COMMERCIAL CLl II NOTES
The question frequently arises as
to whether or not a person who has
signed up to pay commercial club
aes and who refuses to do so can
he compelled to pay the same legal
ly. This question was recently de
cided by a high court In the east
when a judge was sued for his club
daes. He was compelled to pay.
Town Development had the follow
ing to say regarding the case:
Back went a letter informing thej
honorable Justice that his reference'
to "self respect would have had
greater weight had it been accom
panied by a check.
If the secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce has proven his worth, if
hi naturally to be expected that the
organization will stand tirmly back
f him in any move he makes solely
for its benefit. But there may be
commercial bodies that would hesi
tate In taking a stand in defiance of
the tradition which surrounds a

member of the Supreme Court. This,
however, did not deter a Chamber
of Commerce in one of the Atlantis
states.
Among the members of the organ
isation is a justice of the Supreme
Court.
This gentleman apparently form
ed the idea that he Is a privileged
character and that he should not be
expected to pay dues. The secretary
of the chamber of commerce thought
otherwise:, and asked for a check.
"I had intended-to pay," wrote the
honorable Justice of the ' Supreme
Court, "but now that you have asked
me to do so, I cannot pay without
sacrificing my Belf-respect."
The entire incident, correspond
ence and all, was placed before the
board of directors of the Chamber of
Commerce. The secretary received
a unanimous vote of confidence and

office on Tuesday and asked that she
be given space to make a statement
regarding the article In the Times on
Friday of last week regarding her
marriage to Mr. Pavleff.
"It seems strange," said Mrs. Rot
ter, "that a newspaper like the
Times should go out of Its way to at
tack me. I have done nothing . to
the honorable gentleman who runs
that paper and I see no reason why
he should put himself out to make
fun of me or cause me trouble. I
met Mr. Pavleff over a year ago. I
need someone to help me care' for my
big family, for It's been a hard strug
gle for me ever since my first hus
band deserted me. If 'the paper
that's not afraid to print all the

title Instead of picking on a poor,
hardworking woman like me and
shielding many others, they would
have the good will and respect of
many people who now know them
for what they are."
