THE Philadelphia Record takes ground
against the poll tax as at present levied
and collected as prerequisite for
voting. While this tax Is well enough
and should be annually collected
from every voter, 1t should not exist as
q structure upon the right OF voting.
That it has been perverted from its
original purpose by corrupt politicians
is pl ainly evident. The spirit of the
constitution is opposed to anything
like q restriction of the right of
suffrage. Its object is that every man
who wants to vote shall have the
chance to vote but once. Manhood
should be the test of q voter, not re-
ceipt for a paltry tax paid by himsel
or by somebody else for him. Tit
abuses Of the present system of making
the pay ment Of a tax a voting test b a
grown to such enormous proportion
that such q system cannot be advocate
consistently by men who are POLITICAL.

THE doctors who examined the forty

THE doctors who examined the forty
three policemen Of Mayorelect Rhoads'
force, should have some remuneration
for their services, but whether the
pay for their services Is not included in
the salary they receive as members OF
the Board of Health is a question. The
Law as laid down by the Legislature
fixes the salary of each member OF the
Board of Health at one hundred dollars
and the same law preseribes the physi-
cal examination Of policemen as part
of the duties of the physicians of the
Board of Health. The doctors mus
evidently look upon that duty as extra
work, and hence their bill of SIPS sen
to the City Council.
