The congress will hold its twenty
second annual session in Convention
hall, Kansas City. Mo-, November IA,
10. 16 and II, 1911.
While this congress is sectional in
name, the scope of Its accomplish
ments has been both sectional and
national. Many acts OF federal legisla-
ton of great benefit to the whole
country had their initiation in ses-
sions of this congress. Through its
influence, seven million dollars were
appropriated by congress for the
deep water harbor at Galveston, and
more than ninety million dollars for
irrigation In the arid states, and vari-
GUS other projects developed. 1t con-
stitutes "a free forum for the west"
where governmental policies, projects
of commercial and industrial develop
ment, the natural resources of the
west, and the best methods for their
utilization may be freely discussed
and recommendations submitted for
the consideration of the federal con-
gress and legislatures of these states.
1t is the oldest and most influential
organization of business men in the
United States and represents the en-
tire country lying west of the Missis-
sippi river. This twenty-second SEES
sion of the congress Will be the great
est ever held in its Importance to the
people of the west. It's deliberations
will vitality affect the interests of all
business enterprises. The great west
is full of great problems, and the
delegates to the congress will repre-
sent the "crystalized commercial
sentiment" of their respective COM
munities, from the viewpoint of
commercial and industrial supremacy.
All the subjects discussed Will be of
the highest importance, not only to
the Trans-Mississtppi states, but to
the entire country and succeeding
generations.
Among these will be:
Transportation Facilities of the

tation, whether by rivers or rails. is

THORN.

Charleston, w Va, March 27.--
Former Senator A. X. Thorn, OF
Clarksburg, who arrived III the city

thought about cnnvenlng the legislat-
ure in special session to pass upon .
statewide primary bill, said that he
was not in favor Of tho idea because
he could not see where there could be
any great advantage over nominating
candidates by a primary than by
convention and that he believed the
"bosses," as they were called, would
have just as good an opportunity to
carry out their plans in primary as
they would in convention, and ss 1t
seemed to be the "bosses,p those favor.
Ing a statewide primary were after, he
could not see where mi oh could lie ac-
complished.
~ think the greatest and most inn
portant question before the people Of
West Virginia is the enactment Of u
public service commission" said Sen.
stor Thorn. 1--WE need public SER
vice commission more than anything
else, but doubt If the present Iegis-
lature would pass such measure"
He referred to what the people OF
New York state are experiencing since
the enactment Of the public service
commission law. He pointed out that
instead Of the big operations now
beng opposed to it as thy we're In the
first place, they now see the advantage
and rather than add additional bur
dens It has saved them not only much
expense but much annoyance and in
convenience as many Of the differ
ences that heretofore have had to be
fought out in The courts are now set
tied by the commission and both sides
are better satisfied.
