Members of Chamber of Commerce
who are in arrears for dues should
pay promptly when called upon to
do so, as it is as just an obligation
as any can be. The Chamber, as q
body, made certain guarantees, and
the only way they can be met is by
using the income from dues. Those
who do not feel interest enough in
the work should resign, which can
only be done by becoming square on
the books. In most cases it is Ger
tainly carelessness that the dues
have not been paid, but upon notif-
cation the obligations should be
promptly met.
