TAKING v. NJ. c. A. PROPERTY.

lrNHN1 v. We - ~ FheF Iht t'
Answering an inquiry from James
Robertson, county attorney for Hen
nepln county, whether Young Mems
Christian association buildings and
property belonging to churches not
used for public worship is taxable,
Attorney General Smith today ruled
that unless used for church purposes
the same is not exempt. S
He holds that a ruling to this eff.
feet has been made by several OF his
predecessors. An old ruling was to
the effect that II property was used
for religious purposes ii was exempt
from taxation, but Attorney General
Smith says the law has since been
changed TO, permit exemption only
when such property is used as q
house of worship. ....
This is taken to mean that the
Young Mems Christian association
and church organizations holding
property not used for church pur-
poses will have to pay taxes on the
same. There was a time In this coun-
try when strong agitation favored the
taxation Of church property of every
kind and description. There Is con.
siderable property owned by church
organizations that should be. taxed
but is escaping the assessment
through "a technical view Of the law

LOCAL SUGAR FACTORY
NOT TO CUT BEET PRICE
Large Acreage Signed Up For The
Coming Season

prove the productiveness Of his
farm should be to increase his
beet acreage as far as is consistent
with proper crop rotation, as it is
we'll established fact that beets
will pay better, for the time and
labor expended than any other
crop.
1t is very necessary in Sugar
Beet growing that the work be
done on time,-planting, cultivat-
ing and thinning cannot be de-
layed without serious damage to
the crop, and most important of
all, the fields should be kept free
from weeds.
If this policy is carried out the
farmer will soon discover that no
crop will respond more quickly,
nor manifest it's appreciation of
such care better than will the
Sugar Beet.
The one great advantage of rails
ing Sugar Beets is that the farmer
knows what he will receive for his
crop when harvested, as the Com
pany enters into contract with
him at a stipulated price before the
crop is planted. This benefit will
be appreciated by those who know
how the market price fiuctuates on
other farm products.
Also another great advantage Of
beet raising in this locality, where
the frosts come early in the Fall,
is the fact that the freezing of the
beets does not destroy their value,
as the Factory will receive the
frozen beets at the same contract
price.
The Company has shown an
earnest desire to cooperate with
the farmer and are glad to assist
them in every way possible. Az
their fieldmen are in close touch
with all the growers, they will be
able to render valuable service to
the farmer, and help him in many
ways.

The Monte Vista journal., 1914-01-24
The success of Sugar Beet rails
ing depends, to a large extent,
upon the methods used in plant
ing and caring for the crop.

The San Luis Valley Beet Su-
gar Co., after three seasons in this
Valley are convinced that beet
raising can be made profitable,
both to the farmer and the CON-
pany. They realize up to the
present time such has not been the
case, but feel that with proper
methods applied, and by handling
smaller tracts, and giving same the
proper attention, the farmer cannot
fail to make success of beet rails
ing.
The Company are now taking
contracts for the season of 1914 at
the same price they paid last year,
notwithstanding the fact that other
Colorado factories have cut the
price.
The farmers of the Valley are
beginning to realize the advan-
tages of beet raising, as the Com
pany now have contracts signed
for over 1900 acres, and the indi-
cations are that the total acreage
will exceed 5000 acres.
For the farmer who has had no
experience in beet culture it is
better for him to begin on a small
scale, planting five TO ten acres for
the first year instead of large
acreage, for the reason if he tries
it on large scale and has a partial
failure, it will discourage him 90
that he would be reluctant to try
the crop another year, and he
would blame the failure on the
land or climate, when really the
failure was caused by inexperience
or having larger acreage than he
could properly care for.
However, the ultimate aim oi
the farmer who is trying to i'm

THE TAX MIDDLE

The board of county commits
sioners, assessor and county attor-
ney met at Monte Vista Friday
afternoon to discuss the matter of
county and state assessments
There seems to be a general dis
sent of the taxpayers of the state
to the supreme courts decision
sustaining the action of the state
tax commission and the board of
equalization. The attorneys of
the state are free to express their
opinion that the minority of the
court have the best of the argu-
ment.
A request for rehearing on the
opinion was filed Thursday. In
case a rehearing is not granted, an
effort will be made to take the case
to the U. s. Supreme court. In
the event that court refuses to take
jurisdiction, then the alternative
will be second levy which will
take a month to extend and pre-
pare for the collection Of the taxes
for 1913.
The injustice is that the large
corporations will be assessed less
than their share, while the balance
OF the taxpayers will have their
valuation increased 1l7a per cent.
