~GASPER IF PEOPLE ACK EFFORTS (Continued from eae One) ‘other man, in the chamber of commerce and in most things that go to make a better city; interest In better public ac- commodation, in better piblic Service, in ‘better schools, in every single, soti-| tary element that goes to make a really better city. I the spiritual elements, Tore especially. The material elements are there, but the spiritual element Is fendamental. ‘Another thing that T believe essen- Ual is Vision. You shave got to see ahead, and not.see this city as it in to- day, but push ahead with the vision which sees the Casper of years ahead. When you have that vision so that you are looking ahead, then you have got the spirit that will make a city, “Sixteen miles fram Rillings was’ a town. ‘There was a town, over here named Billings, sixteen miles from that Junction, and you know that cities grow! at junction points. awake and ‘progressive and got. busy and was so successful that today, the! junction towm is little hamlet of two! or three thousand people, and will never get any bigger. “We are 18,000 w 2 000 with a-Tuture, and will grow into a big o That was done, absohitety hy nothing but throngh - that spirit Which stands for co-operation, that de} ‘termination to make that. city the ier-| minal, Sat you-must have an insteu-| Mentality to make that spirit and get! together, ond that is where the-cham-| 6f commierce comes in. Ent it y lately that we have eome to con- sider the chamber of commerce. Men and business men have come to. realize! that all the citizens of a community) stand interrelated in their interests. | The chamber of commerce gives an} avenue whereby the business man might express his @esires and further his activity in ‘serving the interests of all, and co-ordinating the work —Co ordi- nating the work, co-ordinating che ex, pression of every citizen. This is the method—the means and method, where: by these things may be done whic can not by. any possibility he done by a single Individual or by. any small group) of jndividuats, i “In connection with the chambe; of | commerce, the first ‘thing which is: ini: | portant, ia the idea of membership. I see that you here have set. your. gon) for a thousand, ido not know haw that relates to the number of people who should be members. Atl men who are. in business, in tho trades, the profes: sionS are eligible to membership in the chamber of commerce, and shou'd be} A member of the chamber of commeree.} You have a wonderful opportunity here as to industrial conditions, industrica that you can bring in under this work, | and that means allAhe industrial popu: | lation. There has heen a wrong ilea regarding the. chamber of commetcc membership which has been altogetner | too prevalent. It exists in so many cities and chambers of corhmerce in America, and that is the idea that when a man joins the commercial organiza- tion, he is doing the 9g Fag and the membership a favor. breeder an phasotute duty of every citizen ing, a living in a town to do his pat thru joining the organization which is} going to do good for the town, a thing which shouldbe done, one man hene- fiting .with the other.. # say, and I say it advisedly that any man who docs not takd a membership in a chamber uf commerce which is active and witch $s doing the work in his community, is just as much a slacker to the com- munity as the fellow who tried to evade the draft during -the time Uncle Sam} needed his services. “Now, there is another side to thie business, too, and that is the question of selfishness. I ask you, housewives, where do you put the baking powder in the biscuit—inside, don't you? And yet there are a great many men work-) ing in the community who are all sweli- ed up, and their baking powder. is all on the outside. You have to put the baking” powder where it will do service, your baking powder Into the com ty organization. Have an interest lin your community, terial way, but in a spiritual way, and! your interest, your labors, will come| ik to you—to every man that does} Gnterest. himself, it will comg back to him, ‘ten times over: i But Billings was| | where every other man, that you will have a community cen- ter, thrn the chamher of commerce, | | Which ‘Will be not only a community or: | ant spiritual ce: tet as well. In-that organi- donar and a quarter for every ‘inhabi- tant. What would such a per capita Fate do for ‘Casper? “In another town, three or four men decided to raise subscriptions for their. jchamber of, commerce, and were going, to make a better town: Arrangements} were Inade, They went out and raised $8000—in ‘a town of TR00, and I believe! but for the force of personal circum- stances, they Would Have the entire) one hundred per cent of that town. ‘Now, | there is something to think about, Think of the conditions, the stzé of the place. “Now, ‘then,-you must have member-| |ship.. You must have membership and personal service. The \membership ig necessary for the organization, but the organization and the service are neces sary for the community, as an unselfish proposition. Others hay@ it as a selfish Proposition; they want things that help them; others want to put across things that need to be done by the chamber of commerce. You stand for the preserving ¢¢ our constitutional iutogrity, do you not? Phen, f inquire, why not let us stand: whole-heartediy for the city, for the chamber ot cottt If you believed it was going to’ henefit the city—wouldan’t j You, shouldn't .you, stand back of it? And yet how many men there are-who, will give you $25 and ghen do not’as- sist In this work of city organization— who do not aid, The man who is most vitally Interésted in a certain phase of the chamber of commerce work, in the! aid of a community, Which has that work in hand, yet never does a thing in cham- her of commerce work. Nothing’ is’ pos- sible in the organization of a chamber without personal service. Ih’ Montana we have a good roads committee, estab- lishing tourists good roads, and other ‘tourists projects; tourists highwat’s run: merce. | ming thru Montana have been put: on their feet and organized with districts around the entire state. These have been: established for the promotion of 2 26 million dollar bond issue. “And when you have this organization you? Weill, first of all, there is one! life worth living. I have gene into many! A small town and sat down with business men, and men Who really could | not go down the street but what they | passed each other,~and yet they around there twith their faces out, One} could easily tell they-came from a town} where there is no chamber of commerce: Contrast that situation with another | where there are no Musiness enemies, two or three hundred’ of them, in business, call each other by their first. names? They get together in‘the development of the city thereby helping themselves. “You have. protieme-hefarr you, de- veloping conditions, which mean that. ‘the workman, the man who makes a living with his hands, and every indi- vidual who works in the town, to want to help make the town, make his home in the town, where Jhis family. live. When you have that organization, and that spirit of service, you have to have one more thing, and that is the pep, the energy, the desire to have these things, I am reminded of the colored preacher in hard times. He was preachin; “Oh, Lord, bring us barrel of flour; Oh, Lord, bring us ‘a barrel of pork; Oh, Lord, bring us a barrel of. pepper—Hel Lord, that’s too much pepper.” “And now, I come to another/thought. You can make the situation in this town as you would like to. haye it. - It will take somé money, in’ addition to the personal service which it will take to build’ up a, growing city. There are ‘things which you need; one of them Your population nowy is 20,000, think the basis of your industrial and not only in a ma-| manufacturing resources is 50,000, and} |I believe -you will reach that without |fail. I can't understand how the ayer- idéa that Casper will not get any big- ger. Yet, evidently there are a great “I want to mention the plural mem: bership plan. I had never come in con- t with the American City Bureau un- with the idea of plural membership which they have. It is the only effect- Now, understand this. That the history of commereial work history of shipwreck, because it had to be worked out along experimental dines. That is the rock which chambers of commerce in other places. We have in Billings, Mont., a plan which has led to the establishment of another commercial club, composed of young men under forty’ years of age. Not a rival, in any sense ef the word, but another organization, doing the same kind of work. In this way, we bring the young men into the organiza- tion. When I-go hack there I am going to suggest that when it is possible to make a change in this way, that they put in the plural membership plan, on * hree-year basis, The history of mbers of commerce is the history of an organization which has built up and raised: large sums of money. under. the stimulus of enthusiasm and thew hak not been able in the short period of 2 few months or ‘one year to establist ‘an organization which will stand. € You haye to raise enough money to put this thing across. You. will have $25,000 raised by your membership. Let me tell you of a city of the same size commer: that has a $200,000 commercial club, a thing which your chamber. of commerce wants.
