POLL TAKES DON'T 90.
That y the Dsclsion of the Arapahos
District Court.

District Court
Denver, Aug. 11--Assessor Ames
was yesterday sustained by Jadge Pal
mer in the District Court in his atti-
tude regarding the extension and col
lection OF the military poll tax In Arap-
nhoe county. Judge Palmer's decision
is a reversal of that Of the county at
torney and the attorney general. De
spite the fnct that NIL of his predeces-
sOrs have done II, Assessor Ames re-
fused to extend the poll tax. which is a
special levy for the support Of the
state militia. on all men over the age
Of twenty-One years. on the ground
that the statute providing for such levy
was ambiguous In its meaning, and,
secondly. because the levy would be In
excess Of the limit of the per capita
tax provided by law.
The case will be taken to the Court
Of Appeals. 1t In doubtful what effect
the final result will produce. The as
SCISSOR holds that the statute is defec-
tive. When Attorney General Carr
was called before the commissioners TO
give them his Interpretation OF It, he
did not lay no much stress upon the
constitutionality OF the statute as up
on the fact that a precedent had been
established In the extension and collec-
tiOn Of the tnx and that as the duties
OF the assessor were merely ministerial
II was not for him to test the cOnstitu-
tionnlity. but to do what his predeces-
sors In office had done.
Judge Palmer. In his decision. which
was short and oral, did not pass upon
the constitutional question involved.
He said, In substance. that. inasmuch
as the law was silent upon the method
OF collecting the poll tax, II was not
mandatory upon the assessor to extend
the tax. II will probably take an act
by the next Legislature to strnighten
out the law and until it convenes there
Is likely TO be no military poll tax col
lected in Arapahoc county, II indeed
In any county in the state. Assessor
Ames will notify the other county as
SCISSORS OF the state OF his victory, and
II they follow the example Of the Arap-
ahoe assessor. II is n question where
the militia cnn draw from for the next
two years.

THE LEADER hopes that In the

hours OF the session, house bill n, by
Mr.. Rose, may not be neglected nor
forgotten Mr.. Roses bill deals with
a subject that needs legislation, and
the restriction thrown around the
marriage relation in this measure are
salutary and well-timed. IL prohibits
marriage between any parties related
by blood or affinity within the levitt
cal degrees. 1t also includes the now
famous clause prohibiting marriage
With a mother-in-law
No boy under 2 years of age or girl
under IS can marry without the con-
sent Of parents or guardians, and boys
gnd,r IS and girls under IS are pos
,tively prohibited.
The mAr ri.so OF whites with blacks
is forbidden, and such careful safe
guards thrown around the issuing of
marriage licenses, that it will be ex.
tremely difficult to evade the pro-
visions of the.Act, A fine Of from 500
10 $500 is imposed for a violation OF
it's provisions.
This law is OF the greatest i'm.
