performers. the audience seems perfect

NO TAX ON CHARITY.
INSTITUTIONS OF PUBLIC CHAR
ITY" EXEMPTION CAUSES DE-
BATE IN THE CONTENTION.


BATE IN THE CONVENTION.
DOVER. March 9.-The attendance at
the session of the Constitutional Com
vention yesterday morning was so
small that when the Committee on
Revenue and Taxation offered its re-
port with institutions OF public char
ity cut out of the exemption cluase. OBJ
jectiCn to Il resultedi lin an immediatead-
iournment for the further consideration
of that phase of the report
AT the afternoon session the commit
tee returned. still adhering to its origi-
nal report.
On motion of Mr.. Salisbury, the sec
ton was amended by striking out all
that part of section /, which exempted
certain interests from taxation and
specifically referred the whole Ques-
ton Of exemptions to the General AS
sembly.
Mr.. Johnson. Of Wilmington, urgent
ly supported this amendment for the
reason that Wilmington was compelled
from time TO time TO have exempted
suburban areas from taxation I'm order
TO induce capital to develop new indus
tries. Other cities did this. and there
fore Wilmington could not escape IT,
Thereupon, he wanted the power to ex-
empt left to the General Assembly.
The convention agreed to the amend
ment without division, and the section
as adopted reads as follows:
IAN taxes shall be uniform upon the
same class Of subjects within the terri
tcrial limits of the authority levying
the tax, and shall be levied and coll
lectcd under general laws, but the Cen
eral Assembly may, by general laws,
exempt from taxation such property as
in the opinion OF the General Assembly
will best promote the public interests. "
The next section was amended by
adding az its beginning the first SEN
tence of section IA. of the present Con-
stitution. and Il was adopted as fol-
lows:
"All bills for raising revenue shall
originate in the House of Representa-
tives. but the Senate may propose alter
Gtions as on other bills. but no bill
from the operation of which when pass
ed into a law revenue may incidentally
arise. shall be accounted bill for rails
ing revenue nor shall any matter or
clause whatever, not Immediately relat-
ing to and necessary for raising reve-
nue., be in any manner blended with OF
annexed to a bin for raising revenue. %
The rest of the report was recommit-
ted for further consideration.
