If not you are passing up one of the best op- portunities ever offered to help in firmly establishing in this state an organization that will bring to Ari- zona many benefits that are not now felt and much prosperity that comes through the activities of such 8 club. The acquisition of adequate high ways. the signing of all roads and trails, the bridging of streams, the great potential tourist traffic all are dependent to a great extent upon how thoroughly united the motorists of this state shall be.
