I t has a direct bearing on the cam paign by reason of the fact th a t one of he chief argum ents being used by the State Cham ber is th a t cities are spend- ng huge sum s to advertise th e ir in te re sts along civic industrial lines. In th e article prepared by Mr. Aya showing the economic value of to u rist travel he says: " I t is estim ated th a t to u rists an- mally spend more than $750,000,000 in the U nited S tates. Of this sum it is estim ated Maine and Colorado recetva .’lose to $30.000,000; the New E ngland states close to $100.000,000; F lorida close to $200.000,000 and southern C ali fornia close to $300,000,000— while in 1918 It was estim ated th at Oregon w ith •icenery second to none in the world received less th a a $5,000,000 from this source. The best exam ple in the world of the possibilities of th e to u rist busim ss is Sw itzerland, with an area of 15.9$$ square miles, or about one-third larger than H arney county in eastern Oregon.
