MANAGEMENT COSTS
:, Low FOR RED CROSS
National and Division Head
quarters Take Less Than
4Per Cent of Funds.

Red Cross Roll Call-the fourth an
nual re-enlistment OF members IN the
American rganization-will be held
here November II to 25. Officers in
charge of the Roll Call for the chapter
of which this city forms part, how
ever, feel that the canvass in this
section practically can be completed
within the first week Of the time set
should the present plans for intensive
work be followed out.
In all its work preparatory to the
Roll Call the Red Cross this year, as
last, has laid stress on the point that
the movement is purely dues gather
ing activity, and not to be confused
with drives" or other campaigns.
The national body also Is laying en-
phasis on the fact that more than SO
per cent of all membership fees Sc
cured here remain in this community,
and on the low overhead" cost of
the organization.
'sWhile the Red Cross has not been
subjected to that violent criticism Of
extravaganza and wfsste which has
been attached to some activities re-
sulting from the war and its after-ef
fects," said an officer of the national
body recently, 1--WE are pleased to be
able to make public the fact that
cost at national head
quarters and in the IA divisions has
to less than 4 per cent of
the total expenditures by the organi-
small as to establish mark for many
a commercial concern to work toward,
and on it's face proves that for the
Red Cross, organization efficiency and
economy are not only ideals but
achievements"

having it repeal the Silver act of the
Harrison administration. The next day
he submitted himself to the surgeons

of his mouth. His grave physical con-
dition was concealed from the panicky
mind of the public, and the operation

til many years had passed was it

he faced it with rubber jaw.
Under the pressure of the president,
the Silver act was repealed, but only
after bitter struggle which left the
Democratic party hopelessly split. The
passage Of tariff bill divided the par
ty still more. 1t was such a lobby
made, log-rolling measure that Cleve-
land refused to sign 1t, but let it be
come law without his signature. After
that tie Democrats went down In de-
feat in the congressional elections of
1894.
In the depth of our domestic
troubles the president sent his famous
Venezuelan message to congress. In
1t he announced that the British gov
eminent had rejected all our appeals
for the arbitration of land dispute
which it was pressing in South Amer
lea, and he boldly proposed that we
ourselves should decide the question
and then proceed to enforce our de-
cisiOn.
Stocks tumbled headlong in Lon
don and New York, and there was
much wild talk on both sides of the
Atlantic. But the president confidently
treasured his troubled private secre-
tary, "Thurber, this does not mean
war; 1t means arbitration" And that
was the outcome of all the hubbub.
Cleveland's outburst of plain speaking

DISASTER RELIEF PROVES

that dollar stays in his own communi
| ty. II he has done an average amount
Of Red Cross reading he will know
| that small slice out of the other SO
cents is appropriated to disaster re-
lief
But unless he is one of the excep-
| tionally few he will not know what
disaster relief" has meant to the
world during the life of the American
| Red Cross, nor will he realize what
small slices of dollars will do if there
are enough of them.
| In the Northwestern Division, time
after time the relief organization has
met it's crisis and has stood the test.
Twice in Oregon in December of 1919
at Mosier when fire left families
destitute and again when the Marsh
field chapter cared for survivors and
recovered bodies of the dead from the
wrecked schooner "ChansIor" - the
test was met. In 1920 came the land
slide at Juneau, Alaska, and the hotel
fire at klamath Falls, Oregon. More
people learned that disaster relief"
means things in the lives of men.
In the 38 years since its incorpora-
ton up to June of 1919 the American
Red Cross had participated in 1870 dis
aster relief expeditions. 1t directed
the expenditure of approximately $12,-
100000. Before the organization had
attained it's present large membership
funds often were raised through pop
ular subscription for such large dis
asters as the Mississippi floods and
cyclones of 1882 and 1888, the Texas
famine, the Armenian massacres OF
1893 and 1894, the Martinique volcano
eruption and many others.
A list of all the Red Cross relief
work in times of fire, flood and famine
would take pages. Long before the
organization under the stress of war
and wars results had grown into the
lives of millions, disaster relief was
one of foremost activities The
Congressional Charter under which
the Red Cross has operated since 1905
sets forth as one of the chief purposes
of the organization: ito continue and
carry on a system of relief
and to apply the same in mitigating
the sufferings caused by pestilence,
famine, fires, floods and other great
national calamities."
And now, with its wonderful organ
zation OF chapters, branches and aux
liaries reaching to the farthermost
parts of the nation, its members in
structed and ready for action when
he occasion arises, Red Cross dis
lster relief has become accident in
'urance for the world.
