WORLD'S POOREST CITY
IS MADE RICHEST
BY TOURIST TRAVEL
From tho poorest republic lu thu
world to tho richest Is what tourists
Havel did for Switzerland. That lltllu
republic practically unknown a century
igo Is now recognized thu world over
is a playground for tourists becaus
its scenic beauties were capitalized.
Datu showing whut tho tourist busi
ness has dune for Switzerland has been
jrepured by Alfred A. Aya representing
he Swin Interests lu Oregon nnd
unit il over to the Oregon Stato Cham-
oer of ConimercK to be used In connec-
Innwlth Its stiite-wlde expansion cam
paign now in progress.
It hus a direct bearing ou the cam
paign by reuson of thu fact that ono of
he chief arguments being used by the
Statu Chamber Is that cities ure spend
ing huge sums to udvertlsu their In
terests along civic Industrial lines.
In tho arllclu prepared by Mr, Aya
ihowlng thu economic valuo of tourist
ruvo! he suys
"It is estimated that tourists an
nually spend more than $750,000,000 In
the United Ststos, Of this sum It is
estimated Maluo and Colorado receive
;loc to $50,000,000; the New Kngland
itutes close to $100,000,000; Florida
closo to $200,000,000 und southern Cali
fornia close to $300,000,000 while In
1918 It wax estimated thut Oregon with
K'onory tut-ond to none In tho world
received less than $6,000,000 from this
ource.
"Thu bust example In tbe world of the
possibilities of the tourist business la
Switzerland, with an area or 15,966
squure miles, or about oue-ihird larger
thuii Harney county In eusteru Oregon.
"The Swiss did not ooiwrliiusly begin
development or the tourist business
until ubout 100 yours ugo, starting
a till the single guest In the spare,
room until today the little ropubllo
hus, according to thu latest hotel guide,

S70O beds for tourists."
Specific cities cited by the State
o advertise their possibilities Inolude
'Miumlier that aro spending huge sums

Le.iderthip Qualities.
Til-' challenge (if leadership must be
(lie Inner spontaneous response to an
outer opportunity or It will never Inst
over night.
.HiiccifeM artists are Hooding the
world wlili nvily-mnilp recipes for how
to win They forget- that you can't
put lklim where there Ih no Inclina
tion to vision. And where there Is
no vision failure Is bound to result.
Thut'H why It Is that o inniiy people
never get beyond tho point of work
In for the other inun. They art) Just
slaves of toduy. They fear responsi
bility. Loads thnt bring Joy to the
heart of thu real man crush them.
Hut where men see the possibilities
there In un limit to what they may
accomplish. At- bottom a man must
have In him something of the soul that
appeals und feel the self-mastery that
urges him to attempt what others have
failed In. It may seem a common
thing, but It's one of the ussets of success.
DEMOCRATIC CONTROL
FOR STATE CHAMBER
Subscribers to Budget Will
Havo Voico In Mattor
of Expondlturos.
"After I have subscribed to the Ore
gon State Chamber of Commerce, wTlat
part will 1 have in the organization?"
This question Is frequently heard In
connection with tho State Chamber ex
pansion movomaul now In progress,
Tho answer Is that all subscribers
wilt have a voice In saying how the
money will be spent. Uy this and
other methods the fundamental demo
cracy of the organization Is assured.
Of course tho Uoard of Directors, to
which ovory member Is ellglblo, will
actually expond the funds of the organ
ization; but they will be guided lu
their expenditures by the wishes of thu
subscribers.
To detrrmlno what the subscribers
want the Stato Chamber to do, group
moetlugs will be. held In ovory center
of population In thu state, when nil sub
scribers will bo called together uud
asked to answer, In writing, the fol
lowing questiens:
1. What can the Oregon Bin to Chain
ber of Commerce do to Improve coudl
tlons of opportunities In your own lino
of buslucss or profession?
2, What do you bulluvo tho Oregou
Statu Chamber of Commerce should du
to advance tho Interests of your owu
community?
3. What lu your opinion as a citizen,
Is tho thing of first Importance for,
the Oregon Stato Chamber of Com
merce to do for tho good of tho statu
as a whole,?
After these group meetings have
been held under the direction of thu
executive committee, lu charge of thu
campaign, each district will select ouu
representative to utteud a convention
with tho ofricora and directors of tho
Statu Chamber, and the unswers to the
questluns will be formulated Into a
program of activities designed to untto
thu sutlre state ou definite tasks.
Tho program of work will also con
trol expenditures. When work Is start
ed on this program the directors will
follow their present practice of submit
ting questions of wldu Importance by
means of referendum,
Tho Directors represent every city
ind county In tho stato. Itrpreseuta
lion on thu Hoard Is arrunged geo
graphically and not bused on popula
tion, Kastoru Orogon Is represented by
five Directors, Western Oregon by five,
Multnomah County by two, and there
are three at large, inaklug a total of
fifteen, which avoids the possibility
of control by any one section,
To sum up: Tho State Chamber will
do what the subicrlbers themselves say
hould be done, It will function
through a Hoard of Directors eluctt-d
by delegates and officers, Including an
executive seen tary elected by thu
Hoard. Voting will be done by consti
tuent members, Individual subscribers
help make up thn program or activities
and carry them to completion through
committee service.
