, Schmidt Explains Work
The meeting jru opened with a
speech by Frederick W. Schmidt who
told of the work of the state cham
ber and how it would help Salem.
He pointed out that Washington and
California were, constantly, securing
appropriations and other favors that
were denied Ogon simply becaus
Oregon was not 'Acting in a concerted
effective manner.
Mr. Schmidt' took up the objection
that the state chamber of commerce
w4b a move whereby- Portland with
50.000 members would control tbe
tate. He said that Portland with
50.000 members had only five dele
gates while other communities were
allowed one to each onehundred
members. The constitution, how
ever, he said, forbids any city ha via r
more than five and this prevent
Portland from dominating the organ
ization. On the board of directors.

from Portland and .seven from the
remainder of the state. ' . ,
The objection that , Portland . f
'hogging7 the meeting . place head-
auarters of the chamber was refuted
by Mr. Schmidt who said that the!
Yitla was IuIkmh Silcm n4 Pnr4

chosen as being tbe most convenient
for all concerned.
Portland Is Generoaii
Mr. Schmidt braised the generosity
of the Portland members In agree
ing to raise $50,000 of the budget Jf
the remainder of the state would
raise a like, amount. He declared
that there has been no disposition a'
any time pn the part of Portland
men to take advantage of their num
bers. . ...
Robert C. Paulus declared that
the. number of committee chairman
ships given Salem by the state or
ganization had made him feel proud
and he would consider it an un
worthy thing if this city did not
ralae Its quota of members.
F. G. Deckebach dwelt upon the
vast resources of Salem and Marlon
county and : said he regretted that
Salem peonle as a whole were slow In
realizing the bounty with which they
were surrounded. He said that prac

He predicted a brilliant future and
urged that it be obtained tnrougn

Charles. Archerd urged putting
