Wash ington and British ' Columbia,' tor which the hut Oregon letfalatore Appropriated 145,000 to be used with Hke mime appropriated by Washington and British Columbia, fcaa entered upon its campaign for tourists. It will seek to promote the tourist travel, both by rail, and y v asto. As its - slogan for the latter half of the work It fcaa adopted: "100.000 Visiting Au tomobiles for HI 8." Automobile tourists and good road construction go hand in hand. There are millions of automobiles In use in the United States and a decidedly good percentage of this number can be brought on vacation tours to the Pacific northwest, the beet playground on earth, by means of two incentives: Good roads and Judicious advertising. The advertising ; campaign,, has .. been started properly. It is being done by Oregon, Washington and "British Columbia jointly in a pro per recognition of the fact that the tourist who comes to Oregon will ... also probably visit Washington and British Columbia on the same trip; and the tourist coming to either Washington or British Columbia will not return without seeing Oregon. The ,post of this ..advertising is paid by the states and not by the 'small communities severally nor by public spirited ' citizens. This Is right, Every dtlten and every pro perty interest in all the three states (speaking of British Columbia as a , state) will benefit by every bit of tourist travel which comes this way. As students of government give more thought to public work of this kind, they appreciate the justness and ne cessity of its being carried on through the larger governmental agencies and at the expense of all. The cost to the average citizen ol Oregon for this campaign to attract tourists would be about five cents per year. It is well worth the money and much more. Tax payers, sometimes Justly, de plore the heavy expenditures ne cessitated by modern road building This Is largely due to the fact that the benefits come after the roads are built. With a tourist travel brought through our cities as soon as, and In fact proceeding, the bulld- , Ing of permanent highways, the citi sens paying for those highways be gin to reap a pecuniary benefit from their Investments before the money Is actually spent. The plan make one hand wash the other. It. results In a splendid system or highways which will be used by local people ten times where the visiting tourists will nte tliem once; it will build up an acquaintance among the thickly populated eastern communities with the forest-clad mountains and sun kissed valleys of this garden spot of the, continent; it will add Intrinsic material value to every piece of land because of greater accessibil ity and the easier marketing of pro-' dure. The same principle can be applied in a more local way with good re sults. With the road building needs facing the county court of Jose phine county for the next year or two. It will donbUesa feel that little money should be spent on commu nity advertising.' That is true. Still a small amount might 1e Judiciously and advantageously spent. 'Larger amounts will be spent by Jackson and Klamath counties. - Each of these two' counties will spend from three to five times as much as Jo sephine. The invitation extended to an out side tourist to visit this section will carry many times the weight If It mentions, as the attractions which he will see by coming, a string of successive beauty spots along roads that ere attractive and varied in their scenery, than If It had mentioned only a single attraction. For Instance, a piece of literature handed to a Californian describing a splendid auto loop tour, coming up the Sacramento valley, past Mt. Las sen, Mt, Shasta, over Into the Klamath county, up to Crater lake, down through the Rogue river valley, to Grants Pass and the Ore gon caves, to Crescent City, through the red woods, across the Mendlclno mountains, and retain ing to San Francisco toy by the Run- . i 1 r. . SHnu vallava Stan river uu muw will bring ten tourists where the same amount of money spent In discriminately by the three southern Oregon counties will bring one. . We do not advocate the expendi ture of any large sum by this county on such an advertising campaign, but we do believe that any sum, however small, could be spent more judiciously tf It could bring to its aid the sums to be expended by other southern Oregon counties In and advertisement of the attractive ness of all southern Oregon.
