Dear Sir: 1t occurs to us from
observation of recent issues of your
your paper that you want ITO hear from
us, and talk to our subscribers through
the columns of your paper on the
work of the Nevada Commercial
League. We now have a splendid Or
ganization formed, with our various
COMMITTEES at work. Most important
among these committees are those on
Railroads and Legislation. On these
lines our work is progressing splendid
ly. but at the same time l know that
nobody appreciates more than your
self. the importance of every man in
the State being enlisted in the inter
est of this great work, which we can
not overestimate as benefit to the
State at large. Our aim this far has
been to solicit each section with per-
personal representative, but unfortun-
ately we have been unable to call on
all of them, 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 tho
people through you.
In soliciting this membership we dc
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 viii
want to say: I'VE did it, and no
"They did it,
We have already had overtures made
made to us which we did not even an
ticipate, and while this is sufficien
encoura gement. it is simply a notice
to US that the hearder we work, ant
the stronger we make this organiza
ton. the more we are going to &C
complish.
I The Hartman interests, with prae
tically $2O,O0O,0O0 invested in Sal
Lake City, naturally have their lier
/ tenants at work in that city, strivin
X to invade Nevada as far as possibl
with their goods, and some Of the jot
, bers Of that city have already pelt
trated the State to its wester
boundary. San Francisco and Sacr;
{ mento are, and have been, for man
years enjoying trade to the easter
S boundary Los Angeles and Salt LAX
l. south. The question that confront
1t us all now is. Are we going
longer sit idly by and allow ourselvt
a. to be torn to pieces by these would
IS benefacrors. whose only interest in
Of is the profit they are deriving throue
$, the sale of their wares, or are v
ly going to demand justice, and transa
st this business within our own boun
es aries?" With proper rate condition
these distributing centers would be
he Nevada where they belong right no
and the men who are deriving prof
from these distributions would be pa
ing taxes TO the State Of Nevada
in stead of neighboring states, and I
tn merchants and consumers of the Sta
ss of Nevada would be enjoying the pri
lege of the better ~rices they are
titled to.
Somebody once said 'Do not EXPIRE
sh- an opinion unless you perfectly und
ow stand what we are talking abo
lie We understand what we are TALK
of about in this, and when l say that
,de hope that includes you and all yc
lld subscribers. We all know that the
he tire country is covered at the pres
md time with the dew of prosperity, ant
ing is simply up to us to get wet enOr
oc- right now to keep us moist thror
on any depression that might at {
be time befall the country. : With r
in conditions in this State as they sho
am- be, the hardest times that can CO
ion over the entire United States, outs
ney of Nevada cannot effect Nevada,
md under existing conditions Nevada
, cf certainly have to bear her lot un
the our periodical hard times.
Let us hear your views please
Very truly yours,
