THE JEFFERSONTAN

7eyaa Christian Adpocate demanded that the
endowments Of religious, church controlled
schools should be exempted from taxation. we
said NO!
The highest law of the land .forbids it, The
principle Of the separation of Church and
State forbids it.
1t is true that our Public School authori-
ties are permitting the Roman Catholics to
trample upon our law in that respect, by tax
Ing our public school money to support the
pope's religious schools in Macon, Savannah
and Augusta.
But the situation would not 0e bettered by
allowing other churches to do the same thing.
The remedy IS, to continue the agitation Of
the subject until we elect State School Com
missioner who Will not be the servlle tool Of
the Roman Catholics.
To exempt from taxation the cndowments
of religious schools, is equivalent to appro-
priating that amount of money out of the
State treasury.
To give church school a tax-exemption of
$1,000 is to donate 81 600 to a religious insti-
tuition
The Atlanta Constitution talks against
"Taxing Education"
That's all bosh.
The State does not tax education. On the
contrary, the State taxes herself most hber-
ally for education.
But if any church is dissatisfied with the
educational institutions provided by the State,
and wants other schools, taught and controlled
bv the church, let the church support such
schools.
The State cannot aid church education with
out violating the foundation principles upon
which our democratic institutions rest
/ am astonished at Bishop Gambler.
II the Roman Catholics were asking for ap-
preparations out Of the State treasury, what
would his attitude be?
If the Jews demanded exemption of the
Jewish sectarlan schools, what would he think
Of it?
IF we Baptists were to ask exemption from
taxation for the endowment OF Mercer Uni
versty, would he endorse the application?
Call halt, Gentlemen
We have gone too far already in exempt
ing churches from taxation.
To be consistent. and to be in line with the
Z. s. Constitution. we should tax all churches.
It is not right to compel the non-religious
to contribute to the support of churches, but
we do that very thing when we throw upon
the non-religous propOrtlOnate share Of the
taxes which the churches do not pay
Whenever a sect cannot maintain its insti-
tutions by the voluntary offerings of the sec
tarians. it ought to shut up shop.
It is morally and religiouslv bankrupt, and
no longer serves the purpose Of it founders.
