Very few towns or cities would agree today to remain just us they are until 1925. Streets will he paved, lighted, cleaned and regulated better in 1H25 than now; schools will more nearly meet the needs of real life; fac tories will grow; population will multiply; and citizens will learn, in Increasing numbers, that busi ness exists because there are hu man wants that must he served. lu any normal American city Eomo of these changes will take place whether anybody conscious ly looks after the public interest or not. The upward push of en terprising individuals will achieve some general advance. But, If there is to he progress without discouraging delays, the uctive business men of the city must or ganize TU-MAKE THE1 PUBLIC THINK. This cily In l2.ri will look and bo what the average business man of today wishes. Mind you, the city will not mak ! the progress (hat oiio or two hroad-visioned men can imagine. Kar-sighted leaders are held bark by the In difference and iKiioiaiiii' of In dividuals who can't see. A city Is like a fleet of warships the pro gress of the entire fleet is re stricted to the speed of tho slow est monitor. So it Is necessary for the men who want progress who want to seo the prosperity and conveniences of 11125 brought into usu us early as possible ill Mend of as late as possible to organize to the end that "the slow est monitor" may be speeded up and the whole community carried forward. In more than twenty-five hun dred Amorican towns and cities Hie business and professional men have banded themselves together in a more or less Intelligent effort to ascertain what things will ad vantage tho community, and, hav ing fixed upon the things worth while, to seek and strive for them unitedly. Koine of these community or ganizations have been in exist ence for periods ranging from three to fifteen years. Every one has depended upon the support of the most intelligent business and professional men lu each commu nity. Critics of such organizations who are fond of alleging that "nothing ever comes of them" should pause long enough to re flect that serious-minded ami In telligent men don't support worth less local organizations year after yeir. Even the most violent fault-finder must recognize that chambers of commerce have lived through the trial of years in hun dreds of places and under the iiue.tioning eyes of hundreds of thousands of clear-seeing men. There must be a h.rge kernel of virtue in the chamber of com merce idea to stand this test. Chambers of Commerce are still regarded hy the general public as primarily factory-grubbing Insti tutions. This notion is a herit age of the past and is today al most wholly wrong. Bonus-giv. ing as the chief mai.'iiet for at tracting factories is pretty nearly over. Sorry experience has t."ii;ht cities that buying a fac tory Is not n.es,arily ki-i4iik a faitory; a honus-net-king plant Is too often bended in the direction away from permanent mirccsj. aed a chamber of commerce that poks i!s factories thiouch the use ol arliti.nl inducements in rouil ing trouble. The folly of bonuses would have appealed mml, sooner if men nr, no i iMslly misled with surfece up pea ran tea of communi ty prosperity. "Che us more payrolls," say the majority of business men. "and the future will take care of it.-tlf." But actually fetting more jia)r0ig M v,.ry involved undertaking for a com munity and the eiiHTp-iice of one city must b studied rery care lully before applying it to mioiIi- , .Editor RATES BY MAIL United State Leaders in the modern cham ber of commerce field have learned that industrial development re quires a readjustment of every. us pect of city life. The supply of labor, the housing of workers, the rents of land, the education of children in the useful arts, the btuiiulution of thrift, the develop ment of public recreation, the Americanization of the foreign la borer, efficiency engineering and a host of other human factors vi tally affect the permanency of in dustry. And none of these mat ters can be handled adequately without a community organiza tion that is broad-gauged and open minded, if all these affairs are left to individual iniative they will be given the minimum intelligent attention so far as the entire com munity is concerned. It is becoming Increasingly ap parent, with the pausing of year, that environment sets bounds to industrial as well as mercantile and professional prosperity; but it is also certain that mere physi cal surroundings are not the sum total of "environment." The pro pelling force in all progress is the human element. When this fact is recognized the necessity for ((immunity team work Is so ap parent that argument is a nui sance. (To be continued tomorrow.) A chamber of commerce is a chamber of citizenship. Its pri mary function is TO MAKE THE PUBLIC THINK. When the pub lic begins to think, the first step toward business prosperity bus been taken. There are a group of meu in the commercial-civic organization field who still preach the doc trine that individual prosperity is the soil out of which grows civic advance. They should know bet tor, because the means of proving the absolute interrelation of good business and good civicB has been in front of their eyes for ten years. If the public is to begin think ing aright about its own future, this fundamental fact must be kept clearly to tho front: nil prop erty value, all liutiiicM values and nil professional values Hint cxlnt in any city are made by Hie Sillt Of it (ill.lIH. And the convene is equally true: Whatever polt-iil Ll value, are alwnl hum a given commu nity are iuisiiiK becauxe. the Spirit of Hint oiimiiiiiilly has nev er prompted effort to procure or develop (belli. Spirit, according to Webster, means "Vigor of intellect, tem per, disposition of mind, senti ment, desiie, terception, anima tion." In short, SPIKIT is the propulsive element in mankind, and it is the unfolding of Spirit in a community that attracts and develops the kind of men that build empires and rulo states. Values of all '-oris business, real estate, professional, mercantile, artistic arise when a community or group evince the "disposition of mind" and the "vigor of intel lect" that is constantly reaching into the future for what it may bring. It iiTquite clear that the expan sion of business may come in only three ways: (11 lly multiplying the num i her of people who buy in a certain market, or (2) Hy Incrwsing the wuntN of the same number of people, or ' (3 J Hy u combination of Hie i two forer.oing eonili- Hons. Yon will perceive, in a flash. 1 the rrticlity of the thinking of the commercial prophet who cries for "more payrolls and more people" as the only ro:id to community prosperity, when the fact is that ; the eMiiM,,n of business in th world for the Lrt half-century ha conic chiefly by multiplying the " of the normal pouplatlon j T1' ni're Increase In population ..12.00 ,. 1.2 ,. .76 .12.62 would not account for one-tenth of the Increase of business. The modern chamber of com merce or community organization must predicate its long-term pro gram of work on the great truth that "Iteiil business progress comes from an intelligent en deavor to steadily raise the plane of living." It is spiritual advance au increase in enterprise, In re sourcefulness, in inventiveness, in courage that brings economic prosperity. The organizaiton which begins at tho other end of the matter and expects to de velop resourcefulness and vision after the community has become very prosperous will reup a bit ter disappointment for its follow ers. Economic prosperity is an excellent and a comfortable thing, hut you can't achieve it by cheap, superficial or childish community thinking. Nearly every city, large or small, has a group of business men who insistently cry for "more factories," but who are un willing to give thought to the reasons th.it undorly such growth. Frequently these men occupy dominant positions in the busi ness and political clrclo. If they are to remain as community loaders they must grasp the fun damentals underlying community growth. In Germany before the war, Education and Industry were linked together in tho closest bonds. Her vocational schools showed the world that it is the trained man In shop or factory who produces the most of tjw best work, with the least expendi ture or energy anil time. Indus trial efficiency Is a matter of trained minds and trained hands. It does not come by "pitying bo nuses to factories" or by noisily demanding "that somebody get busy and bring some more pay rolls to Ashland." Before a community will tackle the task of linking Education with Industry and Business, tliere must be an organized group ' of men who can lead In that directou and who have thought out the prob lem so that their leadership will be sagacious. American manu facturers are, rapidly turning to the schools for the future supply of trained shop men. But "until the manufacturer mid the educa tor ure brought into direct per sonal contract through ii commu nity organization, neither can hnve an adequate conception of Hi requirements of tho other. Just as Education must be yoked up with tho everyday life of the ordinary man, if broad community piosperity is to be ntt::ined, so business men must be taught that their interests iuv so completely interwoven that disaster to one means loss to all. Not many years ago the banks of Chicago were so jealous of one another that a customer could pyramid his loans right anion,? the banks of bis own city with out tho slightest danger of dis covery. Finally the Walsh fail ure with its enormous losses jarred the banks into ro-opera-ation. The panic of 1907 taught the banks in many cities that the preservation of community cred its required team work. The old notions of individualism, with the blunders and losses entailed, had to be abandoned.

"Why." said some of the merchants, "if B gels lrold of that other pa per he will have dictatorial pow er in fixing advertising rates for the whole city." But the deal wont through in suite of the op position and wile a a year the rates were raise.!. 'i'lien crime the astonishing ic..:..iinii. The merchants did not grumble at the higher rales because the expert management that coiuo Into au thority with Hie old paper in creased its circulation, improved its editorial quality and made it a valuable advertising medium instead of the apology it had been. The merchants learned that their own prosperity was couuected with the prosperity of the news papers and that tho addition of brains, energy and vision to a home paper reacted favorably on retail trade. The dependence of the real estate owner upon tho community spirit is so apparent that it needs no proof. He may bo slow in acknowledging the debt to the coin in unity, but that only empha sizes the needs of a citizens' or ganization to bring him into line with his follows. Tim perma nent Value of city real estate is mailt) by the community not by t lie owner. Every enterprising man in the city is directly or in directly enhancing tho value of real estate.

The wise landowner is he who encourages or induces enterprise among his fellow citizens. To sum up: It is worth the while of n manufacturer or a re lator or a bunker or a landowner or a professional man to maintain u community organization tliul will lead the entire public to an alyze the essence of prosperity and progress. Twenty-five hun dred communities have tried the experiment and proven Its value. It is little short of blind folly to refuse to see the means that other successful men employ for their advancement. The Chamber of ComiiK'rco or community organi zation (under whatever name it may use) is tha only city-wide association that is non-partisan, non-sectarian, and able to com mand the time, the energy and the money of the business and professional clashes. It is the only agency that can essay to leach co-operation to aggressive, successful u lid mature men. And true co-operation Is not merely "givln:,"." It is giving in a way that enables others to work with jou in the accomplishment of n common purpose. (To be continued.)
