There is way to obtain cheaper gas
without the necessity OF tearing up our

The Washington Gaslight Company is fully
equipped to manufacture a better quality
OF gas. and TO sell it at cheaper prices.
IL can also furnish amy reasonable guaranty
that its contract will be carried out, and
after fixing maximum prices, at which
both public and private consumers shall
be supplied, Congress should enter into an
agreement with the present company for
a definite term OF years. and in This way
end the controversy over the gas question.
Dollar gas seems to bc the popular rate,
although in Cleveland and Detroit. it is
supplied at cheaper prices. That is a

QUESTION lS,

"Does not Mr.. Yorke believe that exemption
from taxation is equivalent to a grant Of public
dunos, ana Is ne hostile to the taxation OF s prop
tional or State Government or their subdivisions?"
1oKKE's REPLy-In non-productive operations to
say tnat exemption from taxation is equivalent to
q grant from public funds is rubbish i believe
snat m tne exemptions from taxation granted by the
State OF California young orchards, for instance
are dictated by sound public policy, and are In no
sense grants OF public funds.
Nor over, believe that in those States where
exemption from taxation is granted to churches
the result is a thousand times more beneficial to
u the state than the aitry SUMS received in tax
atlon would be. In alifornia church property
mas peen always taxed and therefore there is no
need for that plank in the A. P. A. platform.
preachers who are agitsting the repeal of the tax
are are Just as good Americans as BENJAMIN Hudel
SUI, anu know That they pay more taxes than the
Whoie A. p A. put together.
In this reply there is much bosh. Father
forkes individual belief as to the American
Ism OF Methodist Bishops and preachers" or
as 10 tine soundness of certain matters of
public policy" or as to the beneficial or non
Denehcial results of .'exempting church prop
erty from taxation in other Stales''-these scut
no Ice,' are not evidence and are, therefore,
irrelevant. And for that reason I relegate
them to the rubbish heap"
AS to other matters Father Yorke says: tsIn
non-proouctye operations TO say that exemp-
ton from taxation is equivalent to a grant of
pubnc funds is rubbish" Perhaps 1t is rub
Dlsh from his point OF view; but, nevertheless,
the statement is true, and so automatic as to
ASSiy AcSu piiuCdtiOH mere. II i owe
$1,000, whether it be to the State for taxes or to
q private individual for groceries, and if / be
forgiven the debt, who can deny that such
forgiveness is equivalent to a grant of the said
sum OF $1,000, whether be engaged in snon-
productive operation or not?
Father Yorke's phrase, in non reproductive
operations" is infeliciteus, because vague
and indefinite as to meaning; or, if from his
point OF view it be considered ielicitous, it
can only be because 1t coneeals his meaning as
he desires. If intended to mean anything at
all, the expression renders the fathers idea
that church property is "non-productive," and
should therefore be exempt from taxation
The same argument would logically render
exempt from taxation ell vacant city lots and
all nncultlyated outside lands. and perhaps
the father thinks that too would be ..sound
public policy" Perhaps he denies that this
would be equivalent to a grant of public funds
Perhaps he would like to deny, also, that
water runs down hilln
Father Iorke refers to the exemption from
taxation granted to young orchards; he NAV
