MONEY UP; NO TAKERS.
No One Cares to Bet Against the
Election Of Cole.
From Fridays Daily.

The st. Paul Dispatch says that con-
siderable Cole money for betting pur-
poses is posted up over the state, but
it is said there has been but few takers
so far. Chairman Cole while in Mime
apolis yesterday expressed the wish to
place little OH his brother, but he had
to come away disappointed. United
States Marshall Grimshaw is reported as
having posed $500 in Minneapolis cigar
store with no takers. He now wants to
cut it up in small pieces, but even with
this concession has found it hard, so far,
to find any one on the other side will
ing to take the risk.

CHURCH PROPERTY STATUS.
Attorney General Young Gives Op-
inion on Tex Amendment.
From Thursdays Daily.


Attorney General Young has received
a number of inquiries of late as to his
opinion of the provision relating to the
exemption of church property, contained
in the so-called wide open tax amend
ment" to tie state constitution which
is to be voted upon at the coming cleo.
ton, says The St. Paul Dispatch.
These inquiries have come from all
over the state, and today the attorney
general sent out letter in reply to all
inquiries, some of which came from
Duluth, and some from Minneapolis.
Attention was called to the attorney
general of the fact that the present con-
stitutional provision exempts church
es. church property used for religious
purposes, houses of worship, etc , while
in the proposed amendment the same
language is used except the words "used
for religious purposes" are omitted.
The inquiries have stated that because
of the omitted words the amendment
might be construed to exempt from tax
alton all property owned by church or
CARNATIONS whether used for religious
purposes or not.
In his communication to those asking
for information, the attorney general
says:
"In my opinion, the omission of the
words referred to will not and could
not, have the effect feared by the
critics.
He further says: 'In the first place
it is universal rule of construction
that laws providing for exemptions from
taxation will be strictly construed, SO
that one claiming an exemption must
bring himself clearly within the terms
Of the law. In such laws nothing is to
be implied. The courts will give the
language used its narrowest meaning.
I'm the second place it is universally
held, under the exemptions OF this kind
where church property OF school proper
ty is referred to that it is the use and
not the ownership that is the test of
the exemption.
Under these rules no court or indi-
vidual could go astray in determining
the meaning OF the term Church prop
erty' as used in Is amendment. The
same question was before the court in
People VS.. Camp Meeting association, 100
III. SO (579), where the court says:
by the term church property as
used in the statute is plainly meant the
church as defined by Webster to be a
building set apart for Christian worship
and a lot of reasonable size for its
location"
1t is the well established policy in this
and other states to exempt from taxa
ton only such property owned by re-
ligious organizations rs is used strictly
for church purposes. The legislature
never thought of changing that policy.
The words referred to were omitted be-
cause they were unnecessary and there
fore bad English. The words used for
religious purposes in connection with
the term church property would not,
i'll this law, make its meaning clearer.
1t is its use that determines its char
acter, and to be church property it must
be used exclusively for church purposes"

One of the cardinal principles of the
Grand Army OF the Republic is that it
is non-political and non-partisan. In
the face of this fact, the Grand Army
veterans of Beltrami county have enter
ed politics and thus violated the princi-
piles of the organization. This action was
taken to advance the interests of Mr..
Pendergast of Bemidji, the democratic
candidate for lieutenant governor. Those
veterans sent out circular letter eX-
tolling Mr.. Pendergast and assailing Mr..
Eberhart, the republican nominee for
lieutenant governor. In response, mem
bers of ~the Wilkin post of the Grand
Army at Mankato has taken the matter
up an dissued an address to the veterans
of the state. They deprecate the bring
ing of politics into the Grand Army as
strictly prohibited and without dispar-
aging Mr.. Pendergast, claim it is unfair
to cite his record in the war as against
a man who was not born at the time
of the great struggle. They cite that
in the legislature, Mr.. Eberhart was
chairman of the committee on military
affairs and secured the passage through
the senate of nearly all legislation in
favor of the military organization of
this state and particularly the Mime
sofa National Guard. The address thus
concludes:
"We have been well acquainted with
Senator Eberhart for the last fifteen
years, and know that his is a person of
unquestioned ability, integrity and char
acter, that he is friend of the old SOL
der and worthy of their friendship in
return"

calm Judgment of the republican voters
is in favor of returning Minnesota to
the fold this year and removing the
state from the doubtful column. 1t is
just as important this year to resolve
that you will under no circumstances
fail to east your vote as it is to de-
termine how you will vote.
The fact that the democrats are max
ing the entire campaign upon the one
single office of governor is an unusual
thing. Congress, the legislature, the
state officers and all the county officers
are relegated to the background and
their everlasting salvation or the re-
newal for the democrats is staked upon
tie election of governor. Quite nat
urally the democrats will vote for the
reelection of Johnson and even more nat
urally the republicans can find every
reason for voting for Cole:
Because he stands for the regulation
and revision OF railroad rates.
Because he stands for reducing fares
to two cents per mile.
Because he stands for draining the
swamp lands owned by the state and
putting them into the market as agri-
cultural lands.
Because he stands for equal and exact
taxation of every interest, including the
lumbermen who have SO long escaped
bearing their share of the burdens.
Because he stands for wise immigra-
ton work and the building up of Min
nesota both in wealth and population.
Because he stands for state develop
ment in the wisest and broadcast sense.
And because every interest in the
state, public and private, will be pro-
tected with Albert l.. Cole in the COVER
nor's chair.
