County Clerk Bliss received a communication Wednesday from Representative Turnbull In regards to a bill he had introduced in the United States House of Representatives, providing for a national commission to investigate and report to Congress on the establishment of permanent exhibits at Washington of the natural, industrial and educational resources of "each state in the Union; and asking for his opinion on the matter. Mr. Bliss says he believes it would be a good thing as "It would be of Vital interest to all, especially the foreign element, who could see the many advantages of a state, from an unprejudiced viewpoint." The states will spend vast amounts of money for an exhibit at a Fair," said Mr. Bliss, "and it does only temporary duty, while an exhibit of this kind would be a continuous advertisement for each state; I am in favor of it."
