The defendant protested against this, and the Supreme Court Of Minnesota held that such membership is person. which provides that all real and per- sonaI property in the state and all personal property of persons residing therein, except exempt property is taxable. The court said that 1t was not to be denied that in every other directly Involving the question, such memberships have escaped taxation, but points out that in some of these cases the decisions rested upon. the. fact that the Legislatures of such states had not provided for a classi- broad enough to include all personal property. The cases which hold that such membership is a mere personal privilege and not property are attack ed as unsound, and the following quo tation from the opinion of the lower court is adopted: ''Phere is no difh- culty in holding that a. membership iu the Board of Trade is property.

CASES OF INTEREST

UNSUITABLE INTEREST IN GEN. ERAL MANAGER OF CORPORA TION-Plaintin. a Yirginian corpora ton. procured an insurance policy on. the life of it's principal incorporator as president and manager. In a suit to recover on the policy. the insurance company insisted that the corporation had no insurable interest in the. life of such officer erhe Supreme Court sofsAppea1s of Virginia, in Mutual Life Insurance Company vs. Board, Arm strong & Company, Corporation, 80 Southeastern Reporter, 5S5, insists that such insurance was not obnox- ious to public policy and that there was a sufficient pecuniary interest in the life of it's manager to sustain a policy~1n favor of the corporation. The court said eshis relation to, and knowI- edge of, the financial and nanufac- turing interests of the plaintiff was such that his death could not fail to result in serious and substantial loss to its creditors and all others interest ed in it's prosperity. We are of opinion that this contract of insl1r- ance effected by the plaintiff was not an ultra wires act on its part and that the loss of services in the event of death, as stated, in the polfcys was 9 sufficient interest to maintain the policy in favor of the benafciary In support of the stand taken, thez court with apparent approvaa duoted: '.It iE hardly necessary to say that the success of 3. corporate enterprise may be so interwoven with the .persona1- tty Of its manager thatFfts. stock Is lta- ken, and money is loaned to carry it on, as much in reliance upon that personality as 1pon the intrinsic mer- it of the senterprKse; and mo good req son appears why, a stockhoIier or creditor, the value of whose invest 4nent may be reasonably said to de- pend upon the life or health of the man at the helrns should not have an insura,b1e interest in his life.
