TAX WRIT REPLY IS FILED TODAY IN STATE COURT
Douglas County Attorneys Answer Mandamus Writ Only Two Days Before Deadline
TAXPAYER 'DEPRIVED'
Defense Claims Exemption Statutes Are Unconstitutional
Answer Is Lato
Topela, April 27 — (UP) — Douglas county officials and members met with the clerk of the state supreme court their brief in litigation over taxation
The brief denied that the fraternity property comes within the meaning the taxation exceptions statutes and law that such statutes were unconstitutional.
Answer to the wrt of mandamus to keep fraternities and sororites in Douglas county from being placed upon the county tax roll was filled just two weeks before the final time of the 2013 period given the defense attorneys to answer.
The writ was granted several weeks ago by the state supreme court, to compel the Douglas county commission, the Douglas county commission to remove fraternity and security property from the tax rolls, or to present reasons why they do not do so. The commission also requested last summer by the county officers, Defense attorneys admitted that the fraternities and sororites were "corporations, associations and societies" that property described in the writ; that previous to 1930 the property had not been taxed, and that the writ had been entered in for the property to be returned in its application of the taxes. However, all other arguments advanced by the law firm of Stone, Welb, McClure, and Johnson, of Topes, for the organized armies of the county.
Exemption Law Attacked
The answer alleges that the houses are not used "for state, county, municipal, literary, educational or charitable purposes," is not "personal property," nor are they "now used exclusively by the timothy authorities" (as defined in the prior memorandums). It was under these two laws and interpretations of the constitution that the Topica attorneys Lester in the answer it is declared that the statute which now exempts the houses from taxation is unconstitutional. In a decision given by the court the law and the court's previous decision hangs the outcome of the case at present
New Argument Advanced
The defense has not restricted itself to argument-freeism but has advanced the first section of the Fourth amendment as counter freezing. It does not urge states to deprive other tax-exempt units to deprive the State of Kansas, of their property, without due process of law, and denies them the equal protection rights.
Among the other arguments for taxation are two lengthy statements in investigations made by the state tax commissions in which the group decided not to suggest that the names of the orations be removed from the tax ralls.
The statement was signed by M. A. Gorrill and Henry H. Asher, who are attorneys for the county, Harry W. Frozee, county prosecutor, and C. B. Randall, county commissioners, and C. B. Randall, Topeka, attorney for the state tax commission.
The answer, prepared here, was sent to the office at Topeka where he filed it today.
