ARGUMENT OF H. GOODING FIELD
FOR UNION OF CIVIC BODIES

Following is the paper read by H.
Gooding Field before citizens gather
ed at dinner at the University Club
last night, which formed the topic
of discussion followed by action, as
elsewhere reported, respecting the
union of various civic bodies into one
large organization:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen:-Th
modern chamber of commerce, or to
use a more comprehensive term the
Peoples Forum-had it's prototype in
Cleveland, Ohio, nearly twenty-five
years ago. In number Of progress
sive communities at the present time,
such a chamber has become the ac-
tive agency by which a city builds
itself-moulds its character, shapes
its physical qualities and forms it's
social ideals. Wherever it has been
established, prosperity has invariably
followed and good government and
good public service has been secur-
ed. The secret of it's success can be
directly traced to the spirit of ac-
tive cooperation which has prompted
the better manhood of the city to
merge all it's civic organizations into
one large, vigorous and progressive
body.
The Cleveland Chamber of Com
merce was a success from the start,
and so important Shas this institution
now become that it literally guides
the course gifts community 1t stands
sponsor for any and every movement
for the betterment of the city and the
uplift of it's CITIZENS City planning,
medical inspection, infant mortality,
industrial betterment, public baths,
prevention of tuberculosis, forestry,
play grounds, milk inspection, civic
service, housing reform, supervision
of charitable organizations: all these
come within the province of the cham
Der. It's membership includes clergy
men, educators, physicians, publicists
social workers, business men, and, in
fact, earnest workers from all walks
in life. So marked has been the loyal
ty and support of it's citizens to the
undertaking and so gratifying the
tusiness-like solution of its public
problem by this body, that other cities
Boston, Detroit, San Francisco, Pitts
burg and Spokane, and many others
have adopted a similar plan for the
Capitalization of their civic effort.
These cities now have each cham
Der of commerce which is acknowl-
edged by the entire community as the
head center of civic activity, having
as the underlying motive the COM
munal welfare rather than that of any
particular interest or a group of in.
terests.
What prompted Cleveland to depart
from the traditional conservatism
which has so long been associated
with commercial bodies in general
was the belief that a chamber of com
lnerce, to be effective, should be as
wen a chamber of citizenship; tina,
it should be the strongest organiza- +
ton in the community not alone in |
the city's health but also in its intel,
ligence, and that it should take the
lead in all civic undertakings. EX
perience has long since demonstrated
the fact that such a public body is
not enough to be a clearinghouse for
industrial statistics or to be a pro-
motion agency: its energies should
he focused on everything that relates
TO make the community good-richer

PARIS, May 3O.-Colonel Hrs
chauer who has just been appointed
director of French military aviation,
is thoroughly equipped to fill that i'm
portant position and is expected to
prove a worthy successor of General
Roques. As is quite generally known
France leads all nations in the mat
ter of aviation, especially as regards
its relation to military affairs.

quite different from what we have
here.
81 propose q progressive policy
which | am certain will be fair to
everybody. We have here a majority
of voters with little or no RESPONSE
bility in the welfare of the community,
and we have a minority in voting
strength which has to shoulder in
large part this serious responsibility.
BY permitting the Fourth electoral dis
trict and the Fifth electoral district
each to select and elect three members
of the Board of Supervisors, without
interference from the other, both the
majority and the minority elements
will be equally represented, which is
not the case now under the system of
electing all of the supervisors at large.
81 would not increase the number of
supervisors, but would make the
mayor, to be elected by the six super
visors, a seventh working member of
the board"

and is ostensibly on a pleasure trip but
it is generally understood that he is
taking stock of the possibilities of the
route as it at present exists and that
he will make a report to his directors
on arrival at Dondon.
If the p. & o. and the Orient line
put lines through the canal it will
mean big things for Honolulu, for
the two companies will spare no effort
to win the trade on the Pacific and
will undoubtedly swing on to the run
some of the palatial liners that are
now engaged in the Australian trade.
In any event it win mean that Homo
lulu will be connected with European
ports by two direct lines and that it
will be port of call on two round
the world routes that will be carrying
"a large number of tourists.

HAVANA, May 2S.-Reports from
outlying districts today indicate the
government is meeting with success in
its campaign against the negro rebels.
The situation is worse now in Oriente
province, while in the others President
Gomez's troops seem to be gaining the
upper hand The president today re-
ceived letter from Gen. Estenoz, the
rebel commander-in-chief, offering to
surrender providing the government
will pledge legislation removing the
ban on negro political parties. This
offer will probably be rejected and a
counter proposal of amnesty made for
immediate capitulation. An order call
ing out half the troops in Havana for
street patrol duty caused excitement
here today. Government officials stat
ed, however, that this was an indica-
tion that the city was threatened but
was intended as an object lesson for
the negroes and for drill purposes.
