Lebanon Express. H. Y. KIRKJPATRICK, Editor - and Proprietor SOCIETIES MOTXrVCEIX The supreme inirt will eoon be called upon to decide m iu teresting and Important question: between the assessor of Multnomah county nd tbechurche. Herato fore the assessor ha omitted U church property from the. roll. In thii way, thousand.' of dollar of property, which bring In Urge return to, the churoiie, ' have. (scaped taxation. In the m condition are the niuj benevolent institutions in the oounty. The new assessor, has included in hi lut all such property, exeeptingJ only such a if wad oliy for church Br eharitable' purpoe claiming lhi it the hiw. He baa thus stirred; np a iuge hornet' nest, every hornet with a different appearance, but all bant in getting their atingeii into the assessor, far daring to di) his duty s th law provide. At first glance, the mat ter would em lo be of little mo ment either an way or the other. But a mora careful inquiry will diselorf the fact that then so cietie own I vast amount of prop erty, iomt of which i wed for the peculiar par poe for wiich the so cietie is formed, while a Taut amount is teased at lege profit Many thodghiful jopl claim, that o much of tbi property a i used, by 4h ohurchi-for iuataaoe, for placi of worship, should be free from taxation, ' while others claim that all property thu owned should b ien3pt. Other do not think any should be exempt. The assessor seems to be right and the court will likely sustain him. All property ihould beat it equal and just proportion of the necessary tax to b Wised. 'laxr re quired to defray tm expense of maintaining the goTnimit, in order that equal protection to all men and all" property assy be -lured. The mora property a man or a ocity -may a?, th more desirous be or the society is for this proteetion. If no protection is given, then h who baa rr.ost will likely lose most Ghurcbe and other ucb inititutionaown more or less property. They are never backward in demanding am pi pro tection froqr the government nd they rceiv it as freely c th ord inary individual. Other people pay for it, then why not the so cieties, when tbey ara but the ag gregate of individuals? The wealth of.individual U taaedj. When this wealth is contributed by tbsv in dividual and put into a corpora tion or society, the tat still fol lows this tarn wealth with it tax nen. i n wealth of cnuronca i contributed by individual. Then why should not the state still fol low this ame wealth with It tax lien ? Of course, th argument is that th churches, with the other societies are a substantial public benefit, nd should, for this reason not b taxed, fur in that vent their power for goad would be laawued by the amount required in tsaeg. It cab well be admitted, that church and othr sociatia do an immense deal of good. But can it be said, that this) good i real! a public good? No man cast enter the membership of any church of hi own right, but ht must be ad mitted. Tar leal can a man of hi own right become a member of the Masons ot th Odd fellows. There is no appeal to th law in sue he is refuted admission. Thea tbtse societies are cot really -fublic. It is claimed that cburohes and socie ties do much ohsrity work. Thst is very true. But whoever heard of one denomination earing for the poor of another denomination, or of the Masons' sitting up itb sick Odd Fellows. Each church and society coo ft lit it charity very properly to it own member, and thus they art not really public benefactor!. .
