Tax Church Property The Nation Should Tax Edifices
A historical polemic argues churches and related religious property should be taxed. It cites 1890 census figures for church buildings and related properties, notes vast holdings of Catholic and other churches, and warns that exemption fosters wealth, social clubs, and state support of religion. The piece urges universal taxation of church property to separate church and state and avoid confiscation abroad. It invokes Benjamin Franklin and President Garfield, contrasts exemptions with public burden, and includes anecdotes on parish finances and clergy.
