This war on roads includes all The routes southeast, southwest and south of Salt Lake City. scenic attractions of Southern Utah, Mt. Timpanogos, Provo canyon, Utah Lake, Bryce canyon, Fishlake, Zion National park, Cedar Breaks and north rim of Grand canyon are to be left out in the cold as far as their routing are concerned.' Southern Utah and Southern California will not dig up to their organization and so are put on the A. A. A. official blacklist. Their avowed intention is to route all coast travel to Central California and the northwest. Under the caption of New Highway Routing Due A. A. A. Conference Here To Map Tourist Routes Through Northwest, their news bureau at Washington. D. C., sent out the following item Travel into the Pacific Northwest has shown a marked recently: The country contains the increase during the summer months. scenic marvels of the west. The national association is working closely with the Pacific Coast clubs to develop business into Northern California (Wendover Route) and the northwest during the summer and the road and information service these wonderful clubs have established appeal to our members and to the millions routed by our clubs. It appears that Utah is to be advertised as a way station en-rou- te to Northern California and the Pacific Northwest by the A. A. A. All a tourist needs in Utah, it seems, is a hot dog and a gallon of gas to get him out of the blacklisted state. Its scenic attractions, the greatest in the world, are to be blacklisted by some officious personage who doesnt know whether Bryce canyon is a new summer drink, a brand of hair tonic or one of natures masterpieces. The Auto Club of Southern California was referred to at the While it is by no means the recent convention in this fashion: action of the members of the western clubs, Mr. Smith stated that the Auto Club of Southern California is on the blacklist of the A. A. A. Its members cannot expect to teceive any information from In support of this statement, he explained that A. A. A. clubs. of the southern club had met the efforts to gain the with failure and that it had become very evident that the organization desired to continue its existence without the affiliation or assistance of the A. A. A. He claimed that the California club controlled by a clique and in conclusion said that the 800' clubs of the A. A. A. had avowed their intentions of routing tourist traffic elsewhere. This means that all routing by A. A. A. clubs is to divert all The travel away from Southern California and Southern Utah.

The charges made during the summer by the press of Southern Utah that the routings of that organization were unfair SUfe, SALtfcA, UTAH to the southern highways is now confirmed by their own officials and official statements. The Auto Club of Southern California is the largest organization of its kind in the world. It was through the efforts that the highways of Southern Utah were properly marked. This marking was opposed when the A. A. A. last December made a fruitless effort to get the southern club to join their organization. The Auto Club of Southern California has 120,000 members. At the regular fee of fifty cents per member which the A. A. A. charges for affiliated club membership the Auto Club of Southern California would net the A. A. A. about $60,000.00. So they refused to join the A. A. .A For that the club is blacklisted and Southern Utah with it. Provo Herald, OcL 3, 1926 sands of tourists are broad minded enough to not allow such an issue to come like the A. A. A. would have it. If Salt Lake and the Utah State Automobile association has anything to do in this matter and can it be? then a line of should be drawn between Utah and Salt Lake counties and the southern portion be annexed to Arizona. Far better this than to submit to the dictates of the A. A. A. officials, who tell Utahns that they must affiliate and "come across or be blacklisted. But can the personage responsible for the declaration, whether he be an easterner or an advocate for the Wendover route, World carry an influence that will detract from Utahs scenery? travelers, those who have visited the Alpines, saw the greatest and best in all parts of Europe, revelled in the beauties of Colorado, visited the Great Yellowstone National park, the Yosemite, scaled the lofty peaks of the northwest and have ridden on the great Can you beat it? To think that a bunch of eastern automobile men, classed with the American Automobile association as boosters, coming here to tell Utahns that they are going to crush and obliterate Southern Utahs gigantic garden of scenery the only real attractive spot in the western part of the United States; that they are going to make Utah just a passing point and that the Wendover highway, bills pet, is to be the outlet for western travel. Perish the thought, because it makes one "titter to heir them spiel the impossibility. The patriots of Southern Utah will not stand by and listen to the shoutings of the few maybe it is millions that Utahs wonderful scenery is to be sunken into the depths of oblivion forgotten and passed up. Utahns are too patriotic: the hundreds of thou-lakedeclare Utahs scenic wonderland superior, more attractive and grander than any. Southern Utah calls the bluff. Its citizens do not have to come across and follow the dictates of the A. A. A. officials. We have the scenery and thre are enough to back it up at least sufficiently so that it has been, is now, and will always be one of the greatest and most attractive spots on Gods great universe.
