The opin ion affirmed- Judge L. H. McMa han of th,e Marion county circuit court who held for the defen dants. V "It was' arffued By plaintiff that it Is a benevolent, literary and scientific society." read the opinion. "We cannot adopt this view as those terms are used in the statute, designating the prop erty exempt from taxation in this state: There is nothing in the ar ticle of incorporation of the plaintiff to show that its business, object or pursuit constitutes eith er benevolence, ehariiy, literature : i-u- K,.cin1 ;iaf0. th.t u Is a corporation for the benefit i and convenience of its own mem - bers.. It has n'o legal connection with Willamette university The plaintiff was incorporated in 192 2. We infer from the com- plaint and argument that taxes were assessed and collected from similar fraternities In this state then and theretofore. That fact is pursua?ve that the public pol icy of the state required such so cieties to pay taxes on the house occupied and owned by them. The J court should not so construe the statute as to change . that polioyf If a change is to be made the leg islature or the people, through party at the Edison home, dinner to b eheld in New York City, trip to Coney Island,' and sight seeing tour of New York.
