the forgetfulness of self; Jealousy is

To the Commercial Clubs, Merchants

For many years the growth and
prosperity of the state of Nevada. and
that portion of California east of the
Sierra range, have been retarded and
held back. and the cost of living
made unnecessarily high by the un-
just, excessive and diseriminative
rates of freight charged TO all parts
of the state. not only on the neces-
stiles of life but everything that
tends to the making and unbuildine
of the state.
All efforts TO have the freight rates
TO the state reduced so as TO permit
its people 10 prosper and the diffrenl
communities within the state 10 grow
have so far been ignored. and To use
the expression published in one of the
leading California daily papers, said
to have emanated from the San Fran
cisco Merchants Exchange. While
We admit that Nevada is charged eX
orbitant and unjust rates of freight
yet We have the state by the throat
with a strangle hold. and do not
propose TO release that hold.

rate men, have been working hard
for some time past tabnlating these
different rates and making compare
sons, so as TO present a strong case

ask is: To be placed on the same
basis as other states, such as Utah.
Idaho, Montana and Washington, all
of which have intermediate terminal
points within the state, and in con-
sequence of which they have grown
and prospered and their resources
have been developed.
We have allied against us power

itself. but the various California
boards of trade and wholesale inter
ests who do not wish to see Nevada
free herself and become an indepen-
dent state, and have declared that
they will spend any amount necessary

falls upon the citizens Of Nevada to
donate the necessary means to carry
on this fight AS this is a fight in the
interests of no particular business or
community, but in the interest of the
entire state, we respectfully urge that
each business club. merchant and
business man in every community
raise such subscriptions as they can
and forward to the Reno Commercial
Club Reno. Nevada. at the earliest
possible time. Any subscriptions re-
ceiyed will be acknowledged AS the
time is short in which 10 raise the

that you give this matter earnest and
prompt attention.

/ concerns every shipper and every con-
sumner of goods within the confines
of this state. Ii Is a matter of con-
Germ as much to the laboring men,
who pays an exorbitant price for
