For the Good of
 the Community

A PPROACHED by a committee during "A the Chamber of Commerce eXpan- sion campaign the local representative of big northern manufacturing concern re- fused to take out membership.
 'The policy of my company is not to join any organization in any city where it has branch office, responded the mana ger when asked to subscribe for member ship.
 This particular company makes a cer-' tain kind of machine that is in general use in Birmingham. The annual sales through the Birmingham office amount to thou sands of dollars, probably well above S100000.
 The annual dues of the Chamber of u Commerce are S25. The profit on each machine sold by this company, no doubt, exceeds that sum-
 The company takes thousands of dollars out of Birmingham every year. The Bir- rningham office is profitable one, else it would not be maintained
 If the Birmingham business were not desirable the company would not maintain a manager and an office force of several men and women here.
 If every other corporation head, or local representative of a foreign corporation or business concern, followed the same policy of this company, this company would have no need of an expensive office and office force here; Birmingham business would scarcely justify the expense of one agent and desk room in the office of somebody else.
 If Birmingham is attractive to manu- featuring concerns whose plants are To- cated in other places because of the actual or prospective business to be had here then it is the duty of that concern on establish ing local agency or branch office to iden- tify itself with the business and civic inter ests of the community. This can be done by joining the Chamber of Commerce.
 The foreign corporation, firm or individ- ual who comes among us to make money IS not doing justice to itself or the commun- ity unless it lends helping hand in the building up of the city.
 A reasonable interpretation of this rep resentatives response to the request that he take out Chamber of Commerce mem bership is: We are here to make money out of you, not to help you make money or build up the city. We have no interest in Birmingham other than to sell our prod ucts and we don't intend to contribute any thing towards the upbuilding of the city"
 The Chamber of Commerce was organ ized for the purpose of promoting Bir- ; mingham's interest; to make it better and bigger city; to aid in the building up of business for the home manufacturer and the foreigner. It now has member ship well over 2300 made up of business and professional men and women of Bir- mingham.
 There might be such thing as the mem bers of the Chamber of Commerce patron izing it's members when they are~ in the market for machinery or other supplies Nothing has occurred to indicate that such policy would be adopted, or followed if adopted, but it is not at all unreasonable to suppose that they might do that very thing.

cense regulations and the power of
the food administration to procure the
cancellation of licenses, the depart
ment of justice hopes to reach some
cases of protiteering in sugar that
would be more difficult to reach
through enforcement of the criminal
provisions of the food control act.
This position of the department was
made plain in a circular sent to dis
trict attorneys calling attention to the
fact that food administration officials
had taken the position that sugar
should not retail for more than II
cents a pound and that "where it is
retailing for more it indicates that
either the wholesaler or retailer Is
making an unreasonable profit"
Mr.. Palmer conferred with Clarence
Wilson, food administrator for the
District of Columbia, about efforts to
reduce prices in Washington. He al
so had conference with f. c. Hen
derschoot, secretary of the New York
fair price committee.
Mr.. Palmer appeared before the SEN
ate agriculture committee and explain
ed amendments to the food control act
extending antiprofiteering sections to
clothing and other necessities and pro-
viding penalties for violations of the
law.
When the committee met, senators
expressed divided opinions as to the
necessity for the legislation.

but l have been obliged to balance
one set of disadvantages against an
other and to venture a judgment as to
which were the more serious for the
country. The immediate and pressing
need Of the country is production, in
creased and increasing production, in
all lines of industry. The disorganlza-
ton and dislocation caused by the war
have told nowhere so heavily as at
the industrial centers-in manufacture
and in the many industries to which
the country and the whole world
must look to supply needs which can
not be ignored or postponed.
at is to these that the daylight say
ing law Is of most service. 1t minis

easily adjusted, | venture 10 think,

"These are considerations which
have led me to withhold my signature
from this repeal. hope that they are
considerations which will appeal to
the thoughtful Judgment of the house

judgment of the farmers of the coun-
try, who have always shown an admir-
