A BOY BURGLAR,

The TExARKANIAN gave notice
several days ago that Burdsaps
gallery had been robbed of the fol-
lowing articles One view iustru.
ment, one Princes wideguage len2e,
one Odell typewriter and frames,
all valued at $3.50.
Mr.. Burdsal, it seems, suspicion-
ed a young white boy whom he had
employed at one time about bis
place, and he worked on this clew
and yesterday he sprung his trap
on Victor Kline, a youth 16 years
old, who has a small stock OF con-
Iections across the street from the
gallery, and recovered his stolen
property, with the exception of the
typewriter, which had been dispos-
ed of and the boy has not told what
he did with it.
The yorrr man was put in the
Miller county Jail on the charge of
bringing stolen goods from one
state to another, the theft having
been committed just across the
line, in Texas, 1t is thought other
boys were with him in the burglary
and they will be arrested and placed
in jall, should the evidence be sufi.

POLL TAX PAYMENTS.
A Ruling Cited for the BeneBs Of
Parish Collectors.

II
". O. Picayune, July TO-. 1871
In discussing the poll tax mat
ter at the meeting of parish ss-
perintendents, Wednesday, Hon.
T. NJ. Wade, of Tensas, alluded to
a letter he had received in 1894
from Hon. M. J. Cunningham, At
torney General, relative to poll
taxes due by share laborers. Dir.
Wade was not in posses ion of the
letter, when he made his address,
but having, since, obtained q
copy, gives it for publication, as
follows:
NEW ORLEANS, La,
Sept. rs, 1894.
Hon. Thos. NJ. Wade, Secretary
Parish School Board, Nevellton.
| Tensas Parish, La:
DEAR SIR--Your favor OF the
10th received after my return re-
Gently.
When farm laborers work for
one-half of the crops raised by
them, the property is vested in
the employer, who owes the la
borer one-half. Consequently, or
dinarily, the property cannot be
seized for debt of the laborer. But
the law of the case presented by
You is somewhat peculiar, and is
to be found in section 2, act 100
of 1880, page 152. That section
provides: "That tho said poll tax
shall operate as o fret privilege
and lien on all real and personal
property, of whatever kind, which
Imay be owned by or which the
said taxpayer may have any rights
| for the year he may owe the tax
and such privilege shall continue
ito exist thereon into whatever
hands such property or right may
pass and shall not be prescribed,
land the collector of such tax shall
have the right, at any time, after
suoh tax shall be payable, and,
after the lst of January of each
year, to seize any such property or
| rights, aud to cause the. same tc
be sold, after ten days notice Civ
en-, the same as in notices of sale
under execution, to poy the said
, tax and costs of seizure and sale
(which costs shall not exceed *
lin each case.
This section clearly oontem
J plates the granting Of privilege
-lupon rights or to property, otheI
r THAN the right of ownership, ant
authorizes the seizure of sucl
rights, otherwise it would hav'
Q been necessary TO insert the word
: Iitalizised in the section as quoted
81 ("Or to which the said t,xpaye
may have any rightly, and the,
are utterly meaningless if moth
ling can be seized, except propert,,
b which actually belongs to the pol
Y tax debtor. Ny opinion 10 that
under the provisions of this acc
ltion, the tai collector has th
fright to seize the interest in, o
fright TO, any crop growing Q
q gathered, in whosoever's hand
.el found, which farm lsborors ma
have made, under labor contract
el in which they agree to make
4 crop for the share thereof, instea
% of wages.
I'll Act 81 of 1882, page %, n
pealed sections 8 and Z of act II
y of 1880, but left section 3 undli
70 turbed. From this; I am clear I'll
is object of the legislature was to n
lieve the employer Of the respons
bility of the taxes due by his en-
% ploye, but not to destroy the rigf
ie or the remedy against the en-
fe lploye. Yours truly,
M. J. CUNNINGHAM,
Attorney General.
