WILL ORGANIZE A
COMMERCIAL CLUB

Montpelier is to again have a COM
mercial club. This fact was deter
mined at meeting held in f. l..
McClave's office last Friday night,
which was attended by 80 or more
business men and representative citi-
zens of the city.
The meeting was called to order
by Mayor Sneddon, and upon motion
F. L. Cruikshank was chosen as tenn
porary chairman and H. NJ. Moore
as secretary. After some prelimi-
nary discussion, motion that COM
mercial club be organized was unan-
imously carried, and the temporary
chairman and secretary were elected
as permanent officers of the club.
After a general discussion on the
plans of organization and needs of q
commercial club in Montpelier. the
chairman appointed the following
committee to draft a constitution
and bylaws. c. E. Wright. r. n
Sheldon, E. L. McClave. w. G.
Staley, and M. B. Cherry.
Walter Stevens and Carl Spong
berg were named as q committee t.
solicit membership from the business
and professional men who were no
at the meeting.
From the enthusiasm manifestet
by all present. there is every reasoI
. to believe that live club will be or
: ganized-one which will use ever,

: ests of Montpelier in particular an
Bear Lake valley in general.
The meeting adjourned until mex
Monday night, at which time it
expected that the committee on cor

PROPOSES new PLAN OF
MAKING STATE LOANS
John w. EagIesOn, State Treasurer, Suggests a
Substantial Reduction in Interest Rates and
Long Time Amortization.

In case of non-payment, similar pro-
cedure could be had as with the nom
payment of taxes and at the same
time and manner with no additional
cost.
mo county would for many years
exceed 100 loans and this would be
no great burden to any set of off,
cials. However, to compensate the
county, the state could well afford to
turn over to the county. the per
cent appraisement fee now charged
for the expense of making appraise-
ment.
We can put all of our school
bonds, sale contracts and mortgages
on. a 6 per cent semi-annual payment
basis, 5 per cent to apply as interest
and the balance would apply on the
amortization of the principal and the
state would actually save money by
SO doing If handled by the counties
as suggested and the saving in the
expense of handling would be given
to the school districts, the borrower
of state money and the purchaser of
state land. This would put all land
sales, loans and school bondsa on &C.
year basis. In other words, the pur-
chaser or borrower Of state money,
by semi-annual payment at the rate
of 6 per cent on the amount of the
original loan. would have his entire
debt of state money disposed of in
36 years. The actual time figures a
fraction more than So years, but the
extra amount is so small that it could
be included in the last payment.
The following worked out on the
basis of a $1,000 loan shows the
method:
Take a note dated JAM /. 1871
, for $1,000 at 6 per cent interest ant
amortization, payable semi-annually

! the rate now charged. Instead o
! counting all of this $50 as interes
E each time, give the state 5 per cen
5 semi-annual interest on the new prin

Y apply the balance of the payment t
!, amortizing the principal, thus reduC
b ing the principal each payment an
e also the amount of interest paid out
h but increasing the amount to appl
