ASSOCIATION IS FORMED Lcsislature May Be Asked for $25, 000 as Share for Establishing Agencies to Sell the Attrac tions of the Northwest. TACOMA, Wash.. Oct. 11. (Special.) The North Pacific Coast Tourist As sociation of Oregon, "Washington and British Columbia was organized here this evening for the purpose of com bining the three districts in a gigantic campaign for the sale of the scenic attractions ror the Northwest to th traveling: public of America. The action came as the result of an all-day deliberation of delegates representing the entire district and after an exhaustive investigation of the accomplishments of other states in selling: their attractions and climate. It was the largest meeting held in the four months that have been de voted to the effort of getting the states interested and British Columbia to com bine their assets and resources in a common cause. . Immediately after the funds are se cured a campaign will be put on through offices located rt advantage ous points In the East, where North west citizens will be in charge as sales agents and -will be required to furnish information concerning every section or the splendid district. The sales agents must know the highways, railways, wa terways and trails of the Northwest and be able to meet the people who want to make the acquaintance of the finest scenic section of America. , Delegates Art Convinced. The speeches thoroughly convinced the delegates as to the desirability of the tourist dollar, and its distribution among all the residents of the section. It was shown -that Americans are an nually spending $700,000,000 for their . vacations, and five tourist trails of Ji.u rope would be closed to their feet for the next few years Convinced of the fact that California receives $200,000,000 annually from tourists, that Colorado this year gained $"0,000,000 from the expenditure of $75,000 in advertising, and that land development has invariably followed the tourist, the convention declared its belief that the Legislatures of Oregon and AVashington should be asked to finance each of these states to the ex tent of $25,000 per annum for a period of two years. The total will mean, with $12,500 each year from British Columbia, a fund of $62,000 per annum for adver tising purposes. A plan Is now being worked out for the expenditure of" the money and will be in the hands of the representatives of the states and prov ince within a few days. The big argument for a state aroro priation is found in the distribution of the tourist dollar. It shines shoes, buys newspapers, cigars, fruits, meals. gasoline, milk, beds at hotels, labor at the garages and machine shops, it is ine Dest dollar that comes into a state. Longer Visits Advocated. The plan will be to advertise and sell sucn tug attractions as Crater T.nl. the Josephine caves, the Columbia Jiiver Highway, the Klamath Ul9 Wallowa Lake. McKenzie River and the Blue Mountains, with the high lights of a tour through Washington and British Columbia as one tour. It is hoped to interest the tourist in spending two or inree montns In, the Pacific Northwest insieaa or the usual two or three days. O. R. Todd, an Alderman of Victoria B.

PRESIDENT WILSON SCORED 'He Kept TJs Out of War" Classed Phrase of Coward, While Code of International Rights Is Held Broken Down. NEW YORK, Oct. 11. (Special.) Taking the exploits of the German submarine U-53 off the shores of Amevica as his text. Colonel Roosevelt has launched another broadside against President Wilson. Mr. Roosevelt de clares that the conduct of the war has led to a "complete breakdown of the code of international rights anu this he blames on the "Pontius Pilate like construction which President Wil son has put on neutrality." The sentence. He kept us out 01 war." which is one of the chief argu ments of the Democratic campaign. Colonel Roosevelt describes as "the Phrase of a coward." and utterly mis leading. "President Wilson declared that the war and the issues of right and wrong involved In its conduct and methods were of no concern to America, the leading neutral," says Colpnel Roose velt. "He thereby put America In the position of refusing to do her duty Jo others. He inspired contempt In others. This Invited aggression by others. In the face of this aggression, he speedily put America in a position of refusing to do her duty to her own citizens. Hundreds of Live Sacrificed. "Step by step, international law has been broken down. . By the attacks of German submarines on merchant men, the lives of hundreds of Ameri cans were sacrificed in a course which culminated in the sinking of the Lusi tania. In a similar fashion, the com mercial rights of property on .the sea were invaded by England, and the whole structure of International law, protection of commerce and private property was broken down. The invasion of the rights of men and women to their lives was far more serious than .the invasion of property rights, and it was the invasion that called lor the first and strongest ac tion on our part; but if he had taken such action it would have become our duty a duty then easily performed. instantly and fully to protect our property rights. "Many men question whether it will ever again be safe lor nations to be come inter-dependent . by allowing themselves, so far as their necessaries are concerned, to depend on foreign sources of supply if the theory of hav ing each nation or group of nations build a Chinese wall around its bor ders is being discussed because of the complete breakdown of the code of In ternational rights. Wilson Blamed for Breakdown. "The responsibility for this break down rests primarily on the Pontius Pilate-like construction which Presl dent Wilson has put on neutrality. "Now the war has been carried to our very shores. There Is no American who does not realize the awful tragedy of our indifference and inaction. isine-tenins or wisaom is Deing wise in time. By taking the right step at the right time America's influence and leadership might have been made a stabilizing force. President Wilson's ignoble shirking of responsibility has been clothed in an utterly misleading phrase, the phrase of a coward. 'He kept us out of war. In actual reality war has been creeping nearer and nearer, until it stares at us from Just beyond our three-mile limit and we face it without policy, plan, purpose 01 preparation. "No sane man can today be so blind as to believe President Wilson's origi nal ' statement that the war was no concern of ours. Every thinking man must realize the utter futility of a statesmanship without plan or policy until such facts as these now stare it In the face. violation of the Panama Canal tolls filank" in that instrument, but would take up the record the party In power had made. He then bitterly assailed the caucus system of both houses of Congress, particularly of the Benate. by which the Democratic party had. since the Inauguration- of President Wilson, railroaded legislation. He charged that 29 Senators in the Upper House who controlled the Democratic caucus also controlled the legislation of the Sen ate. The Underwood tariff came in for denunciation, as well as the at titude of the Democrats with relation to the emigration bill. The Adamson eight-hour law was branded as a measure that established a dangerous precedent by giving Con gress the power to regulate wage. which must eventually result in com pulsory arbitration. , Atter- severely arraigning President iison for his weak Mexican policy Senator Borah said: 'American citizens are entitled to the protection of their life and property, no matter to what part of God's foot stool they wander. If American sol dier boys are killed on the border it will be by American bullets permitted to be sold to Carranza by the present Administration. It will be charged with the crime. Regarding the Presidential situation Senator Borah declared that sentiment for Hughes and that he will be elected unless great and unforeseen in ternational problems present them selves changing the entire aspect of the present situation.
