GOVERNOR TALKS
Advocates Measures Of Import
anCe to Clark County

Last Sunday evening, Governor Oddie
delivered lecture on "The Governors
View" in the Baptist church of Reno,
being the first of series on civic prog
gress to be delivered by the brainy men
of the country during the next few
months.
Contrary to the usual custom of
speakers on similar subjects, the Cover
nor did not indulge in rehash of plati-
tudes and generalities, but plunged into
the heart of things in manner intense
ly interesting to Clark county.
"It is my firm conviction that the
greatest work this.state can undertake,
lies along the lines of its agricultural
development" said the Governor. He
then made convincing plea for legisla-
ton along the lines of the bill provid-
ing for "Nevada Bureau of Industry,
Agriculture and Irrigation" which as
the major part of its duties will have
charge of the work required under the
Carey act.
The passage OF the governors meas
ure will be of the utmost benefit to
Clark county and the Las Vegas valley
in particular. No section of the state
has such vast possibilities of develop
ment agriculturally as Clark county,
and Governor Oddie's efforts to secure
legislation favorable to our interests
should receive the enthusiastic support
of the Clark county delegation and the
people
