Members Of Poor Board Decided Not
to Listen to 1t.
HE OBJECTED TO THE PENALTY
As Ills Opinion with Regard to Its Legality
Had Not Been Asked 1t Was Not

ing Was in Vain.

Charles +. Van Mort. for many years
a collector of poor and other taxes. was
at the poor board meeting yesterday
with bundle of law books. newspaper
clippings, note books and manuscript or
q fifteen minute speech to back up the
contention of Director Gibbons that in
Fiction of the $1.12 penalty on poor tax
delinQuents Is unjust ana illegal ana
crying abuse.
During the progress of the meeting
Mr.. Van Mort occupied seat at one
side of the enclosure and as the
members knew what was coming
they were ready for him when
he was granted the privilege Of
the floor and arose to address them
Mr.. Gibbons introduced him by saying
that he was a citizen who had been
called upon to pay SLIP penalty on his
poor tax and who wanted to pay 1t II 1t
was proper, but who had some reasons
to advance showing it was far from
proper.
Then Mr. Van Mort began by untieing
his bundle of data and announcing that
he had n fifteen minute speech which
1t would please him to read If the board
cared to listen to it, The board didn't
say whether it cared or not, SO Mr.. Van
Mort proceeded.
His Little Fling at Scrnsg.
His first utterance was a sarcastic
reference to Attorney Scragg's opinion
IF 1t can be called an opinion" as Mr.
Van Mort put it-and then started
forth to show that Mr.. Scragg dad not
get at the bottom of the question.
President Langstaff at this juncture
interrupted him by saying that the
board could not entertain such utter
ances and brought down mis- gavel with
a force that betokened that he was in
earnest.
Let him CO." said Mr.. Gibbons. "he
knows more about this law than your
attorney. He was in the tax business
before any of you knew what taxes
We're. He wants hearing about his
penalty and the board should give him
a hearing"
Mr.Tropp-"The law fixes the penalty
and the poor board has nothing to do
with 1t further than requiring a bond
from the collector that he will enforce
the provisions of the law and collect the
taxes"
Mr.. Langstaff-"We can exonerate
you, Mr.. Van Mort. if you can show that
you are too poor to pay the tax or PEN
atty, but we can not infringe on the
powers which the law gives a collector"
Mr.. Gibbons-"Why can't we have q
case stated and have the matter
settled"
Mrs. Swan-"Any individual can do
that"

The New Gambling Law

The following law has been passed
by both branches of the Legislature,
and teen signed 10y the governor, and
will be in force and effect from and
after its publication in the official
state paper:
Section /, Every person who shall directly or
indirectly bet any money or property at a com
mon gambling house. or at any place to which
peasons are accustomed to resort for gambling
purposes, or at any place kept for the purpose OF
being used as place Of gambling, whether such
betting be upon any game of skill or chance
either with without cards or dice, by use of any
kind of device or Contriyance whatsoever for de-
termining chances shall be guilty Of felony, and
upon conviction shall be punished by imprison.
ment ut hard labor in the penitentary for term
not less than one year nor more than three years.
Sec 2, Every perrpp who, under circumstances
not provided for in the preceding section, shall
bet any money or property at or upon any gam
bling table, bank or device, or upon the result Of
the NOV, ment Of any wheel or other device, or
the throwing Of dice, or upon the result Of any
game ot pkill or chance, whether with dice or
cards, or other tbrg, or hazard property upon
chance to be determined by means of any kind Of
Ice, or bet upon any game played by any kind
Of gambling device, snail be deemed guilty of a
mis demeanor and upon conviction shall be pun
ished by fine OF not LEES than ten dollars nor
more than one hundred dollars, or by imprison.
ment IN the conn y jail not less than ten days no
more than thirty days or path zach aue ind i'm
prlsonment
Sec 3, Section $40 of chapter 81 of the genera
statutes OF 1868 is hereby repealed
Sec. 4. This actshall take effect and be in force
from and after its publication in the official state
paper.
1t seems to be the opinion of prom
inent attorneys that the measure is so
severe that conviction under it's pro.
vision will be almost impossible, We
have a lot of so-called reformers
among our Legislators, who, while
posing as advocates of laws tending
to check the spread OF gambling and
drinking, pass laws so stringent that
iuries show too much leniency and re-
quire almost impossible evidence Of
guilt before they convict, and 1t may
be so with this one. Since the psss-
age of the law, however, the nickel
in-the-slot" cigar machines have dis
appeared from view.
