Catholic institution will take their eaten into court, according to Ed ward r . Leary, who represents sev rral charitable establishment in Omaha. , "When the county board met with the board of equalization in Omaha lust June," said Mr. Leary, "the members of the latter board stated that taxation of educational, religious or charitable institutions was a mat ter of law, and suggested that the subject be referred to the assistant attorney general of 'Nebraska, the county attorney of Douglas county and the state board of taxation. :. "At least SO institutions were rep resented at that meeting and the consensus of opinion was that there could be no tax of educational, re ligious or charitable institutions un der the new constitution and (statutes, unless such institutions can show a net profit during the year, "Whether an institution is making money or not is a legal proposition, Mr, Leary explained. 1 hough Crcighton has an endowment fund that reaches probably . $3,000,000, which produces a goodly sum every year, it docs not make a cent profit as the money is turned into educa tion. Though Creighton medical charges a small .tuition to its stu dents, it costs the 'college at least :$600 a year for each one. Is there profit in running a college on that plan? "Merely because an institution 'charges a tuition or takes in some money by other means, it is no sign there is a net profit," Mr. Leary emphasized. Thinks Y. M. C. A. Exempt. ' "I think the Omaha Y. M. C. A. Is exempt from taxation," said M. 'A., Hall, member of the board of directors of the Y. M. C.

The de cision held that any section of the associations building not being used ' ;for purppses of the association lltiight be taxed but that the remain der was exempt. -iiii"None of the Omaha Y. M. C. A. imilding space is rented to any out- . side interest, hence I think it is ex empt. It may be that under the new Jaw Mr. Osborne is right. I'll, have to study the law. But I think not. jjn case my Investigation proves I'm Correct we will appeal tothe county ;ROard of equalization, then, if suc cessful, to the district court. "I! Mr. Hall said the supreme court 'id held , that the Lincoln Scottish Rite cathedral was subject to taxa tion and .that he believed the de cision would apply to the Scottish Kite cathedral here.
