Although usage has made the choice

bers, 1t is no hard and fast rule, and
any five club members may put another

selection Of the committee. That has
happened once or twice before. and IN

zest given to the campaign.

ing Of the mining industry, and OF his
efforts in that direction. the board Of
governors yesterday elected him to hon
orary membership in the club.
Among the communications consid-
cred by the governors at their meeting
was the invitation OF the ST. Paul Job
bers & Manufacturers association to the
local club to join in a countrywide re-
quest for a revision or repeal Of the sec
ton of the tariff act providing for a tax
on corporations. The st. Paul assOcia-
ton regards this tax as burdensome
and unjust, and seeks general support
Of commercial organizations. The mat
ter was referred to the arbitration COM
mittee for consideration before an an
swer is made 70 the communication.
Another Invitation.

invited to affiliate with the National
Board OF Trade, an organization COM
posed of commercial bodies throughout

lations. The national organization was
formed in 1868, and has its headquarters
in Philadelphia. Secretary Game was

which is working theoretically to secure
