This letter Is addressed to the tax

RADIO. Every word is Of vital interest
to you.
Colorado Is the greatest state in the
extent and diversity OF natural re-
sources in the entire national Union.
We have n better climate, more oppor-
tunIties for investment. more scenic
attractions and more room to grow IN
than any state west of the mississippi
river.
I'VE have the money in Colorado.
Shall we spend little of II TO get
more? II is business proposition.
Every family that is induced to settle
In Colorado spends money In this state.
To bring flfty families into this state.
then, means an expenditure OF s5O.Ooo
annually. If We can increase the popu-
lation to 1000. 900. this would mean to
i'd about 100000 families to our pres.
ent population. which means In round
figures that $400.OO0,000 in excess OF
the present amount will be expended
for the necessities of life in Colorado.
This is n large sum. Is 1t not? But 1t
is possible. II would cost 100000 an

reau. to see that every reliable news
paper and magazine in America pub
fishes articles from time to time de.
scriptive OF our resources. and the sal
aries. postage. printers bills and in.
cidental expenses will take another
10000.
"Will you contribute anything to
this fund? The people of California
raised n quarter of n million dollars
last December with which to advertise
California through the California De.
velopment society,""
