assaults upon the State Republican

responsive chord everywhere. and he
went from one meeting place to an

about him.
Two Halls Packed.
The Colonial theater. In Elmira,

standing room to several hundred
more, was entirely inadequate, and
when he had finished his appeal for
his measure, the governor went out

IN DANGER

Rushed to Puerta Plata
That City Being ShelIed by
Dominica Boats
Revolution Headquarters IN the
Beleagued City ....

Washington. Sept. 8.-Puerta Plata,
in the dominican republic where a revo-
luton Is in progress is being shelled by
dominican gunboats with great danger
to American lives and property ac-
cording to a report from j. NJ. Estevan,
American vice counsel. The gunboat
Des Moines is on the way there.
The Des Moines is at Guantanamo,
coaling for the run to Puerto Plata,
where 1t is due tomorrow. Puerto
Plata has been in the hands of
dominican rebels ever since the latest
revolution started with the announce
ment that the governor of that state
had seeded from allegiance to the
central government. The present
danger to Americans and property
comes from an attempt of the domini-
can government to force the rebel
stronghold to capitulate.
Until the receipt of today's dispatch
es, the state department officials had
not thought the fiare-up serious. 1t
is supposed the leader of the uprising
is Hector Velasquez, one time provi-
sional president Of the republic. The
American interests in Puerta Plata
are small. 1t is thought number of
Porto Ricans recently entered the
business community there.

commissioners it is your business we
are attempting to manage, in such a
manner as will be most beneficial to
the city and all concerned. On next
Wednesday morning, at the city hall,
between 10 and IL o'clock the matter
of appropriations or annual tax budget
will be under discussion. At that time
there will arise the question whether
the levy for 1918 tax for the city shall
contain the sum which will fairly pay
for the water used by the city for
general purposes, such as street
sprinkline flushing streets and sewers,
fire protection and the upkeep and re-
pair of hydrants and mains. 1t is
certain that if the tax against the
property benefited does not pay for

PROPERTY
UNAFFECTED u

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 8.-The en-
tire state is much interested in a re-
| cent opinion handed down by Attor-
ney General Miller relative to the
assessment Of certain properties which
have hitherto been exempted. This
opinion holds that portions of the
9tsa eYenafti isas asayv Isl In con aigta with
section 1T6 Of The state const fttion,
This section of the constitution ex-
empts from taxation all property used
exclusively for school, religious, ceme-
terry and charitable purposes, as well
as federal, state, city, county, town
ship and school property. The attor-
ney generals Office is of the opinion
that hospitals, which are exempted
under paragraph 6 of the 1913 law,
and lodges, posts. chapters, COM
manderies, etc., exempted by the same
law, are taxable under section 176 of
the constitution.
The report has gained circulation
throughout the state that this opinion in
some manner affects religious institu-
tions. The opinion does not touch upon
religious institutions Of any description
hot even dormitories owned and
operated by religious societies. 1t
does not give any authority for plac-
ing upon the tax rolls any property
owned by a religious body and ex-
empted by chapter 208 of the session
laws of 1913. The attorney generals
opinion, which was written by Judge
Carmody, is as follows:
Section 176 of the constitution re-
quires the legislature to pass laws ex-
empting property used exclusively for
school, religious, cemetery, or charit-
able purposes, and personal property
to any amount not exceeding in value
5000 for each individual liable to taxa
ton. 1t also exempts from taxation
all property Of the United States and
the state. county and municipal cor
porations. Under this section of the
constitution, in my opinion, para
graphs l. 2, 3, A, S, 6, Z, and are
constitutional. Paragraph 8 Of said
section Is in my mind unconstitutional,
as / do not believe that section comes
within the provisions Of section 176 OF
the state constitution. In my opinion
chapter $50 of the session laws of
1913, amending section 14S4 of the re-
vised codes of 1905, is unconstitutional
as follows: Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
Z, and 81
I'm my opinion all that part of Sec
tion that attempts TO exempt from
taxation public hospitals under the
control Of religious or charitable
societies used wholly or in part for
public charity Is unconstitutional as
the hospital must be used wholly for
charities" Il
Il think section 8 is wholly uncon-
stitutional."
1t is understood that Judge Carmody
based his opinion upon the exemptions
of hospitals on Engstad VS.. Grand
Forks county, 10. N. ID. 81.
AS regards fraternal societies the
constitution of North Dakota differs
from that OF most states in that it
does not exempt from taxation
benevolent societies and the attorney
general Of North Dakota does not be-
lieve lodges and Kindred organizations
are either exclusively charitable or
educational The only exemptions
are the constitution under which they
could come.
