the suggestion of George Wingfield,
was largely attended by representa-
tive people, and the speeches put
forward were all suggestive of things
for community and state betterment.
Mayor George Sherman acted as
chairman of the meeting and num-
erous ones responded with appropri-
ate remarks. Mr.. Wingfeld spoke
first, his remarks being published IN
full herewith:
Mr. Chairman, ladie. and gentle
men: 1t affords me great pleasure
to be called upon to make a few re-
marks to the people of Fallon.
What is the matter with business?
1t seems to me that we have gone
too far in trusting to the advice of
the Incompetent and I think the
thoughtful persons will agree with
me in this.
note that Vice-Prosident Marshall
to whom some radical utterances
have been accredited, Is now agree
ing with other prominent democrats
that the country should be given a
rest and business chance to recup-
crate now that the banking and
tariff bills have been enacted 1t Is
better not to talk too much of hard
times. We need words of encoui-
agement and not discouragemen
but we cannot close our eyes to the
slump in business in every direction.
Our economical questions should not
be looked upon from the general
standpoint but wholly from the point
of the public good. This is too big
state for US to feel helpless as to
its future. Ii has too many natural
resources still undeveloped. It has
people honest and patriotic who
mean to do right by each other
They mean to give fair play to capt.
ital and fair wages to the working
man. They may be misled for a
while by selfish demagogues but
they are fast learning that dema-
gogue never filled pay envelope
and never will.
Meanwhile, | ask every listener
who believes in maintaining fair
play for capital and labor in the
state OF Nevada as whole. to take
an interest in seeing hat competent
and representative men are elected
to our legislature, irrespective of
politics. We have too many laws
now and although it is true that
some of the bad ones are not en-
forced, still II not enforced why
should we have them? We want
Legislature that will pass laws which
will tend to build up our state and
not to tear 1t down. Churchill coun-
ty has been more fortunate In having
we'll balanced members of the legis-
than has almost any other county in
the state. We have had too much
of the trimmer and professional pol
itician who goes into politics for rev.
enue only. Therefore, | suggest that
we all put our shoulders to the
wheel and boost for a greater Ne
vada.
thank you.
Mr. Wingfield was followed by
Project Manager ID. w. Cole. who
laid special stress on the necessity
of organizing cooperative marketing
associations, which could reach out
and develop new markets and. by es-
tablishing guaranteed grades of pro-
duce, insure constant demand for
our unequalled crops. Mr.. Cole
said he was much impressed with
the importance of the dairy and cat
tie industries to local development
and prosperity. A steer fattened
Lahontan alfalfa will make its own
way in the world, he said, and pre-
sents one of the most profitable
means of marketing ou- principal
crop.
Hon. Wallace Fcrgrson spoke of
the Importance of civic organizations
and made a plea for support of the
Churchill county chamber of COM
merce. He expressed the belief
that successful marketing could be
developed satisfactorily through
such an organization.
l.. w. Crehore, City Engineer,
spoke Of the success of Fallon's mu-
nicipally owned lighting system,
making comparisons with other sys-
TENS which were altogether favor
able with the local plant.
c. j. Kelsey, manager of the
Churchill creamery was called on for
talk on dairying. He declined to
hooct his nwn h,,ctuac. hut uatd ha
