It has been a siiriple method of laising finances for the chamber and the member­ ship and community at large have accepted it as the most feasible means without giving much consideration to other and possibly more effective methods. Since it appears certain that the legislature will do away with the regulation calling for registration of out-of-state cars it is essential, if the chamber of com­ merce is to carry on in an effective manner, that money for that purpose come from a regular source. There! seems to be but one avenue remaining and that is for direct assessment on the membership. Studies made by other chambers of commerce have brought to light the fact that while their clerical forces were busy registering out-of-state cars, other end more important work was being neglected. To that extent, fees acquired through registration were more than | offset in loss of accomplishment for community better-1 ment. This fact was brought to light through the visit of Earl C. Reynolds, Klamath county chamber of commerce executive secretary for many years, who i tures of Mexico on the balopticon has had ample opportunity to give the registration NEWS FROM machine We saw one of the most angle an intelligent test.
