ing him, not because of himself but
because he is a Salt Laker.
THE objects of this movement has
been told and retold," he said; but
they still bear repeating. When the
millions of dollars that are spent by
citizens OF the United States abroad
yearly are considered the need for such
a movement needs no explanation,
nor excuse. America has natural beau
ties far ahead of those so widely adj
vertised and existing, in foreign chimes.
Tens of thousands of Americans visit
Europe because of a foolish fad, an
excuse to say they have been in Eu-
rope.
Something must be done to stop
this foolish, faddish exodus of Ameri-
cans to Europe every year. This con-
ference is first for the purpose of de-
vising ways and means for connecting
methods to get the Americans to real
lie that America has everything for
those who seek pleasure and health
The standard of patriotism will be
lifted when the American people have
been taught to know that America. has
all the scenic beauty supposed to be
confined within the borders of the Eu-
ropean countries. The United States

resources of the west. Thus eastern
capital will develop western industries
and in turn the western industries will
pour additional wealth into eastern
Golfers. When American travel is con-
fined TO America the nations trade will
receive an impetus resulting in advan-
tages too numerous to enumerate."
Mr.. Harris was applauded when he
finished.

Plan of Work Submitted.
The real work of the convention was
reached when L. G. Monroe Of the Spo-
kane chamber of commerce took the
platform to submit the plan agreed
upon by the special committee that had
been working upon it for weeks Mr..
Monroe was listened TO with deep inter-
est and many times was interrupted
by applause. When he had completed
the reading Judge J. H. Richards of
Idaho moved that a special commit
tee be appointed by the chair to con-
