NO TAXATION OF CHURCHES.
Exemption Amendment to Constitu-
ton Proposed.

Among the bills which the Legislature
Will be asked to pass upon at the present
session is a measure providing that there
shall be submitted to the vote of the peo-
pie at the next general election an amend
ment to the constitution, exempting from
taxation all churches and chapels and the
land on which they rest. The bill is now
being prepared by the California Society
for the Exemption of Houses of Religious
Worship From Taxation, which was or
gained about month ago for the pur-
pose of fathering the project. The Of
hcers of the society are:
President. Bishop William f. Nichols, of
the Episcopal Church.
vice president, Rev. j. w. Dinsmore, OF
San Jose.
Secretary, ]. F.. Drum, of San Fran
cisco.
The executive committee is made up Of
ministers and Iaymen representing every
religious denomination in the State. Petit
tons have been distributed all over the
State, asking for the passage of the bill,
and are receiving many signatures. AS
soon as all these petitions are returned
the bill will be submitted to the Legis-
lature.
Every State in the Union, with the sin
gle exception of California, exempts
church property from taxation. The con-
stitution of this State, however, provides
that all property must be taxed, and
therefore an amendment to the cOnSti-
tuition is necessary to exempt church
property.
In 1853 a law was passed by the Legis-
lature eXempting this class of property,
and the Supreme Court twice declared
the law constitutional, but in 1856 an adj
verse decision was rendered and the mat
ter has been allowed to rest there. In
but few of the Eastern States is the ex-
emption limited to the church buildings
and the land on which they are built,
being much more sweeping.
The leaders of the movement are con-
fident that the sentiment of the people
throughout the State is strongly in favor
of the proposed measure, and they be-
lieye. that the Legislature will grant the

E. J. Baldwin, who has been dividing
his time between Los Angeles and his
Santa Anita ranch for the last fortnight,
was seen last night by a Call correspond
ent in the southern metropolis and asked
what his plans were in regard to rebuild
ing on the burned hotel site. Baldwin
somewhat testify declared himself in the
following terms:
81 have abandoned my original plan to
construct any buildings on the site or the
hotel recently destroyed by fire. 1t was
my intention to erect a twelve-story
building, containing 1850 rooms. The
money to build this hotel was offered by
a New York trust company and amounted
to $3500,000, which would have paid on
the mortgage and erected the building
l have now come to the unalterable con-
cluSion for the present to fix up the I'M
destroyed stores and put a roof over tour
stories. If any objections are offered to
my determination l shall roof over only
the first story.
81 consider the corner to be the best
and most valuable in the United States,
and as long as the property is mine l
can do whatever l please with it. AS far
as selling it is concerned, | am not dtcker-
ing with any one with that view in mind.
The lot has been on the market, but it
must bring my price or the sale Will
never be contaminated Three months
five millions. OFFERS of various amounts
from two to three millions have been
made, but l will reject them all unless
they meet with my requirements.
From this it would appear that Bald
win will take his own time in improving
the unsightly structure which now has
become a nuisance to the community.
Merchants along Market street have com
planned of his dilatory tactics in clearing
out the debris, but their protests are in
vain, and from this latest expression Of
intention on the part of Lucky"
1t seems that the Inflated Baldwin Hotel
property will continue to be a disgrace
to the city and a detriment to the bust
ness interests in that vicinity.
