ENTOMOLOGISTS' PROCEEDINGS 



21 



Committee on Resolutions: W. C. O'Kane, C. Gordon Hewitt 

 and George A. Dean. 



Committee on Nominations: Wilmon Newell, A. L. Quaintance 

 and C. P. Gillette. 



The next order of business is the action on the proposed amendment 

 to the by-laws. 



Mr. E. p. Felt: It if is in order, I would like to substitute in 

 the proposed amendment the wwds ''one dollar and a half for ''two 

 dollars," for annual dues for active members. In explanation of this 

 I will say that at the present time all members are paying $1.00 for 

 the Journal. Active Members pay $1.00 membership fee and Asso- 

 ciate Members 50 cents. If we leave the by-law as it stands and con- 

 tinue the price of the Journal to members at $1.00, the Active Mem- 

 bers will receive their membership and the Journal for $3.00; Asso- 

 ciate Members for $2.00. If the subscription price of the Journal 

 is advanced 50 cents to both members and non-members, it will mean 

 that Active Members will pay $1.50 a year for membership fee and 

 $1.50 a year for the Journal, while Associate Members will pay $1.00 

 for membership fee and $1.50 for the Journal. This arrangement 

 will result in placing the additional funds where they are most needed. 



Mr. T. J. Headlee: I would like to inquire whether this arrange- 

 ment will provide ample funds for publication. I have felt that we 

 need more money for publishing the Journal and that we ought to 

 take care of all papers that may be presented for pubhcation and do 

 it rather promptly. I would like to see the Journal grow in size and 

 serve a larger constituency. 



Secretary A. F. Burgess: In answer to the question raised, I 

 will say that if this motion prevails and the change in subscription rate 

 is made for the Journal in accordance with the suggestion made by 

 Mr. Felt, I think the stringency will be relieved and we will be in good 

 financial condition. I believe we will be able to print a somewhat 

 larger volume of matter in the Journal but this will depend on how 

 severely our foreign subscription list is curtailed. 



It was voted to adopt the amendment suggested by Mr. Felt and 

 Article 3, Section 1, of the By-laws was adopted so that it reads as follows : 



"The annual dues of Active Members shall be $1.50 and the dues 

 of Associate Members $1.00, which shall be payable in advance. No 

 dues shall be payable from foreign members. Annual dues shall not 

 include subscription to the Journal of Economic Entomology." 



Mr. E. p. Felt: In view of the fact that the Advisory Com- 

 mittee last year recommended an increase of 50 cents in the sub- 

 scription price of the Journal of Economic Entomology, I move 

 that this increase be adopted by the Association. 



This motion was seconded and carried.
