CHAMBER OF CIMMERCE
NEEDS HELP OF CITIZENS

The annual meeting of the Cham.
Der Of Commerce VII be held tonight
at the Saratoga Hotel. Ifficers will
be elected, reports of various commit.
tees will be made and plans discussed
for activities for the coming fiscal
year.
1t is highly important that business
men generally lend their presence al
this meeting and enter into the spirit
of the organization which is capable
of doing so much good for Palatka.
II is the agency through which all
the community activities should be d.
rected It is more important than the
city council in its general effect upon
the city, for it is the fountain and
source of local sentiment in compo-
site expression.
During the last eight months the
Chamber has been funetioning as po-
tently as could be expected on the
limited financial support accorded it.
The revenue has hardly been suffi-
cient to meet current expenses, and
one of the leading business houses of
the city which signed pledge to sup
port the Chamber during the next
twelve months fatty refused to meet
its payments because it did not think
the Chamber had been active enough
in directing new businss to its doors.
During the next twelve months ma
ny matters Of vital Importance to Pa
latka and Putnam county will have to
be looked after by the local CONNER
cial organization The capital reno
val fight, the planning of campaign
to meet the Inauguration of the fourth
section order on freight rates, devel-
Opment of river traffic, road bonding
and building, location Of several new
industries which are now negotiating
for sites, proper advertising of the
city and all Of the functions incident
to live commercial body. ,s
1t is equally important that bust
ness men who are most interested in
the city's advancement accept office
when elected to it, for the success of |
the Chamber very largely depends on
the personnel Of its officers.

Der that they will be required to file
their notices of candidacy with the
proper officers at least twenty days
previous to the primary, depending
upon the office they seek. They must
also, at the proper time, file a state
ment of their expenses. A failure to
do either of these things will pre-
vent their names from going on the
ballot. A final statement of ex-
penses must be filed Immediately aft
er the election, whether the candidate
is successful or not.
Apparently, there will be no occa-
sion for any warm contest in this
county this time. Present holders of
the seat in the lower house of con-
gress and in the house of represent
atives in the state legislature, are
the only ones who seem to have any
opposition.
No one has been suggested as a
candidate against Senator Trammell
or against any one of the three can
didates for the supreme court, and
the people will be just as well salts
fled if they are this year deprived of
the usual primary struggle andX Incl

CBy Assoeistea Pkess,

Washington, April 24.-The Grid.
IRON club took the approaching polit.
lcal campaign for the theme of the
frolic at it sannual spring dinner
Saturday night and for three hun
dred-odd distinguished guests pro-
vided fun at the expense of public
men and affairs.
President Harding, Vice President
Coolidge, all the members Of the cab
met, Speaker Gillett, many members
of both houses of congress, the dip
lomatic corps, owners and editors Of
newspapers and many other promi-
nent men in business, financial and
professional life sat at the guest
tables and"enjoyed the fun.
When the dinner bell rang in old
fashioned style, President Harding,
escorted by James P. Hornaday, the
new president of the club, and Wash
ington correspondent Of The Indian
apolis News, led the procession into
the banquet hall.
Former Judge Lands was intro
duced with an appropriate parody on
an old song, "Take Me Out to the
Ball Came" Judge Lands explain
ed that a contrivance around his neck
was a hot water bottle which he al
ways carried for use Gin case the
fellows who are paying me my salary
get cold feet"
Between each course of the menu
a one-minute skit was presented.
One of these was the discovery of an
explosive bomb, which, when opened,
proved to be the bonus bill. Another
centered upon George Harvey, am
bassador to Great Britain, imperson-
ated by club member, who de-
manded an opportunity to make a
speech.

ENTITLED TO CREDIT

President Harding is entitled to credit for his
efforts 10 introduce economies in the various gov
ernmental departments. The budget system APP
pears TO be working well, and, according 10 Gen
eral Dawes, whose spectacular flow of language
Is still unchecked, he has brow-beaten even the
naval authorities into a reluctant attitude of
economy.
Thee is room fer gigantic reforms in the whole
matter Ct public expenditures. AS matter of
common honesty, nc public officer should approve
an expense by the government which he would not
scpicve for his own private corporation, or for
himself, under similar conditions The government
Is trustee for the public in all the immense sums
which pass through its hands; and it is reflection
upon cur capacity for self~govemment that it has
not lorg since been held to a much stricter ac-
ccun,ability.
The public pays" is the traditional excuse for
all sorts Ct extravaganza, and the amazing thing
about il is that the public just smiles when it hears
this excuse. If MIR. Harding could establish
system CT accounting and an official sense of re-
sponsibiiiiy which would give the taxpayers full
value for the money that is taken fron them, lie
would thus supply better basis for his fame than
is likely to be found in any of the numerous
treaties ground cut by the armament conference.
