the complexity and scope of the rela-
tion OF government to business actiY-
ity requires an Immediate method of
accomplished only by the mainte-
nance Of Washington offices. Gov
ernment officials constantly find 1t
advisable to consult business organi-
cations and this is more readily ac-
complished when accredited represen-
tation is instantly available. The
maintenance of such offices aids in
the effective accomplishment of the
work of government in dealing with
industry and of industry in dealing
with the government.
Manufacturers pay about three
fourths of all federal taxes. They
are fundamentally interested in eff
cient an defective government and
must of necessity be ready to re-
cient and effective government and
suggestions on the many problems of
government which directly affect the
successful conduct of American in
dustry.
The National Industrial Council
Industrial Defense) is the "organiza-
tion" side Of the National Association
of Manufacturers. 1t is a federation
Of over 800 associations of manufac-
turers and employers. both local,
state and national in character, who
are affiliated with it. On national
matters it is the recognized medium
for expression of the voice Of Ameri-
can industry, particularly as regards
legislation.
Southern Commercial Congress.
The Southern Commercial Congress
was organized in 1887 in Augusta. Ga.
and continued holding annual conven-
tions until 1860. The Congress was
reorganized in Washington in 1908
and incorporated under the laws of
the District of Columbia In 1911. The
headquarters were established in
washington in order that the south
might, through business organization,
return to the Federal Capital with a
program of constructive statesman
ship.
TWO objects were decided upon,
namely, to have the south know it
self; and, second. to have the south
known. The nrst has been an inter
probation of resources, and the second
has been q campaign to sweep out
of the minds of the people of the
country their misconceptions con-

w Y ASHINGTON has developed
N into the business capital of
" W the country even as it is the
legislative, executive and
judicial capital. This has come to pass
as a result of the federal govern
ment's increasing activity along many
and varied lines Affecting business
many of which have proved very
helpful TO industry, both IN the az
stract and concrete. 1t mas resui'eu
also from the fact that Washington
beinn the seat of government, has be
come a world center, where business
leaders or their agents can conner
most conveniently with representa-
tive business men from other lahos'
The fact that Washington Is the
business capital is VlsualIZed III for
erection of a national home mere LOT
American business. as represented pS
the Chamber of Commerce OF the
United States, which has member
ship of some 1.400 business organlza-
tions, located in every part or tne
country and these federated orGanl-
cations have an underlying member
shin of nearly 100000 of the countryS
leading business men. This new nome
will be the business capital OF tne
fronting the White House. 1t is be-
ing built at a cost of about two and
a half million dollars, contributed III
sums large and small by business
men in every state in the Union. II
will be ready for occupancy in the
spring.
Other Headquarters Here.
And just as the various DEPART
ments. bureaus. commissions and
boards of the federal government
have grown up in the Natlonai
Capital even so the business capltal
finds American business and industry
not only headed up in the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States, but
each particular industry and trade
association has established national
headquarters or other important OF
fees here. This has been done not
only because they recognized 1t was
to the financial advantage of their
trade association and the individual
members to maintain such offices at
the seat of government, but because
as patriotic citizens they realized that
organized business can be very help-
full to the national government.
So business has established its
capital here because it wants to help
its government as we'll as it wants
the government to help it-in the
highest order of mutually advantageous
CO-Operati ion.
AS pointed out by Julius H. Barnes,
president of the national chamber,
''the idea back of this new building
is to establish a national home for
commerce and industry in the seat of
national legislation and administra-
tion. The policies of the government
affect industry today as never before.
Industry recognizes that on the large
scale of modern business a proper
measure of regulation in the public
interest may be necessary in the very
preservation of fair play between in
divtduals But industry also recog-
n!zes tnat the chain of economic evils
which flow from unwise legislation
and unenlightened administration
reaches inevitably into unemployment
and distress in every home.

To Stimuiate Enterprise.
AS fair.minded men seeking to

work cut the proper relation of gov
ernrsaert and industry. a relation
which shall encourage and stimulate
rather than depress and stifie enter
prise, we want contact with fair
minded men who write our laws and
who administer them, believing that
accurate and exact information col
Iected in all the channels OF trade
and focused through the national
chamber will be welcomed
This home for business means
much to the small business man, as
it will provide him the contacts with
other men familiar with the require
ments of industrial production, dis
tribution, transportation, finance, in
suranCe, foreignN trade and other
fundamentals of business. -----.-
We hope in its exterior appearance
this building will typify the dignity
snd stability of American industry.
We hope in its interior atmosphere
it will exemplify the se!f-respect and
fair play of competitive industry.

was Crea ted. a little more than ten
years ago. there was a very real need
for an organization that could obtain
ness on great public questions. That
IS the function the chamber has un-
dertaken to fulfill Since it came
into being government officials, as
well as leading business men, have
come to realize the advantage of
having a central organization rep
resenting business which can furnish
information needed in the formulation
of laws and regulations affecting
business.
In its referendum system. the ma
tional chamber has found a means
of obtaining Il ConCensuS of business
opinion. In its use for getting a con-
crete expression of opinion, and as
an education document to aid in ar
irving at n just decision the referen-
dunn is unique. The strength of the
national chamber lies in this plan
of obtaining the mandate of its mem
berahip. Even the board of directors
cannot commit the chamber in advo-

The business organizations within its
membership control its policies and

Equity in Business.
The purpose of the chamber. as set
forth in the bylaws is to encourage
trade and commercial intercourse
among the states and with foreign
nations, and to promote cooperation
among business organizations. 1t
aims to obtain uniformity and equity
in business usages and laws, and to
secure proper consideration and con-
centration of opinion upon questions
affecting business and civic interests
of the country at large.
Aside from what it is accomplish
ing as a medium for giving national
expression to business opinion. the

Washington, is giving 20 its men,

WHY NOT GIVE The

THEY DESERVE

If you are sending your casl

have no boast coming. 1t is q

you. but in spite of you.
This community is made up
OF individuals and prosperity de-
pends on individuals.
We have lived here for over
forty years and still have not
learned this lesson of patroni.
zing home industries and insti-
tutions.
Over So, 900 leaves the town
of Snowflake alone, to say moth

Why not keep this money at
home and build up our own
country.
Ii this money we send away
every month could be kept at
home employment and prosper

can exist at present.
The big mill at Cooley which
furnishes employment for hun
dreds of men, and furnishes us
with a ready market for our

and last but not least, the Apa-

country and make this bigger
