FIGURING THE BUDGET.
ONE OF THE MANY qr.QgtJcns aris-
ing each ?ar when the budgets
of the Chamber 01 Commerce are be
ing prepared. la how
much shculdij
cich business concern in Brdwriwooll
subscribe to xbe l?ud?et? Wliat pro-
portion of the :oia! budget should the
batiks for instance and ."he larger
r. r:cantil( esrafcHshments . pay and
uvr imich should the smaPer instf-
iUtcns contribute?
The Question . can not be" answered
SiWtrarily. 101 any rule tliat ml-Aht be
adopted woid-l ip subject io changes
to meet the ccnaitions sn they exist.
The Bulletin howevcrit occurs
ist the answ.t anight bfound'ia a
system based i.-vm the capital invest-
ed Hient of the individual business con-
--
ctrn and of the individual citizen.
The volume of business done varies!
from year to year but the&nvestmcnt
remains almost stationary except as
normal growth of the b us i n ess J causes
its increase. And the investment--of

vested.
Under the plan which has been fol
lowed during recent years business
concerns having from fifty to one
hundred thousand dollars. 'invested In
ocks of merchandise or other bus!-
ness assets have contributed from oner
hundred to two hundred dollars per
rear to the Chamber ofCommercej
budgets. The ratio has 13ee1r abouu
one to five hundred which is manij
festly very small and gives the ad
vantage to the larger business con
cerns: because small businesses hav
ins; capital HU'estments of around -fiveJ
thousand dollars each havecontribu-!
ted. usually about twenty dollars
per year or on a basis of about one
to two hundred and fifty. The indi-
vidual member -on the other hand of-
ten has no capital investment and
must depend upon his salary or wage
and his contribution of ten dollars
per year is many times greater in:
proportion than is that of the largest
business concerns.
These ideas are here sot forth not:
with a view to disarranging any bud
get .plans which may havebeen made
by the finance committee of .the
Chamber of Commerce but?to point
out. that the larger business enter-1
prises of Brownwood which for sev-
eral years have contributed a large
portion of the funds- of the Chamber
of Commerce have not done more than
they should have done and uiany of
them ought to increase their subscript
tions. for the new year. On the other
hand every home owner in Brown-
wood ought to contribute to the
Chamber of Commerce would have
the amount of his subscription on the
basis of his investment In Brownwood.
Jf every citizen and every business
enterprise would contribute one dol-
lar annually for each $250 invested in
Brownwood business or property the
Cbamebr of Commerce would have

A BIG MN COMING.
'THE CHRISTIAN people of Brown
J- wood havechaflenge confront-
ing them in the coming of Dr George
W. Truett to this city early in Janu
ary to conduct a ten days revival
Tneetins. It is a challenge of their
interest in the religious development
of BrownwoodV because it will be a
hort revival campaign conducted by
the greatest evatigelist who has ever
come into this city and because it
will offer an.opportuniy for fruitful
work on the part of everr man and
woman professing to be a Christian.
The Bulletin is not "a religious
newspaper but it has no apology to
offer for its interest in the Truett re-
viral. There is no greater preacher
in any church in the South than the
Dallas pastor and in the opinion of
many he is without a superior in the
whole United States. "What may be
the source of his greatness wheth-
er this or that or. the other thing is
nnt Tnnfprinl: the fact remains
'that
his greatness nas-peen orougnr to .iue
attention of the people because of his
-success in winning men and women
away from sin and intojoligious life
and religious efforL Certainly sucly

a preacher ought to be fortified. by
the support of every Christian an-
Brown wood jvhen he cbmes 'here for
his brief revival campaign.
IncidentaHysLmay be noted in
passing .that two BrownWood
churchesdiffering decidedly
as to
.doctrine and Church
government

revival "which will he under the di-
rection ofjHoWrd Payne college. It
