POLL TAXES AND THE VOTING FRANCHISE.

The Birmingham Age-1Ierald in "poll-tax
qualification" possible solution of the problem of reg
uating the negro vote in Alabama Whether the new
constitutional convention in Alabama will adopt this
plan or more comprehensive and drastic law to elm
mate the black vote remains to be seen
The "polltax qualification" means that a voter must
have his polltax receipt before he can exercise the
right of suffrage But in the States that have lately
adopted it decided Improvement has been introduced
in order to prevent politicians candidates. or their
understrikers, from furnishing voters with these Ger.
tifcates. The receipt must have been obtained from
six months in cases, to two years, in Others be-
fore the election which the holder proposes to vote
The most ambitious and generous Office seeker will
rarely risk putting out large of money months
two before election to pay the poll tax
Of men who be bought to vote There are too
many risks TO take The voter may be dead or gone by
the date Of the election. Many of those for whom re-
cepts would ordinarily be provided are but birds of
passage anyway, and the speculation a year in ad-
vance on their votes would be extremely reckless
one.
But when the Dolltax payment is required long in
advance Of elections is question that not about
the best and the least complicated and most rational
way yet devised for getting rid the ignorant vicious
and floating vote.
AS the AgeHerad says there is nothing plutocratic
in demanding that voter shall be at least potax
payer "a poll tax is the minimum of support of a
State and the voter should belong to the supporters
OF the State and not TO the drones" -
This question especially affects cities where cleo.
lions are commonly carried by the vicious floating or
purchasabe vote. There is not State in the Union.
certainly not one in the South where qualification Of
TINS kind ought not to be the statute books with
an educational and polltax qualification combined
anywhere in this country governments of all descrp
tons would be immeasurably improved And the
States will all have to to such reform sooner or
later.
An additional reason for compelling the payment of
poll taxes by me method is the fact that in this
and most of the other States these taxes 20 to the sun
