THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 157 



money was profit which with an increased circulaticm would finance 

 the National Association. 



P. E. Crane, delegate of \'erniont Branch, spoke, stating that he 

 would like to know whether the Directors had a right to buy the 

 Rkview or not. 



Mr. Hamlin A'. Poore, delegate of [Minnesota Branch, stated that 

 he was sorry there was a discussion regarding the question. Mr. 

 Poore was not in favor of establishing an official organ at this time ; 

 he recommended that some provision should be made for life mem- 

 bership. The ciuestion came up as to why some members of the 

 National did not receive the Review during the past year. Secre- 

 tary Tyrrell explained that owing to the regulations of the postal 

 authorities, the Review had to maintain a subscription list, and that 

 where membership had been paid in to the National prior to the pur- 

 chase of the Review, we would be conflicting with the postal laws 

 in sending the Review to those members, but as fast as these mem- 

 bers renewed membership, sending in their $1.00 to this office, as 

 subscription, and paying the local membership branch fee of 50 

 cents, they were placed on the subscription list, and the Review 

 sent them.

 bulletin issued by the Association would supply this need. 



^Ir. Bailey stated that he considered it a good business proposi- 

 tion in that the Review had during the past year put over $4:00.00 in 

 the depleted treasury. 



Mr. J. J. Anderson, delegate of Idaho Honey Producers' Asso- 

 ciation, again called attention to the value of a publication going 

 twelve times a year to the members in preference to once a 3-ear, 

 and called attention to other organizations having their official or- 

 gans, together with the advantages of such. He asked if the Direc- 

 tors had no authority to take the action they did. what use there 

 was in electing directors. He approved the purchase of the journal, 

 not only as a means of communication between the members but as 

 the means of providing revenue for the Association. 



Motion made by Mr. Anderson, delegate of Idaho Ploney Pro- 

 ducers' Association, that the proposed amendment of Article IX, 

 Section 1, be accepted. This motion was later withdrawn, and the 

 following motion presented instead: 



Moved by Dr. H. A. Surface, delegate of Pennsylvania, that 

 Article IX, Section 1, be referred to a committee of five to be ap-
