MAUI Vi "THE PUBLIC THINK er with different living, wage and
. . i social conditions.
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.

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.

The retail dealers in a Michi
gan city opposed the purchase of
a down-at-the-heel daily paper by
the proprietor of its prosperous
afternoon competitor. "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

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.
