 ~"@~~~~o-0-~---~-~~~-o-~~ board proposition to obtain the funds necessary to develop his property
 Several of the mining men made it plain that they did not wish to be placed in the position of trying to prevent new companies starting oper- ations. The development of one prop erty helps every property in the dis trict. Ii is the company that does not intend to develop, or fritters the money of its stockholders away, that the solid citizens of Jerome are trying to guard against
 The position of the Jerome News was made plain by its business man. ager, who stated that if a board or committee be formed to pass upon new propositions this paper would re- fuse the advertising of any company that had not the sanction of that body. It was suggested that other papers, not only in the State but throughout the country would take the same action when the matter was brought 10 their attention, and thus llldhC II illllOSSlDiC lOl lllC lIlGSl}OllSi- ble or dishonest promoter to obtain space for the presentation of his al turing bait
