TOURIST BUSINESS ABRoAp

AS a magnet for the attraction OF
tourists Southern California is to the
United States what Switzerland is to
Europe. There is a great deal that we
Of the land OF sunshine may learn to
advantage, therefore. from the older
focus of tourist travel.
Switzerland does not equal Southern
California in area nor does 1t approach
it in natural productions. In products
of the tourist travel, however, our sec
ton is as a kindergarten to a post
graduate compared with the land OF
William Tell.
A recent estimate of the annual tour
list business in Switzerland shows that
: the total income of the hotels alone
averages $50 900, 900. The lofty noun
tains, with their perennial snowcaps
and glaciers. are almost the sole at
traction Of visitors, but they yield the
larger part Of the nations income. 1t
is stated that within the last fifty-five
wears the national wealth Of Switzer-
land has increased 1,4o0,0Ooo0o. two
thirds OF which has been acquired by
the hotel proprietors.
The cultivation of tourist travel has
been reduced in Switzerland to fine
art and almost to an exact science.
Judging from general descriptions Of
the methods employed. 1t is said that
the Swiss hotel keeper makes his busi-
ness the study Of lifetime. The ac-
commodations he offers to guests are as
cozy and alluring as 1t is possible to
make them, and the food and attend
ance are usually all that can be de-
sired. The American idea Of charging
"all the traffic will stand" as applied
by many hotel men, has not taken in
Switzerland.
Not only the hotels but all else with
which the tourist comes in contact is
pleasing to the sojourner in Switzer-
land. The roads are smooth as floors,
even on the mountain sides, and the
railway service approaches perfection.
There is no doubt that Southern
CaIifornia's tourist travel will in time
rival that Of Switzerland, for the nat
ural attractions in this section are un-
equaled as whole in any foreign land.
Our mountains do not quite equal some
of the Swiss peaks in altitude, although
several of our higher peaks reach near
to the line of perpetual snow.
Where our southland greatly excels
is in the feature indicated by the object
lesson of from snow to roses in forty
minutes and by proximity to the
ocean. In the matter Of climate, OF
course. Switzerland is not comparable
with Southern California.
The lesson taught us by experience
in Switzerland is that the tourist busi-
ness of this section is susceptible of
boundless expansion. attainable by
systematic effort.

A CIVIC TERRIBLE EXAMPLE

San Francisco as spectacle for other
cities to observe recalls the conven-
tional temperance lecturers terrible
lexample." The city of the Golden
Gate, like many a promising young
man, has descended to pitiable condi-
ton. The situation in that city at the
present time is suggestive of the victim
of delirium tremens, an object calcu-
lated to make other cities eager to sign
the pledge.
| Note the effect on the business activi-
ties of San Francisco that has been
caused by the reign Of terror. We
read in the reports that building has
entirely stopped and the city is filed
with idle men," The stoppage of build
ing has no direct connection with the
strike situation, but it seems that the
labor conditions generally are so un-
satisfactory that capitalists decline to
make further investments in the work
of reconstruction.
Business men. as reported, Cannot
get money to go on with the work OF
Improvement. Money that came flood
ing after the fire from insurance COM
panies has been used up and eastern
men will not send money into city
that is ruled by labor unions"
AS a consequence of the strikes and
the potency of the labor agitator the
business interests of San Francisco are
partially paralyzed, the rebuilding of
-
business men are eager to get away
finally and forever.
And the laboring classes are ap-
preaching an even worse plight than
the business interests. Thousands OF
workers are without employment and
destitution exists in many homes
This condition invites even greater dam
ger than the strikes now in progress
for it may lead to acts of desperation
by the hungry and destitute.
| And the same general cause that has
led to San Francisco's distress is pro-
ducing incidental distress in remote
districts. The trade union warfare up.
on japanese labor has caused such 6
scarcity of labor in the agricultural
districts that farmers in some section:
are unable to harvest their crops.
| AS an example, a dispatch from
Porterville, the center Of the northern
orange belt, states that hundreds O.
tons of farm produce in this section arr
being burned by farmers in order e
clear the ground, as there is no avail
able help to harvest the crops. Farm
help is not to be had at any price,"
Truly is San Francisco terrible
spectacle for other cities to behold. 1
has been for years in a chronic state o
labor trouble, breaking out frequentl!
in strike eruptions. Like physica
troubles, the municipal kind are amen
able to easy treatment in the earle
stages, but when Of long standing onl!
the most heroic remedies can make an,
Impression.
