Thus far we have done a good Job of
it, but from now onward we must
have greater revenues If the other
cities are not going to forge ahead of
us and leave Jackson county In the
background.
"One activity alone will Illustrate
what I mean. That la tbe tourist
business which means so much to
Jackson county. Other cities are
spending large amounts of money in
advertising their attractions snd as
prosperity returns they are Increas
ing their advertising budgets. We
have superb tourist attractions In
southern Oregon but they are of no1
benefit In attracting travelers unless
they know about them.

Commerce has been carrying on a
constructive program of activities for
the past three years as outlined In
the Mali Tribune Monday. Establish
ment here of the CCC, which In msny
respects hss been a life-saver. Is but
one of the numerous accomplish
ments of the chamber.
"The activities of the chamber.,
however, sre now far out of propor-1
tlon to Its Income snd if our broad
program is to be continued without
curtailment we must have sdditlonsl
income. Alertness, progressive ness and
hard work are no longer sufficient In
themselves. We must also have ade
quate revenue."
