Gov. Hardin's recommendation That a
poll tax oil 81 per annum be levied Tor
the benefit Of the permanent school fund
is a good one. The st. Louis Republic
can thinks that :he only way to enforce
its collection would he to make the poll
tax receipt a prerequisite to voting
We see no pan ticular objection to this.
as the man who does not bear this small
proportion of the public burdens is
scarcely entitled to the elective fran-
chi-e, especially when the resultant
fund Is applied to educational purposes.
II might. in addition, be made a safe
guard to the purity OF the ballot box.
The tax would yield something like
four hundred thousand dollars per year,
and at that rate Missouri would soon
have Il school fund Of which she might
be proud.
