LOCAL COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATION
INDEX OF CITY’S CHARACTER
" ■' —--- -r
Tills Sis A I I IjK ('()MM KRC’fA L Cl/I'li publishes an in
terming little newspa|*r, The Bulletin, which is do
ing effective publicity work. In a recent issue is con
tained an article which applies with equal force to Cordova, as
it tells the story ot the spirit of the community’s citizenship
and is a follows: ' ’
“Introduce me to pour Commercial Club and I’ll toll you
what kind'of a city you have,” is the trite way in which a limn
prominent in community work expressed what, in substance, has
come to be recognized by men all oVer-the country who are
studying city building and comparing community conditions in
every region.
Recognition of'the vital truth reflected in this startling
statement has been the moving force back of the movement re
suiting in such marked advance in commercial organization
activities all over the country.
The commercial organization tell the story of the communi
ty spirit in proportion to the interest and support it is receiving
from the citizens of the community.
No organization is of value to a community when the organ
ization exists in name only.
To be ot value to the city the organization must be live and
active in performing a sendee of definite value to the communi
ty.
In order to do this it must have the heartv support and act
vie co-operation of its members, and the membership must in
elude the men in the community whose interests are bound up
in the community among their fellow men.
1 he tumble with many business and professional men is
that they look upon the commercial organization as a sort of
necessary evil. Tliew do not take the trouble to look into the
constructive work the organizations is doing, or see what it
may do if it had the right kind of support from them.
Perhaps once or twice a year, after repeated solicitations
by an over-worked and under paid secretary, they dig up the
coin for the dues, charge it to charity, then‘sit down and wait
and' watch with a critical eye “to see what those fellows do
with all the money they get.”
Or, more than likely, show their position with equally de
cided emphasis by announcing that they are not going to’.join
until they see what the organization does.
That spirit never got a city anywhere.
Such men are community debtors
They always want, and wait for, the “other fellow” to do
all the work, while they selfishly busy themselves with their
own private business, trying to get everything they can out of
the community without putting anything in.
It is not a question of seeing what the other fellow does.
It is: “What am I doing?” “What are you dong?”
What can we all do, working together, to advance the inter
osts of our community t"

CANKERED CENTER ALWAYS IN
CAMP OF THE OTHER FELLOW
>...
THE NEWS-MINER rises to inquire “What’s wrong with
Fairbanks” and goes on to say: “For a long time past,
very many people have been expressing the opinion
that there is something indefinitely wrong with Fairbanks—that
the Old Town “needs fixing” in some indefinable way before
prosperity will roost here nights and parade our streets during
the daylight hours. After giving the matter some very serious
thought, our contemporary puts in finger upon the exact spot
or the cankered center of the trouble. Its finding is that there
are too many people of the class of the editor of the News
Miner m this city, and altogether too few of the other class.
“The occasional-editor in his effusion does not give any de
finite or contral-powerplunt remedy for this condition, nor does
he express a suggestion as to how this evil is to be remedied
He simply cites the baneful suggestion, and does no missionary
work tor the segregation of the two classes.
“It would have been all right with us if the occasional
editor had gone all the way and pointed out how to rearrange
the town and its people into classes and separate towns It
would be all right with us, and a vastly-comfortable condition
if some* law could be passed or some hegira be started to that
end—some plan be put in working order whereby all the men in
the North who think as we do on most subjects could be herded
together in one vast community, and all those who think and
reason as it does be kept within the confines of the stockade.”

THE RISE IN COPPER IS
SUBJECT OF MUCH SPECULATION
. ....
WE 1)0 UB I if any further rise in copper is to la* regarded
with the same enthusiasm as is exhibited by those
gentlemen who are trying to engineer a boom*in cop
per shares. If the unsold accumulation of copper has been re
duced to a moderate figure, a rise is, of course, justified; and if
the tendency continues to be to draw further on stocks some
resumption of the former scale of production will be justified.
The ideal condition would be a price of about I4i/2c. per lb., net
cash, New York, for copper and production substantially ad
justed to the demand for copper at that price. There is need,
however, to proceed very cautiously in departing from the pro
violin basis of copper production to which was the only thing
that saved the copper industry last fall. The present danger is
♦ hat soin<; producers wlil forgot that we are still deprived of
our largest customer, Germany, that domestic consumption in
this country is still not what it ought to he, and that the present
large demand' for copper is to a considerable extent for military
purposes; and forgetting these things will be tempted to in
crease output and produce conditions from which we may suf
fer later—Engineering and Mining Journal.
-:o:
Seattle can thank the jitney busses for leading her away
from additional experiments in municipal ownership of street
car lines. That city’s financial condition in itself ought to be
enough of a warning against further adventures in this direc
tion.

The suggestion that Cordova have a house-cleaning seems
to meet with approval of practically all of our people, and the
work cannot be started' any too soon.
