The effect of the differential was brought home to me when I attempted to persuade the members of the National \ssoiiation of Public Service Commissioners to come by wav of Seattle on their excursion to San Francisco. I desire to publicly thank all those who assisted so splendidly in bringing about this signal victory. I .ot me suggest now. with this differential out of the way. that all public organizations in the lity of Seattle get to- gether for one big drive for the tourist traffic that will conic to the Pacific coast during this coming summer. It seems to me that now is the psychological time to get busy along these lines Ihe Northern route is the natural route for the tourist traffic during the summer month" Ihe differential which has been eliminated was sufficient to nullify our efforts to bring tourist traffic this wav. but with the differential out of the way, there i» no reason why. instead of having 10 per cent, we should not have it least <«0 per cent of the tourist traffic during the mouths of June, July, August and September. Star Wins Great Fight for the Entire Northwest Northwest merchants, shippers, manufacturers, toilers, all classos, are united today in expressions of satisfaction over the great victory for this section of the country in the tourist rate de- cision handed down Monday by the interstate commerce commis- sion. Fired by the enthusiasm of this gigantic boon to the Northwest, a movement is under way for a concerted boosters' campaign in the East, to advertise the attractions of Washington and Oregon jointly. For the victory of the tourist rates, by which the round trip fares from Chicago to San Francisco will be the same, whether by way of the Northwest or Southern California, is a joint tri- umph for both Oregon and Washington. At the very outset of the fight last year, The Star enlisted the services of its sister papers, the Portland News, the Tacoma Times and the Spokane Press. Together they carried on the campaign. Boosters' meetings were held in each of the cities named. Finally, the state of Washington and Oregon jointly paid the expense of sending Charles A. Reynolds, of Seattle, to Washing- ton, D. C., to argue the case. All the expenses incidental to the suit filed by Reynolds were shared by the states of Oregon and Washington.
