was generally conceded that he

TERRELL on POLL TAX AMENDMENT.

Judge A. w. Terrell, one of tn,
greatest intellects in Texas and q
democratic nominee for the legis'
laturc in Travis county, in a re-
cent interview expressed himself
as follows:
1.-THE records of the comptroll-
er's office reveal several astonish-
ing facts bearing on this subject OF
which our people are ignorant.
The records show that in the year
1900 there were 1856, 900 voters who
failed TO pay their poll tax Of sl.5O
each; 81 Of the amount due from
each voter belongs TO the school
fund. So the school fund lost
that year alone $4,000. During
the last ten years sl,360,000 have
been lost to the school fund by
failure to pay that poll tax. How
much more has been lost by fail.
ure to assess wandering white men,
Mexicans, Migrants and negroes,
no man knows.
at is safe to assume that since
the poll tax law was passed the
cause of public education has lost
over 100000 by failure to pay
that tax; that loss had to be made
up by increased taxes on the prop
erty Of other men.
at is sometimes a d that
wealthy people and corporations
will pay the poll tax for others and
control their votes. A statute law
yet TO be passed will prevent all
that. Let the tax be paid six
months before hand, and let the
law require the certificate to be
kept by the voter and money will
lose its power over it. for it will
not be advanced on corrupt bar.
