The tax question is all right,

We have never been able to see
why there should be any exemp.

and most heartily believe that
every church, lodge, and other
human association should pay
its share for the support of the
government whose benefits it
enjoys. We have never been
able to see any valid reason TO r
exemption and don't believe
that there are any. However.
the custom is so firmly rooted
that there is little hope for its
ever being changed, and it
might as well be accepted as
natural thing. To be consistent,
all mutual properties should be
exempted, and this will be le-
