THE Statesman has . freanently
pointed out In this series of
articles on the incorporation
and operation . of the Empire
Holding company that Frank J.
Keller, Jr., of Salt Lake City pro
vided the flame of genius for its
organisation, and udge Oliver P.
Coshow, recent chief Justice of
the supreme court, was the rock
and buttress of the Imposing fi
nancial ' structure which Empire
salesmen told "investors" was to
be raised.
Wherever the Empire tide
flowed, it carried on its crest the
name of this eminent Jurist. First,
he was its president, taking office
Jan. 1, under a $109,000 10-year
contract, and receiving salary ac
cording to the company's books
starting December 10, 1930. Then
he was the patron promoter, his
name appearing in nearly half of
the promotional letters in the var
ious prospectuses. The Judge had
no hesitancy in enlisting his
friends in the enterprise either by
oral solicitation or through the
mails.

It is undoubtedly upon this im
posing rock 'f Masonic confidence
that Judge Coshow was able to
secure a somewhat unusual en
dorsement from the Masonic
groups in the northwest. On the
front page of the Masonic Analyst,
published February, 1931, ap
pears a three-column description
of the plans for the Empire Hold
ing company together with a one-
column picture of Judge O. P.
Coshow. The Statesman today
publishes a facsimile of this page:

Summons to 50 owners of Mar
lon county property on which 1918
taxes are delinquent will be filed
next week by Edwin Keech, attor
ney who is handling the eases for
the county, he said yesterday. The
owners will be ordered to settle
within CO days if they do not wish
to have foreclosure action taken
for the delinquent tax liens. Pay
ment of interest and penalties on
the back taxes have greatly in
creased the amount due the coun
ty.
This action on the 1918 taxes
will be. only the first of a series
of applications for foreclosure on
delinquent lands in succeeding
years, according to Keech. He
tlmates that over 400 pieces of
land eventually would be involved
in the proceedings.
Many of the parcels of land on
which taxes are delinquent, both
in the city and throughout the
county,' are of considerable value,
said Keech, and it is expected in
vestors will take advantage of low
tax sale prices on them.
In moving to clean up these old
delinquencies, the county court
has two objects in mind. One is to
clear up the tax rolls and obtain
the taxes and interest due the
eounty. The other is to get these
properties Into the hands of per
sons who will keep the taxes paid
up.

any such step. He explained he
