 met there by a strong lobby of Southern

 week after week to have the legislation
 passed, and kept this up until late in the session, when we saw that we would not

THE POLL TAX QUALIFICATIONS


Representative Flynn. OF New
Orleans, has introduced bill III the
Legislature, amending the Constitu-l
ton by destroying the poll tax
clause of that instrument, which is
at present is one of the qnalltica-
tions the voter must possess IN order
to he able to vote. According to
this clause of the Constitution,
every person, between the ages of
60 and 81 years. shall be required
to pay, on or before the Sist OF
December, of each year, for the two
years preceding the year in which
be offers to vote, poll tax of one
dollar per annum, to be used exclu-
sively in the aid of public schools of
the parish in which said tax shall
have been collected. In order to
vote, he must show his poll tax re-
ceipts for the two years previous, or
duplicates thereof.
A canvass of the sentiment of the
State shows large percentage OF
the people against the poll tax quail
fication. The recent election has
shown the almost complete elimina
ton of the negro vote, and there
does not appear, now, any need OF
the poll tax requirement. The argu
ment that the poll taxes go 10 The
schools is met by the answer tina
heretofore we have not bad a pol
tax of this character, and that tn
State can make provision for tn
schools without it.
| The poll tax feature OF the ne'
| Constitution only became etfecuy
| after the recent election. 1t ha
not yet been practically tried, an
there is some difference of opinio
among lawyers as to whether, unde

years, or none at all, are required
, the coming election IN November
Unless the Constitution is amended
the provision will remain IN 1t unit
1908, when the Legislature ma
: either do away with it or modify /
as it sees fit.
Mr.. Flynn's bill should be passe
by the Legislature, so that the pc
pie can vote upon it at the Mover

OUR COUNTRY SCHOOLS.

While it is prsiseworthy and very
important that industrial and textile
schools should be established through
out tue State for the higher education
of our young men ard young women.
yet it is equally important that these
should not superccde the country
schools. or that the latter should s7f-
fer at the expense of the former. The
ground work Of an education is laid in
the public schools throughout the coun-
try. and If these are neglected, how
can the scholar advance to the higher
grades. when the foundation for a
higher education is wantingP This is
QUESTION which is causing some
comment by the press OF late, and we
clip one or two extracts in line with
what we have said above. The Farm
eryille Gazette, says:
| The Gazette is strong believer in
higher education and the up-building
of state schools and colleges but We
do not think these should DO fostered
at the expense OF the public school in
forests in the country. The masses Of
Louisiana's boys and girls cannot at
tend the state Institutions; and thence
they must rely upon the country
schools for the limited educational ad-
yantages. 1t is the masses that the
| legislators should endeavor TO benefit;
and hence they should see TO it that
our country school interests ars not
sacrificed.
| On the subject of Higher Educa-
tom the New Orleans Item has the
following to say:
While The Item radically favors the
establishment OF industrial aud textlle
schools, it has b.1 occasion to warn
public legislators that they had about
