Secretary F. N. Fletcher of the Nevada Taxpayers Association will be the chief speaker of the session. The advisability of the state adopting a sales tax will be one of the main topics of discussion.

Our tax rate is high and the sales tax offers us an out, as reports from all the adjoining states show that It is an effective method of getting funds, and provides a means of taxation which falls equally on everyone. Those who buy luxuries pay the tax In proportion to their spending ability. "I believe it is none too early to take up this question and discuss It among ourselves. It can only be put into effect by an act of the legislature, and if the taxpayers of this county favor this means of raising money, we must take 6teps to secure legislative candidates who will pledge themselves to work for and vote for such a measure. "I hope that every member of the association, and every person interested in public economy, will make it a point to attend this meeting, as everyone will be given an opportunity to be heard on any matter which may be brought before the association."
