CHICAGO THE CONVENTION CITY,

Chicago as the ideal convention
city profits from the fact because
Chicago business men were gamers
to the extent Of 61.000,000 as a result
Of the conventions held here, In 1912.
according to a statement made by
Howard Citing, newly elected presi.
dent of the Chicago Association OF
Commerce. in his inaugural address
today in the Hotel LaSalle. Mr.. Citing
declared that the local committee OF
the association shared largely In bring.
ing 1.924,OOO convention visitors to
Chicago and that for 1913 nearly zoo
conventions have already been booked
with the association.
Mr.. Elting's address was given at
the annual luncheon Of the association
in the banquet hall on the nineteenth

ems.
General reasurer-Joseph r. Noel
Mr.. Citing declared that the erec
ton OF an Association OF Commerce
building was one of the projects whicl
the new administration would pusl
actively in 1913. He added that TIL
should not be done, however, until TN
association had aided the city to Pre-
cure from the state legislature power
which will give it the right to sell
government.
"a broadening charter is dir
necessity II we are to come into on
own as a first class city and not ira
along masqueradng in the CASTOR ga
ments OF country village" said M
Citing,
ut Is imperative that Chicago
charter should be so broadened o
more adequately to fit its particuls
needs, as distinguished from the pa
ticular local needs Of the smallt
cities of the state, all OF which no
have the same charter limitations.
general the charter should provit
that the city may legislate for, ma
age and control those matters whit
are local and peculiar to Chicago ar
with which the remainder Of the sta

Several OF the Aldermen have ex.
pressed wonderment that the big Tele-
phone Trust. which Is fighting so
hard to maintain high rates, does not
adopt the automatic system which has
lowered rates and given satisfaction
wherever tried.
One alderman asserts that 1t is pos
sible to supply local telephone service
In cities at two cents per call. plus
rental charge SO low that every
household could have service.
This would help the company's long
distance business.
Over capitalization and antique
methods are what make telephone
service between cities far removed
so high as to be prohibitive.
II the Council abolishes the fiat
telephone rate for the reason that the
telephone trust asks It to abolish II,
then the Council should order the
company to give q rebate Of two cents
upon every five-cent call. The tele-
phone trust complains that fiat rate
phones increase It's burden 25 per
cent. That users Of Nat rate phones
only pay one and half cents call.
