STATE AUTOMOBILE CLUB
HELPS THE WHOLE STATE

The opening of the new year finds
the Automobile club of Arizona in a
better position to serve as contact
between the automobile owners using
the public highways of Arizona and
the business interests of the state
than ever before in its history.
Under the efficient management of
Wilbur Treadwell the Automobile
club has increased It's membership
more than a hundred per cent in the
past six months, has demonstrated
that it is a real factor in advertising
Arizona climate, highways and seem
ery in the east in manner that has
resulted in thousands of automobile
tourists visiting. Arizona who other
wise would have made their trans
continental trip by routes through
other states. ~
During 1925 the club expended
$1,000 in signing Arizona highways
for the benefit of all motorists using
them. The club received and answer
ed over 10000 telephone and tele-
graph inquiries as to road conditions
! in Arizona; received and answered
1000 letters from residents of other
states desiring Arizona information,
which resulted in increased tourist
travel within the state.
Manager Treadwell maintains that
| the great objective of the automobile
| club is the diffusion of tourist traffic
over the state by consistent advertis-
| ing of Arizona climate, highways and
scenic beauty, as every day spent in
Arizona by party of automobile
tourists means more money put into
the business channels of Arizona.
! During 1926 more than million
non-residents visited Arizona, some
simply used the highways to cross the
state as quickly as possible, while
others remained longer periods to
visit spots of historical or scenic in
terest, but all were of business value
| to the state.

The action was authorized by the
county supervisors at the instigation
of-Dr. Edward Gothelf, county health

shots have been hired to do the kill
ings. Several days will be required
to complete the job, the humane agent

J As the District code now stands
the closed season extends for q
period Of only two months. from
April to May 20, inclusive, opening
in time for Decoration Day anglers.
The opinion Of those who have made
q study Of conditions relative to
bass life, in local waters. the
period Is entirely too short.
During the months Of January,
February and March bass are found
to be in q more or less dormant
state and figuratively speaking
they can be caught with the hands.
The first three months Of the year
almost spell destruction for the
bass clans in the Potomac and Its
tributaries, under District control,
for It is during this spell that
near.anglers slaughter the half
starved and almost frozen game
sters. 80
And, then again, should the win
ter be one of open character the
bass will begin an early spawning
season and as every angler knows
a bass in such state becomes easy
prey for the human elements.
