STANDING GOMMEETEES ANNOUNCED
FOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOR
WORK OF NEW ORGANIZATION YEAR
f
President "W. D. nnstrong of the
Chamber of Commerce announced tho
list of standing committees for the
organization's new year work Thurs-
day evening when the Board of Direc-
tors m.et In regular session. In con-
nection with the announcement of
committees the President explained
in some detail the" duties which will
be laid upon the committeemen and
there was1 a general discussion of the
work of- iseveral of the committees
especially the finance and membership
all this year so he said today but wilt
c!evote iis entire time and energy to committee; of which T. E. Denman is
his profession and to looking after the director. 11
busfiiMK'pr his office. Tentative plans for launching the
Juige Sweet says he hopes to see annuai membership campaign on Wed-
the time hn the men wfeo are cho- nesday Df next week were made and
pen by the people to make their laws iDirector iBcnman promised to work
will be paid a salary commensurate
svith the duties of the position and its
Varied responsibilities. He regards
Jhe legislature of Texas and of every
other state In the union as being noth-
ing more" than a board of directors
rnd he regards the duties of the board
of directors in any business of what-
ever kind as being the most important
of any other feature of the business.
"Suppose &r4Mtancf&at the -board
of (directors of any .business did .not.
3hcet except in a perfunctory way at
'wide intervals. What would be the
iresult? "What wpuld become of the
business? As a matter of fact it would
ssoon go on the rocks " he said. He
'made the application as to the legislar
iture and stated that the legislature
should meet oftener if necessary than
tevery two years and in this connection
Jhe had no reference to the authority
jof the governor to call an extra ses
sion .should the necessity for the oc-
casion to arise. He said his idea was
that the legislators should be on a sal
ary of sufficient size as to permit and
require them to be on their job every
day In the yeaf just as the busy lawyer
is 03- his lob to his office every day in
the year thewiegislators studying in
the jnost precise and painstaking man-
ner every phase of the public interest
ras to be ready to bauidle the differ-
ent.problems In 3 sensible and satis-
factory way. He said he was not par-
ticular as to whether the size of the
legislature was reduced or left as it is.
The main point of the argument was
that the members of the legislature
ahould be paid a salary of sufficient
size to permit them to devote their en-
lite time and attention to their offi-
cial duties to the exclusion of every-
thing else and that in" order to expe-
dite matters It might be a good idea to
have a certain number of the legislations-
meet at the seat of government
My once every month or two and dis-
cuss current problems with the gov-
ernor so that legislation might not be
hfndered when the legislature met in
regular or extra session.
Judge Sweet aid that in his opinion
CoVjernor Neft would not call an ex-
tra session of the legislature to attend
Ui penitentiary affairs because in his
opinion. Governor JN'eff was. trying to
solve the present penitentiary prob-
Jemthrough the board he has appoint-
ed without having to call an extra bcs-
ioar lor that purpose. However it
T-'flt. take time to work out the peni
tentiary proBlem as the situation is of
a desperate character and cannot be
solvedin a day nor a month.

tlieservjce pertaining to duties and
work of a member nf thu lorriniatnta
Jude( Sweet said was found in the CdSm'r SrectOT;
lAcvimz we wflrk was of such nature
as to disorganize or upset private bus-
Jaefija such way as to injure it per-
jMtMfttly. For this reason be bellev-
jl'tSe salary of the legislators should
Jfc 'so remunerative that onembers
toofU be able tq devote their time
mm auemuon wniie in service to Jhelr
out definite plans for probable an-
nouncement Saturday. Manager Al-
bright reported- that less than one
hundred members have been enrolled
in the Chamber for the new year
compared with almost four hundred
last yearj .hence the task of the mem-
bership committee is to secure some-
thing -more than three hundred mem-
bers in order to give the organization
a "budget similar to that of 1921
