In years past the North Town as
SCISSOR has attempted TO collect the
tritle of $4,000 or so that would be
due for taxes on the land used as a
money-making adjunct, although the
seminary has always been regarded
as properly exempt under its charter
But through some legal machination
the seminary has contrived to have
its name taken off the roll, and Up
to date has not paid one cent into the
treasury.

SHOULD PAY The TAKES.
From the Chicago Daily News

From the chicago D0llN News
Legally the officers of the McCor-
mick theological seminary are clearly
in the wrong in not paying taxes on
such property belonging to the insti-
tuition as is not actually used for re-
ligious purposes.
On this point the law is direct and
explicit Francis Hilliard, the lead
ing American authority on taxation,
says;
The intention OF the law Is to exempt
only buildings which are actually used for
religious worship. Thus a statute exempt
ing houses Of worship from taxation does
not apply to church edidces in process of
erection nor to tenements though under
the same rcof with houses OF worsh D.,
which are used for purposes wholly seeu-
lar So, under statute exempting from
l
taxation land on which house for re-
llgious worship is situate any part Of the
TO be exempt
In support of this position Mr..
Hilliard refers to cases found in the
reports OF Illinois, Ohio and Indiana.
The principle IS a wellsettled one
and is not now disputed. The same
is also true Of the property Of educa-
t.onal institutions. In order to be
exempt from taxation it must bC
actually used for educational pur.
poses.
1t is not enough that the revenue
derived from the renting of the
houses and lots belonging to the Nc
Cormick Theological Seminary is de
voted to the educational and relig
ious purposes of the institution; the
houses and lots, to be exempt from
taxation, must themselves be II
actual use for such purposes. If ar
earnest effort to collect the taxes
Justly due on the property shall b.
made it will, without doubt, sue
ceed.

1t Will Now Go to the
House for Final
Action,
And Will No Doubt
Become a Law
Next Week.

The Senate has passed unanimously
the bill TO add ten to the number
of Cook County Judges. This
harmony of sentiment was due in
part no doubt to the fact that it is u
bill to right great wrong. Such
measures are always popular. The
bill has gone TO the House, and may
slip through there unamended for
that same reason. It has been sug-
gested by an evening paper that 1t be
so altered as to provide that only half
of the new Judges shall belong to the
same party This would be outrage
Gus. 1t is not likely that the Demo
Gratis, encouraged by their victory Of
last November, will consent to such
proposition. They would prefer to
have all ten to reward the lawyers of
their own party
1t has been shown most conclus lively
that the business Of most OF the
courts Is in arrears, and 1t has been
demonstrated that that is due TO the
fact that there are not enough judges
to do the legitimate business Of the
courts. 1t has been made manifest
that the work would not be expedited
if all the Judges worked as hard and
effectively as some Of them do. 1t
has been proved that defective sys-
TENS of procedure ana imperfect laws
are not responsible for the slow prog
ress Of the courts and the loading of
the dockets with cases which right
| fully do not belong there The fault
is entirely with the lack of Judges
There are some Judges and ex-
Judges who say privately that the
present number on the bench is about
sufficient, and laugh at the assertion
that they are @the hardest-worked
men in Cook County" But their
opinions are not worth paying atten-
tion to.
Cook County needs ten new Judges,
and it is to be hoped that the House
will hurry the bill through in the
same manner that the Senate did.
We have not Judges enough.

clusively used for public worship when the

tion of the church building) is owned by

So much for the law.
Is there anything in that law
allowing this Presbyterian real estate
association to escape taxation?
Not much.
Is there any excuse whatever for
the taxing officers of Cook County
thus placing burden on honest tax
payers that belongs on other shoul-
ders?
There can be none.
The law plainly says that no prop
erty. either church or school, can be
exempted from taxation which is
leased or used in anyway with a view
to profit.
Now, who is to blame?
The Assessor Of the North Town is
not.
He honestly assesses the property.
This year he assessed it at 81, 260.
The County Clerk knocked the as
sessment out, on the plea that it was
church property"
The other taxpayers of the North
Side will have to pay this S71, ,26O,
with 80 per cent. added.
Is this right?
Is this just?
Is this the kind of theology taught
in the Presbyterian Seminary?
What about the spirit of patriotism
and brothery love we have been hear
ing so much about of late?
Has that spirit anything to do with
tax dodging and dishonest evasion OF
a lawful duty to the State?
Let us hear.

"DAILY NEWS" SPEAKS OFT.

1t Voices the Wishes of Its Army of Read
ers In Demanding that This Theological
Robbery BE stopped.
from the Chicago Daily News, May l5.l
From the extremely valuable twen-
ty acres of property lying between
Halsted street, Fullerton, Sheffield
and Belden avenues the city does not
receive ! cent of taxes. There are
on the property seventy fine resi-
dences. each rented and bringing in
a handsome revenue.
This large block Of land is owned
by the Presbyterian Theological Sem
mary of the Northwest, known as
the Mccormick Seminary. The block
is worth nearly 81, 000, 600, and al
though bringing in a revenue of over
$50, 0OO year its owners do not con-
tribute anything to the city treasury.
There are in all seventy-One houses
on the grounds, besides the seminary
buildings. Three of these are used
as residences by members of the the
illogical seminary faculty, while the
other sixty-eight are rented to the
best advantage.
The houses are all three-stOry brick
edifices, and contain about twelve
rooms each. They have been built
gradually, and it is likely that more
will be erected, as there is land
enough to accommodate $50. They
rent at from $500 to 5000 a year, so
that the income from them amounts
to at least $50, 900 a year. Twenty
four of the houses are on Fullerton
avenue, twenty-four on Belden ave-
nue., while twenty are on the private
street known as Chalmers place. So
fearful are the seminary authorities
of giving something to the city that
one side OF this private street is al
most blockaded by notices warning
the passers-by that the grounds are
private, and that the street is not for
the use OF the public.
In the Renting Budness.
The houses are on the open renting
market and are in direct competition
with other property, although not
paying any taxes. The land Is not
used in any way for direct seminary
purposes, Tut simply for the money

So That Five Blocks Of Resi-
dences Pay No
Taxes.
One of the Greatest Out
RACES Ever Perpe-
trated.

Public excitement over the fact
that twenty acres of residence prop
erty belonging to tue Presbyterian
Theological Seminary escapes tax
alton, is on the increase.
The outrage which has gone on
from year to year, to the great cost of
the honest taxpayers of Chicago, is
arousing whirlwind of Indignation.
1t appears that County Clerk Wulff
is responsible for leaving this vast
amount of property off of the rolls.
As the Supreme Court has decided
over and over again that this prop
should be taxed, it is hard to see why
it is not?
What are the facts?
The three blocks of residence prop
erty extending from Dayton street to
Sheffield avenue and from Belden
avenue to Fullerton avenue, on the
North Side, are not taxed to the ex-
tent of one dollar.
This in defiance of all law.
The three blocks referred to are
covered with magnificent residences,
every one Of which is rented, the in
come from each being from $50 to
5000 per month.
And yet these houses pay no taxes.
They claim exemption because the
title to them is in the trustees Of the
Presbyterian Theological Seminary.
The Seminary is located on the
block bounded by Dayton and Halsted
streets, Belden and Fullerton avenues
Under the law, the Seminary itself
and the residences OF the professors
on the same block are exempt.
But the law expressly provides that
property belonging TO such institu-
tions, used for profit, must be taxed.
In defiance of this law, three
blocks, or fifteen acres, lying west Of
the one block, or five acres, on which
the Seminary is located, go scot free,
and The grand residences erected
thereon pay no taxes at all.
The poor people OF the city are
taxed TO the limit

ONLY AN EGo1IsT!CAL BOSS.

Talk about Democratic simplicity. Il
ismore difficult 10 learn what Cleveland
and his administration have been doing
about the Hawaiian matter than it would
be 10 discover court secret of crowned
head. In fact there has been something
of the mystery of the absolute monarch
attending all of Mr.. Cievelands move
menss. His state papers are but worn
out platitudes, but his actions have been
under cover and Ear reaching. At this
writing. outside of his little ring OF con-
fidants, no individual, high or low, great
or obscure, knows what Mr.. Cleveland
has been dong in the Hawaiian matter,
a matter of interest to every citizen OF
the United States. He has not communi-
Gated with congress Or consulted any one,
The English girl who claims right to
the crown of that island excepted. All
the present talk of impeachment means
nothing probably further than public
protest against the egotism and self-suffi-
cheney of chief executive, who in this
as well as in the ''obiect lesson" episode,
directly insuited the people. but who has
fallen over himself and in such numerous
ways as would be ineXcusable in first
termer.

CONSISTENCY.

In February, 1893, when there was an
attempt to repeat the Sherman law under
General Harrisons administration. Mr.
Voorhees, of Indiana said, III addressing
the senate: Il should have voted the
other day to take up what is known as
the Sherman act, and for lis repeal, but
for the fact that Its passage would absO-
lutely demonetize silver and leave it sup
ported by not one word of legislation. |
thought the measure was audacious; L
thought it an outrage to ask men, like
myself and others, to absolutely sweep
from under the silver currency
every vestige of law. That
is not what we meant at Chicago;
that is not what the people mean.
You might as we'll authorize a cir
culating medium based upon tobacco
by the hogshead, or cotton by the bale,
as upon silver in its bullion shape. 1t
must be coined into money, and such Is
the position Of the Democratic party as
declared in national convention"
Here is jewel of rare consistency.
IniS HooSier demagogue essays 10 speak
for his party in these swelling terms in
regard TO the position of the Demo
cratic party" Oh the identical meas
ure which, at the dictate of the
party's chief, was steered through
congress by his own hand and
became law six months later.
No wonder the OFF years have become
notorious ior surprises and rebukes 10
the party in power. They come round
as the adjusting periods, and the ballot
box of the nation serves us as kind Of
clearing house for the adjustment OF all
delinquencies and balances. There are
indications now that this last bogus,
Democratic draft upon human credulity
will he thrown on; as totally worthless
at the next presidential round up.
