OVER LICENSE REFUNDS

Centerville. $. d., May 22.-Judge
Trip. of the state circuit court of the
First Circuit, has concluded hearing
arguments in AN interesting test case
involving the refunding by the Center
Vile city council of a little over $500
each to Harry Hewett and Frank Grit
fin. the money having been advanced
by the two men with their application
for a permit to sell Intoxicating liquors
In Centerville. The city councillor at
least three members of it--voted to
have the money refunded. but Mayor
Egg refused to sign the warrants, on
the ground that the state law gives no
authority for returning such money and
on the further ground that no money
may be paid out. even IL permitted by
law. without the Vote of two-thirds of
the members of the city council. Mayor
Eee held that with only three members
OF the city council voting for the re-
funding OF the money and one against
he would be violating his oath of office
If he signed the warrants. AS the case
directly involves the powers of city
councils to appropriate and refund sa-
loon license money and what proper
ton of the members of the city council
is necessary to appropriate money, the
decision OF Judge Trip is awaited with
a great deal of interest.

terial Errors.

Pierre. S. D.. May 22.-Judge j.
Hcward Gates of the supreme court. has
completely annotated the state consti-

tions affecting ZACH section as we'll as
much historical material illustrative of

section he has given a list OF all acts

ments to the constitution with the vote
upon each is shown in the proper place

Judge Gates compared the proofs

OF which are very material and en-
tirely change the meaning of the docu-
ment.
This annexation will appear in the

London. May 22-Nothing further has

ment that the health of former Pre-
mier Balfour is likely to preclude his
acceptance of the post of first lord Of

Walkers mysteriousness consisted in
the fact that he refused to divulge the

that he received numerous kilograms

Experiments with house flies recent
ly made abroad seem to Indicate that
they tend to travel either against or
across the wind. This direction may be.
directly determined by the action OF
the wind. or Indirectly. owing to the
flies being attracted by odors borne by
the wind. Fine weather n warmth
favor dispersal, and flies travel farther
in the open country than in towns
probably because the houses offer food
and shelter. In thickly housed locali-
ties the usual maximum flight is about
a quarter of a mile. but in one case II

Abatement OF TAXES
Members of County Boards Are

Fierre. s. d.. Man PA general up

IN taxation matters will result from
the opinion of the attorney general to
the tax commission in relation to the
abatement of axes The attorney gen
eral holds that only for three definite
reasons may taxes be refunded. not
wlthstanding the general practice to
refund In cases where it is claimed
theN have been enormously charged
The recognized causes are: First,
when it appears that the full amount OF
taxes assessed against real property
cannot he realized by a sale of the
property; second. where it ppear that
real estate has been offered for sale
two successive years n received no
voucher on account of depreciation of
the value of the property; and. third.
where it appears that the property
assessed has been DESTROYED by fire.

If they are abated in any other cir
cuinstances whatever, the members or
the boards become personally liable to
the county for the taxes unlawfully

general. Any statutory provision, in

Sloners %refunding taxes claimed to
have been enormously assessed is lack

On Church Exemptions.
Exemption from taxation for relig-
ious property depends upon whether 1t
is used for that Attorney
general Caldwell rules to the tax COM
mission that the portion of section
2O56 of the political code. relating to
taxation exemption of property belong
ing to religious and benevolent soci-
cites is unconstitutional and void, and
operative only to the extent that it ex-
empts property that is used exclu-
sively for charitable = or religious
purposes"
The constitution provides exemption
of taxation on property used exclu-
sively for such purposes, and expressly
forbids more than that. The supreme
court has held that the use to which
the property is put determines it's ex-
emption from taxation, so that the

is owned by religious and charitable
societies. O not. hold.
Therefore. ~parsonages and the land
they are upon are not exempt, and the
same rule applies to vacant lots owned
by the churches or charitable Societies.,
Or to other buildings owned by such
societies, il the buildings are not used
for religious purposes.
