This has been declared unfair by

tacks have been made upon the church
and it's principles, and many argu-
ments advanced on the theory that
the church is attempting to dictate to
the citizens of Los Angeles and take
away their constitutional rights.
THE saloons are taxed and licensed
and why should not the churches be
taxed and licensed? l see no reason
why not" declared we'll known free

WOULD TAX ALL
CHURCH PROPERTY
MOVEMENT0N F0OTTO INVOKE
THE INITIATIVE
Report That Petitions Will Be C.r-
culated Soon by These Oppos-
ing the "No.SaIoon"
Campaign


To force the churches to pay taxes
on all church property is the object of
movement which has been quietly
worked up in Los Angeles and which
is backed by the Free Thought league
and several other clubs and organiza-
tions of like character.
The initiative is to be invoked as the
weapon by which this legislation is to
be effected, and the entire movement
is intended as an answer to the initia-
tive movement against the saloons
which is receiving the backing of prac-
tically all the churches in this city. 1t
is said petitions will soon be out.
The fight against the saloons has
called forth much unfavorable discus
sion and criticism from such clubs and
organizations as the one mentioned
the Liberal club, the Progressive club
and others, and in these discussions
the movement against the saloons has
been designated as class legislation, as
1t would not keep the rich man from
drinking all he pleased, but would pre-
vent the poor man from obtaining
liquor.

city Attorneys Views

When asked regarding the legality
of such proceeding yesterday, City
Attorney Mathews said:
Some time ago the constitution of
the state of, California was amended
so as to exempt churches and church
property from taxation, except where
churches are located in theater build
ings, or buildings used for other pur-
poses and producing a revenue to the
owners.
IAN ordinance of the kind proposed
would be invalid in my opinion and
would be Immediately declared uncon-
stitutional by the courts. AS long as
the money collected by the church is
used for church purposes, whether 1t
be raised by entertainments to which
an admission is charged, collections In
the church, or by popular subscription,
the church property is not taxable.
Should a church go into business and
raise money and use 1t for other than
church purposes, then its property is
subject to taxation.
$50 far as know all the churches in
Los Angeles which have means of pro-
ducing a revenue, and this revenue is
used for other than church purposes.

Should Build Line

Angeles forming a stock company for

the people of Los Angeles gave more
serious attention to such important en-
terprises as the building of railroads
into new territory, instead of depend
ing so much upon the tourists who
visit the coast winter and summer. The
tourists we have with us always Me-
vada is rich in minerals and the coun-
try is to be thoroughly developed and
tons of rich ore will be taken out of the
earth and converted into money. The

smelters and smelters are likely to be
maintained at Los Angeles, and from
this city great quantities Of supplies
will be purchased for the people who
will swarm to the mining camps and
towns that will spring into existence
with wonderful rapidity.

COURT HOUSE NOTES
Constable Smiles


Constable Jack" Adams, who is con-
nected with Justice Young's court, is
wearing a smile nowadays which re
fuses to come off. A pretty baby girl
has arrived at the officers home and he
is now busily engaged in receiving the
congratulations of his friends.
Committed to Asylum
Mrs. Pauline Schultz thought that
some renegade Indian had designed to
wipe her family out of existence, as
the. result of which notion she was ex-
amined yesterday before Judge Will
bur in the superior court on the charge
of insanity. Judge Wilbur committed
her to an asylum.
Soldier Insane
Martin S. Jones, an old soldier from
the north, was injured about the head
while en- route to the Soldiers home,
and yesterday he was examined before
Judge Wilbur in the superior court on
the charge of insanity. An effort will
be made to provide a home for him
at the soldiers barracks.
sues tor damages
Suit for $4,000 was filed in the super
ior court yesterday by John w. Craig
against the Oceanic Oil company for
damages alleged to have been sus-
tained by reason of the defendants
refusal to transfer to the plaintiff a
large amount of stock, alleged to have
been purchased by the plaintiff from
man named Jos. S. Bergman.
Sentence Reduced
William Morrow is positive now that
he was not particularly fascinated with
the "blue laws" which he says are in
force out at Downey, and on the
strength of the plea which he made
yesterday before Judge Smith in the
superior court the sentence imposed
upon him by justice of the peace at
Downey was somewhat relieved of its
harsh effect. Morrow was arrested on
the charge of disturbing the peace. The
justice of the peace at Downey urged
Morrow to spend sixty days in the
county Jail, and when the prisoner re-
ferred to the court in terms which were
not in the least complimentary the
justice, in order to show him that his
heart was in the right place, gave Nor
row an additional thirty. Morrow ap-
pealed to the superior court for new
trlaT on the ground of certain irregu-
larities existing in the record of the
lower court. The prisoner had his sec
ond trial yesterday before Judge Smith
in the superior court and a conviction
resulted, but the court was satisfied to
let him off with a fine of SIS or seven
days in the county Jail.
