LICENSE THE PEDDLERS
It is being urged that rion-residents
coming intos the city and peddling
their wares be made to pay license
fee for doing so. This is only proper
and fair. There are many concerns
sending agents into the city to peddle
their baked goods, meats and other
things. These people don't pay any
thing in the way of taxes for the up
keep of the city. They put nothing
into the city and get much out Of it.
This isn't fair to the local merchants
or workmen who pay taxes that the
city may function. City council
should go into this matter and fix a
stiff license for all outside peddlers
doing business within our city limits.

CARPENTERS AGAIN FIRST
The Chamber of Commerce is about
to launch a campaign of expansion
The Carpenters Local Union, as 1t
does in most all movements that il
considers good for the betterment and
progress Of the city, was the first to
respond with three subscriptions, q
contribution of seventy-five dollars
In making the contribution, Lou Nau
president of the union, said:
"We realize the benefit that the
Chamber of Commerce has been te
the city of Hamilton, and the effect il
has had upon the civic progress of the
city. In view Of the amicable rela'
tionship that we have enjoyed witf
the chamber, and as an evidence Of
our interest in the community, the
carpenters were desirous of acting
Immediately on their own initiative"
John E. Northway, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, when told Of
the action of the carpenters, was very
much pleased.
"That is real civic spirit" said
Northway. "The action Of the car.
penters as evidenced in their volun.
tary membership subscription to the
chamber is another proof that the city
is on the threshold of newer and
better era of civic development. The
carpenters have a very definite place
in the planning of the Hamilton OF
the future. The Hamilton Chamber
of Commerce will be in a more STRAIT
egic position to accomplish its great
est measure of service to Hamilton,
when it's membership represents a
cross section of the community life
of the city, and includes representa-
tives from every walk of life"
That's the proper talk. When all
classes of the city realize that they
have everything in common the city
will move along much faster in pro-
gressive way. The carpenters action
does much to bring all together in q
common cause. If we had more of it
it would soon drown out the hammer
throwers-in fact it might make horn
blowers of them.
In line with it's purpose to further
all movements for progress in the
city, the carpenters also, at its meet
ing, endorsed the Fort Hamilton Hos
pital campaign, and authorized it's
business representative, Herman H.
Perpingon, to cooperate in any way
possible with the hospital authorities
and to assist in the campaign.
