INVESTING $4,000

If anyone suggested bringing an
industry into this state that would
circulate $5,O00,0O0 year at cost
scribed in forty-eight hours in any
one of our principal cities. 1t would
be business proposition, the re-
turns from which would justify any
city in making the investment.
The Pacific Northwest Tourist AS
ISOLATION has made a much greater
business proposition to the entire
state in asking the state Legislature
to appropriate $4,000 year for
two years, to be used with appro-
priations from Oregon and British
Columbia in a campaign to bring
tourists to the Pacific Northwest.
Tourist traffic is the principal in
,ustry OF Southern California and the
commercial organizations of that
state estimate that tourists will
spend 100000 in California
this winter. California is spending
more than 100000, the greater part
IF which is raised by taxation, to Sc
cure tourist business.
The Pacific Northwest has not Sc
cured it's share of tourist business
for lack of proper publicity. The
plans of the Pacific Northwest Tour
list Association, if carried through
will result in great summer tourist
business to the Pacific Northwest
which should result in an expendi
ture of $5O.OO0.O00 annually in the
State of Washington.
The appropriation asked of the
legislature is small, when the great
general benefit from tourist travel
IS considered, and there should be
10 hesitancy on the part of the legis
'ature to make this investment for
