More Money Needed

| N1VAV AuVhOy NOSuSA
 "The function of chamber of com.
 merce or kindred organization is not
 altogether to seek employment and dis
 cover the necessities in the way of i'm provements in the community, but on the contrary to act upon suggestions
 offered by members and residents and
 to confirm the expedieney of action
 upon matters suggested and where found
 worthy or meritorious, to carry them
 to successful issue. You must all re-
 member that the chamber of commerce
 in itself is only nominal and that the
 work falling to it must be accomplished
 by individuals and business houses. The
 mere matter of a membership fee of a dollar month paid by seventy.five or a hundred members would just about
 furnish enough money for incidental ex. penses.
 I am satisfied that every member of this organization, in fact, every citizen of this community, will agree with me that chamber of commerce is not only desirable but necessary. We are too well advertised and" too lively and en- ergetie to be known as lacking in pub. lie spirit to the extent of not having and maintaining thoroughly wen or ganized and equipped office and facili- ties for conducting the business along broad lines, and in closing my report l want to recommend and urge that to put this chamber of commerce on bet ter footing and in position to be recog- nized by other cities as chamber of commerce, that we employ 6 permanent secretary, who will devote his entire time to the interests of the chamber of commerc in this community and that suitable offices be secured in which to carry on the business and that will en. able him to gather material for mineral and other displays; and further for the support of the organization, that the business and mercantile houses as we'll as the mining companies of the district be asked to make an annual subscrip- tion for the purpose of carrying on the work, the same to be consistent with their financial representation.
 Bright Future Ahead
 Never was the future of Globe as bright with promise as at the present time and never was there a period in her history when an organization of its citizens could accomplish more toward | her betterment and advancement. Wel believe the Globe chamber of commerce | is the foundation stone through which | this work can be best accomplished, and | would urge upon the members of this | body, as we'll as upon all public spirit | ed citizens, the importance of increas ing the membership of the organization to such a number that it may have the benefit of the best brains and energy of the community as well as sufficient | funds Tn the treasury, that the work can be carried on in manner that will be a credit and benefit to all who live in the community, and do justice to city that offers more to her people in the way of natural advantages than any other city of the southwest. Let ns take up the old cry with a renewed ylgor and say to the world Watch us 5row, and to those around us, Help us Boost -
 It was the feeling of the members present that this report, with more de- .ails regarding the securing of the flobe-Roosevelt road and the reduction n freight rates, which were secured through the chamber of commerce., 'hould be published in booklet form md distributed, not only to the mem 'ers of the chamber, but throughout the erritorg as well.
 AS the result, the report will be print d within short time and distributed generally.
 Want High School
 Professor Frank D. Smith, of the ilobe schools, suggested that the cham. Ter take up the matter of securing a | nion high school for Globe, which would serve as an educational center for he entire Globe district and be sup 'orted by the residents of the towns { to Globe, as well as by the eople of this city. This matter will probably be takenl p later for consideration. Some little dissatisfaction was ex- ressed last night, owing to the meaeer tendance at what should have been a N argely attended meeting, but it is felt hat when a paid secretary is put in ihee and the work of boosting Globe taken up in earnest, that the order 'ill have phenomenal growth and that date not far distant, the chamber ' commerce of Globe will become one the most important organizations of s kind in the territory.
