FRATERNITIES NAME 310 PLEDGES AT CLOSE OF RUSHING ACTIVITIES
October Hearing to Be Next Step in Taxation Case
Postponement Is Necessary
if Fraternity Issue
Agreement Is
Not Made
INJUNCTION OBTAINED
The solution of the fraternity house tax still remains an enigma with neither the organized houses nor the unorganized strategic points in law over a period of more than a year. The most recent accession to the county taxes is the Greek letter house hives to keep the county from selling their land and personal property placed on the county penalties. The injunction was issued August 28. The hearing before the judge was announced.
Douglas county placed fraternity houses on the tax roll last spring on the basis of legal opinion of Gorill and Brampton law courts, who questioned the constitutionality of the Kansas statute and court decision under which fraternities were exempt from taxes.
The reasons given by Gorrill and Adher are:
"1. That houses are not used exclusively as literary halls and dormitories, within strict constitutional requirements.
2. That the uses and character of the houses are not such as to bring them within the category of exempt property, announced and defined in
'Statute Is Illegal'
2. *"a" that section 79-203 of the revised institution of Kansas under which freshman admitted and void" because (a) the constitution having provided in express terms what property in the state may be admitted under the well settled rules of statutory construction to have intended that subject to tax, and that is not within the power of legislature to create any other or different exceptions than are permitted."
(b) Because of the attempt of legislatures to govern from taxation as provided by said section 79-203 in violation of Section I, Article II is of the constitution, in that it authorizes all three legislatures shall provide for a uniform and equal rate of assessment.
The hearing of this case in the state supreme court has been set for October, but it is unclear whether the court will appoint a commission to hear the evidence as presented by both the tax and the judge. The commission will in such a case the final hearing would probably be delayed three or four months, so it will be appointed in case both sides cannot agree on the facts to be used in the case.
Attorneys Are Hired
To fight the tax the fraternity houses here employed the services of the Stone, McClare, Webb, and Johnson law firm of Topea. The attorneys plan to provide provision which states: "The legislature shall provide a uniform and equal rate of assessment and taxation; but all property used exclusively for state, local, or religious, scientific, religious, benevolent and charitable purposes, and personal property to be the amount of at least £200 for each family, shall be exempt from
