Hold Family Reunion.

celebrated the day. They ; had
thought of going to the Baker grove
south of town but as water and
plenty of shade was available at the
home of Mr. Murphey, the gathering
was held there. Mrs. Mary Heeney
was the originator of the move, and
to her is much of the credit due for
its success. There were-there for
the occasion only those members of
the family now residing in Cass
county, and among who were John
Murphey and family, Wm. Schee-
han and family, Mis. Mary Heeney

a fine day for their gathering as well

A good time was had by all who were
in attendance and there was amose
ments for all with plenty of good
things to eat and fun for everybody.
Sure a Fine Show House.
We were permitted to view one
of the finest show houses in a mod
erate sized town last Tuesday when
we inspected the Liberty theatre
following the installation of the
new seats, the new carpet and the
painting of the entire interior, which
has been done this year. The place

in the week and every day in the
year.

Taxation Action
Taken on New
Court Decision
Sckal Case Is Said to Be the Basis
for Exempting Douglas Coun
ty Property.
The action of the county board of
Douglas county in exempting $1,250,-
000 worth of property from taxation,
the property being owned by lodgers
and secret societies, labor organiza
tions, churches and the Ak-Sar-Ben,
rescue missions and similar organ
izations, is said to be based on a new
decision of the supreme court given
last May in the case of Telocviena

owns a building in Omaha.
The district court held that this
building was not taxable. The su
preme court, without writing an
opinion, merely announced that it
found no reversible error in the case
and affirmed the judgment.
The county board of Lancaster
county last year assessed the Scot
tish Rite building in Lincoln. This
case has been appealed and i3 now
pending in the supreme court. Some
years ago the supreme court had the
same matter before it and decided
that the building was taxable. Since
then it, is alleged, commercial activ
ities once carried on in it, such as a
cafeteria, are no longer In the build
ing. State Tax Commissioner Scott was
absent Monday but it was stated at
his office that both county and state
taxation beards have power to place
taxable property on the rolls if it
has been found to have escaped tax
ation. , The constitution permits the legis
lation by law to exempt property"
owned and used exclusively for edu
cational, religious, charitable or
cemetery purposes when such prop
erty is not owned or used for finan
cial gain or profit to either the owner
or user.
Attorney General Sorensen was
also absent Monday. When asked
some months ago for a decision re
garding the taxation of business
buildings at Dawson belonging to a
church, he stated that the best case
on how this property should be tax
ed is perhaps the case of Young
Men's Christian association assess
ment, 182 N. W. 593. In that case
he says the court held in part:
"Where certain floor space in a
building owned and occupied by a
charitable organization is leased to
outside parties for the operation of
a cafeteria, open to and patronized
by the general public as well as mem
bership, the rentals being applied to
the purpose of the organization, that
portion of the building so leased is
not exempt from taxation, altho the
maintenance of the cafeteria therein
is not financially helpful to the or
ganization, but promotes its chari
table purposes by attracting people
to the building.
"That a certain portion of the
building of a charitable organization
which i3 not exempt from taxation
cannot be separated from the residue
by definite lines is no obstacle to the
assessment of the property to the ex
tent of the value of that portion
thereof which is taxable, having due
reference to the taxable value of the
entire property.
When asked whether the second
floor of a business house leased by a
Masonic lodge at Ponca for a period
of ninety-nine years is exempt from
taxation, the attorney general said
in a written statement:
"I will say that in my opinion no
part. 'of this building: is exempt -from
taxation. I presume it will not be
contended that it is used exclusively
for charitable purposes and in any
event the. owner of the building de
rives financial gain from renting it."
The entire building was taxed by
the county beard. The lodge had
agreed to pay half the tax on .the
building when it obtained the second (
floor for ninety-nine years. 1
