VICTIMS OF THE POLL TAX LAW
WHAT IT COSTS TO BECOME DE-
LINQUENT.
Original Tax of So Grows to Se.4o
When It Gets Into the Clutches of
the Courts.

Ten cases against delinquent polltax
payers have been brought before JUS
tice Nielsen. and others may be COM
menced. Constable Hartley has served
summons on them, but few have APP
peared in court.
The cases already begun are against
A Casterson, S. Goldwater, NJ Wolff,
G. d. Aiken. 1. E. Golf, A H. David
son. j. H. Parsons, C. H. Reeves, Ed
ward Calder and Adolph Richter. The
latter proved that he was exempt.
One or two of these have paid the
taxes and costs of suits. But against
the remainder judgment will likely
soon be entered if they do not pay up.
The polltax is only So but the costs
of court proceedings is 81. an execution
60 cents, service of summons of the
constable S1.40 and service of the execu-
ton s2.40. so that the total cost to the
delinquents is now 1910 each.
IF these people will come and settle
now" said Justice Nielsen, they may
do so for $500. I will knock off my
costs. But l understand that if they
don't settle. garnishments against
property will be asked for. This will
be more expensive"

SCHOOL ELECTION VOID.
Polls Must Remain Open For Four
Consecutive Hours.

Assistant Attorney General Lee has
prepared an opinion concerning school
elections which will be of much inter-
est and is of Importance to school di-
rectors.
He declares that the law requires that
the polls must be open for four con-
secutive hours per day at a school
election and if they are open for any
shorter time the election is invalid.
The opinion is drawn forth by a re-
quest from County Attorney L. o. Hoff-
man of Carbon county, who. writing
from Price, said that school election
to determine whether or not a l per
cent tax should be voted was held
April 9, from 2 to p. m. He inquired
as to whether or not the special tax
levied pursuant to the election could
be collected.
Mr.. Lee declares that in section 1907
of the revised statutes, it is required
that the polls shall remain open four
consecutive hours and he says that the
provision is mandatory, and that
failure to observe the law invalidates
the election.
He further states that it is not neces-
sary for contestant to show that the
tax levy proposition would have been
defeated if the polls remained open
only two hours. Every voter had a
right 10 presume that they would re-
main open that length of time
AS a consequence it will be necessary
for the Price school district to hold an
other election

| joining counties.

by Vice President John c. Whitbeck.
William Bench acted as secretary. Mr.
Whitbeck stated the object of the
meeting and a number of the gentle
men present spoke in favor of perfect
ing a permanent organization.
The matter of asking congress to re-
imburse the veterans for their time
and losses during the wars was dis
cussed at length. but action was de-
ferred until the meeting of the camp
fire In the course of the discussion of
this question, President Peterson stated
that Sanpete county had suffered more
from Indian wars and paid more to
feed Indians than all the rest of the
territory.
Among the many interesting stories
of the war told was one of the Indian
fighters who were sent up from
Utah county to help protect the
settlers of Sanpete. This band
of warriors got up into Thistle valley
where the Indians surrounded them,
and had it not been for the Sanpete
wooden shoes, who went to their aid,
they would have been exterminated. As
one of the veterans stated, when the
Sanpete boys reached them there was
only one man fighting, and his name
was Dewey. The others had retreated
to their tents.
Upon the suggestion of President Pc
terson, the bishops of the several wards
