TAXES OF CHURCHES
Washington Had an Experience
.~, Like That Promised by E. T.
49, b.
i Abbott of Minneapolis. .=
Sectarian Entertainments Make, the
Property Taxable If Rental
-. = Fees Are Charged. =

Aproposd of the proposition of former
County Surveyor E. r. Abbott of Henne->
pin county to bring proceedings against
Plymouth Congregational church to place
Its property on the tax rolls because the
church building is frequently rented for
public entertainments at which admission
fees are charged, it may be interesting to
note that similar question was recently
up in Washington. The First Congrega-
tional church and the Church of Our Sa-'
vtor, U niversalist, in Washington, are <ad-
mirably located and in popular demand
for public entertainments. 1t was the be-
lief Of certain Washngtonians that these
churches came within the tax law because
they charged a rental fee for. their build
ings when so used for public purposes;
furthermore, the point was made that ad-
mission fees were charged.
The legal officer Of the District of Co
lumbia, when appealed to, said that, the
property in question was certainly liable,
to taxation, the theory Of the exemption
being that; churches. are used wholly for
free religious worship. The churches came
to the front, after the delivery of this
opinion, and said that they had never
charged a rental fee for the use of their
houses Of worship. 1t was true that the
Grand Army of the Republic held its an
nual encampment in the First Congrega-
tional church, and the national society
of the HWomans Relief Corps, but no
rental fee was charged them. This ex-
PLANTATION has for the time being quoted
the public mind, but it is evidently the
intention of Washington to place these two
properties on the tax rolls If they con-
tinue the indiscriminate use of their build
ings for paid entertainments not connected
with the work of the churches as such.
The complaint in Washington originated
with the owners of public halls, who said
that their property paid full taxes, and
yet was brought into unsuccessful compe-
tition with exempt church property. &

TOUR 'R0UND THE WORLD
Four Minneapolis Ladies Embark at
Tacoma-Much Time to Be
Spent in India.
Special to The Journal.


Tacoma, Wash, Nov. 5.-Four ladies,
Mrs. H. G. Harrison Mrs. r. H. Passmore,
Miss Fannie and Miss Charlotte Passmore,
arrived yesterday from their homes in
Minneapolis. The yare about to embark
on a tour Of the world, which will last
eight months. A good part Of the. time
they will spend in India, where they will
attend the Durham, on Dec. 49,, when all
the native Hindoos will swear allegiance
to King Edward VII. This occasion, it is
expected, will be the greatest spectacular
event that has happened in the far east
since the taking of the oath of allegiance
to Queen Victoria in India, which, at that
time, was the most extraYagant pageant
that part Of the world had ever known.
During their trip the ladies will visit
China, Japan, Philippine islands, Siam,
Burmah, Singapore and many other places
of interest and return home from England.
while our trip is one of pleasure" said
Mrs. Passmo ore, I'VE will also look into the
foreign mission work while we are absent:
We are not missionaries, but are greatly
interested in the work Most Of our time
will be spent in India, where we have been
before and have many friends.
During our stay it is our intention to
look over the famine stricken parts of the
country and note the improvement in the
conditions and how the country and the
people are ralying from the events Of
those terrible days. India is a country
that should recuperate quickly and there
fore should not be surprised If we find
prosperity there when we arrive. We
will be gone eight months and possibly
longer"

POLLS ARE NOT PARL0RS
Mrs. E. A. Russell Says Men Who
Urge Women to Vote Should -
Provide Better Places,

A protest against the polling places as
found yesterday, as unfit for women to
vote in has been made by Mrs. e. A.
Russell. She tells her experience as fol-
lows:
During this campaign women have
been urged to vote for the members of
school board in order to show their appre-
citation. Of the rights already given them
They have been informed that it was their
right as we'll as sacred duty to vote on
the question Of the issuance of school
bonds. 1t was admitted that women as a
class were the most interested portion Of
the community in having sufficient num-
Der Of we'll built and sanitary school build
ings to meet the demands of this growing
city. Now after all this encouragement
(and it does seem that men are truly anx
ious to have us vote, at least when such
action will help out their plans) when we
go to the polls, what kind of a place do
we find provided in which to deposit our
sacred ballots? Yesterday morning a
woman who owns thousands Of dollars
worth Of city property, and pays many
hundreds Of dollars in taxes, and myself,
went to the appointed place to vote. We
both believe it is the duty of every Chris
tian citizen, to vote on every question
that pertains to the government of city,
county, state and nation as far as per-
mitted by the law, and that the more we
show our principles by using. the .oppor.
ttunity, menshave2 given U.S., the sooner we
shall be given equal privileges. =, When we
reached the place, selected and prepared
BY the more fully enfranchised portion. Of
the community. we were obliged. to go
through a livery stable, into an exceed
:ingly small, ;dingy and filthy room, where
there was a crowd of a men standing
around, smoking and splitting, presum-
ably to make the place still more attract
i've. ~ ir ;'t
Nov, I appeal to you mems that the
kind of place where you would like to
have your mother, wife or sister go to
vote? Such a place violates every
'womanly instinct of propriety and neat
ness and further believe that many if
not most women would be kept from doing
their public duty by such conditions. I
venture. to assert that whenever women
are given the right Of franchise, that they
will first ofFall cleanse the Augean sta
bles, sof these polling places. }s-r.,. -
:. :, Every time women pay their taxes they
should protest against the injustice Eof
paying taxes without the right of express
sion as to how and by whom the 'sinews'
of government should be expended when
according to the constitution of the United
States it is clearly stated that taxation
without representation is tyranny we
should protest against this injustice and
protest again and again, until Justice is
accorded us. n ' - r, - =

GREAT THINGS FOR FORT
Predictions of Congressman F. G.
Stevens-H. P. Halls Jolt for
Capital City Men.

Congressman F. C. Stevens of St. Paul,
In an address before the St. Paul Com
mercial Club. last night, told club MEM
bers Of the 1mprovem ents contemplated
by the government at Fort Smelling. He
said those already determined upon would
cost 100000; and that the plans Of the
war department, when fully carried out,
would mean an expenditure of $1,000, 900
for betterments and $4,000 900 for main
tenance and supplies. He added that a
quarter of a million of dollars would be
spent before July l, that proposed build
ings would cost $300,00O, and that $3.50, 900
would be required to pay for the 1000
acres of land to be added to the reserva
ton. In closing, Mr.. Stevens said that
the fort would be made a depot for sup
plies not only for the northwest but for
the Philippines as we'll; and that the gov
would put its own line of railway
on the reservation and construct another
bridge across the Mississippi to accommo-
date railway, street car and team traffic.
H. P. Hail startled club members by de-
claring that st. Paul had the dry rot"
He contrasted the progress of the sanity
city with that of Minneapolis, very much
to the discredit Of the down-river> town;
and said that st. Paul had done just what
st. Louis did in her fight with Chicago.
I'VE have got rich, fat and lazy" said
Mr.. Hall, land have set back and let 9TH
ers get ahead Of U.s." ,,-.
