City Business Men Show Interest il
Forward Movement

The Wilmington Forward move
ment started by the Chamber Of
Commerce is taking hold Of the
business and professional men OF
Wilmington In way that is caus-
ing the widest enthusiasm.
Unlike many of the attempts to
bring the elements of progress to-
gether In the past, this movement
is founded on principles that are
fundamentally right That this
fact Is being recognized Is shown
by the remarkable manner In
which men In all lines of business
and professions are enlisting them
selves In the movement for per-
sonal service.
The Chamber OF Commerce in
this movement Is endeavoring TO
make itself truly representative OF
the entire business life OF VIII

of successful organizations else
where have shown that this Is a
fundamental necessity.

est interest Is being shown in the
framing Of these platforms and
every item is planned for the well

Il was further learned from in
yestigation that besides wide
membership and wide personal SER
vice Il takes money to do the great
work of advss cling city's well
fare and prosperity The money
will be secured by securing large
membership. and ia order that the
man of small means will not think
that he is paying more than his
share, men will be asked to take
memberships IN proportion to
their investments In Wilmington
and In proportion to the benefits
they will derive.
These are fundamental principles
of successful commercial organiz-
alton practice. and they are being
adopted here to give Wilmington
the kind of a Chamber of Com

The taxation of incomes and bonds
and investments also was urged for
a place in the platform, and some
other tentative planks under consider
alton were to endorse the neutrality
policy OF President Wilson, protesting
against the Democratic method OF re-

lines, protesting against the payment
