The trus- tees set out to procure $100,000 from the biggest business concerns in Seattle; their persistent solicitation brought in only $88,000. Other com- mittees, including 250 members, made a drive among the smaller business houses for $119,000, and their days of hard work netted just $34,000! The chamber’s one other source of revenue is membership dues; and the membership situation today is highly disappointing. These are not pleasant facts to record. r But they are FACTS. Seattle must face them. Ranh Unter Now, as a means of meeting the criti- ate ae Per cal situation, the officers propose to dis- E. H. Hateh.. miss a large proportion of the salaried =‘ Worrall Wilson staff and greatly curtail the chamber’s activities. That is exactly what the chamber ought NOT to do. This is no time for slackening down in constructive work. This is no time to stop advancing Seattle's commercial in- terests. This is a time to go ahead, to 0. community team-work, to revive ‘the old-time Seattle spirit, to ‘don the seven- league boots of progress. And that, The Star feels today, makes necessary a reorganization of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce.

Last winter the chamber lost the con- fidence of people at large in this com- munity when it allowed itself to be used in opposition to the public interests, when it tried to block the plan of port development and turn the immensely valuable U. S. shipping board site into private hands for private exploitation. Then, in face of the rising tide of dis- satisfaction, as it continued its efforts in the spring election to undermine the Port of Seattle and hamper its develop- ment, it forfeited general public respect entirely. Its leadership was entirely re- pudiated by King county voters. But that is not all. The thoro canvass of the pga community that has just been complet- ed by trustees and members has shown. conclu- sively that the chamber, as now controlled, has also lost the confidence and the support of man- ufacturers, merchants and other oben men, They refuse flatly to furnish the money for car- tying it on. The soliciting committees report a widespread distrust of the governing group. It has been suggested before that Mr. Water- house should resign as president. But, thru the ill-advised guidance of his friends, he hung on. In light of the repudiation of the chamber by the people at the polls and now by the business men, The Star does not see how Mr. Water- house can longer withhold his resignation. His ardent supporters have referred to him as a Napoleon of business. However, Napoleon him- self could have accomplished no victories w.ith- out the loyal support of his entire army. But so sick a child is the Seattle cham- ber today that Mr. Waterhouse’s retire- ment alone will not cure the illness. The chamber needs a complete, stein-to- stern reorganization. The Star believes that every: officer and trustee should resign at once and that an election in which a new group representative of the-whole city can be chosen ought to be held. f summer: Colyumiats took. | royalist old files for "Signs of sum. y in tho a 0 port borid ts In making this suggestion The Star is aware that the official personnel of the chamber. in- cludes many men of the highest standing im the community—men whom The Star respects and whom the entire city respects.

In a new election some of these men. should, and doubtless would, be re-elected. But, lacking public support, the board,:as now con- stituted, is only a detriment to civic progress. There are many functions the chamber alone can fulfill. Its work is essential if Seattleis to grow. The national advertising ‘campaign, the — tourist program, the state development work, part.of the chamber’s Alaska activities, part ‘of | its Washington, D. C., work, its Pacifie North- west Products campai —all these are con- structive, necessary endeavors. that should ‘be - carried out in a big, broad-gauge way. * The quarter-million-dollar budget, which the, chamber has failed to raise, is really too small. Seattle’s competitors ae spending proportion- _ ately much larger sums. Public confi lence in the chamber must be restored, an adequate’: sum — raised and its wise expenditure carried on. © The Star pledges itself to support strongly in the future, as it has in the past, every construc- — tive effort the chamber undertakes. . In this campaign just closed ThesStar increased its money subscription, and it stands ready to put its shoulder to the wheel in other ways. ‘But we must have the whole community working TOGETHER. And that can only be procured thru a new deal, a new directing per- sonnel. Mr, Waterhouse probably never again will have an opportunity to do so ba) thing for Seattle as he has at this moment.
