West Needs Capital.

In his opening address at the an
nual meeting Of the Association OF
Western Governors, which convened
here today, Governor Edwin L. Norris
Of Montana, president Of the associa-
tion, said in part;
Those who do not understand or
appreciate our necessities and our
possibilities are in the majority in
the councils Of the nation. We can
not hope to change that majority, but
We may, by united and concerted eff
fort, in some measure make up for
the lack of numbers and check OF
prevent legislation inimical to west
ern interests.
1t has been conservatively estimat
ed that more than two.thirds of the
western resources are as yet undevel
oped. There are numberless people
seeking homes and there is unlimited
capital for investment. The reason
why homesteaders in large numbers
have not sought the west and unlimit
ed capital referred to has not been in
vested in western enterprises is thai
western opportunities are not fully
realized in the populous and money
centers."
