penses' begin to climb from those fig ures. The service fund will be sub scribed by the larger interests and in dividuals whose investments in the community are such that they will be recipients of greater nenefits than the port the chamber of commerce in pro portion to their investments.
 The modern chamber of commerce must maintain suitable quarters; that means rent to pay. It must have eff ficient management; this means the high salary of an efficient and capable secretary. In such city as Phoenix the chamber of commerce should have one or more bureaus tC give special service to the members and the citizens this involves the employ ment of men of ability. It must have an office system; this means clerical
 and stenographic assistance. There are other items of expense, every one of them legitimate and necessary, which amount to a considerable sum each year.
 Uniformity of dues needs no argu- ment The relatioHS of the small store
 keeper and the representatives of the larger interests in the modern civic commercial organization have been ac-
 curately defined. Each becomes a
 member with equal obligations and equal rights; each has but one vote. The three year guarantee is an- other outgrowth of experience. 4 | chamber of commerce can do much in
 one year but a program of work that covers three wears is vastly better than
 a one-year affair. To make it poss- i iole, though, the directors must know what the income is going to be. The
 one-year plan is universally unsatisfac- | tory; the three-year plan is universally E ! satisfactory; the three year plan has
 never yet been abandoned where tried

Some point between Greenwich ohserva-

Given favorable s,qiit tontlitions, ii
has been found that s+rnafs from the

be received in Australia as well as at

being tested. The cooperation Of Tie
