THE San Francisco Call says that the
taxation of churches, colleges and all
benevolent institutions for the last 20
years in California has resulted in re-
pressing charity, in turning many gifts
to institutions outside of the state, in
placing heavy burdens on private edu-
cational enterprises and crippling many
others. Little encouragement is fur
nished for the maintenance of libra
ries, art galleries and museums. 1t is
further declared that there is no state
in the union with such poor churches
as are found in California, with an av-
erage tax of more than $40 a month
upon each.
