pay for thems Do they not call this
a robbery of God?
We are also informed by The Sun,
that $15,000,000 is invested in church
lands and property and pays no tax.
This may be the case or it may not be.
Figures may not lie; but liars can
figure; Nothing personal intended),
and so, one can prove most anything
in this way. And such statements
may not be always reliable.
In the first place we would like to
know is this the assessed value, or full
value. If the latter, then we would
have 100000 instead of $15,0O0,0O0,
on which taxes are exempted.
In the second place, how many
charitable institutions and col
leges where poor young men are given
a free education, are included under
church property?
And in the third place, we would
like to know how much of this $15,-
100000 represents luxury and fashion,
etc, and whatever is thus represented
we would tax out of existence. Until
these points are settled, it is idle to
make a sweeping statement, and then
build up solid argumunt upon it.
But enough of this; and we close by
calling attention to another fact, that
church tax would increase church
expenses, and rs these come out Of
the community in some shape or form;
80 that what the individual would
save in taxes, he would loose in church
contributions. And this leads up to
the question, which Is better, that the
community should encourage a church
organization, as a public good, or
should so tax it as to cripple It's work
of charity.
The town without any church organ
iZation, Is not the one in which the
real estate agent is very much inter
ested.

Lots of Fun, But a Close Call.

Messrs. Moses Mezerow, Ben Bogus
lawsky and Morris Silber engaged
livery team Sunday and started for a
drive to Stevens Point. When about
mile this side of Plover the horses
were frightened by dog and started to
run. Moses Mezerow, who held the
lines was pulled over the dashboard
the first jump the horses made and rode
the left wheel for about two rods, when
he succeeded in turning the team into
barbed wire fence. When the smoke
cleared away Silber was on dead run
down the road about a half mile in
quest of an axe; Boguslawsky had Just
commenced to revive from dazed
state of mind; and Mezerow carefully
picked himself out from somewhere
under the horses and front wheels.
The team was badly cut, and extricated
from the tangle with difficulty, when
the boys continued or their way. 1t
was a hair-raising escape for Mr..
Mezerow and he has been limping
around this week as result. The
