Argentine wheat is offered abroad at

turn the export business away from this

idea being based uPOn the removal or

in conjunction with a Iessened move

from the action of wheat, although mar

p purdue Frat Houses
Tax Question Raised

Taxation of Greek letter fraternity
houses at Purdue University, In West
Lafayette, may depend on the ruling Of
the attorney general, who has been asked
to give an opinion on the subject Tax
alton of the fraternity property was
asked in a petition of West Lafayette
citizens received by the tax board.
Investigation by a representative of
the tax board disclosed the fact that the
property of the fraternities and sororitles
does not appear to be under the control
of the university authorities. 1t was
learned that the fraternities have paid
taxes for fifteen years on their property
and only last year attempted to take ad
vantage of exemption.
Steps are being taken by college fra
ternity men all over the State to resist
any attempt at taxing the fraternity
property.
