DEFINES MANAGEABLE WATERS

That waters of the state which are
In general use for boating, hunting,
trapping and recreation purposes are
"navigable" waters under the law of
court in the case of Ole n. Flisrand
VS.. Chris Madison ct al, from Kings
bury county, in an opinion written by
Justice Mccoy, say a Pierre dispatch.
One Of the issues in the case was the
title to a small island in Lake Albert,
which covers an area of about twenty
five acres, and which has been held by
Madison for a long series OF years by
right of possession. Some years ago
Lake Albert practically dried up and
Flisrand claimed title to the land to
the center of the lake under reelection
rights, which would give him an addi-
ton of POI acres to his farm, and
which would include the island held
by Madison. While it was this particu-
lar dispute which brought on the issue
the court in the case holds in effect
that the title of the state in "navig-
able" streams and lakes extends to or
binary high water mark, where the alb
solute title of the property owner ends.
But a different statute gives the ripar-
ian owner title to low water mark, and
these apparently conflicting statutes
are harmonized in the holding that
the absolute title Of the riparian owner
ends at the high water line, but he
has qualified title to ordinary low
water mark, subject to the use of the
strip by the public, the same as Il
highway. This decision which is in
line with decisions Of the courts of
Iowa, Illinois and Minnesota, will go a
long way toward settling disputes over
title and riparian rights along many
of the lakes in the state, which have
at times advanced and receded in the
amount of area covered and the depth
of the water.

sioners refunding taxes claimed to
have been enormously assessed is
lacking, except in the instances men
toned.
Exemption from taxation for relig-
ious property depends upon whether it
is used for that purpose. Attorney
General Caldwell rules to the tax com
mission that the portion of section
2056 of the political code, relating to
taxation exemption of property belong.
ing to religious and benevolent So
cieties is unconstitutional and void,
and operative only to the extent that
it exempts property that is used eX-
clusively for charitable, or religious
purposes"
The constitution provides exemption
of taxation on property used exclusive
ly for such purposes, and expressly
forbids more than that. The supreme
court has held that the use to which
the property is put determines its ex-
emption from taxation, so that the sta
tute more broadly eXempting it if 1t
is owned by religious and charitable
societies, does not hold.
Therefore. parsonages and the land
they are upon are not exempt, and the
same rule applies to vacant lots own
ed by the churches or charitable So
c~ieties, or to other buildings owned by
such societies, if the buildings are not
used for religious purposes.

MOUNT VERNON. THE HOME OF WASH
lNGTON


From the Washington Herald. April II.
BY j. f.. Jones, with thirty-three ~lllustra-
lions. u. S, Press Association. Washington,
ID. c. 800 net.
The beauties OF Mount Vernon, and n
short account of its Interesting history are
written about in an exceptionally delightful
way in the above-named book of Atty pages.
The author shows himself to be thoroughly
acquainted with the subject, and In an easy
manner takes one from Washington TO
Mount Vernon, there to depict in detail the
well-marked points OF the greatest object OF
interest. Although the book is written from
a literary standpoint, as is evidenced by a
concise and graceful style, it would well act
as "A guide for the pilgrim visiting Mount
Vernon for the first time. and especially so
for the visitor who has n deep regard for
the traditions which clothe the nations
greatest shrine.
Each visitor Will be the better and wiser
for the reading of this volume. and In laying
1t aside will surely be impressed with great
feelings of reverence for the founder of this
republic. The volume is not only valuable
for its educational matter. and as a
thoroughly good guide. but also as an ex-
ample of fine book-making. The execution
is perfect; the printers art never better
shown, and the Illustrations are such as to
command the admiration of all. 1t con-
tains exceptionally well executed half tones
OF the Mount Vernon Home. the Potomac,
the grounds. as also of George and Martha
Washington. In the description OF the parts
of the house, the out-buildings. and the var
ious utensils, the manner Of living at Mount
Vernon 100 years ago is plainly painted, and
the difficulties clearly set forth by COMPARE
son with the unbounded resources OF our
own time.
The story of Washington never can be
told too often. His spirit should ever per-
meate the people OF the land. The great
work he did. stands as an example for all
time, and his devotion to his country, his
self-sacrihclng. his long enduring toll, and
above all ms exalted patriotism. will ever
make him the exemplar OF the nation. He
is truthfully portrayed by the author of
this little book. 1t is a book all should
read.

REDUCES TAX PRIVILEGES

A general upheaval over the state of
South Dakota in taxation matters will
result from the opinion of the attor-
ney general to the tax commission in
relation to the abatement of taxes,
says a Pierre dispatch. The attorney
general holds that only for three
definite reasons may taxes be refund
ed, Notwithstanding the general prac-
tice to refund in cases where it is
claimed they have been Enormously
charged"
The recognized causes are: First,
when it appears that the full amount
of taxes assessed against real prop
erty cannot be realized by a sale Of the
property; second, where it appears
that real estate has been offered for
sale two successive years and receiv-
ed no voucher on account of deprecia-
ton of the value Of the property; and
third, where it appears that the prop
erty assessed has been destroyed by
FIRE, cyclone or other unavoidable cas
ualty.
II they r abated in any other cir
cumstances whatever. "the members
of the boards become personally liable
to the county for the taxes unlawfully
abated or refunded" says the attorney
general. Any statutory provision, in
any way leagalizing the common prac'
tice over the state Of county commits
