At this meeting OF our associa ton there
are some practical questions OF interest to
our organization and to each member
thereof to which desire to call your at
tention: ae& -a.g :
The association has entirely outgrown
the constitution and bylaws adopted at
its first organization and it was not pub
lished in helast annual proceedings. because
it would have been suggestive OF the Jacket
OF a boy in use by q full grown man. The
committee, to whom the duty OF drafting
o constitution and bylaws and presenting
them at this time for your adoption, I
understand, are prepared to report and
have used as basis the constitution and
bylaws OF the editorial nsso citation OF an
eastern state that is tho res ult of30 years
experience.
The question OF how to deal with
unworthy members of the association has
been settled in most jurisdictions by ,cx-
pulsion, but l do not remember to have no.
ticed any efficient and snlutary penalty;
alter much reflection on that subject, Tree

expelled for conduct unbecoming an editor

alton. The newspaper that could exist
without an exchange would be OF few DAYS

] have several amendments OF the laws
OF this territory to recommend that it is
believed would be OF advantage to YOU
md just to all concerned: First in rela-
tion to publication OF mortgage foreclosure
sales Of real estate; the law provides what
rates shall be allowed for publication and
the rates are charged, but it has been found
that to procure such publications, proprie-
tors OF newspapers have divided the publ
cation fee with the attorney who was fore.
closing the mortgage. One instance has
come to- my knowledge OF Il member OF this
association who in such a case published
the notice for the full time for $40; and
doubtless many of you have had nttor-
neys offer you their publications il you
would divide with them the publication
lee. The result is in some cases ruinous
competition. Ofcourse you have your opin-
ion OF the man who would resort to such
means to obtain business and do not dis
ngree with you; but that does not remedy
or abAte the evil: an amendment OF the
law SO as to require that the affidavit OF
publication should contain q statement OF
the amount Of the publication fee, and al
30 that no part of said fee was divided or
shared with the attorney foreclosing said
mortgage, or with any other person or per-
sons, would put stop to this ruinous and
once existed among attorneys who divided
their fee as provided for in the mortgage
with the party foreclosing and the remedy
IBuggest was applied by the legislature to
such cases and has proved effectual.
