It is the answer to the fourth of the five questions they have met in connection with the membership drive x which will be made in the near future. The other questions are as to why Newberry should enlarge its Chamber of Commerce, what it will <lo and who will run it. The fifth, why the expanded chamber is likely to be permanent, will be answered in the next issue. How will the expanded Chamber of Commerce be financed? By membership due? of a year, pledged for three yeaio. This is the method which has been adopted and is being followed by all of the successful Chambers of Commerce in America. It is a method which has come out of years of experiments and experience. It has not yet been abandoned or modified by any Chamber of Commerce which has tested it and no single instance of failure has been charged against it. It is a perfectly sound financial plan, combining all the good features of previous methods and eliminating their bad ones. In former times some Chambers of Commerce experimented with graduated dues, charging the big corporation sometimes < $200 and letting in the small storekeeper for $2. The want of wisdom in this method is apparent. The few corporations which contributed the bulk of the Chamber's income naturally dominated its affairs. The members who con tributed little to tlie income jave little to the chamber, her of time or interest, they just kept in the background if they did not actually keep away from the chamber. Another often tried and now discredited plan was that of uniform dues of $5 or $10 fixed at this loV rate on the theory that more members would join. In Olean, N. Y., /'with dues of $1 a year, the Chamber : of Commerce was able to secure about 100 members. The dues were raised to $25 and within six months the membership had increased to more than 600 interested, active men and women, and in a year they had done some things the city had been wanting to do for 10 years. If the Newberry Chamber of Commerce is to do the things the citizens want done, it must have an adequate income. Four hundred memberships at $25 <?ach will provide the least amount it should have, for rent, light, heat, printing, stationery, expenses n/vrwyviiH/iQO !!?(] A VSJL ivui v**?v* mv?..v graphic help and the salaries of its secretary and bureau managers, its only paid officials. Every corporation and firm and every business and professional man and woman who becomes a member of the Chamber of Commerce, should regard the membership dues as properly chargeable to ".overhead" the legitimate running expenses of the busineis or office. Chamber of ComJ merce dues should be looked upon just as that portion of the taxes with ti.UIn'U o rtl+TT t'Aa r\rnriprfv WlliCil a Hi/v oaxv^uuiuu v|/ v*vj j w cause without such provision property values would disappear.

There are eligible to membership m the Newberry Chamber of Commerce a considerable number of concerns and some individuals whose interests in and responsibility to the community are so large that they should give more to the support of the Chamber of Commerce than the individual of small means. For these the plural membership is nfTorpfL suhseriDtions for from two to 100 memberships. To guard against the charge that such a subscription offers the temptation to (fominate, the plan provides that such a subscriber shall have one vote only. It or he will as>ign outright all the memberships except one to the young men and women in the concern to such other individuals, as may be selected. This brings into the Chamber of Commerce, with full membership, ' * * *' rights ana privileges, groups younger business men who in a few years will be heads of departments, partners or even owners, gaining their interest at once in the city's problems and its future, and insuring the presence of active working members when the present industrial and [ commercial leaders shall have retiree | In short, the defense, if it need | one, of the $25 membership due j plan is in the fact that it has prove j itself repeatedly to be the best p!a I for financing a Chamber of Com i merce. ^ I tut r rv\ir\i/^ r>r?*r!ilJ)D A Mrr i ii\ J-uvinu OF OUR DARLING BAB\ i I Oh, how I miss the dear little one': i smiling face.
