belong right now,
and the men who are deriving profits
from these distributions would be pay
ing taxes to the State of Nevad in
stead of our neighboring States, and
the merchants and consumers of the
State of Nevada, would be enjoying
the privilege Of the better prices they
are entitled to.
Somebody once said, "Do not express
an opinion unless you perfectly under
stand what you are talking about We
understand what we are talking about
in this, and when I say that, / hope
that includes you and all your subscrib-
ers. We all know that the entire coun-
try is covered at the present time with
the dew of prosperity, and it is simply
up to us to get wet enough right now
TO keep us moist through any depres-
sion that might at any time befall the
country. With rate conditions in this
State as they should be, tho hardest
times that can come over the entire
United States, outside Of Nevada, can
not effect Nevad, but under existing
conditions Nevada VII certainly have
to bear her lot under our periodical
hard times.
Very truly yours,
! NEVADA COMMERCIAL LEAGUE.
