LOCAL C.OF C.FORMS
NEW ORGANIZATION

A small number of determined men
met in Winneva hall Tuesday night
to continue work of reorganizing the
Humboldt County Chamber of Com
merce. The spirit of the meeting
seemed to evidence desire to get
away from petty pickering, place au-
thority in the hands of proper men,
and look for results. Rules were sus-
pended and the first order of busi-
ness was election of new officers, as
follows:
c. b. Brown, president; Messrs.
Stephenson, Gilman and Bosch, vice
presidents; c. L. Robins, treasurer.
Charles Guthrie was continued as
temporary secretary, it being the in
tention to employ man for that po-
sition who can spend all or most of
his time on Chamber of Commerce
business. The president and vice
presidents, with C. L. Tobin, NJ.
Reinhart, E. S. Dyer, T. NJ. Thorsen.
J. F. Asst. J. A. Langwith and l.. G.
Campbell compose the board of direc-
tors, eleven in number. Winnemucca
men were chosen for the board of
directors at the request of those here
tofore elected as representatives in
different parts of the county, they
pointing out difficulty in getting here
to attend meetings. 1t is thought
with the new arrangement business
of the chamber can better be trans
acted and at the same time interests
Of outside towns be well protected
President Brown spoke right out in
his speech of acceptance, pointing to
he necessity for a Chamber of Com
lerce and stating he expected active
cooperation Of all members. He said
lis job will be thankless one at best
md If more support were not given
I'm in his efforts than has been the
ustom heretofore he will resign He
aid he could not and would not at
mpt to carry the load alone. He
aid he accepted under those condi-
ions alone and would not permit
criticism of honest effort His talk
was well received and expressions
since lead to belief that while opin-
ions may differ, he will have support
of sufficient number to put through
his ideas.
A committee heretofore appointed
on permanent headquarters and ways
md means was not yet ready to re-
port, owing to absence from the city
of men involved. This committee is
70 report on propositions for build
ing wherein the chamber will be per-
manently located and where outsiders
nay go at any time to secure infor-
nation. The plan now is to have
rooms comfortably furnished along
lines of a club where members may
and visitors be made well
come. Therein also regular meetings
are to be held. perhaps twice month.
The board of directors was in
structed to take up work of amending
and simplifying the bylaws. Dues
were cancelled until January ] and
the secretary instructed to collect
dues on that date and the initial fee
if same had not yet been paid. The
adjourned subject to the call
of the president, it being understood
the date would be approximately two
weeks hence, when committees will
be ready to report.

THAT THE CoUNTRYMAY KNOW
In Which the Argument That 1t Is
"Unpatriotic" for the Service
Man to Ask Compensation
Is Disposed OF
Rv lanes E. Darst.

by JAMES e. DdISC'
In discussing this matter of ade-
quate compensation for ex-service
men, opponents frequently resort to
what professional orators call "heart
appeal"
They dodge your logic by declar-
ing it is merciless. They grant you
are entitled to something to put you
somewhere near even with the man
who stayed at home and profited, but
they temper their acquiesence by
declaiming that it is "unpatriotic'
to expect the country to pay you that
to which you are entitled. They say
war is mot mere matter of dollars
and cents"
Doubtless, there are some ex-ser.
vice men who have been convinced
by such rhetoric and have become its
opponents. They declare no money
can buy their feeling of exaltation
at having served. They did their
part gladly, they say, and do not ex-
pect to be paid for having done it
They do not believe love of country
ever can have any but its own re-
ward
These sentiments are all very we'll
The man or woman who served
knows the complete satisfaction of
having given freely when the coun-
try asked. But he may have missed
the point in this compensation bust
ness. After all, it is a matter of
reasoning, not sentiment.
We will challenge the statement
that war is mot a mere matter of
dollars and cents"
Consider what the Government
did financially for the men who
served by working-not fighting.
Take the matter of environments
When sixteen were to be built it was
a hurried, frenzied job that needed
real patriotism.
Because of this need, the men in
charge of environments did not stop
to bubble over millions. They made
free-handed recommendation and.
Congress rushed them through. To
protect the contractor, the cost-plus
system was adopted. The contractor
received ten per cent profit on the
total actual cost of the work he SUI
pervised. Agreements were entered
into whereby the Government as
Sumed all costs, met the weekly pay
roll, paid for tools and handed out
sums to cover even such incidental
expenses as messing the workmen.
This system was adopted because
the men in charge believed it was
only fair to protect the interests of
contractors who were patriotic
enough to drop all other work and
rush to the aid of the Government.
AS a matter of cold fact, most of
them didn't have much work to drop.
But they were protected. All the
contractor was required to furnish
was his organization or, in some in
stances, merely his knowledge of
where to get the men to form an or
ganization. He ran no financial risk.
His profit was assured. A man with
a bank balance of ten dollars could
as easily have assumed such a con-
tract as the biggest firm in America.
Why not? He didn't have to put up
a dime and he was sure to make
money.
Further to simplify things, con-
tractors received plans and specifica-
tons that had been prepared by the
Quartermaster Department. The con-
was of the simplest nature.

cism directed at the whole handling

men a little while to readjust them
selves mentally.
Many men did not go back to their
old jobs. Perhaps they found they
had not been doing their best work,
or perhaps they simply wanted the
novelty of a change. These are the
men who have come to the attention
of the various employment agencies.
RI. A. Giffin, who is assistant direc-
torof the employment bureau for eX-
service men, supervised by the Amer
lean Legion in New York City, makes
some interestinf observations on this
class if men.
"The former service man who is
looking for a new or better job is
apt to misunderstood the conditions
that face him." says Mr.. Giffn. 81
have asked ex-service men what
wartime experience has especially
fitted you for civilian employment?
A great number answered that they
had been taught that conscientious
hard work had won rapid promotion.
"The pathetic part of this is that
business advancement usually de-
ponds on the death or removal of the
man ahead or on an expansion of the
business. Normal business expan-
sion never is sufficient to make
places for all men of ability.
"But in war the abnormal eXpan-
sion gave the opportunity to men to
prove themselves. Some of these men
forget this economic fact and believe
that wartime success was entirely
due to their own efforts. These men
think they are not appreciated now
because their advancement, in the
nature of things, cannot be so rapid.
These men do not deserve criti-
cism but sympathy. They have
proved they have the stuff for bigger
things, but there are not enough OPP
portunities to go around. Naturally,
they lose in mental efficiency until
they make the readjustment.
Certainly the man who comes back
from service to civil life is at dis
advantage. Take the case of the
mental worker. 1t is admitted that
salaries in this class of work have
not kept pace with advancing living
costs. The man who lost two years of
promotion in his line has to return
to 1920 existence on a 1917 salary.
Had he stayed at his desk, conditions
would have assured him a promotion
so that his salary now would be at
least nearer commensurate with the
cost of existing.
"Then, the boy who left school to
fight has lost his education. The man
who planned to go through college
must give up that hope and compete
with men who stayed at home and
actually went through; or he may go
ahead with his education and post
pone his entry into business by sew
eral more years.
professional men find their Glen
tele has disappeared in their absence.
A great many lawyers, doctors and
engineers have to start all over again.
"Such men as purchasing agents,
traffic managers and sales managers
find that their absence has put hole
in their knowledge of conditions.
They are almost hopelessly behind
the times. Stenographers, machinists,
and persons who depend on skill
found it required several months to
bring them back to former stand
ards"

of the Knights of Columbus Commit
tee on War Activities, has found
