1t is reported that the German poll

bodied Belgians who accept relief and
to put them to work to relieve the

SUPREME COURT DECIDES
AGAINST IDAHO TAX CASE

Boise, April 5.-The states at
tempt to collect an inheritance tax
upon the transfer of the. late e. H.
Harriman's interest in the Oregon
Short Line railroad in Idaho to his
widow, Mrs. M. w. Harrison, failed
Monday when the Idaho supreme
court decided that the railroad mag
nate left no estate in Idaho subject
to state laws.
Utah collected an Inheritance tax
of 81 700, 900 from the Hartman es-
tate. Il was paid because the Ore
gon Short Line is a Utah corporation.
The Idaho case. which was brought
under the direction of Capt. E. G
Davis, former assistant attorney gen
eral, was based on the contention
+, that since Hartman owned stock il
the Union Pacific, which in turl
owned stock of the Oregon Short Lin,
which has considerable mileage il
Idaho an inheritance tax should b
paid TO that state.

MONTPELIER AGAIN HAS A
LIVE COMMERCIAL CLUB
The Organization Starts Out with Membership
Of Nearly lOO-By-laws Adopted Officers
to be Elected Next Tuesday Night,

!
Some twenty or more who have
manifested an interest In the organi-
zation Of commercial club in Mont
pelier met at the office of E. L. Nc
CIave on Wednesday night of last
week, to hear the report of the COM
mittee which had previously been ap-
pointed to draft bylaws for the club.
The report submitted by the COM
nittee was adopted, after a few
minor changes were made in some
of the sections.
The membership committee re-
ported that about Is had signed the
membership roll up to that time.
Since the meeting the number has
been increased to nearly 100, all Of
whom have paid the admission fee
Of 81 and s1 dues for April.
The objects Of the club. as set
forth In the preamble to the bylaws,
are to endeavor to develop the re-
sources of the city Of Montpelier and
the county Of Bear Lake; to promote
new industries and to foster a spirit
of cooperation and mutual good will
among the business and professional
men and other citizens of said city
and county.
Amy citizen of good standing in
the county, or any one outside OF
the county who may wish to, can be-
come a member Of the club upon the
payment of 81 membership fee and
one months dues, the latter being
81 a month.
The officers of the club are to con
sist of board of seven governors
who shall elect from the membership
Of the organization a president, first
and second vice president, a secre
tary, who shall also serve as treasur
er, but he cannot be a member o.
the board Of governors.
The date for the annual meeting
Of the club for the election of |
board of governors was fixed for tn,
second Tuesday in April. According
ly the club viii meet at the fire sta
tion next Tuesday night for the cleo
tion of officers. In accordance wit
the provisions of the bylaws, Pres
Cruikshank named a committee O
three to nominate candidates for tn
board Of governors, the number I
be nominated to consist Of twice th
number to be elected, or Ia. TIL
committee met last Monday Nigh
and selected the following name
seven OF whom are to be elected h
ballot next Tuesday night:
F. L. Cruikshank, E. L. McClav
Carl Spongberg. L. c. Norris, w.
Stevens. R. Groo, M. B. Cherry.
N. sheldon, D. G. Kunz, WiIford '
Clark, E. C. Rich, r. A. Sulliya
Nose Lewis and G. E. Wright.
AS soon as they are elected Il
board will proceed to elect the pre-
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1916-04-07

dent and other officers who are to
serve for the ensuing year.
The club can then get down to ac-
tual business. Various standing COM
mittees will be appointed, as provid-
ed for in the bylaws. It is, through
these committees that much Of the
work of the club will be done.
Among the questions informally
discussed at the meeting last week
was that of having a half holiday
each week in Montpelier during the
summer months. This question will
probably come up for further discus
sion next Tuesday night, and COM
mittee will likely be appointed to
canvas the situation among the mer-
chants of the city for the purpose of
ascertaining if it is possible to carry
this proposition into effect.
That the business and professional
men Of the city see the need of a
live commercial club is evidenced by
the large number who have so readi-
ly signed the membership list and
pungled up So. But the mere sign
ing of a name to the list and paying
dues, will not make an active com
mercial club. 1t requires attendance
at the meetings and work upon the
part of those who are appointed on
the various committees.
1t has been the sentiment of those
who have attended the preliminary
meetings that the club should moi
spend several hundred dollars in fit.

quarters for the club in the new city
hall. Whatever the club may wish
to spend In furnishing rooms in the
new hall. it can do so. Until the
city hall is completed. the club will

in the present fire station.
