worse than the threat to French patriotism through

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
RANKING AND INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS.
tFrom the New York Times,

The comfortable position of the banks and the
uncomfortable conditions of trade and industry
make one of the most striking and singular con-
trass of the present extraordinary financial and IN
dustral situation. A reduction OF resources py
3,S90,269,O00 in single year surpasses an prese
dent and is the ground of some opinions that de-
flation has been too rapid. The fact that the de-
fation has\ been one of the least disastrous ever
experienced<by either trade or banks gives sign
to the contrary. No doubt the times have been try
ing as such times always are. But the record OF
insolvencies among merchants has been remarkably
small proportionately to the magnitude of the bus-
And the banks have resources when are ex'
traordinarily large. Never was there such poten-
TALLY of visible credit in world history. After de-
duction of lawful reserves against notes there are
1871 per cent of against deposits on the
method of calculation before the Federal reserve
system made excessive reserves unnecessary there
are surplus reserves of 81 $4,000, making cred
its of dozen billions theoretically possible.
On the new system of smaller reserves and more
LIQUID resources there is twenty billions of cred
unused No wonder there is pressure on the banks
to revive the old boom by the inflationary methods
which caused it,
If the brakes had not been put on when prices
were rising, there would have been no cause for use
of the acceerator on the decline. No one was more
aware of that than the Federal Reserve Board,
which has pleaded guilty of violating banking prn-
policy it pursued of causing the banks to make
themselves liquid proves that the Federal Reserve
could not prudently have done so earlier The far,
mers complained that the Federal Reserve Board
caused their losses by depressing prices. Farmers
losses would have been comparatively small II they
had taken the advice not to fight the fall
Time and again it has been published and proved
that the Federal Reserve Board did not reduce far
ners' credits Controller Crissinger did the same
thing in requiring the banks to write their assets
down TO the market. 1t was paln1ul 10 the panks,
as it was to all under similar pressure. But 1t has
saved the situation and is the basis of the strongest
hopes of revival on the lower scale.
That is far from meaning that the banks should
forthwith enlarge credits the theoretical scale OF
capacity. Superiority of resources is poor reason
for making loans. The rate for discounts does not
decline with the redscount rate because the invest
ment money market is Overlooking the commercial

AS THE PEOPLE VIEW 1T

, take the lead in developing com
mercial projects.
Too much stress has been laid
upon it's need of money instead OF
it's need of the service and CO.
operation of the citizens; and
membership and get-together
meetings are almost a forgotten
! tradition.
| 1t is easy for any person to criti-
CHE, and correspondingly hard to
construct, but I offer for what it
is worth, my opinion as to what is
required to put our Chamber OF
Commerce back as the active civic
instrument for the development of
our good city:
The quarters should be imme-
diately moved to the ground floor
| of some building in a location ac-
cessible and visible to all tourists,
and transients, and as is custom
airy there should be present there
in, vivid advertisements of the
possibilities of development in our
community, and its present ad-
vantages to homeseekers.
The Chamber of Comerce should
entirely eliminate all consideration
of ideas of enterprises that are
not essentially classed as CONNER
cial development.
The Board of Directors should
| be dem ocratized upon the one-man
one-vote principle, and the Prest-
dent be given free hand. Ny
interests are today relinquishing
five of our six votes without re-
ducing our contribution.
The operation of the Chamber
of Commerce should be divided in
to two distinct parts:
I. A Secretary whose duties
should be to attend to member
ships, financial matters, corre-
spondence, inquiries etc, and
2. A Manager, who should not
have to devote any of his time to
routine or detail work, but whose
reputation should stand or fall up
on the Chambers success in COM
| mercial or agricultural develop
ment of our community, and that
only.
The officers should lay stress
on the point that it is not money
| but work and cooperation that
they want. Not much money is
required; witness the Kiwanis In
their efforts entirely without
monetary assistance. Their sue
cess has been achieved by work
and enthusiasm, not by cash do
| nations.
It must be recognized that the
membership of the Chamber of
| Commerce is largely the same as
that of the Rotary, Kiwanis and
other organizations, and citizens
should owe their allegiance to the
| Chamber of Commerce and none
other, for commercial develop
ment, and will do so when prop
erly invited,
The reorganized Chamber should

some years ago was a disaster to
our town.
They should also do some real
practical development work. first
by Strengthening out the building
costs tangle; encouraging a spirit
of friendship and cooperation be-
tween the labor crafts, labor gem
orally and investors, operators and
pioneer developers; make a real
effort to develop the Estancia
Valley trade, nine-tenths of which
now goes to Santa Fe and which
really belongs to Albuquerque; CO.
operate with the City and County
Com missioners, to enlarge our
road systems on scale and at n
speed not heretofore considered
possible; push forward all civic
! improvements such as side walks
curbs. and cutters, etc.; get our
schools enlarged to permit people
with children to live here If they
want; build the hotel; and last but
not least, get something drained
or drown in the attempt, even If
it is only a piece of agricultural
land the size of city lot.
And while doing these real
practical things, keep away from
visionary multimillion dollar en-
terprises, that do not materialize.
Hopes deferred maketh the heart
grow sick"
1t is all right to capitalize the
climate and to spend our money
and work attracting health seek
ers to come here, but no virile
community was ever built by sick
people. What we want is COM
munity OF red-blooded two-lunge1
people who have faith in Berna-
lilo County, and are willing to
back their faith with their works.
The health seekers. question will
then take care of itself.
I expressed views similar to the
above at the time the Chamber
of Commerce was reorganized and
was told that was utterly wrong,
but am still unconvinced.
Why the hotel has not been
built. which you are also COM
menting on, is entirely another
matter, the true story of which I
may give to the public in the near

A PROGRAM FOR THE CHAM
Der OF COMMERCE.

November 4th, 1921.
To the Editor,
The Evening Herald,
City.
Dear Sir:
I have read with much interest
your recent editorials commenting
on the condition of the Albuquer
que Chamber of Commerce. l am
inclined to think that as is fire.
quently the case, both the direc-
tors and the public have either
failed to recognize the real rea-
son for the poor showing made by
the Chamber of Commerce, or
have been afraid to face the stu
alton clearly.
1 have lever held office in the
Chamber of Commerce, although
I have always been a supporter O.
it, and have regretted extremely
as would any other business man,
its failure to function properly,
and I believe that the following
is almost a correct analysis of the
situation as recognized more or
less by all persons interested in
our civic development:
It is we'll known and admitted
that for some time past no person
could be elected for the Chamber
of Commerce whose name was not
first approved by coterie of five
or six men who each had the large
number of votes. These men are
not to be criticised for such action,
as they bought and paid for their
votes in accordance with the by
laws of the Chamber Of Commerce
but the result has been disastrous.
The bylaws provide that almost
all the power is vested in the
Chairman of the Executive Com
/, mittee, and NOT in the President,
and the Presidents hands have
been unduly tied thereby, at critic
al periods when the Chamber could
have been a definite service to the
city.
The quarters now occupied by
the Chamber of Commerce are
unsuitable for the purpose, and
act as a great handicap to those
in charge. Sentimental reasons
and moral obligation to the pur-
chaser Of the building that the
Chamber of Commerce should
stay there, have doubtless pre-
vented a change being made here
tofore.
The Chamber of Commerce used
its money, offices and services in
charitable, philanthropic, and pa
triotic enterprises to the detriment
of commercial enterprise. Doubt
less their work along the former
lines has been valuable and bene-
fetal to the city, but 1t has been
done at the expense Of the Cham
Der neglecting its proper duties.
The Chamber of Commerce has
developed very successfully as an
employment, rental. and adver-

energies along these lines. it has

WHERE OH WHERE DOES
ALBUQUERQUE COME IN?
A friend describes Chicago as be-
ing Just far enough west to have
lost its snobbishness, and still far
enough east to have retained its
good manners.
THE ALTITUDE.
When you find you're nightly
sleepless,
Or you're sleeping all day long,
When you order eggs three minutes
And they're served to you all
wrong;
When your motor spits and sput-
tiers
Or your breath comes in short
pants,
Or the phone girl fails to answer
And dame ignores your glance
Blame the altitude!
II the fruit is small and scrawny
And the canned goods second
class;
II the tram you want is tardy.
Or you break a looking glass,
When you find you're growing
grouchy
And the world is all awry,
With the people In 1t, ninnies,,
And you do not know the why
Blame the altitude!
When the letter that you wanted
Doesn't come or else is late,
And a person that you fancy
Runs around with those you nate,
II a Yankee raised in northland
Pulls a nifty southern draw,
Or a southern gets all poppy.
And no longer says you ALL
Blame the altitude!
I suppose when judgment hlts US
And we're shown the pearlv
gates,
Where the sheep and goats are
parted
And we lose our old playmates,
When they file into the heavens
We will make excuses crude
AS we wend our way down yonder
To that lower altitude!
