port on Senate Bill No. ID
being an Act to relieve the Young
Mems Christian Association anC
the Sailors Home Society from
taxation, saying that they have
had the Act under consideration
and cannot recommend its passage
not believing in the principle thai
one part or portion of the differ
ent persons or association of per
sons, or any association of persons
that may have incorporated them
selves and form a part of the body
polite, should for any reason
either secular or religious, or or
account of belonging to any
particular class or body oil
men, be relieved from contribut-
ing towards the Government that
affords them protection and under
which they live or exist, their pro
rata by way of taxes for such
benefits.
Another reason also against its
passage, is that if passed it will
be establishing a precedent which
will be hard to get over, and to
deny relief of this same sort when
applied for by like institutions.
If, however, the Senate should
deem it advisable to pass the Act
the preamble should be stricken
out, or elee a new Bill introduced
! amending Section 33 of Act 81 ot
: the session laws of 1896 relating
to Internal Taxes, by adding tt
that Section the names of the in
stitutions now seeking relief un-
der this Act.
