The Mohave Co. Miner has the following in regard to the poll tax law: Many Arizona newspapers are expressing themselves vigorous ly on the subject of the poll tax law. That it is unconstitutional is averred by all. Nowthe-f -faet..is the law isl constitutional and the voter might as we'll accept the situation. If the law is obnexions the llekflesislature can repeal it. As voting qualifca- tion the poll tax law has been adopted by Arkansas and Tennessee, while Delaware, Pennsylvania and Georgia have a property tax qualifi- cation. Many other states had property qualifications until few years ago. Under the Australisn ballot system number of states have adopted an educational quail fication. The payment of poll and property tax as the necessary qual- ifcation of voter at general or special election IS no new thing in the United States and its constitu- tionality has been tested in the courts. In all the states paupers, idiots and incopetents are excluded from voting. In Arizona paupers can vote if their poll tax is paid.
