below which taxes cannot be reduced,
and then it is necessary to add to tnc
population and wealth to distribute
The burden.
The colonization division Of the
Atchison. Topeka g. Santa Fe rail-
way has carried advertisements OF
the Salt River valley in the Country
Gentleman. Munseys, Orange Judd
Farmer, Outlook and probably one
or two others. This advertising has
| brought many inquiries both to the
chamber of commerce and to the
colonization office of the Santa Fe.
The advertisement carried occupied
only small amount OF space, about
one inch, but results haye been ample

/ tising campaign would carry to thou
sands Of people of the North and
East the message of the opportunities
and the advantages that nwait item
in this favored land. where soil and
climate combine to Offer most to
homemakers.
With the rebuilding OF the Apache
trail, work on which will start early
/ in April, the Southern Pacific COM
pany will begin its advertising Of
that route and will bring through
the valley and the city many thou
sands of visitors. 1t is believed that
the beginning OF a greater winter
tourist business is now at hand.
! There are roads over which TO travel.
The splendid golf course Of the new
Country club will be another attrac-
| tion which will draw here, every win
| ter, a large number of the right kind
of people.
A volunteer committee on optimism
! secured a lot of valuable publicity
and accomplished good results in
getting individuals to change their
attitude Of mind regarding conditions.
The committee believed that much
could be accomplished by a more
cheerful attitude on the part OF citi-
zens and worked to this end. The
committee was successful in every
way.
In compliment to The Elks drill
team. which made such a success in
California the directors entertained
the drill team at dinner in July.
Cave Creek
A special committee of the chamber
kept in very close touch with the
Cave Creek matter and the activity
of the committee has been very fay
orably commented upon by those who
really know what was accomplished.
The committee is urging that work
on this structure be rushed as rapidly
as possible consistent with good man
/ agement, hoping that the dam will be
finished before the summer rains.
County Chamber
Another matter which is working
to the adantage of the entire county
is the creation of the county cham
Der of commerce, composed of repre-
sentatives elected from each COM
munity, five representatives being
the delegation which each community
is entitled TO have in attendance at
all meetings. The county organiza-
tion has already undertaken many
matters which are working out adj
vantageousiy for all concerned.
The organization Of the Phoenix
Los Angeles alliance to bring closer
relationship between the two COM
munities is also funcrioning we'll and
will result in great benefit.
The chamber co-o1Derated with the
Water Users association to oppose
the application for power rights on
the Black river which is included
within the Salt river reserve.
6ankhead Convention
During the past year an invitation
Arizona republican., 1922-03-29

was extended to the Bankhead High
way association TO hold its next con-
vention in Phoenix. The officials Of
| this organization have been in Phoe-
nix the past month, planning for the
affair and the outlook Is for a very
successful occasion, April "a to 20
In the meantime the city and county
as we'll as the state OF Arizona are
receiving a great deal OF valuable
| advertising from the publicity sent
out by the Bankhead association.
One feature Of Advertising which is
! creating comment is the establish
ment Of several signboards along the
National Old Trails highway, urging
people to visit the salt River valley
| before they leave Arizona These
boards are 80 feet long, feet high
and contain a very attractive adver-
! tisement calling attention to the op-
| portunities and attractions here.
The use OF he chamber OF COM
merce rooms for meetings is prac-
| tically contnual; sometimes, as many
/ as three meetings being held in one
day. Among the many organizations
which have made use OF the assem-
bly, room are the following:
Insurance Agents association. the
Welfare league, the Maricopa Coun-
/ ~ Poultry association, Salt River
/ valley real estate. board, American
| Women Overseas league. Aritex Oil
company. Automotive Dealers asso
citation, various state societies. Auto
mobile Statesmen association, Iron
| Springs Outing club, United Produce
/ Growers association, United States
| Vanadium Dew. company, Western
Union employees, Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph company
employees, Century club, Disabled
Veterans, Bohemian club, and many
| others.
Some OF the bodies have regular
weekly or monthly meetings.
The rooms OF the chamber were
also used as meeting place for the
/ Y. w. G. A. financial drive. voca
| tional conference, depositors OF the
Citizens State bank, Central bank de-
positors, Associated Charities, Par
ent Teachers association food drive
American legion, Disabled Veterans
1 Lotus Valley Water Users associa-
/ ton, Paradise Verde Water Users
association, Elks finance campaign
headquarters, Arizona Wool Growers,
and others.
None of these organizations was
! charged anything for this service. II
! is a part OF the general work OF the
chamber, which is a clearing house
/ for civic and county matters, assist
| ing in every way to advance the in
terests OF the city and county as we'll
! as the citizens.
| Considerable co o-operation has been
extended to the Poultry association
and the Farm Bureaus in their ef-
! forts to be of service TO the farmers
Of the community. The chamber is
! always ready to help the agricultural
/ interests OF the valley and is on the
lookout for suggestions and advice as
to the best methods By which it can
! serve.
No attempt has been made in this
report to cover all OF the matters
! which have had all the attention OF
the board. A report which would in
clude mention Of all subjects would
be too lengthy and too tedious Men
tion has been made merely OF the
items which it is thought would be
| OF general interest
Several membership meetings or
| town meetings have been held. The
largest. attendance at any OF these
meetings was the one when George
Arizona republican., 1922-03-29

handled this subject decided that it
would be well TO have some of their
own funds and for this purpose raised
money sufficient to take care of all
OF the expenses necessary to send
representatives to Washington to ap-
pear before the proper committees
and also to prepare the very elabo-
rate reports and briefs which
were required by the senate commit
tee. 1t will be interesting for the
members TO know that these two
briefs contained a total OF 81 pages
and that so copies OF each brief were
prepared and used.
Advertising
Considerable time has been expend-
ed in meeting with representatives OF
all organizations in the county rela-
tive to a campaign for advertising
/ the community. While the county
organization did not secure the funds
1t had hoped TO have to accomplish
any big work, the bringing OF these
representatives together has resulted
in much good and by working to-
gether and getting the viewpoint OF
the others there has been a noticeable
improvement in the proper effort to
interest the settler.
While short the money. the cham
Der of commerce has issued 21S.6O0
booklets, folders, maps and other
forms OF literature during the year
ended Feb. s2S. The call is for more
and more each year and it is getting
harder each year to supply the de-
mand.
1t is often suggested that an ex-
tensive advertising campaign should
be started. This should be done and
IT certainly would be a wonderful
thing TO have a substantial sum
which could be well spent through
some recognized advertising agency
with a record for accomplishment
In our publicity work we have re-
quired over 500 photographs to ac-
company articles and stories which
go out daily from the office Many
features have beens utilized to keep
the public generally informed regard
ing Phoenix and the valley. Advan-
tage has been taken of the co-opera-
ton of Phoenix people going to diff
ferent conventions, Rotary, KiWanis
the Federation of Women's Clubs, the
Sunday school convention, the Chris
tan Endeavor convention, and a
great many other meetings and gath
erings. Representatives from your
advertising committee met the Off
Gals OF the Worlds Press conference
at TIE Nrduu AduJOAl, Aut NlSll OF MI.
Lyman OF the New York World Sc
cured for the valley a full page in
that great paper; lecturers have been
supplied with slides for lantern use,
260 having been issued for this par
ticular work.
OF course nothing like as much has
been done as the advertising COM
mittee would like to undertake, but
the committee has made splendid use
of the materials available for its use.
The use OF signboards has been
undertaken during the past year.
The signs in the northern part of the
state are attracting much attention
and are influencing many to visit the
valley.
The advertising committee OF the
chamber is in hopes that the county
and city will sometime soon see the
heed for a liberal appropriation for
advertising purposes. II is the opin-
ion of the committee that reduction

may be secured. but there is a limit
