What Others Think
Courtesy to Tourists

Courtesy to Tourists
There is more motor touring this summer than
might have been expected, and many cities are profit
ing by it, They are nearly always cities that have
made special efforts to take of the tourist trade
and have reputation for treating visitors court
eously.
The secretary of an automobile club which has per-
formed excellent service in this respect finds that tour
ing departments all over the state are swamped with
inquiries for routes to his city, and it's streets are fill
ed with cars from all the country. He tells his
fellow-citizens:
Every resident should remember that while the
visitor is guest he to the city than lust
that Tourists stopping here mean dollars in the
pockets of our business and benefit for us ALL"
Every motorist who enters the city is potential
buyer of gasoline OIL garage space accessories hotel
accommodations meals miscellaneous merchandise and
amusement. If he is treated well and accorded the
courtesy to which guest is entitled he will return
He will also tell his friends back home about the
friendly spirit here. Good advertising pays and moth
ing gives city favorable publicity than the
manner in which it receives its touring visitorsn-

PUBLIC works
NEED CITED

NEW YORK, May 16.-Actior
by Congress to provide a public
works program to stimulate in
dustry was urged today by Mark
Mckee, executive director Of the
national employment commission
of the American Legion.
Mckee conferred on this sub
ject last week with Henry l.
Stevens, national commander Of
the American Legion, who came
to New York from Indianapolis
for this purpose.
Discussing the necessity for q
public works program, Mckee
said:
"It is useless to blink at the
seriousness Of the economic
situation.
"That it is the most acute
the country has ever faced, and
that it presents an emergency
problem possibly more disturb
ing than the one faced by the
United States at the beginning
Of the world war, are facts no
longer denied.
"A public works program
seems essential, not only to re-
Meve unemployment, but to
keep the men who have jobs
steadily employed"

STRAWN FLAYS
SURTAX RATES

SAN FRANCISCO, May Is
"The proposed surtaxeS on in.
dividual incomes in the revenue
bill passed by the House of Rep
resentativeS have been raised
beyond the point where they
: can be justified as productive
Of revenue"
In those words today, SilaS H
Strawn, president of the Chamber
of Commerce Of the United
States, criticised the proposed
financial program of the Fedora
Government. He said:
"The Surtax rates Of the
House bill have not only been
maintained, but increased by
the Senate. They constitute an
other penalty upon business en-
terprise, for such rates will in
evitably cause withdrawal Of
large amounts Of capital from
business undertakings, which
will increase investment in tax
free securities, of which the
amount outstanding today Is
larger than at the peak Of war
financing.
Furthermore, the Govern
ment will prOpOrtiOnately lose
; revenue, and business will lose
the use Of capital, at the time
when il is less able to spare it
than at any time in genera
tons" .
