A Matter of Tax Exemption

Judge Ira A. Abbott over Mt Albu.
querque has had rather a nice point of
law passed up to him in the shape of
a suit for taxes brought against tue
Masons and Odd Fellows of the Du Ike
City. The fraternities claim that thy
are empted under the law Of 1905, but
the assessor and many very excellent
lawyers contend that they are not, so
that the Judge will have to pass on the
point. In this connection il is on inter.
esiing fact that in most of the counties
OF the territory real estate belonging to
the various territories enjoy the same
exption from taxes as DO the churches,
and no matter what the value of the
holdings may be they pay nothing into
the common treasury, although OF course
they are directly liable in all matters of
special assessment such as paying, aud
may be required to build sidewalks. in.
stall sewerage aud all that sort Of thing.
All of which was all right in the early
life of the territory, but for one | can
see no earthly reason why there should
be any exemption from general taxation,
especially since we are now passing into
q fixed form of government, or why ANY
fraternity or any religious denomination
should bc protected in such n way. The
fraterni.ies are strictly close corpora.

maintained for the use of their members

the ease. 1t is a correct principle that

Who are the Heathen7

A laymen g missionary convention was
recently being held in a nearby town.
Laymen were in charge of the meeting,
and we take it for granted that lay
men were required TO do the talking.
And speaking from the standpoint of an
innocent bystander, it seems good to us
that somebody besides the preachers
would take part in the great movement
to ovangelize the world. No greater
task was ever undertaken han that of
disseminating the gospel of Christianity
throughout the world, yet in times past
this task has been thrown almost entire.
ly upon the preachers. These patient
brethren have borne their share of the
burden but they have done wonderful
work aud made wonderful progress. We
appreciate the debt of gratitude
that the human race owes to the men
who have carried the glad tidings of
Christianity to the peoples of the earth.
But the preachers cannot do it all. IL is
high time that the bench. warmers in the
congregation get into the game and lin.
Der up their lazy legs. The layman can
be a live man ii he will, and he could
talk like II Dutch uncle if he would.
We are glad to see the boys take hold
and help the heather. And in helping
the heather they are helping themselves
and adding strength to their own char.
acters and the power to do good.
There are many sides to missionary
and many problems that will re.
unsolved. The heather are not
all across the sea nor in the iunglcs of
the forest. No race, no country and no

CHEAP FARES TO
Be ABOLISHED
Traffic Managers Consider Elim-
ination of all Special Rates
Western Roads Balk Because of
Colonists.

CHICAGO, July 5.-Western rail-
roads are considering the advisable
ity of abolishing all special rates, in
Guiding colonist rates. and making .
cents the minimum for all travellers
and all occasions.
The movement is the revival of
movement started over a year ago.
The executive committe of the West
ern Pa Jenger association has taken
=, question up at the instance of the
presidents.
Beyond agreeing that it would be
sound economically to do away with
all reduced rates for special occasions,
all summer tourist rates and all
home--seekers' and colonists' rates,
the executive committe has done
nothing. 1t has been decided to meet
again in the near future and see how
far the western roads can go in the
way of disseminating reduced rates
The trouble in getting an agree
ment is that quite number of the
roads have certain classes of business
which they are unwilling to give up.
Some of the transcontinental lines de-
sire to continue to attract people to
the Pacific coast by reduced rates for
conventions, and roads leading to the
Northwest and Southwest are loath
to abandon the large colonist bust
ness by which thousands of acres Of
land are being settled every year.
During the spring colonist move
ment, for example, more than 3d.
600 persons found new homes in the
Northwest. The order OF the presi-
dents, however, is imperative to the
effect that some advancement must
be made toward abolition OF reduced
rates for passenger travel
