of commerce you can command no one' you must all work together. The req son why so many organizations of this type have failed is because of lack or a definite programme, lack Of workers and lack of spiritual background. The thought of self-gan is uppermost in the minds of the members Another is the spirit of factory grabbing, that is, the paying of bonuses to get factories to come to your city. If your city is all right you cannot keep the manufacturers out. Good sanitation, good houses and good transportation will do more to get these factories to your city than all the | bonuses you could raise through the chamber of commerce, and live civic organization can see that there is good | sanitation and good housing facilities 1 and good transportation.
 Every member of the chamber of com merce should have a vital interest in the organization, should have a say in all elections of officers. Our plan does this In eIecting a board of directors we send out list with the name of every
 member on it. Everyone votes for the directors. say there are 10 be twelve dic
 rectors, everyone checks off twelve
 names on his list. When the lists are returned the twentyfour having the highest number of votes are placed on another list and sent back to the mem
  rectors. This gives everyone a chance 10 participate in the choosing of the Ofti- cers and insures the choice of the best
 men for the board.
 Then regarding a definite programme of work. We take the members in
 groups of 15 to 20, have meetings and
 discussions on what they would like to
 see done. The questions that come ur
 most frequently in these discussions are
 put down and eventually worked into
 the programme for work. There are al
 ways things that the citizen wants to
 see done in his town and through this way he brings it before his chamber oi commerce in a purely non-partisan way
 and it is discussed before it becomes 8
 partisan question.
 As 10 dues some may think that s2; a year is a large amount, but if you have SC dues you have a s6 organiza , tion. but if you have S25 dues you have a s25 organization.
 The plural membership system. the al
 lowing of an employer to purchase a' many memberships as he pleases is verl broadening for it brings his employe in
 to contact with broad minded men To have a good organization we mus have for fundamental principles: first the spirit of enterprise the keeping O the young men in your town; second D the spirit of service. doing for the com munity rather than for self the spiri of cooperation. the working together fo one definite purpose; fourth. the spiri n of appreciation, the giving of credit fo T those who try to give the best that is i Q | them.
 l. With these principles in mind an or F saniza tion cannot fail 10 do good and b n a great asset and factor to any commit r nity.
 is After Mir. Crosby's talk the meetin e adjourned with new thought an '- bright outlook for the future of th ' chamber of commerce.
