DOWN WITH THE POLL TAX
PALoUsE, Jan. 20. 1884.

FALOUSE, Jan. ~, 1854.
Ed. TELLER:-Ailow me through your
columns to call the attention of the tax
payers of this county to this matter OF
poll tax.
Allow me first to quote from page 242,
section 2, 18th session. Such officer (the
assessor) shall each year collect one poll
tax from every person in his county re-
quired by law to pay such tax, and at the
regular meeting of the board of county
commissioners in October of each yeal
he shall produce his poll tax books to the
board, and he shall be charged with one
poll tax for every man in said book and
shall only be discharged therefrom by
showing that he has collected the tax Of
every person named in said book.
= And every poll tax from which he
is not thus discharged by the board he
shall collect on or before the 18th day
of November, then next ensuing.
y X This is the law which, to my mind,
is as plain as b C, the 18th of November
of each year is the statute Of limitation
for collecting poll tax.
Yes, in direct violation of the law the
minions Of L. +. Herbert are to-day on
the Palouse in January 1884 collecting
poll taxes for 1888 and the receipts which
they are giving are lie upon their face.
An officer should do his duty, but he
should do it according to law.
Let US have no more of this nonsense.
Down with the poll tax and down with
l.. +. Herbert. RoNNoc.

Another Old Citizen Passed

Death has again visited our midst
and this time has taken from the
community an old and we'll known
citizen, on Wednesday night. The
grim reaper cut down with the
scythe Of time Mark Gator, brother
of John Gator, sexton Of Lincoln
Cemetery. The deceased has been
in charge of the Grand Hotel for
number of years; and was faithful
honest and upright citizen, COM
handing the respect of all who
knew him. He was a kind father
and loving husband, and only sur
vived the death of his wife Elizabeth
a few months. By dint of hard
work and careful economy he &C.
cumulated comfortable home, upon
which many improvements have
been made within the past year. He
was member of Brotherly Love
Lodge, 896, G. U. 0. Of o. F., in
good standing, and during his short
but painful illness was carefully
watched over by the members of the
order. Deceased was 81 years old

ter, Amelia Hart, ard step daugh-
ter, Mary E. Stokes. He has passed
away to join that inDumerable host
which will assemble at the sound OF
the angels trumpet, when the grave
shall give up its dead. He fell asleep
"safe in the arms of Jesus to know
no awakening until all the sleeping
dead are aroused by the trumpet's
blast. The funeral took place from
