 MINING CONGRESS

an incorporated body and only mem bers of the organization can legally vote upon such matters as relate to the permanent business affairs of the congress, the control of which is lodg- ed in a board of directors consisting of nine members, three of whom are elected annually to hold office for three years
 The board of directors will be large ly gided by the resolutions adopted by the congress, which is composed of members and duly accredited dele gates, and will mainatin a working force continually engaged In carrying out the directions of the congress as expressed in resolutions adopted at it's regular sessions.
 The distinction between the rights of members has caused more or less discussion at previous annual ses- sions. and it has been thought best to make this statement of the situation in order to avoid any misunderstood. ing. Delegates will not exercise such powers as under the law can be exer cised by members only; as such acts would be illegal and would jeopardize the powers of the congress as a COT. poration.
 Delegates will exercise all the pow. CTS of delegates to such bodies as the Irrigation congress and the Trans Mississippi Commercial congress, ana in addition. their suggestions will be put into effect as far as may be pos sible, by the permanent organization the expense of waich is maintained by the members, who have equal rights with the delegates in the oe. Alterations of the congress.
