Taxation of Church Property. Editor H eadlight By your kind permission I would like to 1 state my views ou Taxation of Church P.operty. The total value of church property in the United States, by the census of 18X) was shown to be $679,694,439. It is estimated that we may fairly allow an increase of thirty million dollars for each year since 1890. that sum being put into church buildings annually. This would make the grand total of church property at this time in the United Stare« $8^9,69^.439. No taxation without representation seems to de mand a correlative— no representation with out taxation. So long as any kind of private property is subject to taxation, shall not all kinds be equally subject? E«eh person invests his property where be believes it will yield him. the largest dividend. One man uts a thousand dollars into a church, and another the same amount into a Masonic Hall. Is there any reason why the latter should pay the taxes on both sums? It is plainly an injustice to com pel him to do so. Could anything be more absurd, than the exemption of a million dollar church from taxation, built and patronized by wealthy people while the small storesand shops of men and woman, who can barely make a liviug, are being taxed to the extreme limit? “Church property is nonproductive/’ is giv en as a reason for its not being taxed. Admit that it is; there is a vast amount of other pro perty which is nonprodur'lve. Shall it also be exem t from taxation? Men pit Into various enterprises much more than they are able to get out of them. Shall this Im productive se cular property go tin taxed by the state? Why should non productive ecclesiastical property be exempt while nonproductive secular property is taxed? The homes of the people, from the labor r’s Cottage to the millionaire’« mansion are non productive, fro »1 he hour they are completed until they are destroyed by fi.e. or fl »0 1 or by slow process of decay. They are continually re- qniri ig repairs, alterations an 1 additions, all of which costs money that returns neither in terest, profit or wages to him who spends it. It may be urged that those houses are in a man ner productive, because if their owners did not have them they would b • coii|»elled to pay rent. And if the congregations did not build and own their churches they would be under the neces sity of hiring halls aud paying rent therefor. So, viewed in this light, churches also are pro ductive property. But as a mutter of fact are ^churches nonproductive? In many of them pews are rented at prices which put them out of the reach of all but the weathly, making these churches Sunday club room» for the rich; Also the churches are collection office« and work shops; in them are gathered moat of the money which pay the salaries of the one hun dred and twelve thousand, or more, clergymen, aud, in them, these clergymen do much of the work which entitles them to their pay. Here also am collected the enormous sums, which maintain great missionary boards, thus furnish Opposite Z=ost Office. women. Why should the salaries of those ' any iiingiigine.
