strike was marked BY disorder ,rur

taken from a Missouri, Kansas and

beaten badly. Cox was employed
as a strike breaker in the Katy

warned by Union men to leave
town.
Two men were beaten at San
Bernardino, Calf, by a crowd OF
strike sympathizers including wo-
men.
Previous threats of the strike
spreading to the train service EN-

the conference of big four" broth

York Central apparently had pre-
vented a strike of clerks on its
lines. Ill.,. .,,

Parsons, Kansas, remained quiet

there. Parsons was one of the cen

Saint Paul reported one of the

Union headquarters Of the str1k-

statement deploring the :, reported

"an orderly, well disciplined
strike" >-.. ..
The statement threw the blame
for any lawlessness on irresponsi-

and United States marshals. The
strikers sought the support Of pub

COLLEGE MUST PAY TAXES

Opinion Affecting Carleton


Opinion Affecting Carleton
Faribault, July 13.-Carieton COL
lege' will have to meet its tax obli.
cations on property claimed exempt
from taxation in as recent regal
battle in district court, according to
a decision handed down by District
Judge Arthur B. Childress. ,
The taxes from which the college
claimed exemption and contested in
court today approximately $4,000
along with penalties for delinquency
in payment.
A lengthy memorandum accompa
MES the decision of Judge Childress,
in which he cites various points OF
Several cases similar to the one to
Carleton's are also cited.
Judge Childress places special en-
Phasis upon the question OF taxa
ton of property owned by the col
lege, but not located on the college
campus. In this connection he says :
1T has been settled policy of the
state to exempt from taxation all
property owned by a college and To-
Gated upon its campus, and TO tax
such property when not located up.
on the campus, especially where ii
is located in the plated residence
portion of the city. Any change
along this line should in my judg-
ment be the resalt of decision Of
the highest couft in the state. or by
constitutional amendment"
Continuing, the judge said: "The
decisions OF the court are not OF
much help in solving this problem
but the Seabury Mission case helps
some. In that case the property was
held exempt from taxation because
it had generally not been taxed.
"..n the case Of st. Peters church
vs.. Scott county, 1t was held that
that the house occupied by the pas.
tor of a church was not exempt and
/ do not think residence occupied
by member Of the faculty entitled
to exemption any more than one oc-
cupied by pastor Of a church.
"If the properties herein are to be
held free from taxation think that
decision should be pronounced by
the supreme court
article 8, Section 1, Of the con
stitution Of Minnesota provides that
dCdU0tulSS,- COlic6cc, uulNSlpLSACJ1
and all seminaries Of learning shall
be exempt from taxation and 1t is
under this provision Of the ,constitu-
tion that the college now claims that
all the property herein involved is
exempt from taxation.
"In County Of Hennepin VS.. Bro
therhood of Gethsemar1e 81 MINI.
4S0 1t was held that two lots ad-
joining a hospital and, contained
within the same enclosure and upon
which vegetables were raised and
used in said hospital were exempt
from taxation but it is to be noted
that in the case Of State vs., st.
Barnabas Hospital 95 MINI. 4s9 (de-
cided "a years later) farm belong
ing to the hospital but not adjoining
or adjacent to it was held to be
not exempt from taxation. .......
THE provisions Of the constitu.
ton comprehend all buildings used
for college purposes and the ground
covered by them and any other
ground attached thereto which are
reasonably necessary for the purro-
ses of the college. but they do not
include property detached from the
campus where the college buildings
are located" .-
