REPEAL THE TERRITORIAL PRO
PORTION OF THE POLL
TAX LAW.

Among the resolutions adopted as q
portion Of the platform at the recent
Democratic Territorial Convention at
Boise city was the following:
Resolved, Tint the condition OF our
Territorial treasury now justifies and we
favor and demand, the total repeal of the
Territorial proportion OF what is known
IS the Poll Tax law"
Some inquiries have been made MS to
the meaning and effect OF this resolu-
ton by gentlemen not familiar with the
revenue net. We therefore publish the
two sections OF the statute which ex-
plain the matter.
"SEc. IS. Each male inhabitant OF
this Territory, over twenty ono and un-
der fifty years Of nge, End not by law
exempt, shall pay poll tax, for the use
OF tho Territory and county, OF four
dollars; provided, the same be paid be-
tween the first Monday In March and
the first Monday in August; but IL tho
said poll tax is not paid prior to the first
Monday in August 1t shall be Ave dol
lars; and seventy Ave cents OF the extra
dollar shall be paid to the county treas
urer for the school fund, and twenty
Ave cents be retained by the tax coll
lector MS fees in addition to fifteen per
cent. on the first four dollars, which it
shall be lawful for him to retain as com
pensation for the collection OF said poll
tax"
How this four dollar poll tax is to be
distributed appears from the following
section
"SEc. 60. All money collected MS poll
tax, under the provisions Of this act,
after the expenses OF collecting are paid,
shall be paid into the county treasury;
one half thereof to be appropriated to
Territorial purposes, and the remaining
one-half to county purposes
The proposition therefore is simply to
abolish two dollars Of the poll tax laav-
Ing the county poll tax of two dollars as
at present. The penalty of one dollar
utter the first Monday in August for
non payment, now divided between the
school fund and tho collector, will prob
ably need some revision also, II the pro-
posed amendment abolishing the Ter
ritorial proportion, should become
law.
without reference 10 this proposed
change rs II partizan measure, the
amendment would be commendnble
one. This is one of tho worst taxed
communities in the country. The road
tax of four dollars is In itself terror,
but as the county obtains some local
benefit from that money, it is more en-
durable. The Territorial proportion of
the present poll tax is now dissipated in
outside circles of little advantage or in
torest to the people of Alturas county.
There might DO some iustifying reasons
for its retention II the money went to
sustain State government in distress;
but Territorial government is presu-
med to be paid for and maintained by
the Federal power that appoints the
Territorial officers.
Whichever OF the candidates for the
House Of Representatives may be elect
ed from Alturas, Mr.. Watson or Mr..
Wheeler, we are satisfied will take an ac-
tive interest in this reformation, and
We have no doubt but the Councilman
who may represent lis will give tue mat
ter serious attention.

THANK GIVING.

Though shrill-yoiced winds go bawling by,
And sober skies look grim and murky,
Men keep the feast of pumpkin pie,
And slay the pompous bird OF turkey.
The crop-haired saints Of Plymouth Rock,
Exiled the Mayhowers sacred wood IN,
At every other feast could mock, -,
But-they were human-loYedtne tnelf Puuuln ;
With sermon, prayer, and psalmody they rem
dered thanks in meeting,
Then homeward solemnly they trudgod, and
rendered thanks by eating.
Far north of Massachusetts, Bay,
And westward ever wide and wider,
Has spread the homer of the day
And flowed its hospitable cider.
For all his roaming prodigals
The fatted calf the father slaughters;
The smiling mother round her calls
Her lusty sons and lissome daughters;
Loves beacon, lighted from old days, their
homeward steps is leading,
And some whom life has swindled, are not
loath to find good feeding.
Happy whose hearth is spared by fate,
Whose calmer pulses do not ungle,
As musing by his lonely CRATE,
He minds him of dearer ingle,
Around whose fires with glowing hearts
His blood and name we're wont to cluster
All well that kind of wound still smarts
Beneath the balm of many a lustre!
Shall we give thanks that strangers sit within
our hallowed places,
Or praise that now the dust of death enshrouds
the dear lost facesg
GO buy turkey for the poor,
And make an end OF silly questions;
Thank God, for once, that You are sure
To scape Thanksgiving indigestions.
Though dark November knows no ruth
For flower or song the frolic May had
Yet for the golden hopes of youth,
IA for tlpa 1oar1o,nS of the Ur9Vhpad
For the long peace of all the dead, for the brief
days of all men living,
May even wandering, homeless hearts make
glad Thanksgiving.
