WORSE THAN WAR

Whatever. else may happen
during 1928, it is Q practical Ger
tainty that more than Is, 900
Americans will be killed in traffic
accidents and another 750. 900 in.
jured.
It is STANCE that the awful
death toll of automobiles does
not serve as a warning to auto
mobile drivers and pedestrians
alike, but it appears that it does
not. While a slight lessening of
the accident rate in proportion
to the number of cars in use has
been noted, the total number of
casualties has steadily increas
ed.
Many persons who worry over
germs or minor dangers of other
sorts will take chances on the
highways which are bound to-
sooner or later end in disaster.
AS recent statistics show, three
times as many casualties result
from automobile accidents in q
single year as were suffered by
United States forces during the
entire World War. The war
cost more lives. but the automo
bile is responsible for more in,
jured.
Among the yearly. automobile
deaths are those of about 1000
children of school age. the great
est number being between the
ages of 6 and IL years. The
greatest numb of accidents oc
cur between 5 ard 6 o'clock in
the afternoon. Drivers and pc.
destrians are equally at fault in
their responsibility for accidents
according to the best availa BILE
estimates.
While the automobile is an in
dispensible convenience of mo
dern life, it has already caused
the death of almost as many
persons as were killed in battle
in all the American armies since
the founding Of the republic.

The idea was suggested to
several of us here last fall, said
Mr.. Tatum, in forceful manner
by Californian thoroughly fa-
miliar with the results obtained
in his state. and has been under
serious consideration for months
before definite action was taken.
Broadly speaking. the purpose
of Arizanans, Inc., is to do for
the state what the Phoenix-Ari
zona>club and other local organi
zations are doing each for it's
own town, city or county.
How much money will be
raised must depend on the ener-
gy, vision and tact with which
the project is advanced. The
possibilities are boundless. What
added population will do for =
state in augmenting it's stores of
enterprise as well as wealth has
been proved.
We intend to launch cam
paign of national advertising,
with q close personal follow up
of every individual prospect de
veloped."
In the more formal language
of the Incorporation papers, as
already published ia The Ari
zona Republican. the objects of
the organization are to furnish
authentic information regarding
the resources, opportunities and
attractions of Arizona; to pro
vide service of advice, direc
ton and assistance to persons
desiring to visit or settle in Ari
zona; to Participate. in activities
for the development of the state
and to corporate with all COM
munities of the state in the ex
ploitation and development of
their several resources and ad
vantages.
y Special attention will be focus
ed on the encouragement of tour
ist travel and the colonization of
lands now coming under irriRa
tion.

land and James A. Dorsey OF
Phoenix; L. G. James, former
president Of the Tucson Cham.
ber of Commerce; 81. G.. Bush, of

sought. he added, with the Ari

local chambers Of commerce and
interests of every description
primarily interested in the up

 Meeting Is Enthus astic
 The reunion meeting was filed with enthusiasm from start to fin ish, according to Mir. Whittier. and from conversation had by him with the various yacht clubs, together with correspondence in the hands of the Olympia committee, all in- dications are that the 1929 race will see al least double the num- Der of entrants. Request has been made of the Olympia-Juneau committee to establish an addi- tional class of entrants as to in elude yachts above 65 feet in 1 .ength. This will undoubtedly be lone in the new regulations. News i paper clippings were shown at the meeting which had been cut from | papers published in nearly every | state in the Union, which showed | he immense advertising value the race had for Puget Sound and | Alaska.

The Commodore of the Tacoma yacht club gave a hearty welcome to the guests and the meeting was turned over to Commodore Dr. E. A. Rich, owner and skipper of the yacht Argosy. After the Cap tains and crews who had partici- pated in the 1928 race had been presented by Dr. Rich moving pie lures were shown of the race from the start at Olympia to the fin- ish at Juneau, including many To- cal views of Juneau, Mendenhall and Taku glaciers. These pie lures had been taken by members of the crews of the yachts and while none claimed to be profe3- sional photographers the pictures were said to be the finest Alaska views ever shown on the coast. Over an hour was taken in show ing these pictures, which, while mostly scenic in nature, contained many humorous views of the crews taken while in action on the yachts.
