Taxation OF Church and Charity
Property.

(FrOm the Cleveland HoEAld) d. ~
Reflection and consideration Of argu-
meuts faVoring exemption Of church and
charity property from taxation have only
but confirmed US In the conviction that
there should DO no exemption Of real
property from taxation, save such as Is
public property. All realty held by pri.
Vate parties should pay It's proportion OF
taxes. We know OF no good argument
why there should be an exemption, even
in favor Of modest, plain, or poor churches.
Those who contribute to build such
places OF worship have no exemption on
their own houses, no matter how hum
bic, no matter how cheap they may be
The assessors Ol the city Of Brooklyn,
N. j., have examined into the matter ot
tax exemption, and they report that In
that city 1897 lots, estimated with their
buildings at $39,O75, 900, do not pay q
cent Of taxation. Orthis immense amount
Ul property, thatw is strictly public,
lOots up $lS67S, 600; that which Is church
and charitable paperty amounts 10 Sl2,-
100000, which, II its proportion taxed,
would pay Into the treasury $4S4, ,175.
Property exempted from taxation,
therefore, in o State like Ohio, would
amount TO fifty millions or more. And
the people are forced to pay the amount
which this property should yield. There
is no Justice In II, even II there were no
abuse under the law. The matter Is 80
plain, so seltevident, AS TO need no argu-
ment, All that Is required are the facts.
